The property is old, things were not well taken care of, and the there was persistent being from the closed off part of the house that made it hard to sleep.The main house was said to be for seven or more people, however it has three small beds and a pull out couch in the living room. The living room didn’t have blinds or bedding for that bed. It can at most fit 3 people comfortably. The best part was the pool.

Wine Country Thanksgiving
Great location for wineries around Johnson City and Fredericksburg. The accommodations were very roomy for an extended family trip. The house is dated but very clean! The pool was nice but not of use to us in Nov and outside lighting lit up the grounds at the back of the house.

Very pleasant
The main house was very clean and well stocked. The back room with the large fan stays very warm even with the fan on so it is was a hard sleep for me personally. Pool was clean, lots of places to sit outside. House is right off the highway and less than 10 mins from Johnson City.

Annual Camp drop off
The property was beautiful and peaceful. Jeff and Alexis were amazing. We had a large group and they were extremely helpful with making sure our stay was completely peaceful and comfortable. The grandkids loved the pool and outdoors that they wanted to stay instead of going to camp in Harper, Texas. The property was a short drive to Harper. Thank you Jeff and Alexis, we look forward to staying there next year.

outstanding overall location, and facilities !
Rode up with our church group from Tomball for the Fandango vintage motorcycle event. The property was easy to find, a fantastic location, very clean, with more than enough space to park a couple of bikes and a trike. The bedrooms were comfortable, isolated and quiet. Loved the pool and the grill! Yeah, we are coming back!

Family time
This is the second time we booked this place for a New Year’s Eve weekend. We did a late Christmas plus new years with our out of town family and had a great time. The putter houses were great because if grandma & grandpa wanted to sleep but the 18year olds wanted to stay up there was enough space not to wake anyone.

Warning: be very specific as to what part of the property you want to rent. You can rent any part(s) of 3 areas: the Main House, north half of bunkhouse, and south half of bunkhouse. I thought I had rented the main house and entire bunkhouse, but the default is one half of the bunkhouse. Fortunately the other parts of the property were still available when I discovered my error and our host was graciously able to revise the rental to include the whole place at a bit of a discount.Pros:- Location: excellent, near everything - Solitude and scenery: so nice to watch the morning clouds and the birds from the back patio - Pool: beautiful and so private, surrounded by luscious Zoysia grass- Lots of room to spread out in the house, dining table could accommodate 10 guests- Well provisioned kitchen- Good communication with ownerCons:- Low water pressure and lukewarm water in the bunkhouse- Low pressure at 1 main house sink and shower- Unable to adjust main house thermostat, contacted owner who lowered it remotely using an app- Main house and bunkhouse bedrooms were hot, so used fans that were provided- Not very clean but then again, no cleaning fee is charged - No way to turn off outdoor security light that shines into 1 bedroom Summary: The rooms are hot, some plumbing problems make showers difficult, and no housecleaning by host. However this property is in an excellent location, can accommodate a large group, and has an absolutely beautiful pool area!!

Family Getaway
We enjoyed the house and the annex being separate so that we as more than one family coming together still had our separate space to go to for quiet time when needed. We thought that the pool was great! Everyone who swam enjoyed it and those who didn't swim enjoyed looking on from rooms and the deck. We also loved the big table. We were a group of 13 and we were able to get the majority of our group could sit together. When we weren't eating we used the table for jigsaw puzzles and games. The location for kid friendly and family adventures was so nice. We enjoyed the Reptile zoo, drive home for a rest and lunch and then we went back to the Science Mill. Both places were great for our group. Thank you for a beautiful little place to stay with convince to fun outings and restaurants.
