We just had an unbelievable weekend with our grandkids at this VRBO. The property and home are beautiful. We were in awe the moment we drove through the gate. The home is very clean and well furnished. We had everything we needed. It is peaceful and there are so many things to do. We swam in the pool, went on nature walks, fished in the pond and played lots of games. Our grandson caught his first fish….in fact he caught five fish and said it was his favorite part of the weekend. Lezlie was so sweet and very responsive. We definitely plan on returning. We highly recommend this VRBO!Gary and Donna Moore Oklahoma City, OK

Great stay!

The pictures don’t do this place justice! The whole family enjoyed it. We fished, swam, cooked, enjoyed the peace and quiet, and slept well. Everything we could have needed was there. It truly is a wonderful place and we all want to go back for another stay. Lezlie was responsive and a great host:) Book it and enjoy!

So glad we found this place!

Spent a wonderful long weekend here with family and friends. It was the perfect place to stay for Roundtop/Warrenton shopping. Nice, clean, comfortable and so many special touches. Host and hostess were quick to respond to our needs and questions, and they were always so gracious to us (even when we locked ourselves out of the house). Would definitely go back!

Came to La Grange for a wedding and wanted a place close to the town, yet quiet. This place did not disappoint! We had everything we needed and room to spread out with all the bedrooms and multiple gathering rooms. Loved the cattle next to the property, too!

Rare find!

Our group has been girl tripping for 20 years and the Smiling Fox is our favorite spot. Lovely home, pool, and setting. Best stocked VRBO we’ve ever stayed in. Welcoming and helpful host. When 7 retired teachers have no complaints, you know it’s a gem!

We booked to stay in the area during the Round Top Antiques market. it was nice to get away from the craziness of Round Top at the end of the day. We enjoyed the layout of the house - there was room for working, dining and relaxing. we also enjoyed all the art pcs around the house - . the bonus were the deer on the lawn in the morning and the longhorns at the end of the driveway. so fun!! Lezlie was super easy to communicate with . we would love to come stay here again.

Great Place for Girls Long Weekend

We really loved this property! The weather could have been better but that didn’t stop us from enjoying ourselves. The owners were quick to respond to any questions/requests we had. We exchanged Christmas gifts early and had a nice surprise to find the owner had made us little Christmas stockings filled with little goodies.

Peaceful country place

Our family all enjoyed this lovely place in the quiet country side but close to LaGrange for shopping or eating out. Check out the small town of Winchester and eat at Murphy’s steakhouse. Excellent. The pool was so nice and clean and the grandchildren loved it. Thank you Leslie for your hospitality and checking on us to see if we needed anything. I recommend this lovely place to anyone wanting to relax and enjoy peaceful serenity. ❤️

Family Christmas gathering

The house and space was the perfect place for our family gathering. The house was just as described. Very spacious, beautiful pool and surrounding land. Watched deer pass through the yard every evening. We loved the eclectic decor, and the spacious, comfortable and clean bedrooms and bathrooms. There was plenty of room for all. Leslie was very attentive at check-in, during our stay, and on departure. If you’re looking for a secluded, yet close to town, cozy and spacious home to rent, look no further.

Plan to return!

Private setting. Best outfitted home we’ve ever stayed in our 20 years of girl trips. Beds comfortable. Sparkling pool. The only neighbors we saw were deer and long horn cattle. The owner was helpful, prompt with requests, and unobtrusive . This was our second time to stay at the Smiling Fox Den, but it won’t be our last. We are all grateful to have discovered this gem.

Great Friends Getaway

We had a wonderful long weekend at Lezlie's ranch house. We spent most of our time in the beautiful backyard and pool. It was perfect for socializing and enjoying the beautiful scenery, which included longhorns, deer and rabbits! The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals and snacks. House comfortably slept seven adults. This is a great place to relax and simply enjoy being with family and friends. Thanks, Lezlie, for being so helpful. We'll be back!
