Lovely Hill Country Resort Style SPA/POOL-Sleeps 14 -20min DOWNTOWN

Only good thing is Great pool they have. But very old and everything is not very good. whole night I have

We booked this trip for a Father’s Day weekend getaway with family. We should have done our due diligence, but admittedly, we missed reading over the reviews of this property. Don’t make the same mistake we did! The property is located in a beautiful part of town with great views. But unfortunately, that’s as good as it gets. The home’s condition unfortunately is horribly misrepresented by the photos in the listing. We faced the following problems during our stay: 1. Bugs, everywhere. We understand bugs outside the home, especially being in the hill country. But inside we encountered roaches, crickets and a variety of others. 2.Electrical issues. Some fans and lights didn’t work at all. Others flickered constantly. 3. The “large bedroom” downstairs is a converted garage that uses a mini split ac unit that cannot keep up with cooling. This room also is used as a storage unit and has mattresses and various other items thrown about all over the place. 4. There is trash all over the property. The driveway that leads to the pool off to one side has random chairs and other items just piled up with overgrown weeds everywhere. There was also about 5-6 paint cans left on the porch. 5. The deck is a hazard and is in need of repair in multiple areas. Overall, we do not recommend this property. We should have made our concerns known immediately but felt we were stuck between a rock and a hard place with no alternative.

Still would like the courtesy of a refund.

Had a blast by the pool with family, house was quiet, spacious stay!

We enjoyed the pool and the upper deck. Amy was great at communication. Beds were comfortable. The views and breeze from the upper deck were amazing! Nice neighborhood also. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

After being offered a bribe of 1 night reimbursement by the owner in exchange for not leaving a review, I am ethically compelled to share our experience. Before arrival, the owner called stating that maintenance failed to present as scheduled to repair a few boards on the deck, so furniture was placed over them. Upon reading previous reviews, the decking has been a problem, so this was not new and I am skeptical whether anyone was actually scheduled. Decking is extremely dangerous, with broken boards and splintered wood. The railing upstairs is shaky and I would be very cautious with small children as there was a gap in the railing that a small child could squeeze through. Much of the furniture is broken or on its way, including outdoor furniture, a bar stool and the couch. The beds are all pretty terrible, particularly in the large downstairs room, where it visibly slumps in the middle. The bedding consists of sheets & a light blanket & upon arrival there were damp sheets & towels in the dryer. There is also a lip missing on one of the stairs with exposed splintered wood, & the stair above is cracked with the lip about to break off. While cooking in the kitchen we discovered there was no smoke detector, as it had been visibly removed from the ceiling. There were 3 coffee cups in a 4 bedroom house & we had difficulty with the coffee pot. The microwave handle was broken and had obviously been previously glued. Most of the lights flicker when they are turned on. The upstairs tub drains very slowly & leaves black sediment in the tub. One of the handles in the master bath sink does not work & the toilet seat downstairs is damaged & near breaking off. You will notice most of these are not new concerns if you read previous reviews. The most disgusting part, however, was the roach infestation. A pacifier was dropped on the floor in the middle of the night & upon looking under the bed to retrieve it, live roaches were seen crawling under the bed. In the kitchen, roaches scurried around in the dishwasher anytime it was open & also climbed up the wall while cooking, on the counters & dining room table while eating & in the trash. Owner was responsive, but only offered 1 night reimbursement in exchange for us not leaving a review. We are ethical people & don’t take bribes, particularly at the expense of others, which is why we are sharing our experience with you. Though the roaches and beds were awful, our main concern is the safety issues.

I wish I would’ve taken the more critical recent reviews seriously. Some outlets in the kitchen didn’t work. Roaches in the cabinets, crawling on the kitchen walls. This must’ve been a previous issue as pest control was scheduled before I notified the owner. They did nothing but say they would need to come back to do a full treatment since it was carpenter ants and German roaches. This being the case we had to leave a lot of our food to avoid taking them home with us. We bought our own roach traps/spray since the owner did nothing about it. Roaches trend from previous reviews. Dryer doesn’t dry completely. Stove has issues, error codes. Beds are uncomfortable and squeak with slightest movement. Coffee pot didn’t work, though we didn’t really want to use because of the roach issue. We had to drive to HEB to buy a new one, again no response from owner to rectify. No Pool/spa remote, owner said previous renter dropped in pool. We were instructed to text owner for the spa to run. Texted - only the heat worked, no blower in the hot tub, no lights in the pool/hot tub until last day. Instead of coming to the house to rectify, she asked me to adjust pool panel buttons. Also loved the hot dog floating in the pool when we first arrived. Half the stay, the pool was murky w/ white debris. Varying wood on the patio is warped/splintering. Don’t lean on the wooden patio rails as they are very flimsy/huge hazard. Half of the hanging patio lights work. Far contrast from pictures. Shower curtain downstairs was disgusting. You can see where it looks like they Kilz’d mold. Toilet seat is pealing/partially broken. There was no door to the first floor bathroom, only to toilet room which is very small. Microwave door handle is broken, have to finesse handle to open. The cold water knob in the master bath didn’t work, seemed broken shut. Owner sent “pool guy” to address pool concerns but couldn’t get new pool/spa remote to work nor change out the disgusting brown shower curtain, they left that for us to change on our own. The gas pit hardly works, probably caked with grease/crusted particles and hardly put off half the gas it should on high. If this were my house and lived 15 minutes away (per the instructions and text), I’d come right over to address whatever I could and make my customers stay as comfortable as possible, not the case here. She was accepting of the issues and didn’t bother aside from what she could do via text or her phone. Definitely false advertising

This property is not well maintained and it does not look like the pictures. For example, the closet doors were off the tracks sitting in the rooms. The pool and hot tub were nice but there were no directions on how to turn on the spa and jets. We had to text with the owner to turn it on. The property is not well stocked and there were not instructions provided for check out or any information about the area. Overall I was disappointed with my stay and think the property needs some upkeep for future guests.

There was enough space for 13 people. The neighborhood was quiet but a bit far from attractions. Overall was a great stay.

We were so disappointed with this home My whole family stayed for my daughters wedding. There was Roaches and dust everywhere. We were not happy to find roaches in the coffee pot, on the table as we sat talking and in the trash can. The bathrooms needed cleaning, the shower heads were covered in hard water corrosion. and mold on the downstairs shower head. Overall the house was dusty the furniture uncomfortable the sofa frame was broke along the back the seat cushions were sunken in. The lighting dimmed on and off downstairs whenever turned on and there was not enough heat to keep it warm. The location was great but that was the only upside. Would not recommend this VRBO
