The whole home made it so easy to bring our mother who's recently had a stroke. So wonderful not to be left out of vacation!

I'm so glad to hear that! It’s wonderful that the home made it easier for you to include your mother in the vacation. Thank you for sharing, and we hope to welcome you back soon!
This was a really nice home within walking distance to the Frio. Lots of space for two families, and a bunk room that was perfect for the kids. The indoor clubhouse was a big hit. The house is secluded from the road, and there were so many hummingbirds, butterflies, deer, and more. We went in late July and the Frio was high enough for us to stay cool and the kids to splash and explore. Overall a lovely experience!
The house is wonderful. Very pretty, huge windows, beautiful scenery. Kitchen was great, lots of room for numerous people and well equipped. Home was so clean. The play area with loft and slide was great for the kids. While adults are preparing meals the kids can be out there. They loved it. The water by the house was disappointing by the house. We have stayed in this area the past 3 years so have a favorite place at one of the water crossings. O.8 miles. Enjoyed it all. Cannot go wrong when renting this home.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re glad you enjoyed the house, especially the kitchen and play area for the kids. We appreciate your feedback about the water by the house; the water levels are usually 2-3 feet, but it does change with rain. Next time we hope that its higher for y'all! We look forward to hosting you again!
