Great getaway!

This home was a perfect retreat for a girls’ trip. Spacious, comfortable beds, great sunrise and sunset views, and curious cows across the way. Loved it!Highly recommend!!We’ll be back again!!
Response from VrboOwner on 19 Nov, 2025
I am so glad you enjoyed your stay. I did forward the comment about the toilet paper to my housekeeper. Not sure what happened there? I know she usually does have extra rolls out. In addition there should’ve been a whole drawer full of kitchen towels, so not sure what happened there either. I’m very sorry for any inconvenience and I’m looking into it. I agree the Texas sunsets and sunrises are beautiful over the pond. Thank you for your review and happy to hear you’re coming back.

The property was very well maintained and very quiet. The kitchen was fully stocked, the bedrooms met everyone's needs, and the living room was arranged nicely for visiting and watching TV.

Nice location

Near enough Lake Tawakoni to be convenient but far from neighbors. Nice big cabin with plenty of room and amenities. Property manager was great to work with and help us out. Will plan to stay again.

Peaceful stay!

The house is better than the pictures. The host was super helpful!If you want a quiet place to get away this is it! The setting is rural but close to everything you need!If you like to fish…even better.

Peace and solitude

This was a wonderful spot away from everything but close enough to run into town for lunch. The bed was nice and comfortable and the house was a good size. The view of the stars at night was amazing. I was very pleased with the location and accommodation.

Great stay

The only complaint was the muddy driveway, but that’s only expected after a week of rain. We had a great time with the family. Cute property with a stocked pond that the kids enjoyed.

Beautiful property

House nice and bed in master bedroom was comfy. The only issue was the scorpions and huge spoders in the master bath.

From the Owner: "I am glad the bed was comfortable. I am surprised and sorry about the scorpion. We do keep the place sprayed for spiders and such. I am not sure what happened here. I have never had scorpions in this home. I will be looking more closely at this situation."

Perfect Hidden Getaway!

This place was awesome! The home was spotless. Plenty of room and comfortable. The outside has a catch and release fishing pond which my husband really appreciated. The surroundings are gorgeous and calming. The owners were extremely responsive and helpful. I absolutely would return.
