Wonderful Stay!

We stayed specifically at this property for the April 6th eclipse and boy was it worth it! There were a few neighbors around, but it was pretty quiet, but awesome! We stayed beyond the 6th and had a good time enjoying the Longhorn Cavern State Park and the Perissos Winery. We really enjoyed our vacation at your cottage--thanks so very much!
