Perfect house for our group of 6! Loved walking into Johnson City, lots to do. Close proximity to wineries and distilleries. The outdoor patio area is awesome. Loved our stay, highly recommended.
Property was clean and accommodating for 4 adults and 4 children, just as advertised. Short walk to for food and drinks. Would definitely stay here again. The host was very attentive and the house was nicely decorated and comfortable.
Perfect spot to stay while visiting family in town. Kids loved the outdoor TV area, and accommodations were comfortable and beautifully decorated. We were able to walk to the Science Mill and great restaurants. Everything we needed!
We stayed here for a weekend to visit our family who was staying at the Rivers edge RV Park. Its close proximity was nice to celebrate a birthday. This home is well kept and comfortable, and the courtyard is an added treat.
Friends trip and we had a great time at this house. Roomy, clean and very quiet area. The bedrooms were spread out, so perfect floorplan. The dining table was our place to gather and talk and play games. We would definitely visit again.
The house was perfectly described and a great place to use as a home base to explore the hill country. The host was super responsive and helpful with answering questions about the area. My family had a great time.
Enjoyed this home so much - very comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen (even offered coffee beans and grinder!), very clean and oh my! that fabulous patio. Would definitely go back. The management was always available and very easy check in/check out. We enjoyed hiking in Pedernales State Park and checking out Johnson City.
We had a wonderful stay. Our host was very responsive and made sure we had what we needed. The beds were wonderful! The space was perfect for relaxing! Overall we loved it! We will definitely be back!
We loved our stay in Johnson City. It was convenient and relaxing. Everything was wonderful (beds, parking, bathrooms, outdoor patio, everything) and the glass rinser by the kitchen sink was a special touch. :-)
We loved our stay in Johnson City. Great location, close to many wineries, breweries, and restaurants. We split time between Fredericksburg and Dripping Springs areas, and Johnson City was a great home base. The owners are very responsive to any needs that may arise and provide lots of good info about the area. The backyard area is a great place to unwind for the night.

Thank you for being an all-star guest and your kind words about Lone Star Lokal, Alyssa! Loved getting to host you!
Our family rented this cute house for a wedding weekend in Texas in April 2024. The house was clean, beautiful and well equipped. The beds were very comfortable. It is right in the heart of Johnson City and walking distance to coffee shops and food. Would highly recommend!
We stayed for 5 nights for the eclipse in April and the house was perfect for us. Easy check-in, close to downtown (walking distance) and plenty of parking. The whole house was so clean and the furnishings were lovely, plenty of room for all of us. The kitchen had great china and all the equipment we needed to cook meals, which were wonderful outdoor in the courtyard. We loved our stay -- thank you!

We hope you enjoy it and it serves you well during your time in the Texas Hill Country!
