Short weekend to meet our soldier!

This was a fantastic meeting ground for us to meet our soldier halfway! The property was close to everything but also yet secluded enough for us to get the much-needed family time. Everyone had their space to relax, but also had great gathering spaces for us to play games hang out by the lake, fish and to catch fireflies. Core memories were made, and these were fantastic accommodations for our short time together.

Thank you so much for sharing this—it means a lot to know the property helped create such special memories for your family. We’re honored to have been a part of your time together and grateful for your soldier’s service. It’s wonderful to hear that everyone had space to relax and reconnect, and that you were able to enjoy the lake, fishing, games, and even catching fireflies. We’d love to welcome you back anytime for more memory-making moments!

The home was on a great location on the river! We all enjoyed the dock and floating out back, as well as close proximity to the Comal to float. Overall, the home just needs to be updated and some amenities upgraded. The consistent word among myself and friends was that the beds were all hard and/or uncomfortable. Also, time to pull up the carpet and put in something that can be sanitized easier. The house was plenty big, loved the big kitchen and table with plenty of seating. Just needs some TLC and updating.

Great Time

My wife and I and 4 other couples stayed here and had a great time. The house was big enough to accommodate all 10 of us and had everything we needed. The only complaint we had was the noise of the AC in one of the upstairs bedrooms. It sounded windy when the door was closed. Altogether we had a great time!
