Our group had a fantastic stay! We were in the area for a wedding and the house was perfect for 5 couples. Check in was a breeze and conditions were even better than the pictures! Host was very communicative and the checkout was not a hassle whatsoever.
I rented this place for my daughters’ birthday celebration, and it did not disappoint! The pool and spa was perfect, the distance from other structures good, it was nice and quiet, and the house itself was perfect! Great accommodations, a good kitchen for cooling meals for 10, a nice large table inside and out….and did I mention the awesome pool and spa? It was very comfortable! Thank you!
My family and I truly enjoy our stayed The kids had so much fun and love swimming and walking around the property. The ranch is beautiful and we all were able to relax and disconnect from the hectic city life. Christine the host was always available and answered all my questions.
This was a great house for hosting and celebrating my sister 40th birthday with family. Great rooms, AC working great. Nice kitchen and living area to eat and hangout. Loved the outside set up the pool and great games to play while enjoying the day with family. Super cute decor very country loved the cute boots in every room. I would totally do this house again! Host was a great communicator and very attentive to any questions or needs! Thank you Christina!
