The house was amazing and Bonnie has done such a great job with the property. It was so inviting and our family weekend was so great. I recommend this property to anyone looking. It was a quick trip to the lake and surrounding restaurants.
Perfect house and location for a long weekend in the hill country. Our group of friends loved Bonnie’s house every one had a great time
We enjoyed our stay very much. It was a charming cabin and Bonnie was an extremely helpful host.
We brought the youth from our church for the weekend. Bonnie welcomed us on arrival. She even offered to take the kiddos out on her boat for the day. The kids had the most amazing time. They loved the bunk rooms, tree house and of course the row boat was a huge hit. The grown ups enjoyed morning coffee on the porch watching the sunrise. I can't wait to go back!
Our family had a wonderful time at the Pond House! Everyone enjoyed this property from my 81 yr. old mother to my 10 yr. old daughter. The home is decorated very nicely and is very comfortable. There is so much attention to every detail. The additional upstairs coffee station is a very nice touch! The pond and all of the gardens and outdoor decor create a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. The hostess was always available and willing to help, even though she had just experienced a terrible loss. A lovely vacation. Thank you, Bonnie
We really enjoyed our stay at the Pond House. It was beautifully decorated & very cozy. The grounds are also very relaxing. Our only complaint, and it's minor, is that there really isn't great lighting in the master bathroom. Great place to stay - even with a large group.
We could not be happier with our recent visit to the Pond House. The house was very clean and comfortable and provided ample space for our family. We enjoyed sitting outside by the pond and relaxing on the large porch. Bonnie has an eye for detail and has made this a very special home that we looking forward to visiting again!
The property itself was well maintained and felt like being at home. Bonnie, went above and beyond to welcome us and was available for any questions concerning area attractions and places to visit. We had 8 people and there wasn't a shortage of beds or room for everyone! Will stay there again for sure!
Bonnie was a fabulous host. She was responsive, made sure we had everything we needed, let us know about local events, and even offered to take us out on her boat. And she thought of everything with the house. The decor and attention to detail are incredible. Overall a great place to spend the weekend, but there are a couple things to be aware of. We got the impression that this property was a bit more secluded than it was. It sits right on a road with cars frequently going by and there are several double-wide homes within 200 yards of the house. We also couldn't swim in the pond.
Wonderful setting. Beautiful home. All amenities. Gracious hostess. Couldn't ask for a better rental.
