Great stay

Enjoyed everything about this place. Loved the African decor and animals. Brought back memories. Room well equipped, we stayed in the tree house. Had an exciting last night with a storm. Loved that we had lots of washcloths. So many places skimp. Loved being able to use the hot tub the last night. No downside about the place. However not liking all the extra charges through Vrbo. Will only be using in the future for something special like this.

Excellent place

Just off dripping springs in a quiet little area. Just as described. The deck is fantastic place. Great for couples weekend away. The distillery across the road is a neat place for dinner and drinks. The bakery nearby is excellent.

Fantastic!

We came here for our 10th anniversary and serene is the best word I can think to describe it! So peaceful, and quiet. The customer service was impeccable, and we felt right at home. The animals were so fun to look at as we sat on the porch of the treehouse! Highly recommend this amazing getaway!
