Great place
Great location! Response to a problem was super quick. Every unit could use a full length mirror. We have stayed in several over the past years.

The place was nice size for a couple. The shower did not work and the toilet seat was cracked. Even with these minor flaws the location and property was excellent. Would recommend.

Thank you for your feedback and for staying with us! We’re glad you enjoyed the size of the home and the location. We sincerely apologize for the issues with the shower and toilet seat, and appreciate you bringing them to our attention. We've checked that the shower is in working order, but the multi-lever handle is a bit tricky. We've also replaced the toilet seat. Your input helps us improve for future guests, and we’re glad that overall you had an excellent stay and would recommend the property.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
Not clean, odor on comforter, and hair on pillows and comforter, and in shower. Thermostat can only be set to 70 and it was incredibly hot—ceiling fan only has a low speed and medium speed.

We also appreciate guests helping us be energy conscious and not set the AC below 70, especially during the hot Texas summer months. We’re grateful when guests help us be mindful of energy use, and we hope this didn’t impact your visit too much.
Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you under even better conditions in the future.
