Response from VrboOwner on 5 Jul 2025
Julia, Thank you for the rental! Jimm is a nice young man. He was always respectful and responsive. Having said that, I must say that he is also not a good housekeeper. He left the apartment a mess, nothing destructive, just messy and dirty. It probably just goes with being 18. Thanks, Bill

Beautiful Getaway

This place has all you need for a peaceful getaway, the grounds are so beautiful, I wanted to sleep outside. The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed. However we stayed outside most of the time, it was quiet except for all the East Tx birds singing. The employees are wonderful, the owner was very nice and quick to get back with me, for any questions I had. I wish I had more time to stay here. Hidden gem out in the country! Great place, 5 Stars for sure!
