Spotless and Exquisite Linens

The property was spotless and immaculate. We slept well in the soft, fragrant linens. The host went above and beyond with bath extras and fluffy towels.The patio was nice on a cool evening. The locked gates gave us an extra sense of security and the carport could have fit three medium cars. Very close to our comedy show venue and the Riverwalk. We'd come again.

New Years Eve Celebration

The home was definitely a show home. The attention to details was so impressive. The beds slept good. We brought our dog and the house was dog friendly, equipped with water/food bowls, dog beds and toys for the dog. Just to let you know the back bedrooms do not have window dressings but when looking towards the house from outside, the windows have a mirror effect so you only see your reflection. You gotta try the hot tub, Good location to downtown. Perfect for our mini trip, Host was quick to respond.
