We loved our stay! We had everything we needed and more for our girls weekend. Joy has thought of everything and there were so many things in the house that made our stay wonderful, from the robes to the bar accessories. Everything was labeled and notes on how to use or navigate anything in the home. Easy check in and check out, this was the perfect home for our trip

Memorial Day Reunion!

Perfect stay for our Memorial Day reunion trip for two families of college friends - 4 adults and 4 kids (all 9 and under). Really enjoyed the pool/spa and running around the large property. Plenty of options for inside gatherings across large living room and upstairs game room along with outside patio and fire pit.

Joy was an amazing host. She went above and beyond to make sure my family was taken care of. She let us check in early, allowed our dog to stay and gave us a military discount. She communicated early and often. Property was as advertised and well maintained. Perfect transaction. Would highly recommend.

Loved the property. However I was expecting a heated pool. Instead it was freezing and we were told we have to pay extra for that. So therefore it is false advertising. We decided we had paid plenty to not have to pay more so we didn’t really get to enjoy the pool like I was expecting.

Perfect Getaway

This home was perfect for our quick family getaway. Our group included 3 generations and there was something for everyone. The kids enjoyed the pool and game room while the adults enjoyed the home and scenic views while the kids were occupied. We also enjoyed the local distillery and local winery. We hope to visit again!

Great family vacation

We came down from Dallas for the Spartan race in Burnett. The house was perfectly located between Burnett and Austin. Great proximity to breweries like Frontyard Brewing. The house had everything we needed from pool towels, toiletries and kitchen spices/utensils. Directions were everywhere for how to operate all the house electronics. There are 2 fridges which was great when staying with a large group.

Weekend Getaway

We loved our stay in Spicewood! The property is very large with plenty of room to play. Bedrooms & bathrooms were very spacious and the bed linens provided were comfortable (everyone commented on this!). The backyard and pool were amazing as well but at the time we were there, the lake/river where this house sits was dried up so we we not able to enjoy the lake activities as we’d hoped.

Family holiday together

Property is wonderful for outside fun—fishing, swimming, fire pit. Plenty of inside room—pool table is a big plus—with lovely accoutrements and amazingly stocked kitchen. After many VRBO rentals, think the most unique, and favorable, element of this property is the responsiveness of owner/manager who is unusually willing to help make the stay amazing. Thanks!

Great home for teens

This house was conveniently located just 30 mins from Austin, I took my son and two of his friends, and it's the perfect layout for teens. They took the upstairs, really enjoyed the pool table, the pool/hot tub and fire pit. Lake was low but there was a marina just 5 minutes away, so we were still able to enjoy boating, etc. Owners were very responsive.
