More than enough space for our whole group. Gorgeous place had everything we needed, baby supplies, dog supplies, entertainment to keep teens occupied. Joetta was so attentive, very quick to respond, and accommodating. Very great experience!!
Attention to details made our stay here comfortable and welcoming! We loved the game room in the garage and the cozy living area. Kitchen is large and had everything we needed- worked out great for mom’s birthday party. Thanks to our hosts for their informative guidebook and open communication!
Absolutely beautiful home with amazing views and outdoor living. The home has anything you will need for cooking and comforts. My family enjoyed us all being together for my son's graduation from TSU. The house was very clean and well taken care off. We enjoyed every minute. Communication with our host was also great! We highly recommend this property.
The host did a great job at proving small things to allow for successful trip - dog bed, dog bowls, small treats. Also had enough necessities - trash bags, detergent, cooking oil and spray, etc. Was a wonderful time to focus on friends and family in a beautiful home.
We needed a place to host our large family Christmas while undergoing renovations. This amazing home and host was even better than the detailed listing. First the location felt like a remote hill country location but was 6 minutes from a small town with grocery store and restaurants and only 20 minutes from nearby Gruene. The hosts had also thought of everything down to fresh Christmas decor and dog toys/treats. The back yard and covered porch made for great hangouts and late night fire pit conversations. The large game room was full of activities and the kitchen was just the right size. Plenty of parking and open communication from the host though they had thought of everything so we only communicated for check in and out. We were there for a specific purpose but the river was close by and so much around to enjoy. Perfect stay.
Nice property for kids with a tree fort, and dogs with a fenced yard. Great game selections like ping pong,foosball and darts. Big TVs and comfortable furniture. We were short some paper goods, but the stores are close enough for feeling like being in the country. Great stay overall.
Beautiful home that was perfect for our family group of 12. Very clean and had all of the space and amenities that we needed! Host was very responsive and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Will stay here again!
Can’t wait to return!! Fathers Day weekend getaway with 7 adults and 3 teenage boys. House was tucked away on hill and great privacy. House location between Canyon Lake and Guadalupe River. We took our boat and had a lake day and a river day. Plenty Parking at the house and has a spot for your boat back in. We tried to enjoy the backyard and back porch as much as we could with the heat. One morning we were visited by Fox and another morning a mama deer and her fawn. Beds are super comfy, and bedding is premium. Ping pong table was a hit. Joetta was a perfect host, and honestly one of the sweetest and most attentive VRBO owners I’ve ever communicated with.
