Very nice and accommodating BnB inside and out. Close to the river that we went for. Easy check in. Host messaged be back quickly about questions that i had. We brought an extra comforter because someone said the bed was uncomfortable and we slept just fine. Will definitely rent again next time we go to the river!

Weekend in Staples

The house was quaint and very clean. No queen size bed, though. Nice place to sit in the back but the lights on the neighboring building ruined our star gazing.

Thank you for your review. The description lists a full size sofa bed, not a queen. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

This was a 4.9 star stay. We will stay here again. It is unique in its decor and history. - with the exception of drive through traffic, which was rare it was quiet. Everything u need is there to include extras. I’m he twin bed is a Trendle twin bed. The mattresses were comfortable on the twin, but not the pull out Full size sofa, bed. The sofa bed mattress was about an inch thick, and really could rocks not used at all. This was the only downside to the entire stay. If the mattresses were addressed, or even the size of the mattress addressed for a married couple. That would make a humongous difference. But we really truly enjoyed our stay the hostess. Fantastic place was fantastic. No real complaints.

Norman Rockwell Weekend!

My husband and I traveled with my 82 year old Dad to visit his sister. This property is most unique! If you want the opposite of cookie-cutter.. this is the place. The unit sits in the center of Staples, TX, across from a shady park. The town consists of about 3 blocks and sits right on the river. The rental was everything described, except no hot tub (probably an error in the listing). The inside is very comfortable and clean. It had every detail you could ask for.. even snacks provided. The backyard is a dream. Great big fire pit with lots of comfy chairs. Firewood provided. A corn hole set was awaiting for us too. Beautiful evening under the stars. The owner was easy and friendly to work with. Any time I texted she responded right away. The price was reasonable and the experience of staying in 100-year-old service station was memorable. I hope to be back again someday!

I am happy you enjoyed your stay, and were able to make some great memories with your father. The listing of a hot tub was an eeror, thank you for bringing that to my attention. I look forward to hosting you again !

I’m all for reviews and honesty. I’ll try and keep it simple….. ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!!!! The minute me and my family walked in I got goosebumps of how happy literally to my bones I was. The smile on my husband and daughter’s face was breathtaking. Paula was so kind and fast responding back. The place was so unbelievably pristine I mean like just remodel kind of nice but wasn’t that’s just how nice the decor and furniture and set up was. My daughter just kept saying I feel like I’m home mommy. We 100 percent will be staying here again as long as it’s available.
