Great spot for a family gathering. Entire trip was wonderful. Pictures do not do it justice.. rental management team was great!
Looking forward to staying there again.
The ranch/home was wonderful. The management team took care of everything we needed, including delivering some meals so we could stay and enjoy the property. The game room was a lot of fun and it was a perfect getaway that wasn't too far from Austin.

Adam, thank you for your wonderful review of this property! We are thrilled you enjoyed ABOVE's service and the properties amenities. Please consider ABOVE again for your next vacation!
This property was fantastic in the pictures, but even better in person. We had a large group and used all the various hangout spaces for different conversations. The huge kitchen and dining areas could not have been better suited to our purposes. Sleeping arrangements were vast and exceptional as well.

Reviewer Comments:
Our recent friends trip at Freestone Ranch, booked through Above Vacation Rentals, was absolutely incredible. With a group of 19 friends from across the country, we were looking for a perfect getaway, and Freestone Ranch in the Hill Country outside Austin, TX, exceeded all expectations.Sam, the property concierge, was amazing. She helped us with preplanning and provided all the necessary details to ensure a flawless weekend. On-site, Dale, the property manager, made sure everything ran smoothly, from food delivery to amenities. The house, only 2 years old, was in great shape with no significant wear and tear. The pictures don't do it justice. We loved the hot tub, pool, lawn games, pool table, ping pong, and having a private bartender. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience.Having worked with other property managers in the past, Above was one of the best!

We rented this lovely estate for my daughter's family wedding in June. We had the wedding and dinner outside and then moved inside as the night progressed. The immediate family was all able to stay at the home which was a bonus! Every room is spectacular, as is the property.
