The cottage was nice and secluded. There were lots of deer and Johnson city is adorable. There were lots of ants on the “porch” part of the property, lots were dead but they were still there, I am sure it’s just because it was hot and summer time in hill country. My only complaint is that the window unit was not enough to keep up and keep the cottage cool. The hosts were very communicative and everything we needed was available. We enjoyed our weekend there

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're so glad you enjoyed the peaceful setting, the wildlife, and your time exploring Johnson City. We also appreciate your kind words about our communication and that you found everything you needed during your stay. We appreciate you mentioning the ants and the cooling concerns. During the Texas summer, outdoor insects can certainly be more active, but we'll have our team take another look at the porch area. We'll also inspect the window unit to make sure it's operating as efficiently as possible during the hotter months. Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for another relaxing getaway.

A great stay

I think what impressed me most was how comfortable I felt in the living/sleeping area of this space during my three night stay. The kitchen and bathroom areas were also very good, and the location in Johnson City was just right. I definitely hope to return.
