Cabin Fun

This is the cutest little cabin in the woods, it’s peaceful and so tranquil. The owners were so sweet and accommodating, she checked in on us and made sure we had everything we needed and it was all to our liking, which it absolutely was! It was such a great time, we can’t wait to go back and do some more Texas Fishing!! :)

Country Getaway

We had a family Christmas weekend of playing games, exchanging gifts, and lots of eating. The place was very clean with large bathrooms and ample parking as we had 6 vehicles. We spent our time indoors because of the weather but the outside looked so inviting. We drove to Nacogdoches and it wasn’t a long commute. I would highly recommend this place.

TOP NOTCH GETAWAY

If you don’t need the city, this is a great spot to relax and rest. My best friend and I absolutely loved it. The hosts did a fantastic job of outfitting and decorating the place. Lots of room inside and out. Quiet, private. And it was so clean. We have no complaints. If you plan to cook a big meal though, you might want to bring some kitchen items.

Excellent Barndo in the country

We really enjoyed our stay. Home was nicely equipped and decorated, The living room furniture was not comfortable to sit on. Wi-Fi was very slow. When cold front came through with heavy wind and rain some decorations blew off of porch. Other than that the VRBO was excellent.

Nice Property

It was a very nice property. The only criticism is that smell of the water made it hard to wash clothes. Instructions we left to run the water due to the well, but that didn’t work for the washing machine.

mostly positive

Very clean with ample amenities. Our host, Pamela, was responsive to our additional contacts after we arrived. Whoever cleaned the place before we arrived is a Cleaning Ninja. We have a few nits to pick. The main one is we discovered a camera aimed at the front porch, which belies the VRBO advertising claim of complete privacy. It wasn't hidden, but it wasn't obvious like fake cameras usually are. There was also a Ring doorbell, presumably with a camera and microphone by the front door. Although we didn't do anything to have shamed ourselves, the presence of monitoring devices is, again, contrary to a feeling of having privacy. We can understand the need for security monitoring, but perhaps the hosts should give a written assurance they are inactive when guests are present, or give guests an option to disable it. A short first step on the stairway inside contributed to my brother falling on the umbrella stand. Luckily, he wasn't injured too badly. The "creek" that's advertised was a stagnant pond. I don't recall the specific wording of the ad. Again, this isn't a big deal, but my brother felt misled and asked me to mention it in my review. He also complained about no place to hang clothes in the upstairs bedrooms. I think the checkout time of 10 AM is way too early for people on a holiday or vacation. I had to go to bed early on our last night so I'd have time to sleep enough and get ready to leave in the AM. Noon would be far more convenient to all of your guests. I will be looking at checkout times in my future VRBO rentals and consider whether that's a deal-breaker. We did have cel service and a decent internet via the Wi-Fi, even though we were warned that might be spotty.
