Peaceful pool

We absolutely had the best time! There were a few issues with previous renters breaking things and the owner was very quick to respond and fix the issues. We greatly appreciated all they did to make our stay perfect! The house was beautiful and very clean. Nice beds and very peaceful area.

Great place, remote with all the comfort

The house is located on the end of the road, which give the property nice privacy. There’s a dry creek behind the property too which makes it private and serene. Great for walking around. The pool is nice and clean. Very modern. Each bedroom has a private en suite. Nice high ceilings. The homeowner was very nice and quick to respond.

Great House, Pool & Texas Hill Country Views

We were 11 adults and 2 children here for a week in June 2025. The house has a great flow (but will comfortably sleep only 6 adults and 3 kiddos in beds). The pool and pool area is super nice. Managing the pool is made easy thanks to the owner. We were off the beaten path, but we thoroughly enjoyed the rugged Hill Country terrain (know you are 15 minutes from anything). You are centrally located to all the Hill Country towns. (We all really enjoyed the Exotic Zoo Resort in nearby Johnson City and shopping in nearby Wimberley.) Another big plus to this house is all three bedrooms have their own ensuites. Lots of beautiful sunny views from inside. Air conditioning, hot water and water pressure were all awesome. Fridge area (side-by-side) is small, so plan to bring ice chest for a'ddl cold space if staying more than a few nights.
