    The house was pretty, and outside was breath taking, but i called the property manager catalina many times. My vacation, and Thanksgiving was ruined. The road to this property is horrible. Also, the neighbors or who ever lives there threatened us, and treated us like criminals when we were just walking. We did not do anything against the law. The sheriff came to the house on private property without permission.

    The house is very nice and has many conveniences such as a wine fridge, large ice maker, comfy bedding, fire pit and outdoor seating. It’s not a large house but the design makes good use of space and the back porch is large with beautiful views. One thing to note, the road to get to the house is a bit of a drive and is very graveled with lots of big rocks—I would not want to drive a sedan or vehicle that sits low to the ground. Easy walk to the river to fish although we couldn’t get many bites. Be sure to bring laundry supplies and coffee for Kuerig if you want that. Host was reaponsive and helpful.

    This property was an exceptionally lovely retreat to relax in after the busy holiday season. The firepit/grill area provided hours of fun, roasting marshmallows and cooking steaks. The house is beautiful and had everything we needed, from the kitchen to the game cabinet. The wandering longhorns were visible every day of our trip and made for even more beautiful views from the porch. We had such a wonderful time and can’t recommend this property highly enough!

Only down-side was lrg. frig had an issue with door seal, which affected proper temperature inside frig. Also had issue with multi-cup coffee maker, but property mgr. was very responsive and replaced the unit.

    We enjoyed our stay. We fished in the river that runs behind the home. Made s’mores in the outdoor fire pit. We were delighted when we saw the longhorn on the property. Bedrooms are small but clean and comfortable. Kitchen is fully Stocked but we did have to buy sponges and kitchen towels. It was nice to unplug and enjoy family time cooking, watching movies, dancing and playing games. The location is great for visiting New Braunfels, Luckenbach and Fredericksburg. We did have a minor ant invasion in one of the Kids suitcases but hey, she learned how to use the washer! If you love the outdoors, you will love this beautifully decorated home.
