This modern two-bedroom is well-lit and has several cozy places to hang. The combined big front room features a living and dining room with 9' ranch-style table. There are two bedrooms- one with a comfy organic queen canopy bed, the other with a Japanese organic wool cot (this is an incredibly firm twin bed, FYI). Both bedrooms feature a full bathroom per.
The house has a sunbathed front living and dining room, and a modest kitchen nook in the original kitchen. There are a few different work spots with the fastest wifi in town, should you be coming to write that novel or Zoom into work. There is a nice collection of artwork in the house that mainly features Texas artists! Featuring a Philips Hue lighting system to set the tone.
There is lore the house was built by a mean cowboy. It is 100 years old, recently updated with HVAC, and nicely appointed with modern touches while retaining its original character. The Rancher features a xeriscaped, native-planted yard with spots to sun soak during the day; offers a wide-lens view of the Milky Way + dark skies at night.

Stayed for a few days for work and it was such a delightful experience. The home was cozy and well-maintained, with a great location close to everything but still peaceful and quiet. The pool was perfect, and the host was incredibly helpful. Can’t wait to come back!

Cute little house, but strange decore. The back bedroom bed was very uncomfortable. My friend had to sleep on the couch the second night. We were looking forward to the hot tub that was listed, a galvanized watering tank doesnt count!
