Hill country getaway!

We really enjoyed our stay! Megs home was perfect for our family. We loved the llamas and wildlife we encountered on the property. The beds were very comfortable and there wasn’t anything lacking as far as essentials go. We’d love to come out and stay again in the future!

Great place to relax and unwind!

We were visiting the Hill Country and to see the solar eclipse. The house was clean, beds comfy, and it made a great place for a home base. Had good communication with the host. We also liked being greeted by the llamas when we arrived! Would stay again!

Beautiful hill country getaway

This was the third time we’ve stayed at this wonderful spot. The location nestled in the hills is so lovely. Quiet, serene. A great place to relax. And the llamas are a great treat. The house is very comfortable. Nice kitchen. Comfortable bed. Kind of hard to leave!

Beautiful and peaceful

This was our second time staying at Meg’s property. The house itself is wonderful - spacious, clean, comfortable. And the property is lovely if you are a fan of the hill country. Lot’s of space and quiet. The llamas are an extra, special treat!

Llovely quiet and very relaxing

We brought 2 of our 5 year old granddaughters and had a wonderful time feeding the llamas is something they will remember for a life time. House was as described and pictured all the comforts of home. Meg was extremely helpful and we are hoping to return someday with other grandkids.

Big owners house in large lot of Texas Hill Country

A large house by the owners with many amenities on a large lot. The outside is a rural piece of Texas Hill Country. Bird watching, flowers and the three lamas belonging to the property are a relaxing peaceful environment.

Great location + sweet llamas

This small ranch has a beautiful view and is a perfect location to visit local state parks and still close enough to town to take advantage of those amenities as well. We loved seeing the llamas grazing and attempting to pet them. They would eat their food from a bucket we held, but shied away from touch. Meg always made sure we knew about approaching bad weather, but other than that just let us enjoy her wonderful home. Thanks, Meg!

Okay for a weekend

The house was clean and comfortable. The property was peaceful, and we saw many deer. I was personally uncomfortable with the uncovered windows in the bathroom, and it was obvious while we were out that someone had come to the home and left which was a little unnerving. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay. Also, just be aware that it takes a week for your deposit to be returned which was different from our previous experiences with VRBO. The owner was easy to work with and our needs were met.

Get away from it all!

If you're looking to get away from it all and be far away from the hustle and bustle of the city this is it! We loved the rural setting! The quiet sounds of nature and the llamas! The views were spectacular and the home was beautiful! We can't say enough good things about this property. We would definitely stay again and Meg was a pleasure to work with.

This place is amazing it was as if we were visiting family. Very homey feel! Definitely would recommend and we will be going back! The Llama’s were sweet and a bit shy but enjoyed the snacks they provide you to give them.

Out in the country

Very quiet location - just what we wanted after driving in to the Austin Grand Prix for 3 days. Enjoyed talking to the lamas, though they didn't have much to say other than how they enjoyed the Llama snacks. We also saw our first scorpion in the wild and left it alone. So, a very successful stay in the hill country!

Our trip

There wasn’t any kind of reflector tape, lights, flag, or anything to be able to see the turn in to the gate in the dark. The house phone wasn’t working and our cell phones didn’t work on the property. Pretty dangerous for senior citizens in case of emergency. The house and beds were very comfortable.

Nice, quiet, beautiful, and relaxing

This is a great place for just a place to get away and to shut down from the harried lives that we live. Everything was just as presented and we had a wonderful time. Caution: the Lamas spit! LOL they are a lot of fun also.

We all enjoyed our stay. This beautiful, secluded, property was perfect for friends to relax and catch up. We had big plans to visit some local wineries, distilleries and other local attractions, we never left the house.!! Meg was quick to respond to any questions we had. We are planning a visit back in the fall.

Enjoyable experience!

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this property and the llamas were like the icing on the cake! They were so sweet and loving and greeted us whenever we were there. The house is very unique and well organized. We loved sitting on the deck enjoying coffee or wine, depending on the time. We definitely had a wonderful, relaxing trip!
