The powder bath off the front living area has a hand crafted pecan vanity and a miniture farmhouse sink. A recently fully renovated hall bath includes a black porcelain 4'X6' walk in shower and 8' double sink vanity. Full size washer and dryers are available in the home.
Spend your mornings drinking coffee on the shaded 24’X16’ east deck as the sun rays cascade between the pecan trees and your evenings enjoying your favorite beverages in the backyard as the sunsets over the pasture. There is ample space for parking. There are two TVs with satellite connection to watch your favorite football team after a morning of hunting or afternoon of antiquing and wine tasting. Wifi is available for your convenience.

Brian -Glad you guys enjoyed your stay in our modest little country home with it’s little pecan orchard. I hope you come back soon, but let time PLEASE eat more pecans!
Dennis Banks
We found the home very clean, very well equipped and with beautiful handmade pieces of furniture. Dennis was so quick to respond to any communication that we sent to him. We highly recommend this home and will stay again ourselves if in that location.
The property owner, Dennis, was fantastic. Everything was handled in a thorough and professional and friendly manner. His handiwork with wood was evident throughout the house.

Quality VRBO
The property worked great for its intention. We were in Lometa for work and the property worked great housing myself and my crew. The house is clean but needs some maintenance which after talking to the owner sounds like it is already in the works. The communication with the property owner was terrific and I would stay at this property again.

Good news, we found a contractor and the main bathroom looks great. new pictures posted
We wanted to get out of the city for some quiet time and the “sawyer house” was the ticket. The sunrises shining through the pecan orchard were beautiful. We enjoyed watching hundreds of doves on the property eating the pecans. They would all take flight when we walked outside. The house was very comfortable and tastefully decorated. Every room has a touch of the owner’s craftmanship. The powder room vanity was so cute. I want the recently remodeled main bathroom in my house. The selection of large black tile was bold, but the room is bright and the few wood items softens the look.

Nice...with a disappointment
The house was decent. A few quirky things (like that the plates provided didn't fit in the dishwasher provided, so we had to hand wash them). We had a very disappointed 9yo when the owner admitted that the sheep (which were listed on the property as an amenity basically) were no longer there. We had been calling this property "the one with the sheep" for months and had mentioned when booking that this was a major draw for us.
Beds were comfortable. Plenty of space. Awkwardly small shower in mstr bedroom.
Overall, except for the sheep disappointment, it was ...fine.

Don't judge a house by exterior!
Stunning hand made wood furniture in the home. Beautiful! The inside of the house very well cared for, beautifully appointed with antiques, hand crafted furniture. Lovely. Very nice owner. On a pecan orchard. Beautiful property.
Great home to rent. Went with friends for a golf tournament in Lampasas and its a short drive between the 2 cities. Home is clean and updated on inside with a relaxing feel. Really enjoyed the stay.

Bret _ So glad we could accommodate you & your friends. I hope to see you again soon. The pecans start dropping in November. Stop by by and pick some!
Dennis-
We were in Lometa for our oldest son’s wedding. We were a group of two grandparents, 3 adult children, and two teenage grandchildren. The house was exactly as advertised. We had tons of room, the property was clean. We enjoyed the sheep and pecan trees. The furniture was fantastic. I’d highly recommend the property for a group.

We are glad you enjoyed your stay and the sheep. The sheep thank you for restocking the feed corn.
This is a spacious, relaxing, comfortable home. Very clean and had everything we needed. We stayed over Thanksgiving as this was a convenient location to visit family in both Lometa and Lampasas. The owner was accessible, friendly, and helpful. We enjoyed our stay will certainly book again in the future.
This property was very private and decorated with hand crafted furniture by the owner. I loved the live edge pecan furniture pieces in the house. Ideal house with larger groups. Great for any one wanting to experience Hill Country without the crowds. It was extra special to see a newly born lamb. There is a local winery within 10 miles and live music at Bend General Store. Dennis was great to work with.
