Rowlett Ranch Respite
While the pictures of this listing look lovely, the real thing is better. We arrived for a family reunion weekend, over the Christmas holidays, and the home was beautifully decorated and very clean. The home had a well-furnished large kitchen, walk-in food pantry, walk-in butler’s pantry and large laundry room. Common areas provided lots of seating, both inside and outside. The bedrooms were huge, and had comfortable bedding and mattresses. The bathrooms had plenty of room and both had enclosed toilet areas. The closets also provided lots of room to stow luggage, gear and clothing, out of eyesight. The bunk room was perfect for the grandchildren, and provided a place for them to gather, as well as a retreat from the adults, but still in earshot. There was also a small office with lots of tourist destinations available for planning activities. The WiFi worked great, as did the 2 large TVs.
The property boasts lots of wildlife, including grazing deer and neighboring goats. We enjoyed the goats in the mornings, as they provided lots of humorous head-butting and posturing.
We appreciated the house managers’ communication regarding the home, local activities and nightlife. The first thing we received after booking, was an electronic booklet outlining local shopping, personal needs, all local emergency contacts, and some tourist destinations. Whenever we had questions, we had quick responses from very positive and friendly managers. We hope to come back for a return stay.
