We have stayed at a lot of airbnbs/vrbos across Texas. I think this place ranks at the top or very close to it. Very ranch, very cool, very Texas! The description of the place is exactly as it actually is. Hosts were super responsive and friendly. Our main intention was family het together and star gazing (for those that this matters, this house is in a dark sky area). The hosts were kind enough to take note and make adjustments like turning off all exterior lighting. The place was clean, well maintained. The games barn with pool, ping pong, jenga, etc. was beyond awesome - kept the young ones and teens occupied for hours on end. We had dinner at Harper which is about 10mins away - Los Potrillos restaurant is a must visit! I highly recommend this place for a family get together or just a quiet vacation far from the city.

We had such a wonderful time here! The home is very spacious and clean! The master bedroom is huge with double doors that open to the outside! The AC worked great!! The view is gorgeous, private and peaceful! We had lots of kids with us ranging from elementary to teens and they all are still talking about how much fun they had and are asking to go back for our next trip! The barn is huge, so many games, pool table, party lights, and the hot tub is located inside! There aren’t many restaurants or stores near by so come prepared!! We did try the local TexMex restaurant about 15mins away which was delicious. We will definitely be returning in the summer so we can make more memories and enjoy the pool!

Beautiful stay, my party enjoyed the atmosphere and how quiet it was. The stay had so much for us to do and did not have to worry about getting in trouble with nearby neighbors.

This is the place to relax and unwind from the social world, has a great view of the sunrise and sunset. The pool is a nice amenity. A great place to gather with family.
