Nice place

The house was as described on website. Comfortable beds, nice bathrooms, open kitchen-living room. Only drawback to this home are the roads, lots of pot holes and no pavement on some of the roads in the development.

Solitude and Great Views

This is an extremely livable and well-appointed home nestled in the Hill Country just north of San Antonio. We were there for a few days conducting business and it was such a please to come back to this home at the end of the day and let the pressure just drift away. We are looking forward to coming back.

Great host

Great communications from the host. Checked in often to make sure everything was in order. The home was perfectly located for our family get together. The home was clean and the amenities were spot on. The home is well maintained however the public roads in the neighborhood are not. Of course this is not the fault of the host.

Relaxation

Very pleasant and quite place. Nice to get away from city living for a while. Enjoyed relaxing on the large back patio and grilling. We played some of the games that were at the house, like oversized Jenga. The host was easy to get ahold of, and very responsive.

Absolutely adorable! Carol thought of everything! kitchen equipment, towels,grilling tools, even games and movies! I was so impressed with the small details. She had seperate make-up towels, cute continers of Q-tips and band aids. We just bought our food and we were at home. I couldn't have asked for anything more! Communication was timley and clear. She answered me within 15 minutes when I had a question. Check in and out was easy and smooth. Very comfortable and decorated so cute. It was a wonderful experience! Thank you Carol!!!!!

Lovely Home

The home was lovely - well decorated, comfortable with all the amenities. The owner was very sweet and works to make sure her guests are comfortable. The view from the back deck was beautiful in the morning, especially if you can catch the sunrise. The downside - I was not prepared for the roads to access the property. Huge potholes and parts of the road are washed out. It’s not the owner’s fault, but come prepared, unless the county gets the roads repaired.

My husband and I live in Colorado, but we bought this home so we would have a place to stay when we travel to the hill country to visit our grandchildren. We hope you will enjoy this little gem as much as we do!
