Absolute gorgeous property!! This home accommodated family and friends for a college graduation celebration. The isolated location made for a peaceful retreat yet still only 8 minutes away from the main town. Highly recommend for large gatherings with each room providing multiple beds and perfect for multiple families. Laura is a gracious host and very responsive to any concerns or requests. Would love to stay here again!

Wonderful family vacation get-together!

This house provided plenty of areas for our group to gather together for meals and socializing, but other areas are available if more privacy or quiet time is needed. The house is large but still feels comfortable and cozy. Plenty of indoor entertainment available, esp since we had some rain. Excellent kitchen accommodations made it easy for us to fix 3 meals a day. The outdoor spaces also did not disappoint. Great pool, 2 firepits, hot tub, and river access gave us many options for entertainment. The host provided helpful information ahead of time for us to plan our trip and was responsive when we had questions during our stay. Our group would consider returning to this property again!

Great family gathering place.

The house is fabulous. It had really high end furnishings. We had 30 family members and we were all comfortable. The large dining family was great for family meals and our family bingo night. Laura was a great hostess. We highly recommend this place.

Family Christmas 2024

Our group of 11 adults absolutely loved the property. The rooms were large and well appointed. The extra large dining tables were perfect for family meals and game nights. We enjoyed both the hot tub and pool (heated for our stay at extra cost). The game room inside was a big hit with the family and used constantly. The kitchen was excellent with wonderful appliances and plenty of dishes to accommodate all of our needs. (Two dish washers were very much appreciated!) Overall it was a huge hit and we'd happily rent the property again.

Team Retreat

For the second time, our work team and spouses spent a few days together at this wonderful property for our annual team retreat. We’ve stayed at a few other places, but this one seems to be our favorite! The ease of working with the owners, the quiet location, the stunning views, and the wonderful home are the perfect combination! We can’t say enough great things about this place! I’m certain we will return.

Beautiful house and great experience

Celebrated my 30th birthday here with some friends and we had an amazing time. The beds were very comfortable, the amenities were great and overall everything was lovely. My boyfriend ended up proposing in front of the river which made for a beautiful setting! Thank you so much for having us. Would definitely book again!

Just as advertised!

Great property and amenities are all top quality. No skimping on costs by owner. Amazing beds and linens. Top to bottom everything was great. We went when the Blanco River was a bit low because of drought. We plan to visit again.
