Peaceful Family Getaway

Absolutely beautiful piece of property with a wonderful home. The only issues we had with our trip was that it was extremely hot and the AC did not cool very fast since it is such a large house. It is a very quiet and nice place to get away from town. We enjoyed our stay!

Lovely place in the country. Thoroughly enjoyed just sitting on the porch, listening to the rain fall and watching the birds eat (including hummingbirds). The view from the back porch is fantastic!

Team Building Trip

Property was very pretty, house was nice and spacious enough for group bonding and building. Overall a good rental, bathroom situation was not fully ideal for a group with teenage boys and girls but was easy to monitor and make use of. Curiosities were also peaked when lights in parts of the house were turned on after the group went to the river and returning to settle in for the night.

Perfect family gathering place

This house impressed us from the moment we walked through the door. Large windows with gorgeous views. Nicely appointed with comfortable furniture. Very spacious with large kitchen, living room and back porch. The kitchen had every possible gadget you could want. The hosts provided high quality toiletries, including Doterra products infused essential oils. essential oifor baby

Great views!

This property has great views, and is a beautiful property. The only downfall is the bathroom situation. It’s a little awkward only having one bathroom in between 2 bedrooms and the only other shower being in the laundry room. It would have been nice to have a Master Bathroom on the other side of the house that was accessible. Other than that, the host is very accommodating and friendly, and we had a great time!

Spring Break

This property was as advertised, which is not always the case. We stayed one night, to clean up after primitive camping over Spring Break. Hot water and towels were plentiful. The property was clean and contained plenty of beds for our group of seven. A large dining table accommodated a hot game of Risk. The view from the back porch is panoramic and relaxing. I have no problem recommending the property.

About the host

Hosted by Tina Watson

Host profile image
My greatest enjoyment comes from time spent with family in comfortable and beautiful settings both indoors and outdoors. When setting up my vacation rentals for guests that is exactly what I want to share with them!

Why they chose this property

This location at the edge of Hill Country TX has gorgeous expansive views with huge windows and a great covered patio. The location is very private and yet also just 10 min drive to Dinosaur Valley State Park and 15 min to the Historic Granbury Square!

What makes this property unique

This house can sleep up to 14 adults and 2 infants...there are 3 private bedrooms and a few common area sleeping spots for younger guests. It is the perfect home for extended family gatherings. The huge outdoor areas give everyone a chance to play a game on the lawn, ride kid bikes on the driveway or take a family walk on our private road. 3 bathrooms let everyone spread out at clean up time..and a large kitchen and indoor and outdoor dining spaces for family meals!
