My family of six stayed here for two nights for a wedding nearby. This is a great house for a secluded and quiet stay and the host was very responsive and helpful as needed. Would definitely stay here again if needed.
This was the perfect place for us to stay. The large deck out front allowed us to host the family for a cookout after graduation. It was close enough to San Marcos for us to do what we needed to without being in the middle of all the traffic.
We had a guys trip for the F1 race. The place was very nice and the pictures were accurate. The place is clean and spacious, great host, good communication.
What a great stay with family and pups.
It's a beautiful setting with great sunrise views.
The pond is like adding an extra visitor to the family.
If you enjoy the outdoors, i highly recommend.

We enjoyed the privacy. The weather was not the greatest, it rained alot, but we did get some fishing in.
Wonderful house! We had 2 couples and 3 almost grown kids and everyone had a bed and plenty of space. The kitchen was well stocked and the view was beautiful. We would stay here again, for sure. The owner responded to questions really quickly and checked up on us during our stay. A pleasure!
Great place for a weekend getaway with a few friends or a couple of families with kids. Felt secluded, except for the road noise, which did not bother our group at all. It was amazing to have the massive deck overlooking the pond right outside the front door! Also, quick drive into Lockhart for world class BBQ, great music shops, and other interesting activities. Highly recommend!
We had a great time staying at this property while we spent a weekend in the Austin area. The house was clean, well taken care of, and everything worked as expected.
Place was great. The fishing pond was a lot of fun. House was spacious and comfortable. It had everything we needed. Not to far from great bbq. We enjoyed our stay.
Had a wonderful trip! Family enjoyed the fishing, the sunsets out on the deck and the wonderful interior. Great location, close to Lockhart, Circuit of the Americas and more. Had a couple of questions at check in and the owner got right back to us! Family is already asking when we can go again!
This place is a treasure! We loved our stay! We came with our 3 adult children and two dogs. The house was very clean and all the essentials were provided. We caught too many fish to count even though it rained a lot! We were super excited to find a kayak there too, bonus! Communication with the host was easy and they responded super quick and were very pleasant & helpful with all our questions. We hope to come again very soon!
What a beautiful property. Fishing, turtles and deer. Everything was provided. We really enjoyed our stay minutes from Spoakes MX and town. We’ll stay here again for next MX camp or just to unplug and enjoy a slower life for a minute.
This property fit our needs perfectly. We enjoyed the pond to fish and the kids caught about 10 bluegill. It rained but we could still be outside under the covered deck. The privacy and owner communication was great and we will definitely be back!
We had a family wedding in the area and had our family traveling in from Colorado and Dallas. We definitely needed three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Layout of the house we perfect in size, no one felt crowded and open concept kept all included in conversations. Pond does have FISH in it!!! So excited to catch and release a few. Long private driveway was great for morning walks and talks to see some deer and plants. Nighttime had us stargazing. Would love to rent this again in the future.
When we pulled up to the property it looked like a beautiful serene place to be but as we got closer we noticed the grass around the pond, house, and fire pit was grass high to your keister...so couldn't sit around the fire pit or fish around the pond for fear of snakes! Called the owner and he got it taken care of pretty quickly even offered a free day for the inconvenience. Had a slight problem with adjusting the ac but again the owner was available right away to help. The bed downstairs was very uncomfortable and my friends who stayed upstairs said the same about theirs epton was the most uncomfortable I've slept on

Girls weekend
We all live close to, or in, Austin.
Love to get away for a long weekend!
Property was nice but lacking in some ways. Keurig was broken and kitchen supplies were lacking. Most of the coffee cups were chipped and not enough dishes. There was a storage closet in the hallway and supplies were not organized. There were clothes in the closets, the windows were filthy. We had a fun weekend and will definitely use VRBO but would not return to this property. I had found this on the website and took some grief from my fellow travelers.
This home was well appointed, comfortable, great amenities and, yes, we caught and released fish in the pond. Everyone in our party was very happy with the location as it was just an easy drive into Lockhart and the City and State Parks. We look forward to many more vacations here.
