Hostess was always available. Home was exceptionally comfortable. No complaints. There is a water constriction in the hallway shower and that doesn't make for a nice heavy flow of water, like in the main bedroom shower but we had a choice so that was nice. All in all, we would definitely stay here again. It's one of the nicer places we've stayed at.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this charming house. Very convenient to the town and the wedding we attended at Bull Lion Ranch. One suggestion would be an iron and ironing board, otherwise the accommodations were over the top!!!

Great birthday weekend house!

This property is a great place to stay. The decor is well done and the house was clean and had everything needed. The outside area was great! Ladder ball, corn hole, a nice fire pit with lots of seating and a nice table with umbrellas. They even provided firewood. We’d definitely stay here again. We only had adults staying but there was also a nice play area if you had littles.

Very pleased

The house was exactly as listed and even better. Easy walk back and forth to the shops and restaurants. Very comfortable place that is furnished very nicely with luxurious bedding and bathroom towels. Kitchen was well supplied. And the sitting and dining areas made for a great family weekend. The houses around it are a little rough but we didn’t have any problems.
