We’re sorry to hear there were issues during your stay. Our team was prepared to send a vendor to address the shower concern, but we understand your guests were able to resolve it before we could dispatch a plumber. Following your departure, the thermostat was inspected and found to be working properly. We do appreciate your comments and will continue to ensure all systems are operating at their best for future guests.

Spacious property

Spacious property, beautiful views of the lake. The lake access leaves a lot to be desired. The older members of our family couldn't safely make it to the waters edge. One member went onto the hillside behind the house to retrieve a ball and got a little poison ivy rash on his arm. I had looked forward to the lake access so this was a disappointment but the deck and the rest of the house was lovely.

Spacious

For anyone looking for enough room to fit everyone, this is your place. The master alone can hold a whole family. The split house is perfect to have kids hanging out in one end and adults in the other with a spacious area to meet in the middle. The views from the large deck are captivating. The house comes well stocked with items you need (trash bags, toilet paper, etc). The garage has a ping table that entertained the kids. We did not use the lake access as it was freezing cold but I will warn you that it’s a hike back up. But definitely go enjoy that area.

Lovely Time

We loved the house and had so much fun cooking and spending time there, but it would've been so lovely to have the play area in the main living room facing the lake because the garage was extra HOT. We could not use it because it was extremely hot. There was also no hot water in the second bathroom, so we had to shower with cold water, and we, the guests that slept in the room at the end of the hallway on the left side of the house, got bitten by bed ticks :( Other than that, it was great. Thank you for all your help making the reservation.

Great location, house outdated, many issues:

Issues: Very dirty place, many bugs, Heat doesn't work properly super HOT in the second floor, super cold in the first floor. Nasty dirty kitchen, completely disorganized, dirty oven, dirty cabinets, lots of spider webs and dead bugs. No exhaust in the first floor bathroom, toilet clogs, house smells, feels dirty overall. Not a great experience.

We will admit, sometimes we are confused by a review. The guest reached out 6 hours after departure to notify us of cleaning issues, after they used the kitchen, the oven, etc. We wish we could attach pictures of our clean to reviews, so readers could decide for themselves. The guest never reached out about the HVAC unit during his stay, but we conducted a troubleshoot and everything works great. We don't advertise an exhaust in a bathroom and included in his private message to us was that he was disgruntled about the fireplace not being available and the garage. We do not advertise those amenities but we have other rentals that do!

Although the house was large and spacious, the A/C was not Adequate to keep the bedrooms cool. It was like a sauna during the day. The bathroom shower has the hot and cold switched, and the house is in need of some maintenance and upkeep. The exterior has cobwebs and bug nest everywhere. In addition, it needs to be stocked properly. No dish towels for the kitchen - had to go buy some, and limited D/W soap and trash bags.

This house was huge! Lot's of space for large families. Comfortable beds and plenty of room for the 10 of us. The back deck was amazing and the view was breathtaking! Some downsides.... The refrigerator did not get very cold, cold enough to keep the food from going bad, but drinks and milk were not cold enough. It was also not big enough to accommodate a lot of people, so I recommend you bring some ice chests to keep your cold drinks in. We were very disappointed in the lake access, and the shoreline. The trek down is not for older guests or ones with limited mobility as it was pretty steep and had unstable footing. The shore line was nothing but big rocks, no where to set chairs or a canopy, not to mention trying to haul all that stuff down there. We brought Kayaks, and it was very difficult to get them down to the water. Worse part....coming back up! We only made that trip once. We were So looking forward to just sitting at the shore line, swimming, floating and kayaking and having lunch. A couple suggestions for the owners: The Master suite bathroom should have a door that closes and the shower doors should be frosted. We had 2 couples staying in this room. There were no table lamps in the master suite which would have been more suitable. I would suggest in these very hot Texas summers, for the Hosts to set the thermostat quite a bit lower upon guest arrival,especially since check in is not until 4:00 pm which is part of the hottest part of the day. It was so hot inside and it took several hours to cool off the bedrooms, as they are all upstairs.

Very disappointed

Make sure you read all the reviews and book accordingly. I really wanted to like this place and it has a lot of potential to be a great place to stay. Unfortunately it is not worth the money they are charging. We went during the week and received a discounted rate. If I had paid the normal rate for this house I would have been extremely upset. Let me start with the good points. The house it located on the lake and has lake access. It is a long stairway down but not too bad unless you are elderly or handicapped in some way. The house is very big with plenty of space. Kitchen is large with lots of counter space and cabinets. Large deck has an amazing view of the lake which is the best feature of the house. Plenty of parking. The bads are plentiful. First and foremost is the absolute inhospitable temperatures in the 3 bedrooms over the garage. For the first two days the temps were pushing 90 degrees. It was unloveable and no one could sleep up there or even stand to be up there for more than a view minutes to change or use the bathroom. There is nothing wrong with the ac. As they sent a technician out and he checked everything. He said this ac needs to be ran for at least two days to get it down to a cool temp from where it was when we arrived. There are no blackout curtains or solar screens on the windows which would help immensely. Also every time we left the house the thermostat would somehow be changed to 78 so any cooling we received before then was lost and had to start over. No one was able to sleep in those rooms until the third night and even then the temps were still in the upper 70s. If this is not addressed I do not recommend staying here in the summer. As half the house is not useable. As I said before the house is very large but the space is not laid out well at all. The 3 bedrooms above the garage are small and have small beds. If you sleep 2 to a bed which would not be comfortable for 2 adults you could sleep 6 up there. It would be very tight and uncomfortable though. Nice sized 2nd full bath but unfortunately along with the unbearable heat. The shower did not work. The master is huge and there is a 2nd bed in there but who wants to share a master suite with another couple or kids??? The master could easily be made into 2 rooms and share the master bath with is also very large. All the furniture is well used and nothing really matches. A lot of it is beat up. The whole place needs to be updated. You can tell this is not a personally owned property as there is just no care to be seen. Everything is just ok. We've stayed in lots of air b and bs and this is by far the worst experience we have had. All it would take is someone just to care a little bit and this would be a great place. It just falls well short of the mark. If they do not fix the ac issue I would avoid this unit at all cost. It's just such a huge shortfall. Hopefully I'm able to get some kind of refund for only being able to use half the house.

Space

The house has lots of space but is not well maintained. The light fixtures are covered in spider webs and dust. The floors poorly cleaned. We could not go barefoot due to the grime on the floor and carpet. I would say has not had a good deep cleaning in some time. Most furnishings are well worn but are clean. The yard has not been mowed in a while. The side of the house has broken light fixtures piled up. The heat went out while we were there and we were cold for a day. The repair guy said he knew of the problem but had yet been given the go ahead to do the work. I was in hopes the Thanksgiving holiday would be nice for my children and grandkids. We have all been working hard to overcome grief this year. I heard my son whisper to my daughter in law “ this place is so sad and dirty”. My heart hurts to think that I didn’t provide them with a nice place for their first Thanksgiving without their father. I hope they use this review to deep clean, dust and clean the place up. The lake view is beautiful and peaceful. The fireplace is not functional but would have helped out when we didn’t have heat. The kitchen is stocked with plenty of dishes/cookware to cook Thanksgiving dinner. The deer in the yard are wonderful. WiFi is not reliable so don’t expect to work online while there. Thank goodness I had no work plans which is unusual for me.

We really appreciate your feedback and recommendations. Those familiar with the hill country know that spiders can weave a web inside of a day, so we address those routinely. Insects are a part of everyday living in these parts but if anything seems amiss, we encourage guests to give us a call or send us a text, and we'd be glad to assist. We always appreciate the opportunity to rectify a situation, so guests can be comfortable and satisfied. We were happy to dispatch a tech to assess the heating situation, and luckily was able to get it up and running for guests, but unfortunately, did not receive any reports about cleaning issues. Your willingness to share your experience will enable us to make the improvements and adjustments needed to provide a relaxing vacation for our guests and ensure our future success as hosts.
