Great property for large events, wonderful hosts
I used this property to host a large event for my organization, and it did not disappoint. There is plenty of parking and the backyard provides a secluded space capable of holding lots of people. The house is very nice and we were greeted with balloons and sweets welcoming us to the house. The hosts were very kind and communicative, responding very quickly to messages and helping ensure that our event went well. This was the second time my organization used this property and I can’t wait to come back!

Cozy family home
This home was sweet and comfortable! We booked it for a large group of 15 of us. It was a little tough to have 15 people and 1 bathroom, and 7 of our group slept in beds and 8 of us slept on couches or air mattresses. The host was kind and left us cookies.

Beautiful home with amazing hosts!
My family stayed in the house for my ring day weekend and I had my ring dunk here as well. Sonia welcomed my family and I with some notes and tips for our stay, some delicious and super cute personalized ring day cookies, cold drinks, a fully stocked coffee bar and supplies to make some s’mores!! Sonia was so quick to respond and answered all my questions I had when booking and during our stay. We’ve booked many homes for many different events throughout the years and we can definitely say that both Sonia and her husband have been the best hosts we’ve ever had, they were very kind to me and my family! I definitely recommend booking this house, there’s many things to do like fun board games and outdoor games and there’s a cute pond in the front of the property!

This was a great stay and excellent location and perfect for my group. Really appreciate all the space and updated features of the house, highly recommend staying here! Only thing to note is to make sure all doors are locked because it isn’t super close to other houses. More outdoor lighting would be great. Will look for it again next time.

Amazing stay! Peaceful and welcoming retreat!
We booked this stay to spend the weekend with our TAMU freshman. It appeared to be a comfortable retreat away from the hustle and bustle of College Station. Sonia was so quick to respond to my booking inquiry and answered any and all questions I had about the stay and property. Kind and generous are the first words that come to mind about Sonia and our stay! We checked in late after driving in after work/school and that was not a problem for the house hosts! We were welcomed with lights on, beds ready, cold drinks, and sweet treats on the counter! The beds were very comfortable after a long day! The coffee bar was fully stocked with and my favorite coffee creamer in the fridge for the morning. There were notes at check in with tips to make our stay more convenient and it was clear they meant they hoped we would be right at home! We were. It was the most relaxing and peaceful weekend our family has had this summer. Hands down a 5 star stay! I can’t recommend this beautiful home and it’s host family enough!
