Please only access the house, the yard immediately surrounding the house, or the driveway. Guests may occasionally see from the porch the resident chickens roaming about on insect patrol or strategically hiding eggs in the shrubs. Our guesthouse also features 2 horses that were rescued from slaughter, they may look over the fence and smack their lips at you beckoning you to feed them a treat. Please do not approach or feed any of the resident animals as they all have special needs/diets that must be maintained.

This system has several holding tanks throughout the property. Guests can see from the porch there is an Aeromotor Windmill beyond the barns that can be utilized in the event of a power outage to maintain our animal's well-being.

This house was perfect for my daughter and me on our girls weekend. It was clean, quiet, and very comfortable. We loved walking around the property and looking at the garden. Would stay there again!
We loved our stay! It was clean, spacious, and close to all the everywhere we needed to go. Owners were responsive and super easy to communicate with. We'd definitely stay again!
Very nice house. Clean and it was as pictured and described. 15 minutes from Georgetown main drag restaurants Owner very kind and communicative. Would definitely stay here again!!
We loved staying in this wonderful country home. We were in town for the Two Step Inn festival in Georgetown and had the best stay. The owners were very accommodating and responsive.
The property was exactly as described and more. Peaceful back porch to enjoy morning coffee on and just take in the views of the countryside. Just a short drive in town or stay in town and enjoy a couple local spots. Will be putting this spot on the list to enjoy again.
This home was very peaceful & nicely decorated! My friend & I enjoyed the views, the neighborhood et
We road over from Louisiana with my friend’s sister to visit her grandson.. she also visited briefly, joining us enjoying the front porch with a cup of coffee….
We loved this little old farm house, equipped with games to play as a family and a large table we could all eat at. We also enjoyed the original details such as built in cabinetry and covered porches. The owner was very accommodating and we had a great time visiting with family.
Had a short amount of time to get a little stress relief and visit with an old friend. Your home did not disappoint. Would love to return again sometime.
Everything in the VRBO description was accurate, right down to the horses! It’s a very comfortable and well appointed home. And the hosts were very responsive. I asked if there was a gas grill on the property (I didn’t see one in the description), so they went out and bought one! And the steaks tasted great! Beautiful weekend home!
It was so nice to stay out away from the busyness and noise of Georgetown, Round Rock and Austin yet Georgetown and Round Rock are 10 - 15 minutes away. Walburg is a cute and small town. The views from the back of the house and the back porch were pastoral and relaxing. The house affords plenty of room for multiple people and long stays. The host was helpful and responded quickly to all of our questions.
