Thank you Janet for your kind words. It was a pleasure having you and your family stay during this difficult time you all are going through. Yes the house is unique since it's our families historic property from the 1930's that's been remodeled and more updates to come.
We had a great stay! It was a great layout for our family, two kitchen areas were great with living area downstairs as well. Host was very communicative and very friendly. Thanks for a great stay!

Thank you for your kind words. It was great to have you stay at our place during your Christmas holiday.
This charming older home was perfect for us and our dogs. The proximity to the town square (and Rico's for breakfast tacos!) made for a lovely walkable neighborhood feel. We love Mason, and enjoyed this house. Likely to book again.

Thank you Nicolas for your kind words and treating the house like is was your own. You and your family are welcome back, any time.
The house is a quick walk to the square and in a really quiet neighborhood. My friends and I were comfortable and enjoyed our stay. Shanlyn was extremely responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. Perfect place in Mason to rest up before fishing the South Llano or bouncing around the cities nearby.

Thank you Jonathan for your kind words. It was a pleasure having you and your friends stay at our guest house. Hope you will return!
Unique old home with excellent retro remodel. Low hanging staircase so watch your noggin. Some stairs to climb.. might be a challenge for some. Overall, a relaxing place to stay.. close to downtown Mason. Very responsive host. I would definitely stay here again.

Thank you Justin for staying at our house. Yes, the thank you for committing on the stairs. The low hanging staircase inside the house has signs so you will not hit your noggin. :-) Hopefully that helps our guest! The house was built in the early 1900's, so therefore you will see some unique features in this house that you will not see in others.
