Peaceful Family Getaway

Absolutely beautiful piece of property with a wonderful home. The only issues we had with our trip was that it was extremely hot and the AC did not cool very fast since it is such a large house. It is a very quiet and nice place to get away from town. We enjoyed our stay!

The house was beautiful! There was plenty of room for all 14 of us to sleep, eat and play. We left some items and the property manager was so kind to let us know and to actually return them to our brother who lives nearby.

Team Building Trip

Property was very pretty, house was nice and spacious enough for group bonding and building. Overall a good rental, bathroom situation was not fully ideal for a group with teenage boys and girls but was easy to monitor and make use of. Curiosities were also peaked when lights in parts of the house were turned on after the group went to the river and returning to settle in for the night.

The house itself was beautiful. Do wish we had info about the gravel road being so steep just entering the property and that a small car would have a problem getting up the hill My sisters car slipping backwards was a horrifying experience for all of us as she was literally inches from going down the ravine We are very thankful to God that her life was spared and that the story ended well.

About the host

Hosted by Tina Watson

Host profile image
My greatest enjoyment comes from time spent with family in comfortable and beautiful settings both indoors and outdoors. When setting up my vacation rentals for guests that is exactly what I want to share with them!

Why they chose this property

This location at the edge of Hill Country TX has gorgeous expansive views with huge windows and a great covered patio. The location is very private and yet also just 10 min drive to Dinosaur Valley State Park and 15 min to the Historic Granbury Square!

What makes this property unique

This house can sleep up to 14 adults and 2 infants...there are 3 private bedrooms and a few common area sleeping spots for younger guests. It is the perfect home for extended family gatherings. The huge outdoor areas give everyone a chance to play a game on the lawn, ride kid bikes on the driveway or take a family walk on our private road. 3 bathrooms let everyone spread out at clean up time..and a large kitchen and indoor and outdoor dining spaces for family meals!
