Peaceful and Relaxing
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The house was very clean and stocked with everything I needed. I got away by myself after losing my husband. Not once was I worried about being on my own there. Thank you for making my stay so comfortable.

Great stay.
The cabin has everything you’d need to be entertain indoors and outdoors. It is well stocked with games, books, and all kinds of water toys/gear. The kitchen is very well stocked and their are plenty of seats for all throughout the cabin and outside. Such a great place. Great property and sweet owners.

Home away from home
This place truly had a home feeling to it. Had everything you may need minus clothes and food...even had toys for if you had small children.Could even watch deer from the back patio. It was super clean and was impressed from the moment we walked in the door. Have no complaints and couldn't have picked a better place to stay if I tried!

Relaxing stay
The property was well maintained. Bluebonnets galore! House, patio, and extra seating outside great. Plenty of room in kitchen & den. If the lake had of been up to the dock, this would be the perfect getaway!

Anniversary getaway
Loved a week at this nice home. In a quiet neighborhood. The morning sunrise was pleasant before the temp rose to 100 +. Great location we visited San Saba, and Llano and took our paddle board to Inks lake to watch the sunset. Would love to come back.

Family reunion weekend
It was absolutely and amazing stay. I'm in a wheelchair and the access is amazing and the step in to the kitchen wasn't bad at all. 100% would recommend staying here. Most definitely going to book this place again next year for our family reunion again. The property manager was super sweet and made sure we had everything including a rocking chair to be able to rock my youngest. It was as stunning as the pictures even more so in my opinion.

We had a very relaxing week. Can’t thank you enough for the great time we had. The outside was fantastic, we sat out almost every evening. WONDERFUL PLACE !!!!

Amazing
As this stay was intended for a family stay to do important things a quickly turned into a short family vacation, which was amazing!!! The house was more than I could ever imagine it to be. The neighborhood was extremely quiet. The room living room message were very spacious!!! The family was able to sit outside as a whole and just relax and enjoy each other’s company for the first time in almost 10 years!!!

The house was very cozy and the backyard area was great! I loved that I was able to bring my dogs, they loved it! The only complaint I have is that the bedroom with the one queen bed was very warm.
