Beautiful and peaceful

Property was perfect, the creek was nice, the house has plenty of room for everyone. Close to Lost Maples Park. House was older but well kept and clean.

Cozy and clean but difficult check in and no cell coverage.

We are a family of 8 and this house fit us perfectly. We loved the large living space. There was plenty of comfy seating and space to spread out. We enjoyed the spacious back porch and backyard and spent every night by the fire pit. The kitchen was fully stocked with just about everything we needed to cook every meal here for 3 days. We also used the charcoal grill for burgers one night. The sound of the water from the spring was so peaceful and the view was lovely! The beds were comfy, the linens were nice, the showers were hot. We would have loved to give this place 5 stars, but had just a few hiccups. We were unable to get in contact with the host for over an hour during check in, since we never had any check in information sent to us prior to the stay. It took us calling VRBO to get in contact with them. If you have Verizon, you won't have any kind of service here, or anywhere even remotely near here. However, the wifi works great, but no texts or calls while here. Thank heavens one person had t mobile and was able to call the host when we needed help getting in to the home during check in. We were told that due to the drought we could only do one load of laundry... that was after we asked for the washer to be fixed because it was disconnected and said to be broken initially. One load of laundry for a family of 8 from out of town... not ideal. Lastly, the one TV in the house is older and blurry. They did have dish satellite but no other smart features. Overall though, we do feel like this was a 4 star stay.

Utopia Has Been Found!

If you are looking for anything remotely close to a Utopian experience, this is the place. The area and property are spectacularly beautiful! Walk out back and down the stairs to the Sabinal River directly behind the house and you will find slow moving water into gin clear pools with a natural spring flowing from the rocky shore. We had seven adults in our group and all enjoyed a private bedroom (3 couples & 1 single) with plenty of bathroom space to get ready each morning. The location was perfect for our visit to Lost Maples State Natural Area and short road trips around the area. Take hwy 337 over to Leakey and enjoy some of the best views in the hill country. While there, don't forget to stop by Gypsy Sally's for great burgers and margaritas. Overall, we loved this property and will return on our next visit to the area.

Wonderful experience

Loved how isolated the property was. The house was large enough for our group and accommodated us well. Great getaway. Jada was a spectacular host. Will definitely use her again.

Sweet escape

The location was perfect for our group! There was still enough water to cool off in even though we’re in a drought. Would absolutely rent again if we come back this direction!

When we don't have guests staying in our home (and I'm not working lol), you can find me hanging out in the river or doing yoga on the rocks enjoying the sound of the flowing springs. Come check out our little piece of Heaven!

Why they chose this property

Our family property is truly a gem tucked in the beautiful Texas Hill Country! When we first saw the spring bubbling out of the hills we fell in LOVE! We love to share our gorgeous place with others and look forward to sharing with you too! :)

What makes this property unique

The spring bubbling out of the hillside is spectacular. There's really nothing like it. There are a TON of vacation rentals around but nothing like this spring. You can hear it flowing from the porch and when you sit in the river area it literally gives your body, mind and soul the reset it needs.
