The title says it all!Will book again. The location is really tough to beat. The only issue is that one room is very loud next to the AC. So, whoever ends up in that room needs to either sleep through a train, or bring ear plugs. Everything else is great!

Hi Y’all!
I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay & I had NO IDEA The AC unit was sounding like that!!! I came this weekend & today the AC Motor is being swapped out. My apologies - come back it will be quiet. Cheers
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. It was clean and well maintained. The bedrooms are spacious and the couches are inviting. The dining room table can seat a family with ease, too! We will be back!
Great location for a Hill Country trip. Plenty of room for my family of 4 and dog. House was very nice and comfortable. Plenty of room to host a big family.
Great location, the kitchen had every gadget and utensil you would ever need. clean, plenty of indoor and outdoor space. The beds were comfortable, very quaint. We loved our stay!

Awe Robin,
SUPER Kind, THANK YOU! Come back Again please, we loved having you.
Kind Regards,

Great location, plenty of room to spread out for mom, dad and two adult kids, wonderful oak trees - so much to do in the area that we didn't spend a ton of time at the house
We loved everything about the house. The only feedback we had is the patio is a huge selling point and it was full of leaves and the tables were covered in green stuff. We wanted to use it though, so we blew the leaves and cleaned off the table! We had a great time just hanging out there.

Hi Carol,
Thanks for staying with me! I apologize for the Hill Country pollen it comes in crazy waves during the storms. I’ll note this episode with our cleaning crew but I’m thankful you found the patio blower & made a good time after all!
This was such a perfect home for a group, family, couples getaway…3 decent size bedrooms. All beds were comfortable and the entire home was decorated in such a fun way. The back porch was a great spot for a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. Large dining table was a great place to have game night. The house is about 10 minutes from some very nice wineries. We also enjoyed the State Park and live music at the local restaurants. The home was very clean and nice and cool despite the warm summer weather. We will be back!
Walked into a welcoming home, put on a record, dropped stuff off into the huge (and so well-stocked!) kitchen, and we felt instantly comfortable at the Vagabonds.
The location is perfect for walking around Johnson City, and accessing a lot of nearby fun in Fredericksburg, at the LBJ State Park, and so much more.
The beds are very comfortable - we all slept really well. It was too chilly for us to hang on the big back porch, but the giant backyard was perfect for our little soccer players to kick a ball. The owner was super responsive and kind. We will definitely be back!
We had a great time staying at Vagabonds! Make sure to stop by Farmhouse Vineyards which is just a short walk from the house. The people were so great and the wine is fantastic. The location of this house couldn’t be better. Right down the street from Pecan Street Brewing. Lots of fun things to do and everything is close by. Wine tastings, Historical sites, National and State Parks—so much to do! Many places are Dog Friendly so we were able to include our furry family members in most all of our adventures. We had a great time and highly recommend Vagabonds. Thank you, Katy Jane, for welcoming us into your cozy, comfortable home.

Please visit us again Carlos, thank you for the lovely review!
The property is even more adorable in person! The host took care of everything and made us feel so welcome. From toys for dog/children (we had neither but so nice), to charcoal and lighter fluid for the grill. Speaking of which, we had a grilling connoisseur in our group who fell in love with the grill here! Also, there were so many great appliances! One in our group was so grateful for the crockpot.
The house is immaculately clean! Big applause for the housekeeping staff.
Lots of room for everyone and a great dining table for meals or games.
The backyard was very relaxing with the shady trees and all the outside cushions.
Overall the only suggestion from our group was to please sharpen the knives... seriously, that's the only picky thing we could think of! Wonderful stay, thank you so much for making our family vacation great!
P.S. Lovely visit to the Farmhouse Winery! Had a great time with the ladies there- very knowledgeable.

Hillary,
What a kind Review! We will happily Sharpen the Knives and THANK YOU for letting us know. We can't wait to host you again, hopefully!
Location, personality convenience and comfort. “Vagabonds” has it ALL! Johnson City is an ideal base of operations for your Texas Vacation and now that Katy Jane has opened her home to you, you are sure to be comfortable and cared for when you are ready to rest after a day of adventure.
The house is just as cute as it can be. The furnishings are both comfortable and whimsical. Look carefully, there is a treat around every corner. Influences from the Vineyard and the Farm run through this house with Texas Roots.
The Kitchen is well stocked with everything you would need from wine glasses, to pots / pans and even spices. Enjoy a fresh cup of coffee in the morning from the selection of Keurig coffee pods. The extra-large backyard is a peaceful oasis with some of the most beautiful Live Oak trees that I have ever seen.
Our host was always available and quick to respond to any questions we had. We were super comfortable and felt welcome and cared for. We look forward to returning to the Hill Country soon and will always be looking for “Vagabonds” on Pecan St. as our favorite place to stay.

This a beyond lovely review Reed! We look forward to having you back time & time again. Travel Safe & thanks for being such a detailed & thoughtful ambassador of our wine & now #Vagabonds!
I stumbled upon this listening at a last minute effort after exhausting VRBO listings for days. I was a little skeptical since it did not have any VRBO reviews that I could see. What a wonderful surprise we found when we arrived. The house was exactly as advertised with plenty of room & fresh paint . The floor plan has lots of hidden surprises; dining & storage space for those with larger families. The backyard was huge and perfect for morning coffee. The only drawback was at the time there were no outdoor furniture on the back patio (but I also know the owner is still working & adding new additions). We planned ahead & brought lawn chairs so it wasn’t a deterrent for us. There is however a full table & sitting provided on the front porch which we moved to one morning during the rain.
The mattress & bedding was great (which is something that often is lacking in many of the rentals I have done in the past). There is a full coffee bar stocked with morning treats and bottled water was waiting in the fridge upon arrival.
This house is off the Main Street but close enough to walk to local restaurants and square. Be sure you check out the owners winery storefront just a block away. Adorable place for an afternoon glass with outdoor seating and shopping.
We plan to return and rent again. Too much to do in the area for just a few days.

Debbie was so lovely to host. We actually spoke on the phone & I would welcome here again & again. She can’t come back soon enough.
Cozy house. Great backyard. Had all the amenities we needed. A great location for getting together with family for Christmas. Easy walk to the beautiful Christmas light display.
I enjoyed my stayed with my friends but the care and attention to customer service made this stay amazing. This place is amazing, the beds super comfortable, yard is beautiful, amazing decorated, and a great location.
This house was very comfortable for our family, which includes a 10 year and 6 year old boy, which can sometimes be hard to accommodate!
We instantly felt relaxed when we walked inside and the backyard was equipped with a really cool swinging bed!
Everything was in walking distance from the house, so we could get to the restaurants, several wineries, and even a kids Science museum in 10 minutes or less.
We will certainly be back!
Right when we walked inside, we were so impressed with this neat house. The decor was SO cute and the rooms were very comfortable! Plus, she had the best breakfast casserole and the most amazing raspberry cinnamon rolls for us, which we devoured :)
Location is right next to everything but also very quiet. We highly recommend you choosing this spot for your next trip!

Why they chose this property
Vagabond's spoke to me, I could hear Ms. Ava's laughter in the house and I love a home with history. This home was President Johnson's cousin Ava's house, she was a school teacher, an avid horse woman, wife and mother and people in town loved her. I felt that warmth in this house the moment I laid eyes on it, so I painted it black and made her my own. I can walk to work from here! It's perfectly located near our many winery clients in the area.
What makes this property unique
Centrally located for boating, hiking, wine tasting, antiquing, fishing, golfing or just relaxing with friends. It gets even better, we recently renovated a 1978 Airstream Trailer into our Wine Tasting retail location a mere block away. Your stay includes a tasting for 2. https://goo.gl/WMFWdi.
