We had a wonderful stay over our Christmas break! The home was clean, kitchen well stocked and check in/ check out process was a breeze. Host was very responsive and accommodating. They had a beautiful Christmas tree set up for us which was so appreciated since we were coming in from out of town with our young children. The kids spent so much time outdoors playing on the basketball court, ping pong and foosball table. Plenty of outdoor space to roam. There are quite a few unleashed large dogs in the area so make sure to keep the gate to the property closed during your stay. Thanks again for the memories!

Fantastic!!

The property was beautifully maintained, comfortable, and included all the little extra touches that made our stay the perfect place to come "home" to and relax! The fencing was well built and gave me the confidence to be able to let our agility dogs off leash. It was the perfect place for our stay!

Second time just as good

This was the second time that we stayed at this property while visiting family in the area. The house was very clean and well stocked for both stays. The host, Michael, is a great communicator and very easy to interact with. The location is convenient for us and the fenced yard is great for the kids to play in. I would recommend this property if you are looking for a rental in this area.

Beautiful Home

We loved absolutely everything about Michael’s home. The checkin process was smooth. The house was super toddler friendly. They had a crib , diapers, wipes and pretty much everything we needed. The kitchen was extremely well equipped, we cooked a lot of meals and were very happy to find all the utensils we would need. The house has a great front porch and a huge backyard. The dogs had a great time in the yard. We also spotted some deer. The location was super convenient. It was located close to Canyon Lake and some Wineries which we enjoyed. Would totally boon this property again :)

Weekend Retreat for Wedding

This was a perfect place to stay for my family our dogs to stay for my niece's out of town wedding. The space the cleanliness and the responsiveness were top tier with all the accommodations you could possibly need. Probably the biggest highlight for us was the fenced in property for the safety of our dogs, that allowed them the best time on vacation - they never stopped smiling! :) I would absolutely stay again when in the area.
