We spent a long weekend visiting our favorite Texas town and only wish we’d found this rental sooner. The home is beautifully appointed and so very comfortable. The pool and outdoor space was a the icing on the cake. Our hosts have seriously thought of everything. Honestly, I think they must have stayed at a ton of short term rentals and made a list of the amenities they wished had been in them and then created the perfect experience. There’s plenty of furniture in the common areas, loads of towels, including for the pool, large closets with hangers, well stocked bathrooms, a large kitchen with all the appliances and utensils you could hope for, welcome snacks, and a comprehensive list of suggestions of places to explore in the area. The communication from the hosts was easy, warm, and just the right amount. We use VRBO quite a bit when we travel and have had some great experiences. This getaway hit all the notes we look for to make a stay great. ##### Julie R.

It was so well stocked with the absolutely unexpected. It was clean, tidy, and well organized. We needed nothing! All toiletries, dishware, small appliances, etc., were provided, we literally needed to bring nothing but food and ourselves for the stay! And the pool was amazing. There were floaties, pool toys, outside games, tabletop games, I could go on and on! The communication with the host was excellent. The outside was so tucked away and inviting, there were even deer right out front! I'd recommend this place to anyone and I'd go back in the future. Couple of tidbits of advice.....1. The pool is insanely deep so beware if you arent a decent swimmer, or cant float! And watch the kiddos. 2. If nature unnerves you, youd better stay inside, lol. Overall, beautiful place, Kelly and Kelly have provided an absolutely wonderful space away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Rent it, you won't regret your stay! ##### Sheila Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Stephanie M. Nov 11, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Surprisingly Disappointing Let me start by saying the hosts were hospitable & friendly & communicated througout our stay. There were only beds for 7 people, not 9. After night 1, I noticed the throw pillows on the bed were covered in dog hair. My husband began cleaning the entire house, the amount of dog hair swept up was excessive & disgusting, it filled the vaccum. Our clothes were covered in it when we sat on the furniture; we bought lent rollers and cleaned the couches, and ran it over all beds, sheets and pillows. All throw pillows in every room & throw blankets were completely covered in dog hair. There were handfuls of hair between beds & the wall. We went through 4 lent rollers to make the home more acceptable. The silverware drawers are full of dirt, the pot holders were disgusting with food caked on them. When we showered the first time & used the "clean towels" dog hair was all over us, so I re-washed everything. I pre-washed every dish used to prepare food. I chose this home bc they were highly rated. I absolutely would not stay here again and likely would not stay at another "pet friendly" listing because of this experience. If we had an alternative place to stay and didn't already pay an arm and leg to stay here, we definitely would have checked out and went elsewhere. ##### Stephanie M.
