A little confusing to find the entry gate when first arrived but it was a beautiful place to spend a few days for R&R. The castle was beyond our expectations. Elise was a wonderful host. She responded to all of our questions in a timely manner.

Overall stay was great and we enjoyed the property. My only suggestion is to review your information that's posted for accuracy. The directions and the check out times read differently in different places. Said check out was at 11pm and the address sent us to the gate next door. It was a little confusing trying to find the emails with the right information again. We are in Texas and still summer time hot the bedroom did not cool down at 70 at night so it was very hot us for us. Luckily, we brought our tower fan. I would recommend putting a town fan or different settings for summer vs winter. We will definitely book again during the winter! Other than that everything was amazing. Kitchen definitely had everything we needed during the stay. Property was beautiful and the view was the best part. The host was VERY responsive! We enjoyed spending our anniversary here! Thank you--LaToria and Joseph (Sept 2026)

The view, especially at sunset is absolutely beautiful. With the gorgeous building and the view of the water, it felt like we were in the Mediterranean. The host was attentive, accommodating and kind. The space was clean, had everything we needed and then some. The parking was a little tricky for the unit we were in but definitely workable and absolutely worth it! It is in a neighborhood but close to great restaurants, grocery store and pharmacy. It was nice to be able to run quickly for things without having to sit in Austin traffic while being close enough to activities and points of interest to make it convenient.
