The room was very clean and comfortable. Our kids (ages 6, 8, and 10) had a great time playing catch and flying a kite in the open space in front of the house.We were able to relax as a family and truly enjoyed a wonderful holiday.We also appreciated the friendly communication with the host before the trip, and our children especially enjoyed interacting with the animals.

short stay in Hico
The stay was ok, not great but ok. I must admit it was a tiny house and my expectation should have been lowered by that fact. Hico is a rustic area of Texas. One issue with the property was that we arrived in the dark. I didn't have a clear understanding of where the house was and the property was dimly lit. We were required to park approximately 40-50 yards from the house. Unpacking in the night was cumbersome. Also where we were to park was a sign stating watch out for snakes, which would difficult to do in the dim light. Ok, it is December and the snakes aren't usually out but a little unnerving none the less. On the bright side, the owner was very responsive to our needs and concerns.
