Hot

We got there on Fri, set the thermostat, went out to eat. Got back, and it was warm...but, it was ok. Sat. left for a few hours, got back, and it was hot. Called Tim, he was so helpful, sent out an AC guy, and Natalie was very helpful, went and bought 2 box fans, they helped a little. They have some electrical problems.....Tim refunded our money, which we appreciate very much!! We were in town for grandkids tournament, and I'm sure we will be back one day. I will book again . House is cute, and very clean.

Quick trip for a work project

My husband and I stayed for a quick work trip. The home is older, but well cared for. There were fans and a solid AC - which fended off the even-hot-for-TX May temps. There were even ice cubes and chilled/filtered water in the fridge when we arrived. A coffee-shop and grocery store are very close by. And it worked great for us as our project destination was only minutes away.
