This charming older home was perfect for us and our dogs. The proximity to the town square (and Rico's for breakfast tacos!) made for a lovely walkable neighborhood feel. We love Mason, and enjoyed this house. Likely to book again.

The house is a quick walk to the square and in a really quiet neighborhood. My friends and I were comfortable and enjoyed our stay. Shanlyn was extremely responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. Perfect place in Mason to rest up before fishing the South Llano or bouncing around the cities nearby.

Unique old home with excellent retro remodel. Low hanging staircase so watch your noggin. Some stairs to climb.. might be a challenge for some. Overall, a relaxing place to stay.. close to downtown Mason. Very responsive host. I would definitely stay here again.

Thank you Justin for staying at our house. Yes, the thank you for committing on the stairs. The low hanging staircase inside the house has signs so you will not hit your noggin. :-) Hopefully that helps our guest! The house was built in the early 1900's, so therefore you will see some unique features in this house that you will not see in others.
