First time staying at this house outside of the Lajitas property and we were very pleased. The location is fantastic and the views from the home are stunning. Although the house is dated, it’s well equipped, clean and met all our needs. We would definitely come back and stay again. Our hosts were very reachable and communicated with us timely. We encountered zero issues with the rental.
