Short stay during a Texas hog hunt

Picture-perfect house that looks like it should be featured in Cowboys & Indians magazine. I told my wife it looks like a Texas home that was designed for a celebrity. Within1-minute walking distance to grocery store is a HUGE PLUS! Host was incredible, responding immediately!
