Lovely Historical Home
Even though you can tell this is an older property, it has been updated very thoughtfully and has all the amenities you could want. There were 5 of us and each of the three bedrooms had their own bathroom, which was very appreciated. Hot water showers wasn't an issue, even though we all showered in the evening. It's a lovely property and we look forward to coming when the weather is better so we can really enjoy the spectacular porches/deck. An issue with A/C was addressed immediately and to our satisfaction. Would highly recommend this location!

Cozy luxury in Heart of Texas
We felt like royalty greeted at Christmas time with a tree decorated house lighted up for our family party. Loved the kitchen with the back patio table for outdoor breakfast. Will love to plan another trip there again.
