Our family was in town for the wedding of our nephew which was held at Chandelier of Gruene. The close proximity of this home to the wedding venue was exceptionally convenient and allowed us more time with family instead of spending our time driving. This home is beautiful inside and out and we thoroughly enjoyed all of the spaces, particularly the beautiful views outside and serene setting on the back patio with the pool and the fireplace. Unfortunately it wasn't warm enough for the pool, but we certainly enjoyed the fireplace. The kids loved having their own upstairs sleeping quarters and they loved the play house! Our hosts were very hospitable, friendly and thoughtful and very responsive to all of our questions and needs. Even as wonderful as our stay was, there are, however, a few safety concerns that could probably be improved upon so as to make it a more guest friendly home. For example, while there was a railing on the front entry steps, there was no railing on the back patio steps, which was where we spent most of our time. With 2 disabled folks, (one of whom is elderly), and clumsy kids, a railing would definitely provide more safety. The bathrooms were also a safety concern due to not having any grab bars or bathmats. All in all we had a wonderful time, our hosts were wonderful, the house was wonderful and we would definitely recommend Mountain Laurel Haus to another family! Hope we get to come back again!
