We just returned home after a 5 day stay at Cypress Flats where we enjoyed ourselves greatly. The house & furnishings are not high styling, but they're just right for a family or group that doesn't want to worry about things getting broken or dirty. It's perfect for a creek-side home.
The house is essentially two long rectangles, like a shoe box divided the long way, on two different levels. You enter into the kitchen. On the right is a smallish bedroom with a queen size bed & an ample closet. Outside this room is a modest size bathroom. Next is the kitchen & eating area & on the far left is a large master with a king size bed & a large bathroom.
The second rectangular space is about 4 feet lower. It consists of two areas: the sun porch - a large room with 5 twin beds & plenty of floor space - and a large dining & living area. These two areas are joined with a doorway & each area has a set of stairs leading to the upper part of the house.
The kitchen has just about everything you could want: plenty of dishes, glasses, & silverware for a crowd. There is a Kuerig, which is a treat. The owner, Lori, keeps the kitchen stocked with spices, oil, S&P, ketchup, mustard, salad dressing, & other staples that are nice to have but annoying to pack. The dishwasher works well. There were ample towels, washcloths, & kitchen cloths. She even left a basket of beach towels, bubbles, & flip flops, plus a gift of wine, cheese, and crackers. Lori & her husband live in Kerrville and keeping guests happy is clearly a priority.
There is a shed with every type of float you can imagine plus two kayaks, a blow up canoe, & paddles. We really enjoyed feeding the fish off the dock. My 13 year old had a great time fishing because those greedy fish would grab hold of anything. Right around the dock, the water is probably 5 feet. The water is SO CLEAR. You can literally see to the bottom like it's a glass of water from the tap. Snorkeling stuff would be fun if you have it.
WiFi works great. Cell reception was sketchy. I think there was a TV in every room, but we only watched a couple of DVDs in the living room.
The nearest grocery store is HEB in Kerrville about 20 minutes away.
We thought the tap water tasted bad & stocked up on jugs of water from the store.
There is a washer & dryer in the shed plus laundry soap.
We didn't have young kids with us but there is a high chair & a baby gate that can block off the steps to the living room. There is no bathtub.
