The property was clean and the kitchen was stocked with everything that was needed to prep food. The host was amazing and was very communicative whenever I messaged her. We had a group of ten and there was plenty of room for us all to spread out and relax. The couch in the living room is amazing! The views are spectacular and the wildlife was an added bonus. I would not hesitate to book again.

Everything was superb! House was clean, fully stocked from kitchen to outdoor gathering spaces with games! The Hosts were prompt in response and extremely helpful when one of our travelers left a beloved blanket behind. The views in the morning and at sunset were amazing! We loved watching the deer and hearing the turkeys. Our family enjoyed our stay so much that we are planning a return trip in the fall! Highly recommend Hill Country Haven.
