The well-manicured and maintained property is back away from the road and shaded by large, beautiful oak trees (with a little treehouse the kids loved). We enjoyed watching the cattle roam through the wildflowers in the pasture next door and the semi-private, long driveway was perfect for walks, riding bikes, driving RC cars, and searching for lightning bugs (we saw a few!).
The house was charming and had everything we needed. We arrived to milk in the fridge, ice in the freezer, and a basket of snacks on the counter. The bathrooms were well-stocked with fluffy, soft towels and extra toiletries. The beds were comfortable and the pillows were also nice - not flat or lumpy like some hotels. I loved the quirky things that come with old houses - the floors, the doors, the original windows - a few interior doors wouldn’t close all the way, but everything was in good repair and we had no problems. It was really neat to see old pictures of the house and how it has changed!
This was the simplest check-in process we’ve had and when I requested to add an extra night and the cottage behind the house just days before our arrival, the host responded very quickly. We had a great time fishing and swimming at Blanco State Park (8 minutes away), exploring LBJ State Park (a gorgeous 30 minute drive), and touring Natural Bridge Caverns (about 45 minutes away). Overall, a great experience!
