The house is adorable! The sharp knives are amazing! We had everything we needed. The neighborhood is lovely - quiet with very friendly neighbors. We did not go to the lake, though.

Excellent place to stay! Clean, modern, charming house/cabin. Worked well for our Aggie football weekend trip. Loved coffee on the front porch watching the deer and listening to the roosters welcoming the sunrise.

Rural yet quaint

Very clean and updated. Couple of points to note:1) uncomfortable sofa which was too small for the room and for sitting2) bed pillows - sleeping pillow options would be appreciated3) lighting is way too bright - dimmers will helpLocation and neighborhood were disappointing as we were traveling to Round Top for the Annual Market Event.

Great place, absolutely beautiful inside and out! Everything you need is there and the host very friendly and eager to help! Walk to the state park, enjoy the deer that come up to the cabin every night and morning to eat! No need to eat out they have a great bar-b-Que spot! Expections definitely exceeded with this jewel!
