Wonderful escape

The house itself is very comfortable— several seating areas with plush sofas and nice bedrooms. The property feels like a private oasis. Thick gardens, chirping birds, and owls create a beautiful outdoor space where kids and adults can enjoy a relaxing paradise. The house is a marvel of old Texas architecture, and it is decorated thoughtfully.

It was a very spacious property both indoors & outside. We enjoyed the game tables and the privacy of the property. The only thing that we felt shorted was not having tv’s in all the bedrooms and the mattresses in the upstairs bedrooms were very stiff.
