Wonderful place to view the eclipse!
What a great property, and what a communicative host! There was plenty of coffee, amenities, a great laundry room, and plenty of space for everyone! The kids played in the pool all day, the adults watched birds from the gazebo in the morning, we all went to see the neighboring donkeys and horses and enjoyed the abundant blooming flowers.
The biggest reason for the 4 stars is the rules about cooling the home. Now I know this is Texas and being from the Midwest we're not as used to the heat, but the rules about maintaining the temperature at 70°F seemed a bit high, especially since we stayed at a subsequent property in San Antonio that had no such rule and the house was cooler. Now, I know there are property differences, etc.. But the temperature rules made it very uncomfortable to sleep at nights, even following the recommendations to keep the house cool, which was only exacerbated by the rule that we couldn't open the windows. Running the ceiling fans, and drawing the blinds during the day, simply did not cut it. I wonder if a few additional window units in a couple of the bedrooms would help keep everything cooler while taking some of the burden off the main AC unit.
Overall, though, great property, beautiful location, beautiful drive to get there, and very close to stores and services. We stayed with a group of 9 adults and 4 children, and with access to the bunkhouse, we had room for everyone and everything we needed. Thank you!
