Great Location

The house was big enough for everyone to spread out and have their own space, but cozy enough to come together and watch movies, or play games. The house was in a prime location for all the winery’s in the area.

Augusta house

The house was well taken care of and clean.There was plenty of space indoors and out. The grounds were well maintained and helped create a very enjoyable property and stay.The only issue was an alarm that began chirping but a text with the host prompted a quick response from the owners and it was resolved in minutes.Our busy trip was made more relaxing with this property that felt like home.

Great property; responsive owners

The Elegant Escape is one of only a few large vacation homes in Augusta that can comfortably accommodate sleeping for 10 people. It’s very well-equipped, nicely kept, and the owners are highly responsive in the event of an issue. Our family really enjoyed the house and the space when they came to visit us for a Holiday event.

The house plenty of space for a group of 8-10 and great location relative to the Katy trail, although there is a bit of hill to climb to get to the house from the trail.

Nice home but could use a good cleaning

This home is very nice, spacious and close to the wineries in Augusta. It just needs a good cleaning. One of my friends had blood on the inside of their bedroom door and ended up wiping down all the cabinets in the kitchen because they were dirty. Otherwise, nice place.

VERY NICE PROPERTY

Some little maintenance details were overlooked such as porch lights burned out, toilet tank handles loose, and a master bathroom door handle very loose. Also, several guests commented on the very cheap shower heads - the very lowest quality Home Depot type of heads. These were all issues that kept me from giving a 5-star rating - but otherwise they are great properties, and worthy of 5 starts when all is right! Tom

Our Visit to Augusta Reserve

The home was very nice and worked for four couples. It is a great get away from everyone place. I was concerned about the arrangement of furniture in the downstairs bedrooms. The egress/escape window in both rooms had a large bed with headboard in front of them. One bedroom the problem was more significant as it was completely covering window. I know my husband and I would have had a difficult time moving the bed to get out. I think the furniture should be rearanged for safety purposes. The light in the staircase and lights down stairs did flicker several times which made we wonder a bit about the wiring. Overall it met our needs. Thank you!

Great Property and Stay

Used the house as a home base for our daughter's wedding at a nearby venue. Plenty of space for everyone - much larger than it looks in the pictures. The outdoor space in back was nice to have and we we sat out there almost every night - the area is shaded by the house starting at about 4pm (in June). Overall we had a great stay and really appreciate the support of the property manager. Highly recommended if you are looking to stay in this area.

Ladies Weekend

Beautiful property with plenty of rooms and space for our group. Location is prime, but most important, Lauren was amazing to work with. We had to reschedule from October and she gave us several options and provided top notch customer service. Quick to respond via text on a stupid question I had. Very easy communication. Would always rent this house or the other additional property.
