HH home

It was a good stay but the cleanliness was not so good everything was very dusty and spider webs everywhere inside and out. Mold in the shower. And there was a wasp nest growing on the back porch. I had a baby shower for my daughter and had to go buy a duster and wasp spray. I would like to stay there again but I don’t want to have to clean. I also wish we had a hose to spray down the furniture outside. We had a great time it was very comfortable.

Great for a Family with dogs

We stayed here for 11 days with our 2 kids and 2 dogs. We loved the house and neighborhood. It was so quiet and secure, loved our evening walks. The owner was so personable and cared not only about our stay but also about us finding a place for us to live here in Texas. Will recommend this place to anyone that is looking to relax and enjoy amazing morning sunrises in a quiet beautiful home.

Great weekend stay

House was in a great quiet neighborhood. House looks just like in the pictures. Bedrooms were a good size, master bedroom is HUGE! Backyard was great for our small dogs and fenced. Great lighting at night! Hosts are very friendly and easy to communicate with. Our only cons was the cleanliness of the home. When we arrived, there were crumbs on the counters and stove top. Crumbs in a lot of the kitchen drawers. Master shower is full of soap scum that could easily be cleaned so it seems like it doesnt get cleaned often which is a little iconic for the cleaning fee we have to pay.Other than that, the house was great and we would consider staying here again.

Very nice,

This charming house was perfect for us. The 2nd Bdr a little small but cozy. The master bed and bath were wonderful! The water pressure kept me in the shower longer than usual! The backyard has delightful lighting for sipping wine and grilling! Easy parking, easy to get to and conveniently located to lots of restaurants and stores. Would definitely book again..

Escaping the cold!!

We were able to get an early check ahead of the storm. Thank you! Had a couple of very small issues while there which were resolved very quickly and efficiently. This is a beautiful home and was perfect for us. Looking forward to returning in the future and hopefully it’ll be available.

Great house in a quiet spot

The house was just what we needed to see the total solar eclipse. The neighborhood was nice and quiet but close enough to stores and restaurants so we didn’t feel isolated. The house was clean and just what we expected.

Awesome stay

Very clean and homey, the location was great also. Super close to Dana Peak park where my husbands race was. Loved staying here, the only thing I have negative thoughts about is the door lock. They need to buy a new one it’s too difficult to unlock, was a pain in the butt every time we came back.

Extended Family Trip

This was a great place for myself, spouse, children, and my parents to stay while visiting family for the week. When we ran into a little tech snag, the owners were on it, provided an immediate alternative, and had someone out the next morning to fix it. The fully outfitted kitchen was great, instructions in the guest book were clear and straightforward, the owners were easily available if we had any questions, and the home itself was very comfortable, and gave us the privacy of our own space while still close to our family. Will definitely book again for future visits!
