The entire stay was great. Very clean house, comfortable beds and two bathrooms were great. We needed to extend our stay by one day, contacted our host and within 10 to 15 minutes they had us taken care of us. Wonderful service and accommodations. We will be staying again.

Great house!
Loved the house! Wish we could have stayed an extra day to enjoy hanging out in Hico and maybe barbecuing in the fantastic back yard.

This was our second stay at this property. Just like the first time, everything was lovely. Very clean and well stocked. I will check this house before I look at other places to stay next time I’m in the area.

Welcome to our home. We're the Nguyens. This is our first weekend rental property and we hope you love it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

This house is a beautiful piece of history. A lot of love and hard work has gone into the home to preserve the historic feel without sacrificing any modern amenities. The original portion of the home was built in 1907. The original floors, shiplap, and a few doors we saved and preserved beautifully. I grew up in New Braunfels, TX where history and old homes are everywhere. This home reminded me a lot of my childhood.
