Cozy and adorable acreage retreat

We absolutely loved our stay and the hosts were so kind. The house was so cute, clean and setup with everything we needed. We enjoyed spending time on the deck and hanging out on the dock. Our labs and us absolutely loved all the space to roam and walk.

Peaceful Retreat

This property was exactly what we needed for this trip! We will definitely be returning. It was minutes away from the Sherwood Forest Faire and a great place to relax in between attending the festival. Everything from the dog welcoming committee, the human host, and the gorgeous property were just splendid. By far the best host I've ever had.

Mini Vacation

Our stay was incredible! We were so happy to have found this amazing home and land. It was so peaceful and so much fun, the pond was a great way to cool off, the fire pit with the stars above was relaxing and the dogs brought smiles to our faces. We can’t wait to return.

Secluded Stay with 5 Star Hospitality

We really enjoyed staying here while shopping during the Round Top Fall Antique Week. The place is not far from all the activity and is a nice retreat from all the people. The owners are very attentive and make sure you have everything you need. There is plenty of space and we loved waking up to a beautiful view and some friendly pups coming by to say good morning. We recommend staying here!

Awesome weekend getaway

Fabulous property, caught some fish in the pond (including one on the first cast!), kids loved swimming in the pond. The Host was awesome and we will recommend this spot to our friends for the future. Outstanding stay and wonderful host! We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Lee County Texas.

Sisters' Getaway

The property was beautiful and had everything we needed! It was a cold, cold, wet weekend but we were snug and warm. It was so close to town that we ran over for a couple of meals and a little shopping. I've stayed at other facilities and what I really appreciate about this one is that we didn't have to pay a cleaning fee and then be directed to clean the house! Very easy, reasonable instructions to simply strip the beds we slept in. The hosts could not have been more accessible, accommodating and kind. We hope to come back during warmer weather and take advantage of the pond and outside spaces. Thanks for a lovely weekend!

Perfect getaway

The best thing about this place is everything! The antique-filled farm house has everything you need to stay cool and cozy. My teens loved the dock and pond. We even had a 4-legged visitor who would hang out with us down at the dock. The owners were amazing and went above and beyond. We are grateful for our stay and memories there.

Quiet, Clean and Comfortable

Just what we need. Quiet, Clean and Comfortable. We go to Giddings twice a year for three days and this place is just what we needed to unwind and the end of a hard day. The owners were great at responding to any questions we had before arriving. We will be staying here next time for sure.
