Amy is a fantastic host. She has a gift for creating a space that is both elegant and relaxing. When you walk in your first impression is “Oh WOW!” But you quickly realize that the WOW factor has also incorporated a homey feel. There is plenty of space for everyone to spread out and gather together. Amy has thought about supplies that you might need. She even provided items for your dog to relax and unwind. Amy is easy to contact and quick to respond.Our family highly recommends staying here if you are ever visiting Georgetown TX.
