Great stay! Waking up in the morning and having the cattle there made the experience that much more! At night you can see the stars, hear crickets chirp and see a firefly or two. Great getaway!

This was a 2nd stay and it is so nice to be close to town but with a real feeling of being in the country. The house was very clean with all the convivences of home. No problems getting a signal making it easy to check some emails. The beds and couches very comfortable. It is a great place to stay. The host responds very promptly to messages and questions. Thank you to the host for another amazing stay!

Relaxing atmosphere
The small fenced in yard was great for our small dog. We were there to attend an air force basic training graduation at Lackland AFB. The commute was easy and having a Walmart close by came in handy. We really enjoyed the quiet, relaxing setting.

Highly recommended!
The host was excellent. The house was excellent. The property was excellent. The location was excellent. We have stayed in a lot of VRBO’S this was a very nice clean place to stay. We always read reviews on places that we are going to stay and we always look for the negative reviews. The negative reviews on this location are ridiculous. The reviews saying No Wi-Fi bad service etc is ridiculous. It’s a getaway in the country if you want all that stuff you should stay in a VRBO in town just my opinion. We had absolutely no issues with this home or anything else to do with this home. We loved it so that our kids if we’re back in the area, we will definitely stay here again. Highly recommend to all.

Short Stay
Property was perfect for our short trip to attend a wedding nearby. Host was very timely and responsive when we had a question, which was most appreciated. Gave cleanliness a 4 only because there were a lot of spider webs all over tables and fireplace and the showerheads could use a good scrub to remove all the calcium build up... other than that, clean.

Beautiful house in a great town!
This is really a beautiful place. The drought is tough on this area right now, but it didn't stop us from having a great time. It is nice to be outside town a bit to have more privacy. We find it easier to relax that way. The price is great and it is well suited for groups.We had a little trouble with the internet but had Direct TV so we could watch a movie in the evenings. The house was clean and included games, which we enjoy.Thanks for sharing your lovely home.

No WiFi, unreliable cell signal - should be advertised!!!!!
I was surprised upon arrival there was no WiFi and suggested to the owner that he should have made that clear in the property description. He was defensive and asked if I was questioning his integrity - then offered me a partial refund for promising to not write a review. Some integrity. If I could rate just the furniture it would be a 5/10. Old and uncomfortable. There was no outdoor furniture except a couple battered dining chairs and a two decorative benches. Nothing to lounge on or a table. The gate sucked especially at night. Could not locate a single smoke detector or carbon monoxide detector on the property. Nice house, quiet surroundings, but nowhere near a 10/10 get real.
