Wonderful escape

The house itself is very comfortable— several seating areas with plush sofas and nice bedrooms. The property feels like a private oasis. Thick gardens, chirping birds, and owls create a beautiful outdoor space where kids and adults can enjoy a relaxing paradise. The house is a marvel of old Texas architecture, and it is decorated thoughtfully.

Best place to gather the family

The large family area and fabulous kitchen makes gathering the family simple and easy. We cooked meals together with cleanup super easy with the 2 dishwashers and 2 refrigerators. The extras of pool table and air hockey kept everyone entertained. We will definitely stay again!

Very large and somewhat disjointed home, however a large group would be will handled. Our group of 6 had dwindled to a group of only 4. Great location and good restaurants close by. We enjoyed being close to Traders Joes for a quick meal.

Great Place!

This place is an awesome place to stay for your vacation! The location is about 15 minutes from the airport, Six Flags, and Downtown/Riverwalk. The house is spacious with plently of rooms to give everyone their own space. The pool is one of the best I have seen at any property. AC and WiFi all worked well and the game room was awesome for the kids. I would highly recommend this place and stay here again!
