Texan Oasis
The property description is just as it appears in real life. The house is definitely well cared for and has high tech functionality mixed in with its wonderful decor. Everything you need is within a 20min drive and there is plenty of kitchen to load up for your stay. The heated pool was awesome at night and the bedroom/bathroom situation was perfect for 4 families.. Definitely worth it.

We had the opportunity to stay here before so when we found out a friend’s wedding was in Cedar Creek there was no question on where we would stay. This home is very clean. The property has so much to offer. Our grandchildren stayed busy swimming, fishing and exploring. We will definitely be reserving it again.

Wonderful retreat!
We can’t say enough good about our stay at Mesquite Retreat…the house is very clean…they have it stocked with everything you might need. The pool was awesome…we probably chose the home for this feature, but the entire property exceeded our expectations! We also enjoyed the pond and the serenity of the property. Even though we have rented many homes, this is only the 2nd time we would say, “we want to go back!”

Spacious Retreat
Our family loved this place! House is huge and plenty of outdoor space! Started off the morning on front porch drinking coffee and watching deer! Then moved to back patio- swimming, foosball for 6 yo, fabulous pool with lots of umbrellas, several grills for cooking, and ended day watching movies on huge outdoor movie screen! And did I mention the nugget ice machine!!! Owners were very easy and prompt to work with!!

Fun Spring Break Trip
Very Responsive Owners, they will quickly help you if any issues arise. Our family enjoyed the movie screen outside, smores, shopping in Bastrop (I never knew Bastrop had that much traffic), games, heated pool, hot tub, fishing, and boating. With the pond being 5 foot low the fish were SO easy to catch too! There was enough room for 7 of us to sleep comfortably. During our stay we experienced weather in the 50's and mid 80s, their AC and Heat worked well, beds were comfortable. Appliances for cooking were great- there is a cube ice machine on the patio along with a fire place.
