Hunting & couple getaway

My husband and I enjoyed our stay. He was hunting in an area about 10 min away. It was he getaway we both needed. Very clean and it was nice that it had all the kitchen stuff that I needed to cook.

Perfect place to unwind

Lots of personal touches makes it feel like your home away from home as soon as you walk in. The home and property is perfect to relax and unwind. It's secluded enough to enjoy the peace and quiet but not too far away from town. Any and all questions I had were answered quickly and the host(s) thought of everything! There was no reason whatsoever to leave if you didn’t want to. The best part was sitting on the deck in the morning enjoying coffee while the cows strolled up to have breakfast. My dog also loved the cows and it was so nice to find such a lovely place to travel to with my dog and not be charged extra fees. I highly recommend this home and hope to return someday for a much longer stay as we were only able to enjoy a long weekend.

Another Great Stay

This was our third or fourth girls’ weekend at this property and it never disappoints. Everything is clean, well stocked, and convenient. We were pleasantly surprised with the new ramp going to the side door. It made loading and unloading the cars so much easier. We spent most of our time outside enjoying the deck. We did venture out to the Twisted Vine Winery this time which is just a few miles away. We had a tasting and purchased a few bottles to take back to sip on the deck. I ran into a snag when my tire caught a small rock. Stapleton Towing came out to put on a donut so that I could stop for a tire on the way home. They gave us fast and friendly service and I didn’t even have to put down my glass of wine! 😂

About the host

Hosted by Nicole Massie

My husband and I are Ohio natives, turned Texas residents, but travel fulltime in our RV. As a "retired" teacher, I homeschool our 2 children and teach/coach others about wellness. My husband is a lineman. We love meeting new people and seeing new places. We have a dream to continue to expand our R&R retreat locations!

Why they chose this property

Enjoy some R&R whether for a weekend or a while. Great for couples, families/friends, hunters, traveling workers, etc. Inside is a relaxing environment where you can just breathe & runaway for a bit. You can expect a clean & cozy space you'll never want to leave! We are close enough to town to quickly grab groceries or food, but no neighbors in sight!

🐾WELL BEHAVED dogs stay free!🐾

👫Kids stay free too! I will REIMBURSE for kids under 12 after booking.

‼️Ask about weekly/monthly discounts!.
