Eclipse trip

We came for the total solar eclipse of 2024 - too many clouds to actually see it but the trip was still wonderful. Terry is the nicest, most accommodating host. The house is amazing and we spent most of our time there. The only lacking star was the entrance at the driveway was a little rough for the super-low sports car that we rented - otherwise a perfect rental.

The looking glass house

We had a wonderful stay here at this large spacious home. My son got married at the preserve and this was the perfect location to stay in. My husband and I had two of our adult children and their spouses staying with us as well and this house made it very comfortable for all!

Great for a girls getaway

The house was a great choice for our group of 8- plenty of space to relax, plenty of bedrooms. We loved having space to hang out with the beautiful bar area and large kitchen table.

Great home close to The Preserve Wedding Venue

This home worked out perfectly for our family members who had traveled to Texas for a wedding at The Preserve. We had 8 who stayed and a few others who gathered for our Rehearsal Dinner. It’s a fun space with the tree room, lots of eclectic decor, well equipped kitchen, koi pond, hot tub, and other amenities. Unfortunately we didn’t spend much time outdoors or use the hot tub because the weather was too hot. However early mornings were nice to sit outside and watch the deer come through the yard. Terry, the owner is friendly and easy to communicate with. We enjoyed seeing a light show one evening with amazing lightning and thunder that we’re not used to seeing at our home. It’s a perfect home for a big group to gather. Fortunately there is a nice bedroom on the first level, because the stairs to the upper level are quite steep. Great place!
