We had a peaceful time. We felt safe and free to explore. We were welcome by Gary and Panda the night we arrived, making us feel like when you go home and someone is waiting for you. Plenty of room to craft, explore and cook out. The beauty of the scenery was amazing.
This is a beautiful property and we enjoyed our stay. The house and property are very well equipped with great amenities and the setting is relaxing. Chris was very accessible and easy to communicate with. I think it would be helpful to let guests know that the condition of the river and creek beds can change depending on weather and that at times a high clearance vehicle is best for reaching the property. Our group didn't have any issues with reaching the property but we all drove trucks/utility vehicles. Would definitely recommend !
An absolutely incredible find! The house is whimsical and so cozy! Outdoor paradise - lots of wildlife and the most amazing swimming hole you'll ever find!! Beyond 5 Stars!
My wife and I were looking to get away for a few days with a comfortable home located around water. We started looking in the Hill Country and located this home and decided it met everything we were looking for. Chris met us on arrival and she was available at any time. The house was extremely clean and had everything we needed including an outdoor cooking area, kayak, and a paddle boat!! So beautiful, scenic, and quiet. Even went on a 2.5 mile hike up to the top of the hill and enjoyed every minute of it. Water is very deep, clear, and loaded with fish that I got to feed every morning and evening. Thank you Chris and Gary for sharing it with us!!
My family had a wonderful stay! Everything was completely perfect for my birthday weekend. The water was lovely, the sounds of nature, the comfort of the house & porches were complete relaxation. Thank you, Chris & Gary for another perfect stay.
It’s the nicest cabin I’ve stayed at, amazing house, deck, dock, huge catfish coming up to feed when we put out the food and catching perch that we’re the biggest I’ve caught in years. I want to go back for sure, gold star property.
We had one of the best family vacations ever! Min Paradis was perfect. From the flawless craftsmanship of the cabin, to the absolute Eden of the gorgeous little lake...everything was perfect. The kids (young adults) enjoyed the boats; the swimming and fishing were both great! Everywhere you looked, there was another delight, from the abundant outdoor seating, to the custom-made furniture and amazing metal art featured throughout the property. We will definitely return!
We absolutely love this place! It literally is a little Texas oasis. We had everything we needed and more! Chris is an amazing host. Can’t wait to book it again for next summer!
We loved the stay! Water in back was beautiful w a peddle boat. Enjoyed being outside. Internet kept going out which made it hard for me to work and call out but other than that it was perfect. Loved the exposed brick in kitchen and the dogs came by to say hi often which was really sweet. Nice place to just get far away and forget any worries
Quiet and comfortable with lots of options. Went hiking, swimming, kayaking and fishing.
We’ve visited the area for over 20 years and have stayed at some wonderful places but this place has been by far the BEST!!! Private, quiet, peaceful, relaxing and fun all in one place! We HIGHLY recommend!!
In a word...unique! Chris has the artist's touch and it shows on this property. Oh, and there's the swimming hole and fishing too.
We had the most wonderful stay! This is such a magical place. We had a blast fishing, feeding the catfish, taking the boat out and enjoying nature! Thank you, Chris and Gary for sharing your piece of heaven. Everything was perfect! See you soon!
