Clean

House was not clean. I have multiple pictures with date stamps if someone wants to challenge my assessment. Hire professionals to clean. Spend money on hand soap and dish soap (not a watered down version). Make sure the recycle makes it to the curb before the next renters show.

Why they chose this property

This property is very relaxing and has a ton of character with great energy. We love our home and are opening it up to anyone that needs a nice getaway or a spacious home to hold a family reunion or wedding. We have lots of room and tons of yard in the front and back for relaxing and events. We love the area of Belton and the unique character of the town. Lots to do close by and Austin, Georgetwon and Roundrock are only 35-60 min drive away.

What makes this property unique

We love the view from the dining room area into the deep backyard looking into the woods. Tons of beautiful birds and hummingbirds that come up to the large windows to feed. We have made lots of small touches to the home to make it warm, cozy, rustic and welcoming to everyone. The energy in the home is wonderful and were always doing little things to make it more like home :) Come stay with us anytime!
