Wonderful

Everything was comfortable and clean. The coffee maker didn't work and the wifi did not connect. We attempted to get resolution from the managing company but never heard back about either. These issues would not prevent me from staying here again or recommending this property to others. There was also an issue with the door lock that was addressed very quickly. The bathroom was great. It was roomy and had a nice walk in shower. The bed was very comfortable. We also really enjoyed the covered deck.

Hello Ken! Sorry to hear you had trouble with the Wifi and coffee maker. We did replace the coffee maker. Wifi in this rural area can be spotty so it is never guaranteed. Other than those minor issues we are so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay. It was a pleasure hosting you and we hope to have you back! - Thanks NBE
We absolutely loved the atmosphere and experience here!

We loved our stay at the yurt. The yurt was well maintained and clean, we saw deer at night and the location was excellent, you are close to town, but feel like you are out in the woods.

From the very start of the booking process to checking out everything was great. Communication with the management company was great and they were always available for any questions. The property was easy to locate and very clean. A great setup with plenty of privacy. Location was amazing. While it did provide privacy and a secluded experience it was also very close to town (only about a 7 minute drive). We will definitely be coming to stay again.

Reviewer Comments:
The management and the property itself were really great. We really enjoyed the Yurt and its proximity to Gruene was fantastic. The trains ran ALL NIGHT long and blasted their horns for 20-30 minutes at a time and were very hard to "block out" even with the supplied ear plugs. Its worth staying there but be wary if you are a light sleeper you wont be able to do to the trains.

Joseph, we apologize for the inconvenience with the AC. We got HVAC out as soon as we were notified. Unfortunately with the record breaking high temperatures even a proper functioning AC has trouble keeping up. We hope you will give us another chance in the future!

Reviewer Comments:
Check-in was super smooth, and the property felt peaceful and private. The yurts are nicely spaced out and a great size. We especially loved the cozy patio and getting to see wildlife right outside. It really felt like a hotel stay, just with more charm, more privacy, and way better views.I tend to get hot easily, but even with the heat and humidity, the yurt stayed cool and comfy the entire time, which was such a relief.We did see a few bugs that seem to get in through the overhead window, but way fewer than expected for being so close to nature.The only real downside was that some of the linens (pillow and sheets) and the indoor chair had very visible stains. The gray throw pillows also had a lot of fur on them, and something had dried on the toilet lid. I’m big on cleanliness when I travel, so that was a bit disappointing. That said, the bedding itself was comfortable.The remote for the patio lights wasn’t working, but we were able to just plug them in manually. One of the bathroom lights above the mirror was also out.If I had a few suggestions: • Double-check the bedding and seating between guests • Replace any burnt-out bulbs • Add another mirror (maybe above the bed or a small vanity-style one) so someone can get ready privately if the bathroom is in use • A few hangers and standard trash bags would be a nice touch tooOverall though, it was such a sweet, relaxing stay in a beautiful area. We’d absolutely come back again.

Aaron, Thank you so much for the thoughtful and detailed review. We're so happy to hear that your stay was peaceful, private, and relaxing — and that you enjoyed the charm of the yurt, the cozy patio, and even a bit of wildlife! It means a lot to us that it felt like a hotel stay with extra touches of nature, comfort, and privacy.
We also appreciate you taking the time to share your honest feedback about the linens, remote, and lighting. Cleanliness is incredibly important to us, and we’re very sorry for the oversight. We’ve shared your notes with our cleaning and maintenance teams to ensure these items are addressed right away. Your suggestions — especially the extra mirror, hangers, and vanity-style touches — are great ideas and have been passed along for consideration as we continue to improve the guest experience.
Thank you again for staying with us, and we’re so glad to hear you’d return. We’d love to welcome you back for another relaxing getaway soon! Thanks, NBE
