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.

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.

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.

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!
