Tom is an excellent host and very easy to deal with. There was good communication before our visit and the directions for finding the property were clear and easy to follow. He messaged us several times at the start of our stay to be sure that things were going OK in the house. The beds were comfortable and bathrooms clean. It is really nice to have the half bath downstairs in addition to the en-suite in the downstairs bedroom and the second full bath upstairs.We were in the area for a family reunion so it was nice to have a place big enough that several family members could share. The kitchen was well equipped and we enjoyed cooking meals. My nephew enjoyed the kayak on the pond and the fishing rods. The grounds were well maintained and we enjoyed the deck in the back. An additional bonus for us was watching the exotic animals across the road.I would definitely recommend this VRBO rental.

If you are looking for a relaxing experience without the hustle or the noise of city life, this is for you. The host was amazing. The back porch was a wonderful place to have coffee. This ranks in my list of 3 to return to. Bedding was awesome and we are retired with back issues. The bathrooms were very nice and very well stocked. As I love to cook the kitchen is very well stocked with utensils and other supplies that were much appreciated as we ended up having my granddaughter and her 2 babies with us. Beautiful location with the pond made some pictures with the babies.

Peaceful country setting with beautiful pecan trees and nature sounds instead of traffic, horns etc.Home away from home, kitchen cookware, dishes, utensils were like new. Nice to have a fridge with an ice maker, beds were very comfortable. Liked that the owner was very welcoming, responsive and accommodating. The grand kids loved fishing with their grandpa while there. Close enough to Brenham if you need an ice cream fix along with a tour at the Blue Bell Creamery. We will stay there again when in the area.

This priperty was amazing! Our dogs were so happy here, and it was a great family place. Kids loved the kayak and fishing. My mom who is elderly and has some mobility issues loved the wrap around porch and sat outside most of the day. Kitchen was well stocked and i nhoyed cooking in the space and all 6 of us enjoyed meals at the dining table. Beds were comfortable (the master is very tall but mom just needed a boost up) and we all loved the prace and quiet! Would definitely stay here again and again!

As other reviews have said, this is a wonderful home in the country. Clean, comfortably and wonderfully furnished, well stocked, peaceful, yet close to Sealy, Bellville, and Katy. I enjoyed fishing the pond daily (catch and release). We loved all the birds singing songs. We enjoyed a trip to shop Bellville. Church, brunch, and even a local festival. Friday night took us into Katy for a formal dinner, then some live music at Wildcatter Saloon. Quiet, private, yet close by. Tom (host) is very welcoming and ensured we had no issues needing attention. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return soon.

Was looking to get out of the city for my birthday and found this gem! Property is well maintained and private. Spent 99% of our time out on the deck or in the hot tub. We were able to relax and do nothing but listen to the birds, breathe fresh air and watch the butterflies. Tom was a great host with excellent communication. Oh, we did not want to leave!!! Would return in a heartbeat. Thanks again!

Peaceful Getaway in Nature

This place was exactly what we were looking for. Quiet, peaceful, with plenty of nature around. We enjoyed taking long walks around the property with the dogs, building a fire, hot tub, and dinner on the patio during sunset! We also visited a local blacksmith and made really cool knives and did “tomahawk throwing.” 10/10 would stay again

Took my aging MIL to this quiet getaway for some peace and quiet, and relaxing family time. Did a lot of porch sitting! Very comfortable house, everything we needed. Never even left the property! The grounds alone were a beautiful view.

Peaceful and Relaxing

Great house for relaxing, either in the house or in the hot tub. And my son loves fishing everyday!! House was clean and nicely decorated. Beside fishing there was other games and plenty to explore outside. The hot tub was wonderful to relax in at night. The beds were very comfy! Highly recommend!
