Peaceful stay on a mountain

Monte had everything prepared for us. One of the best VRBO experiences I have ever had. The views were incredible and the area quiet. My wife and son found fossilized shells and different rocks while exploring.

A getaway in the hills of West Texas

Our cousins reunion found the perfect place to enjoy a comfortable ranch style home with all the essentials and very pleasant hosts. There was room to spread out on a deck and a patio and all kinds of nature to hike, fly kites, play games and take in the big sky of West Texas. Loved it!!!

Serene Hideaway

This property was a great getaway out of town, but not too far. It was extremely tidy and clean and the owners added special little touches that made it seem very personal. The view was especially lovely. I would stay here again if in the area.
