Amazing stay!

The house was beautiful, amazing decoration and the beds were super comfy. We stayed here during Xmas, so it even had Xmas decorations and a beautiful Xmas tree. Not only this, we were able to bring our pups, they had an amazing time. Albina, the owner, invited us to visit her ranch. My mom is still talking about it haha it was a great experience. Thank you guys!

Great Stay Away From It All

This was a fantastic, well-kept house to get away in central Texas. We stayed several nights and made day trips for college tours (UT, TA&M and others are about an hour away). We got a ranch tour and some TREMENDOUS farm-raised beef while staying here. The quiet spring evenings on the lighted back patio were magical. Would definitely return, and will be buying the meat regularly! Albina was a very responsive and welcoming host as well. Very easy to work with.
