Perfect for a large group of friends!
We had a great experience and the house was perfect for us! So much room and privacy for each room. We traveled with 9 and had more than enough space. Host was super communicative and accommodating. While the host does provide some extra fans in a few of the rooms, I would suggest bringing your own if you are someone who typically sleeps hot. It’s just one of the upstairs bedrooms that got a little warm but nothing the extra fans didn’t fix! Overall, no complaints!! We look forward to staying here again!

Great weekend!
My friends and I brought our daughters-in-law on a weekend trip so there were 11 women total. We had plenty of space. The beds were comfortable and the house was very nice. Would definitely recommend this house.

TXST Graduation
Family of 10 had an extremely comfortable and relaxing stay for celebrating Texas State Graduation and gave a great Texas feel.
House was beautiful and well stocked and the property was amazingly beautiful. Even got to see a few newborn fawns right outside the front door.

Fun house
Great inside and out. Game room and TV loft were perfect for the kids, big master for grandparents on the opposite side of the house provided quiet space, and the rustic outdoors invited daily wildlife. Would love to come again.

Making Memories
The house is located deep in the country on dark roads so arrive during the day time. The property is spacious and many renovations have been made to update it. The house sits on over an acre of rustic land with a great deal of potential. Water pressure varies as the home uses a septic tank for service. Our group was comfortable and enjoyed the time away.

The Favorite
Our family has stayed in several nice AB&Bs over the last several years. This property is, by far, the favorite. The home is lovely and spacious (there are 16 of us ranging in age from 5 to adult) and the property is great (with deer in the yard each morning). Jessica could not have been more accommodating. She responded quickly and is easy to communicate with! We will want to stay there again if we have the opportunity!

Wedding
We had this house for 2 nights. I had my wedding reception here and it was perfect for a very casual gathering. Everyone loved the house and asked how I had found it. Plenty of space for parking, lots of room for guests to sleep, and it was an easy check in process. If I had to have a space like this again, I would be likely to rent this house again.
