There is a reason why the reviews on this rental are so high...it is the thoughtfulness of the owner! We were so excited to return to this refuge after a long day of exploring the area. We were amazed at all the little things (and big things) done to make our stay incredibly pleasant. And it's location right between San Antonio and Austin was perfect! Lots to see in the Hill Country, too.

We visited San Antonio to attend a conference, and it was also an opportunity to connect with family and dear friends who live in Texas. The layout of the house was perfect for us. We loved the large master suite. The king bed was quite comfortable. Well-stocked kitchen, clean home, ample games and puzzles, clear communication - these were all things we appreciated about this home and the hosts.
