I have stayed at dozens of rentals over the years and this takes the cake. You can tell every detail is well thought out, owner is super easy to get a hold of if you have any questions. Property is just as amazing as it looks in the photos, you won’t regret booking this place.
The estate is beautiful. There is so much to entertain both children and adults. We had every convenience in a very well appointed home. We loved our stay and will consider renting again.
This is hands-down the finest home we've ever stayed in, boasting truly spectacular amenities throughout. Every detail—from the fixtures to the finishes—is absolutely top-of-the-line. You won't be disappointed; this place exceeds all expectations!
The property was incredible. Everything was updated, and the Sonos speakers in the party barn were a hit! They have everything you need for a fun weekend with friends. Will definitely be staying here again.
This place was perfect for my sister's bachelorette party! Plenty of space and so perfectly decorated! The pool and hot tub were awesome as well! The host was easy to work with and very helpful
What a fantastic stay! We were completely blown away by this property. The grounds were absolutely beautiful, offering a peaceful and scenic escape. The house itself was stunning, with a modern interior that was both stylish and incredibly comfortable.The pool was a real highlight, with a sleek, modern design that made for a perfect place to relax and cool off. The games barn was an absolute blast and kept everyone entertained for hours. Plus, the kitchen was a dream—it was so well-stocked with every accessory we could possibly need, which made cooking and dining a breeze.Sunset Dreams retreat is a true gem, I highly recommend!

About the host
Hosted by Jennifer Walker
I am from Austin, Texas. I am a builder and built this place for my family to enjoy and to be able to rent it out for short term. I enjoy being with the animals at Sunset Dreams Retreat and taking in all of the beauty. I enjoy being a host because I love getting to know people from all over.
Why they chose this property
It really is not in a neighborhood but a place of it's own. I love the privacy, beauty and peacefullness.
What makes this property unique
There is not anything else like it in the area. It has so much, newer Main house that is modern but yet so comfortable. The Party barn which is so fun to go play games and hang out. The animals are so much fun. We have an adorable mini donkey, a mule that is more like a horse that has so much personality and chickens! We also have a beautiful pond.
