Great little newly renovated property to stay on! Really close to Belton, Temple, and Kileen where we were able to explore the area really easily. The comforts of home without being at home. Any issue we had management was very attentive and quickly dispatched who was needed to repair our issue. The fence isn't fully fenced in, so keep that in mind with pets. Overall will be recommending to friends and family if they need a place to stay in the area.
