Perfect for a family stay-cation weekend. The pool & hot tub were delightful, the house was clean and well-equipped, and the scenery was beautiful. We didn’t make it down the steep hill to the lake, but enjoyed everything else.

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.

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!

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.

Thank you for your review. I do send multiple messages beginning immediately after booking with ample information about our home. The pool wars 81 degrees. We gladly heat it as explained in our advertising and messages to guests for $75-100/day to cover the cost of the propane. Guest are free to heat the spa to 103 as desired with us paying the costs. My family team loves to host guests and share our property.

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!
