This home was comfy, historic, and fun. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was functional, and the back yard was great for hanging out. The kids enjoyed the pool even though it was kind of cold at the time of our trip. Kevin and Pammie Jean the peacocks were beautiful! We learned about the home’s history and that was very interesting. The hosts were great, wonderful and fast communication from before booking until after we left. We would definitely recommend staying here! Thank you!

Wonderful, very roomy, older house with antiques and lots of mystique. The bedrooms were roomy and beds were very comfortable. The pool has a ramp and steps, and has a truly deep section. The grill has both gas and charcoal/wood capabilities. Communication with the host was a pleasure. I will definitely use this place again.

Visiting family

We chose this location because it was close to our family. Great choice!!! The house had EVERYTHING we needed. The beds were so comfortable. The sheets were the best surprise, not starchy at all! The pool was a nice addition to those hot Texas days. So refreshing to relax in the pool. Enjoyed watching Kevin the peacock. The owners were great communicators and very fast to respond! Close to shopping and restaurants. Would definitely book again!

Fun.....Fun.....Fun....

My family thoroughly enjoyed the Kaspar House. We enjoyed reading the history and sharing in the mystery. The pool was amazing. The peacock and chickens fun (we didn't realize until our last day that they could've roamed free in the yard). Peter and Mike were super friendly and responsive to our needs. I would love to stay again.

Wonderful experience!!

Probably one of my best VRBO experiences!! Hosts were amazing and very attentive to any requests we had. Pool was very refreshing, landscaping was like an oasis, it was hard to go inside. This historical home was comfortable and tastefully decorated. We had 10 family members join us for an outdoor lunch, many outdoor seating areas with tables. We all loved the pool!! If I was in area again, would definitely stay there!

Second Visit

This was our second visit. We brought our grandchildren - two separate groups, two different age ranges. Both groups loved it. We booked because it has a pool, but it has so much more. I would like to come back with adults to enjoy the house itself. Love the sun porch! And we took the kids to Austin. Easy access.

A delightful house and a backyard delight!!

This unique home was a fun retreat and the backyard was a delight. My husband and I got to spend several nights here with my brother/wife and sister/husband for a mini-family reunion. We enjoyed looking at all the special art pieces and items all around the house. The backyard was so peaceful and the pool was refreshing. The kitchen met all our needs as we cooked several meals there. Both owners were very attentive and responsive to our questions and to all our needs.. We would surely rent this property again.
