Thank you so much, Kathleen! We truly appreciate the wonderful review. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’re so glad you enjoyed the home and your stay. We always want our guests to feel comfortable and well taken care of. We would absolutely love to welcome you back anytime!
The Perfect Family Getaway!We had the most wonderful stay! The house was absolutely beautiful, spotless, and so thoughtfully decorated. Everything about the home had such a relaxing, welcoming feel, and the gorgeous, secluded grounds made it feel like a true escape.The heated pool was a huge hit with our kids, and my husband and I loved unwinding in the hot tub. The owners were absolutely fantastic! They were incredibly attentive and quick to respond to any questions we had. When the hot tub had a little trouble one evening, the owner actually came out to the house to fix it himself. That level of care and hospitality really stood out to us!The entire property was just lovely, with the perfect combination of comfort, privacy, and beautiful surroundings. It was exactly the peaceful little getaway our family needed. We made some wonderful memories and would absolutely stay here again. Can’t recommend it enough!
The house and its location are amazing. It is in a secluded area, but not so far that you’re completely away from restaurants, grocery stores, and everything thing else that Salado has to offer. The backyard is the perfect place to watch college football on the outdoor tv, while cooking out and enjoying a fire. There is a ping pong table and corn holes boards for entertainment as well. The hot tub and pool were clean and well maintained. Make sure you ask to have the hot tub heated about 30min prior to when you get in. There are a bunch of pool toys here, so there’s no need to pack them for your trip. The inside of the house was beautiful! Everything is clean, comfortable and well maintained. I can’t wait to come back and enjoy another peaceful, long weekend here.
Wonderful property! Very comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

The house was perfect for our family! The pool was beautiful! The kitchen was large and pristine. The rooms were so nice and we slept well in the comfy beds. I really can not say enough about how perfect the place was for our family! The huge island in the kitchen had plenty of space for all of our snacks and cooking. The AC worked perfectly! So many beach towels for us to use for the beautiful large crystal clear swimming pool. A very large back yard with plenty of shade for enjoying the hot day! And our hosts were phenomenal, very accommodating and immediately responsive. We had absolutely no problems during our stay. It really could not have been better. Thank you so much!

Home was exactly what we needed for our vacation. We had 4 adults and 3 kids under the age of 6. It was close to all the activities we wanted to do, but also had a back yard oasis that made it very enjoyable to just relax at the property.

It sits in a rural, peaceful setting on acreage. It is perfectly, tastefully decorated, snacks were provided, it was spotlessly clean, our dogs loved the large fenced back yard as did we. The pool was relaxing to meditate by, the host was responsive and helpful... We will certainly stay again!

This property is exactly how it is listed. Beautiful inside and out. The kitchen has everything you need, except groceries. Stores are not too far. Beds were very comfortable. The pool is beautiful and very nice. The hot tub is pretty sweet too. The owners were very prompt with communication. Quickly to respond with any requests or questions. I was there with my sister to decompress for a week. And it was the perfect place to do so!!! I will definitely stay there again my next time to Texas. Thanks Kelly & Kelly for allowing us to stay at your beautiful cottage. I’d give 10 ’s if I could!!!

We traveled here with family to enjoy the area over spring break. It was a quick trip to the lake, and into town to experience the history of the region. Our family enjoyed spending most of our time outside with the beautiful layout of the property.
The wonderful amenities fit all of our families needs during our stay. From the local suggestions for places to visit during our stay to the large private pool everything exceeded our expectations. My family and I are already looking forward to staying again.
Great property! Location is private, but one hour from Waco and Austin. Salado is a unique small town to explore. Belton and Temple offer plenty of dining options and activities. The house is well appointed and the pool, with hot tub, is a wonderful bonus! Our hosts were wonderful and checked in on us even though they were out of the country.

Theresa, you were absolutely wonderful guests—I just realized I forgot to leave your 5‑star review last year. So sorry about that! I promise I won’t wait a year this time 😊. Really excited to host you and your daughter for her 17th birthday!
We enjoyed our stay. It was very clean and taken care of. Communication was amazing with the host. The house is very cozy and the backyard was a place of relaxation.
Home was very nice and very updated. They exceeded in having everything you would need with games, ping pong, floaties for pool. Kitchen and bathrooms also well stocked.
The house was wonderful and Salado was beautiful. We traveled around in the mornings and enjoyed the pool in the afternoon. The kitchen was well equipped and became our hangout spot if we were not outside by the pool. Communication with the host was great!
Great place with really nice pool and hot tub. Super clean & comfortable. Super communications for super accommodations. Most thoughtful host ever. Lots of privacy too. Wish we could live here full time. We sure love the area.
