Bo and Natalie were great hosts!
Would definitely book here again!
Although this area of Texas is in extreme drought and the river is almost non-existent, this property is a quiet and peaceful get-away. Too many trees to use the telescope successfully but the birding is spectacular. The property owners are very helpful and kindly left eggs from their hens for us.
