What a house !
The good- This home is amazing. The caretaker Victorino was so nice and helpful. The cooks that came over made each dinner one to remember. House can easily meet the needs for a family of 8. The kayaks and paddle boards were very fun and you have your own beach. Ok, the bad(kinda)- you are right next to San Antonio. very close. So when you are sleeping you hear a fair amount of dogs barking. And on the beach the locals travel back and forth quite a bit to bathe in the lake right by the house. But don’t let that take away from a great home and a wonderful host.

Beautiful property
The property is beautiful, the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, and the food is delicious. I highly recommend taking the chef option for a few meals. If you're not familiar with the Lake, this location has a few drawbacks as the town is very small and it's a bit far from most of the other towns around the lake. The benefit is you can access the property directly by car, and it gives you the opportunity to see a very small, un-touristed town which you might not visit otherwise. Finally, Marlon was incredibly helpful and accommodating with all back and forth communication leading up to, and during the stay. Thank you!
