This was perfect for our family gathering. We had four couples staying in the house and it was ideal for being together in one place yet also allowing each couple their own space. We had perfect weather so we spent a lot of time enjoying the pool area and outdoor porch. Highly recommend!
Perfect for our family group with 4 bedrooms each with own bath-and the pictures are NOT deceiving-it’s huge!! Lovely ground and critters, saw deer and a fox. And yet so close to Austin and family wedding venue.
The house is beautiful but it had a few shortcomings. The outlets in the upstairs bathrooms did not work; the carpet upstairs had stains. There is not enough seating in the breakfast nook. Some of the cups in the cupboard were dirty (dusty—one had a moth in it). On the plus side, the beds were very comfortable, the house otherwise was clean, the pool and outdoor areas are beautiful, very peaceful. We had a great stay overall and the host/hostess was very gracious.
Plenty of room for the whole family to relax, work, study, and lounge — together or privately. Every bedroom has a bathroom which was awesome for us all needing to get ready for wedding festivities. I’m especially grateful for the location in a Dark Sky area.
BEUTIFUL PLACE. REINDEER ALL AROUND.
GREAT UPSTARIS PLAYROOM WITH POOL TABLE FOR ADULTS AND GAMES FOR KIDS.
YOUNGER KIDS WOULD OF LOVED THE PLAYSCAPE WHICH COULDN'T ACCESS BECAUSE OF TONS OF STICKERS TO GET TO IT.
WOULD OF ENJOYED THE HUGE JET TUBE IN UPSTAIRS MASTER, BUT JET DID NOT WORK.
POOL WAS FABULOUS.

We had fun!
We enjoyed our time and the property was close to all the things we wanted to do. The wild life on the property was fun to watch.
Our biggest wish was that the pool and patio were cleaner. We contacted managment about pool filter being clogged and sweeper bag having hole which was blowing debrise back out. Nothing was done. Some of the outside furniture was broken or dirty.
Great, beautiful property and georgous house. The main town is only nine minutes away. All the rooms were clean and beds were so comfortable. Deer are all over this property, They came to visit every morning and every afternoon. My only small let down was the swimming pool’s cleanliness. Algae growing on the walls, and robot was not useful at all. Wasn’t terrible, Just something we had to deal with. Otherwise, this would’ve been a five star rating.
This is a great house and a great location!
The bedrooms having their own baths was great and the game room was awesome.
There is just a few things that would have needed to be corrected to make it perfect. The playscape was advertised for kids but where it was at was too overgrown to let kids go play on it,
We couldn't get the music to play outside but luckily we had a bluetooth speaker with us.
and the bottom skimmer of the pool never came on when we were there so the bottom of the pool was a little dirty.

So many little things
We loved the layout, the game room, the gazebo in the back yard. The yard was beautiful! The beds are really comfortable!
So, the things that need attention:
Stained carpets. When we got there there was even a wet spot in the master. And most other carpets weren’t great but it’s nice carpet and will clean up well!
The kitchen was not well stocked so bring your own stuff!
The pool was not circulating and there was zero chlorine. (Happen to have a test kit in my car)
Just things to note!
We still had a nice time!
We had a GREAT time at this house! I loved how the deer roamed through the property several times a day on the way to the neighbor's feeder. I could have watched them all day every day we were there.
We really enjoyed the pool and the outdoor seating areas. We spent a lot of time outside, and those areas were perfect!
We loved the upstairs game room, playing pool several times while we were there. Loved the group seating.
The kitchen was great! And, we even used the dining table one night!
I addressed the owner with a couple of small things and they did a great job of responding. Nothing really big to report that was negative. If anything, I would suggest a little bit of maintenance, but nothing that was a big deal.
We would definitely go back to the house.
We loved the location and the property but there was some issues with the house . The shower in the master was covered on the whole time we couldn’t shut it off , we messaged the property manager and they were aware of the situation but said they were just the management company and the owners were the ones that had to fix it . Huge huge stains on the carpet in multiple rooms and trash and half eaten food in the game room . So clearly it was never cleaned . Other than that the property wouldn’t have been great

LARGE space that worked out good for us…
GOOD: very large roomy house with plenty of space for large group of people; game room with lots of game options; bedding and linens were decent; kitchen was fairly well equipped; more than enough seating for large group.
BAD: Wasn’t as clean as compared to some other rentals…. mostly just dusty; no TV in any bed room; couldn’t get or figure out how to get any local tv channels; some remotes didn’t have batteries; several small repairs or maintenance issues are needed; HvAC worked good but it didn’t distribute the warm air evenly… some rooms got too hot in order to get some rooms warm.

Could Be Great
Our family was visiting Austin for an after Christmas get-together. We have relatives that were very close to this location and was one of the reasons we picked this house. The location and lay-out of the house fit our family well. We knew it was a premium house with a premium price, so we splurged. As we entered the driveway we were impressed. We were soon inside and began to settle in and that is when you begin to notice the lack of upkeep. There were several large stains in the carpet throughout the house. In the master bath the left sink of the double sink did not work. It constantly ran...not drip but ran. I tried to shut the water off to the faucet, but it was already shut off. They knew it didn't work. The shower door was broken in the bathroom off of the game room. After working on it I was able to get one panel to move. There was also mold around the bathtub in this bathroom and the other guest bathroom with the bunk beds. The towels were like cheap hotel towels. One of the light covers going up the stairs was broken. Spiders were on the floors. The pool was dirty with leaves and not swimmable. We contacted the property management upon arrival and indicated the above problems and provided pictures. They were very responsive verbally and did offer to have the house cleaned but we just wanted them notified for the next guest. Nothing else was done. This could have been a dream vacation home, but it was not. Certainly not worth the premium price.
The property was perfect for our relaxing girls trip get away to the Texas Hill Country. The house has plenty of space and the layout of the patio and pool area was perfect. The location of the house was convenient as it is not very far away from grocery stores and shopping, but it is far enough away to enjoy the beautiful scenery, peace and quiet away from the city.
Rented this place for a bday weekend for my 18 year old daughter. It’s great location with great scenery. House clean and would definitely book again and recommend.
The only downside was that the jets did not work in the Jacuzzi tub, only one pool stick had an actual tip on it and the gate would not close after entering. I would recommend this property to friends and family. Beautiful place!
This place was really nice , the pool was a good size the bedrooms were nice, the dishwasher wasn’t working well, the was a scorpion on the kids bathroom, the coffee machines had mildew on them
