Cozy Place to Stay
The house was roomy and cozy. It had plenty of beds. Unfortunately, we did not have an opportunity to enjoy staying there because of the pickleball tournament. We were out most of the time. The only concern I had was the location which was a little far from the Dreamland, pickleball facility.

Family Gathering
Overall, the space worked for us. Plenty of comfortable beds, large family gathering area and seating for meals. Pool was very enjoyable.
Why the low ratings?
Many dishes in cupboards were dirty.
We found the dishwasher to be the problem; it doesn’t work very well. We resorted to mainly handwashing - not what we want to do on vacation.
Inside of kitchen cabinets not well cleaned.
Not all kitchen cabinet doors close properly and some have large cracks.
Opened oven door and immediately closed it - not clean.
Master sink faucet not working properly.
Laundry room has a very foul smell.
Child’s underwear and large hairball found in the middle
bedroom on closet floor.
Towels provided were well used and dingy (except pool towels).
Hallway floor creaks very loud right in front of one of the bedrooms.
Worst - across the road lives two dogs off leash. They chased me and my granddaughters while we were out for a morning walk. I had to protect them and scream at the dogs. They finally went home but it was a scary situation and the kids were crying. We could never let them go out front, even to take the trash out. My son was able to
talk to the owners the next day and they agreed to tie
them up. We shouldn’t have had to deal with this!
I really thought going the VRBO route would provide us a top notch home. Boy were we wrong. The photos online do not match the reality of the property. This place is not worth any where near what we were charged. Extremely disappointed.

Great Location & Clean House
Great spacious house. Was very clean inside. Pool had clear water but a little green growing on the sides. Not a big deal but it was noticeable. Everything worked but the wooden deck outside needs a little maintenance as it is rotten in a few spots. Floor inside the house is a little wonky in places, likely resulting from the house settling over years and years. But that's just nitpicking because the price wasn't super cheap. All in all, I would stay here again. Right down the road from Deep Eddy's which I recommend visiting.

Good place for a family long weekend
Property was good
Pool guy ran us out of pool last day in middle of afternoon to clean
Found snakes first day, harmless and did not see them again, but snakes are snakes
Found scorpion on last night in bathroom … he is no longer around, if you know what I mean
Pool was great.. kids and adults rated pool area and pool itself #1
Clean
Sleeping arrangements for 16 but interesting arrangements to get there
Plenty of room for different activities… ping pong table was big hit… also close to all town needs
Would recommend for a good place to stay in Texas Hill Country

House is okay, pool is great
Private pool was very clean and well-maintained. House was spacious but quite old and had some cleanliness issues when we checked in, which Vacasa (property manager) did not resolve. I would not pay the premium rate for this property unless you plan on getting a lot of use out of the pool. I will avoid Vacasa-managed properties in the future.
