Farm House Vacation Rental- In the heart of nature

KristenRating, 5 stars2 days ago

Pros: Chad definitely was a "Super Host": he was responsive, helpful, and friendly. I had accidentally booked my reservation to end a day earlier and he was very helpful about making sure I was able to extend without having to make a new reservation. House was very close to town center. It is well maintained and clean. Kitchen was spacious. Outside space is very family friendly with a nice porch and bbq area. Area is safe and picturesque. Good location in central Texas. Cons: House is older and has a few older house issues (doors stick, dated). Beds need to be updated. Overall, I WOULD stay here again.

The upstairs cottage was everything we needed and more! Russell and Nancy were beyond friendly and welcoming! Everything inside was so clean and comfortable!
