This place was a great stay for our family. Check in was a breeze, everything was nice and clean, and it’s in a great location. Close to lots of little restaurants and bars and a very short drive to the grocery store and river. We enjoyed our stay!

Location was great and clean. Check-in had a hiccup with getting combo for door correct. After dozens of phone calls, we did finally get in. And the host worked with us on late checkout because of the issue, so that was good.

Quick trip

Took my son for an academic event at Texas State. The location was fantastic and allowed us to get good rest before his event. The home was comfortable. We really only got to enjoy the place for sleep but were very pleased.

Super cute

I rented this home as a gathering place for my family after my son’s graduation. It was smaller than it looked in the pictures and I was not aware at first of the limitations on parking, but it was super cute and worked well for our purpose. The double bed was not comfortable for two adults used to sleeping in a king but that was expected. Great location within walking distance (1 mile) from the campus. Would have enjoyed the fire pit if it hadn’t rained, but we did enjoy the covered patio and corn hole boards.
