This was a wonderful experience. We were looking for a location that was central to everything we wanted to do and pet friendly. This place was perfect. Hosts were wonderful, available for any questions that we had and responded quickly to all questions. Have stayed at numerous VRBO locations, this was the best stocked one so far!! Hosts really do try to make this a home away from home. We have already scheduled our return visit for next year. I highly recommend this location.

Wonderful Home
My husband and I stayed in this lovely home for a week during the Memorial Holiday. We couldn’t be happier with this home. It has everything you could possibly need. Everything was stocked from fresh towels to spices. We loved the BBQ out in the backyard. We brought our dog with us and took him took him for walks every morning. Met some of the neighbors, all lovely and very nice. Dusty is just wonderful with any questions you may have, even on a holiday weekend! She is just an amazing host!! Can’t thank her enough for being such a gracious host. I can recommend this home with 100% confidence.
BTW, loved the sweet that we provided to us as a welcome😋

Outstanding family trip
We had a wonderful family trip and Dusty’s house was the perfect venue. Our family came together from 3 states for a great visit, and we were lucky enough to have a perfect view of the total solar eclipse. Everything with the property was exactly as presented on the listing and the checkin and checkout was a breeze. If you are looking for a great house with a great host don’t pass this one up.

Great Family Friendly Property
This property was even nicer than the pics suggested! It was very spacious, clean, well kept, and the beds were very comfortable. The host was extremely easy to work with and responsive to all messages that I sent her. My family loved the theater room, we watched several movies together in the evenings after our vacation outings. The neighborhood was nice and quiet, with easy access to I-35. We went to Gruene for lunch and dinner several times, and we went to San Antonio several days, and both were super easy to get to from the rental. There are plenty of stores and restaurants nearby. Great experience, we will definitely stay here next time we’re in town! Thank you Dusty for providing an awesome place to stay!
