We are only able to offer an early check in if there is not a booking before yours as it takes time for our cleaners to prepare and restock the home for each stay. For this reason, we are also not able to offer a late check out when we have guests checking in the same day.
GUEST RENTAL AGREEMENT: We kindly ask all guests to sign a separate rental agreement after booking. This helps us protect both you and our property, making sure everything is in order for your stay. We’ve kept the agreement simple and straightforward, and we’re happy to answer any questions you might have about it.
CLEANLINESS: We put our heart and soul into ensuring the space is sparkling clean and ready for your stay! We invite you to make yourself at home and show our space the same love and care you would your own. Our dedicated team works tirelessly to keep it pristine for every guest, and we're excited for you to enjoy it! Just a friendly heads-up, any cleaning beyond the ordinary might incur an extra charge.

Rest assured, this is completely harmless, and our installed filters and water softeners are designed to minimize any odors, although a hint of it may still linger at times.

CRITTERS: Our house is in the beautiful Texas countryside, and like many homeowners around here, we have regular pest control to keep critters and bugs at bay. However, every now and then, a few might sneak in. It's pretty rare, but we just wanted to give you a heads-up that it's part of country living!
INSURANCE: Given the unpredictable nature of our world, we strongly suggest considering travel insurance to safeguard against any unexpected events. Our cancellation policy is firmly in place, so insurance can offer you peace of mind and protection.

Our stay at this home was absolutely fabulous. The house and its amenities were great. Hosts were very easy to work with and responded quickly. Would definitely stay here again. There is so much to do in this region, will definitely have to come back in warmer temps.
Owners were super responsive when there were issues and it was a great home with plenty of space for our small family gathering. Tucked away yet close enough to amenities. Loved our stay here
A perfect stay. Loved everything about the house. The back area with the sauna, pool and hot tub is the perfect outdoor relaxation space. You can’t go wrong booking this house, whether it’s a romantic getaway or a big group, this is the place to go!
Everything you could want for a family getaway is included here: well-stocked kitchen and pantry, four bedrooms with comfy beds and each with its own bathroom/shower, big living room with lots of comfortable seating, big TV room, porches galore, big dining table, nice swimming pool with floats, lovely outdoor seating options, hot tub, sauna, fire pit, and grill! Outdoors is nice and private with lovely landscaping. Plenty of parking. We had a family gathering for Mom’s 80th birthday, and we all had a wonderful time. Wouldn’t change a thing.
We had the best stay! My family was so impressed by all of the thoughtful touches, detailed instructions, and seamless experience from start to finish. The home is beautifully designed, incredibly comfortable, and stocked with everything you could possibly need. The welcome basket was such a kind surprise and really set the tone for a perfect getaway.It’s so peaceful, and the backyard is the perfect spot to gather by the fire and dine al fresco — which we did every night. The robes were such a thoughtful touch! My niece and nephew were hot tubbing, then putting their robes on and saying, “Now this is big chilling.”This was my second time staying here, and it somehow gets better each visit. The vibe is absolutely perfect—relaxing, stylish, and so well cared for. Can’t wait for our next stay!
The property was just as advertised,, spacious, clean and comfortable. Well stocked with everything one needed in the kitchen. Great spaces to gather both inside and out.Just a couple of things;1. The showers int the two upstairs bedrooms are very slippery when wet. A shower mat or nonskid tape would be helpful to prevent injury .2. The handle for the hot water in the shower in the upper right bedroom fell off. It was very difficult to get it back on and no way to turn off the water. No room to bend over to retrieve the handle without getting out of the shower. Not a.great shower design!All things considered it was wonderful stay and we would definitely book here again!!
