This is a cute little place to stay. It's nice and quiet and the property around is lovely. It's not too far from town but has a nice secluded feel about it. We had a good time here.

Blessed Stay
We had a youth retreat nearby and needed a place for our worship team (not bunk beds with campers). This was a perfect place, close, clean, beautiful scenery, and the host was incredible with our questions. Will definitely stay again!

Great stay
Our stay was amazing. The place was beautiful and very clean. Glen and Jamie even prepared snacks for us. My kids went to the tennis camp nearby during the day while my husband and I worked remotely. We had relaxing and peaceful evenings here. It was a wonderful stay and we look forward to coming back and exploring this area more.

About the host

Hosted by Glen Young

Host profile image
Hi there! We’re the Youngs, and it’s a pleasure to (kinda sorta) meet you. Glen originally hails from the Rocky Mountains and Jamie grew up in the Pacific Northwest, but the Texas Hill Country has been our home for several years. We are accountants by day (our poor children…you can imagine the dinner conversation), and by night we…don’t do much, come to think of it.

When we’re not elbow-deep in Excel spreadsheets, we enjoy spending time with our kids, traveling, exercising, and watching Netflix. Thanks for stopping by!
