Perfect get together house

The Road Runner Lodge was perfect for a getaway. The property was exactly as listed and the management team was super responsive. It has plenty of space for a large group of adults or family and flexible sleeping arrangements. The pool and outdoor area were perfect for relaxing outside.

This house was exactly what we were wanting: close to different hiking trails, easy access to the lake, not right next to neighbors, but close to a grocery store, open land, and a pool. Our only "complaint" was not being notified about the pool guy and yard people coming. We were there for a week, so totally reasonable for people to come and service the property, but we weren't given any heads up so it was a little startling to both us and our animals to wake up to random people walking around outside. A quick line in the check-in instructions would be super useful for any future guests. Otherwise, it was a great place to stay.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are so glad the location checked every box for your stay, from the hiking trails and lake access to the pool and open surroundings. That is exactly the kind of experience we love hearing about! Regarding the pool and yard services, we completely understand how startling that can be, especially with animals. We do our best to give our guests a heads up whenever possible, however our pool company schedules their visits based on their own availability which can vary day to day. We do mention in our guest guide that regular property services occur during stays and unfortunately cannot always be rescheduled. We hope to welcome you and your furry family members back again soon!

House is very old and creeky. 80 percent of the dishes that i tried to use out of the cabinets were dirty
Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 13 March 2026
Thank you for your feedback! We are glad you enjoyed the unique 'charm' of our home. While the character of a historic property often includes those classic 'creaky' floors, our cleanliness standards are strictly modern. We are truly disappointed to hear about the dishes; we pride ourselves on a thorough, professional cleaning between every guest, and what you described is certainly not our standard. We always encourage our guests to reach out to our 24/7 team during their stay. We would have loved the opportunity to send someone over immediately to make that right for you. We have already followed up with our housekeeping team to ensure our kitchen inspections remain Above The Rest. We appreciate you staying with us and hope to provide you with a flawless experience in the future!

Texas Rustic Chic!

LOVE this property! We spent the weekend at Road Runner Lodge and enjoyed every minute of it! The house and land is so perfectly Texas! There are so many things to do, from swimming to volleyball/badminton to disc golf to ping pong! The house is spacious and the layout is perfect for big parties. There were 8 adults and plenty of room. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to stay in and cook or bring food back and eat. Cannot say enough about this property and the property managers! They are very responsive! Book this place!!

Work Conference

Plenty of space for 8 adults. Lots of pool towels and blankets which was appreciated. The home itself is older but looks to be renovated. The kitchen was well stocked, but the flooring and countertops need some TLC. A side note about the stairs: a couple of my co-workers had trouble using them bc they are steep and the handrailing is slick. Overall, the stay was fine.
