Great house in a quiet spot

The house was just what we needed to see the total solar eclipse. The neighborhood was nice and quiet but close enough to stores and restaurants so we didn’t feel isolated. The house was clean and just what we expected.

Very nice,

This charming house was perfect for us. The 2nd Bdr a little small but cozy. The master bed and bath were wonderful! The water pressure kept me in the shower longer than usual! The backyard has delightful lighting for sipping wine and grilling! Easy parking, easy to get to and conveniently located to lots of restaurants and stores. Would definitely book again..

Great for a Family with dogs

We stayed here for 11 days with our 2 kids and 2 dogs. We loved the house and neighborhood. It was so quiet and secure, loved our evening walks. The owner was so personable and cared not only about our stay but also about us finding a place for us to live here in Texas. Will recommend this place to anyone that is looking to relax and enjoy amazing morning sunrises in a quiet beautiful home.

Escaping the cold!!

We were able to get an early check ahead of the storm. Thank you! Had a couple of very small issues while there which were resolved very quickly and efficiently. This is a beautiful home and was perfect for us. Looking forward to returning in the future and hopefully it’ll be available.
