Super Chill Property

We hunt annually in the area and this was the perfect property for our group. Lots of space inside and out, deer crossing in the back and the most beautiful sunrise coming through the back windows. We are looking forward to next year!

Home away from Home

If you are looking for some peace and quiet away from the city this is the place to be. Close enough to restaurants and market and wineries. The nights were great with a dip in 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.

Girls Weekend

We had a lovely time and the property is gorgeous. It was a girls weekend in the Texas wine country. We stayed in the main house. There was plenty of room for 6 ladies and space to get ready. Lots of extra amenities on the property. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a dinner. I would stay here again.

Could Use a Little Safety Upgrade

First let me say that the place was immaculate and the pool was fantastic. Our group of nine family members (3 generations) had a great two nights and all slept very well. That said, we do have a few comments. First, the house is definetly not new with a lot of uneven floors, steps without hand rails and slippery bath tubs with no handholds. Second, the website could use a major rewrite with better corrected information and instructions. For the price, it surely was not glamorous and we had to pay over 200 for three little dogs. Not to mention the construction going on on two sides of the plot the VRBO was on. Are they building a winery and removing all the dead oak wilt trees? I guess it might end up being OK if that is what they are doing but if not, I'm not sure I would recommend Alexander's Inn especially if you are a senior citizen. Otherwise, enjoy the pool!
This a a Photo of the pool. Note what looks like a hand rail on the steps from the deck which are now missing. All those beautiful oak trees died of oak wilt and are being dug out.

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.

Nice family get away

After having some initial problems getting the auto locks to work, check-in was smooth. We stayed over a Saturday night and could hear the live band playing next door until about 11. A little too loud for those of us early tobedpeople. Overall though it was a good stay and everyone enjoyed it

Weekend away

Great little property! There was 13 of us and it was the perfect size. It is the country so you have to keep that in mind for some little things. The owners were very responsive before hand and during our stay!! Loved the little place right next to it (wasn't a winery, which is half of what I loved after spending time at wineries, but had cider) but was walking distance and had live music and great atmosphere! Would totally recommend this place
