I think the only thing I would have changed was turning the AC on a few hours before the guest gets there. Every thing else was fun and nice.

Great family getaway

The house was perfect for entertaining the whole family. There are lots of living areas so everyone had plenty of room. The location provides easy I-35 access to San Marcos or New Braunfels. It was nice to relax and see some animals we don’t normally get to see.
