The property is old, things were not well taken care of, and the there was persistent being from the closed off part of the house that made it hard to sleep.The main house was said to be for seven or more people, however it has three small beds and a pull out couch in the living room. The living room didn’t have blinds or bedding for that bed. It can at most fit 3 people comfortably. The best part was the pool.

Thank you for your review. You had not contacted us regarding any issues during your stay. The check in information noted there is extra sheets and blankets in the chest in the living area with 2 pull out sofa beds. The 3 beds are queen beds, so are quite sufficient for 2 people to sleep comfortably in each. I am sorry the stay did not meet your needs. We would have liked you to contact us with any issues as noted in the check in information, and we could have accommodated you in making your experience a better one.

Great Place for Family Time

They property was perfect for us, we had a Family Event to attend and it was a great home base to relax and be together for the entire weekend. One side note: Its location is great for events at Garrison Brothers Distillery which is about 7 minutes away by car.

We hunt annually in the area and this was the perfect property for our group. Lots of space inside and out, deer crossing in the back and the most beautiful sunrise coming through the back windows. We are looking forward to next year!

Wine Country Thanksgiving

Great location for wineries around Johnson City and Fredericksburg. The accommodations were very roomy for an extended family trip. The house is dated but very clean! The pool was nice but not of use to us in Nov and outside lighting lit up the grounds at the back of the house.

outstanding overall location, and facilities !

Rode up with our church group from Tomball for the Fandango vintage motorcycle event. The property was easy to find, a fantastic location, very clean, with more than enough space to park a couple of bikes and a trike. The bedrooms were comfortable, isolated and quiet. Loved the pool and the grill! Yeah, we are coming back!
