Great house and location!

We had the best time at Lookingglass! The home was within 2 minutes of the Guadalupe. We had plenty of room, deer came to visit every day and the hosts were great! We would go back again in a second!

House was as pictured. Plenty of room for everyone, ac worked great even in 100 degree weather, fire pit is nice, hot tub was clean. Kitchen was well stocked. Location was nice, close to where we like to float the river at. The daily deer visits were a big hit with the kids. We will be back!

The house did not disappoint! Lots of room for a big family and everything we needed. The owner was extremely helpful helping us plan activities for our stay. The kids loved the Koi Pond and the visits from the family of deer. We will definitely be back. Thank you for helping us make a great family memory!

The property was very large with plenty of space to host 12 people. There was not one time where we were on top of each other. It was conveniently close to The Preserves Wedding Venue.
