The home is in a lovely setting, and the managers were friendly and helpful. The home needs a bit of updating in kitchen and bathrooms but the place is charming!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the location. It was a little smaller than we expected but worked for our family of 6. We served Thanksgiving dinner outside on the deck and it was beautiful. The deer met us every morning and each evening. You felt like you were out in the middle of nowhere when only a few miles outside of Austin.
The house has a lovely deck, though the stairs to get to the lower level are pretty scary, with nothing to indicate that they don't run the full length of the deck. The house was attractive and comfortable, but it lacked many of the usual amenities, such as salt and pepper or laundry detergent.
This trip was very unfavorable. We stayed in this property in Oct on last year and it was great. The management company was terrible, the grass was high, the house was really not cleaned, dried dog poop on the sun deck, both lights out in the bathroom and remained that way until we left, the floater vail was broken so water was dripping every time we went to the restroom and you couldn’t flush it, you had to wait for about 30 mins after you flushed it before flushing, they did get that fixed but the rest I made calls to the management co I was told every time we apologize for your inconvenience someone will contact you by 6:00pm and that still has yet to happen. I have pics to validate all of my charges When I made the reservations they never hesitated to collect my money. I will never rent that property again. Something should’ve been done to compensate me. This was our 47th Anniversary and I’m so done with the way things were handled. Very unhappy and displeased guest

Terrible smell leading to allergic reaction first 2 days of our stay No shampoo. Only conditioner Coffeepot but no coffee filters requiring an unexpected trip to buy filters 30 minutes away No table spoons Limited inventory requiring frequent dish washing HVAC system very loud and right next to the bedroom Unhelpful management when problems arose Mirror inbbathroom cracked Porch furniture in disrepair
Had a very nice trip, the place is cozy, my 5 year old nephew enjoyed sitting on the back porch in the morning to watch the deer, and trying to play Tennis at the courts right next to it Overall very nice place, comfortable, outdoor seating and a small grill is nice, location is near a small airport, but activity was around 2 planes a day while we were there Make sure you get enough groceries, its about 20-30 minutes to the store.
My family really enjoyed it. We’ll be sure to book it again for future vacations.
The property was great with lots of trees, deer, a gray fox, chalet type construction and very well stocked with necessary items. The neighborhood is old but has a lot of new construction. The house we stayed in has been updated with really great appliances and lots of neat outdoor seating. We loved sitting out under the trees and on the front porch. We never spoke with the property manager at all. I don't think I even had a number to reach the owners or manager. Maybe VRBO takes care of everything. This is my first experience to lease a home through them. The instructions for entering and exiting the gated community and the house were clear though. The only complaint that I have is that the bathtub had not been cleaned. It had a ring around it and soap scum and hair around the drain. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to just get-away and relax. The deck had a very nice table and chairs and a buffet table so you could entertain if you chose to. We really enjoyed sitting out under the trees and watching the wildlife.
We went for a low key girls’ weekend. Lovely property with plenty of space. Back deck is perfect to relax unwind and admire the deer. Property is a little far from restaurants and grocery, so plan accordingly. Wonderful property!
