We really enjoyed our stay at this property. It was clean and inviting. The location was perfect for us. We love to hike with our dogs and the trailhead was within walking distance. We stopped at the host recommended Hernandez Hideaway for a quick lunch with a few delicious margaritas on the way back. The house was very comfortable, we especially loved the soft, fluffy towels and comfortable beds. There was plenty of room for all of us to sit together in the living room to watch TV, play games or just enjoy the beautiful view of the lake. The outdoor areas were comfortable, our dogs loved the large fenced yard, and the deck was another great place to enjoy the views. We will definitely be back!!
