The good: super quiet, relaxing, covered patio, hot tub, grill, fire pit, fishing, paddleboat, canoe, volleyball, big TV, comfy couch/beds, big kitchen, plenty of seating, less than a mile off the highway, 10min from the grocery store in Van, 20min to berry picking farm, and 90min from Dallas
The not so good: many wasps near fishing dock and children's playground, maid missed cleaning all the dead flies/wasps behind the TV and the hair in the tub/shower drains, check pots/pans for cleanliness before using (black specks = 18 eggs ruined, trip to the store, and a very late breakfast), knives could use sharpening, no paring knives (we bought some and left them), no salt/pepper (we bought some and left them), no cold water on far sink in the hall bath, 3rd & 4th bedrooms are loft-style (less privacy) and open to the living area, stairs to 3rd & 4th bedrooms are pretty steep (not for the elderly) and no bathroom upstairs, Keurig listed in appliance section of rental paperwork but there wasn't one, nowhere to hike/walk around the property without feeling like you are intruding on the owners' space, most of the land is cordoned off for horse/cow pastures
Overall, we had a great time and would consider coming back for a weekend again. Thanks, Lori!
