Perfect Vacation

This home is beautiful! We woke every morning to deer grazing in the back area overlooking the pool. The view from the home is amazing. The accommodations made for a perfect stay were more than we could have asked for. Comfortable beds, modern appliances, spacious rooms! The communication with management was amazing. They always answered any questions we had. I look forward to making this place an annual vacation spot.

Girls Trip 2025

Beautiful property and abundance of amenities. Loved the coffee bar, and all the little extras like popcorn & candy in the upstairs tv room, and plentynof pool towels in the laundry room cabinets. Host was very easy to communicate with and accommodating with our concerns. There were a couple of things not working, and he was able to get someone to come out to fix them in a very timely manner. This made our stay very enjoyable. Definitely recommend this property.

They thought of almost everything here!

Our kids loved the pool, hot tub, and slide! Numerous little things that we wished for at other places were included here: clothes hanging rack, clothes baskets, flossing sticks, cotton swabs, extension cords, instructional videos, and too many different things, to name just a few. The kitchen was terrific, too! There was a coffee bar with many syrups, creamers, and S'mores stuff. We wish we could live here year-round!

Beautiful House for a special trip

This house is exactly as it appears in the pictures! Probably even better! Seven of us stayed here for my mom‘s 70th surprise birthday and everyone absolutely loved the house and amenities. It was too cold for the pool, but the hot tub was used and enjoyed. The few questions I had throughout the visit were answered quickly. Would love to come back to stay again!

Great stay in Harker Heights!

This was probably the best VRBO experience we've had. The house and backyard were beautiful, and the neighborhood was nice. Check-in and communication were seamless (plus there's a handy ipad with videos of things like running the pool to turning on the lights). The house was spotlessly clean and was exactly as we expected it to be based on the listing. Thanks for opening your house up to us, and if we ever the occasion to come back to Central Texas, we'll make sure to stay again!
