We do our best to schedule our lawn service when the property is empty. Sometimes we are unable to coordinate this, and the lawn crew may be present for a few hours during your stay.

We live locally and also have local maintenance and housekeeping for needs that may arise.

    This was a perfect location to everything. The managment was so helpful in letting us know great places to visit in town and was very easy to get ahold with when we had questions.

    I found the Lone Star at Riley Retreat to be one of my favorite places to go relax, regroup, and just be! The atmosphere is calm and the place has a peaceful quality that is very rare. A real true writer's haven. The local amenities are great! I look forward to a winter's stay.

    Nice distance to all the surrounding towns. Nice peaceful views from rear deck to a dry lake bed that we had been advised of. Quiet and the stars outside make this the perfect retreat! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

    We’ve stayed at this AirBNB several times over the last few years and it’s always wonderful. Laura is always very quick to respond and if you ever have any questions she is there to help. Amazing people and place, would always recommend going.

    My wife and I stayed for a month and enjoyed our stay immensely. We travelled more than 1600 miles to the area from home and had not been to the area before. The directions were accurate and easy to follow to find the property. The property had all the amenities that we needed for our stay, the facility was organized and clean and we had no issues while staying there. We were provided with information about the area including local points of interest, so we enjoyed several local restaurants, points of interest and we travelled to other close towns in the area. Our stay was enjoyable and we would certainly return if the opportunity presents itself. Thanks
