Slaton, Texas
Just 20 miles from Lubbock this home is hidden in the heart of YellowHouse Canyon. Paved road all the way & private security gate. Plenty of room to park trailers or an rv if you are just passing through for the night. It's the perfect hiding place to relax while enjoying a beautiful view of the ranch. You will be greeted with deer & turkey & they love to be fed. Wildlife roam the range wild & free through the live springs & trees. You can enjoy a walk to the creek or a hike through the canyon. We offer mule deer, white tail, coyote, hog & prairie dog hunts. We also have fishing in the North Fork Brazos creek that runs through the ranch. Come out & stay with us!
The VRBO host text me canceling my stay around midnight the night before leaving to attend my daughters graduation at Texas Tech. I would have appreciated a heads up on the cancellation. I booked my stay 9 months before the event in order to avoid kaos. I was up scrambling to find a hotel at midnight. I can’t understand how VRBO allows hosts to cancel with such short notice.
The day of booking we messaged one another where I explained that my father had passed away days prior & we'd be in town for his memorial. I received permission for us to have our Dad's four sisters over after his private memorial before each of us headed back to our respective cities. The host graciously agreed. The week before arrival I received a VRBO confirmation without access code information. 4 days prior I email... no response... 1 day prior I email... no response. Got up the next morning for the out-of-state road trip and completely forgot to check for a msg because I was PLANNING A MEMORIAL on top of the road trip & managing plans for the family traveling from five different cities :( We stopped about 2 hours before check-in & I found a call button on VRBO (thank goodness!) where someone picks up and it's empty air. I decided to see if a text would go through to that number & inquired about getting the access code since we were less than 2 hours away?! She stated that it should have already been sent automatically via Vrbo and said she'd get to an area of better reception to send it... Close to 3pm (1 hour before check-in) she texted that her previous renter tested positive for covid (checkout was 10am). I, sadly, don't believe this to be entirely true as shown by her complete lack of communication in the days leading up to the reservation, additionally, VRBO showed the rental as available the night before our booking which led us to ask in that email 4 days prior if it were OK to arrive an hour sooner... No response because she probably FORGOT. Additionally, the complete lack of empathy despite knowing that we are making arrangements for my father's memorial, is what really upset our ENTIRE family. Her casual response was sorry... It's unfortunate for both of us... . Ma'am, YOU are the host... where's the HOSPITALITY? It's unfortunate for the stranded travelers that were already near the area after having traveled HOURS from out of state and then had to drive around *in an unfamiliar and rural area with POOR data connection* desperately searching for another place while you enjoyed yourself at the lake.... Bless. Your. Heart. Furthermore, her offer to help was rhetorical because she texted that there were a few rentals nearby but offered no ACTUAL help other than making it clear that my money was refunded then *CRICKETS*. Another fun fact, you can't rent from VRBO the day of arrival.. Ask me how I know (sigh).
I have a text stating the full amount of our stay would be refunded from the owner. The water pipes broke, on the day we arrived, for our stay. We drove all the way down there from Colorado and didn't hear from her until three hours before check in!!!!! She told us that we would recieve a full refund, because not knowing when water lines would be fixed, we couldn't just keep waiting. She said maybe we could stay at her parent's home in Amarillo - NOT WHAT WE WANTED TO DO!!!! NOT WHAT WE PAID FOR!!!!! This is completely unacceptable. She has had plenty of time to refund our money. We have texted her reminders and asked for the refund on at least two different occasions. DO YOU REALLY ALLOW THIS???? Please advise. Thank you
Home was perfect!! And for all of you looking for unplugging your kids and enjoying a good ole fashioned no electronics time this place is perfect!!! Wifi was available I just chose to not share so that we could reconnect and play outside!! LOVED it more than I could even describe!! This home is all that is described and more! The perfect home for memories that will last a lifetime!!
Wow, just wow! This was my first time reserving a home for a girls weekend trip so I was very new to this process. I’m sure I had a lot of silly questions to the owner but she did not once show any unprofessionalism. She was very kind, responded promptly, and the check in/out process was so easy! As soon as we walked into the home, it greeted us with a beautiful clean smell. To see a thoughtful gift from the owner to welcome us really touched my heart. The house was well stocked with items like a coffee maker, condiments, scissors, etc. The location itself was just absolutely jaw dropping! I made it a mission to wake up before anyone else to enjoy to the sunrise with a cup of coffee on the porch. I will certainly be back. My question at the time and may be yours was checking in, know that a day prior to check in the owner will email your access code information. Super easy.
First time doing this Vrbo airb&b style trip, and this was a home run, what a great place, I was seeing 4 young's grand nieces for the first time and 2 adults . This place accommodated all of us with room to spare. The memories I now have with those children and family are forever in my heart and mind. The owner is just wonderful. Also first time visiting Texas and this place was in the perfect location. ?
Spent the weekend at this house and thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Beautiful location, we love west Texas sunsets and we were able to sit out both nights and take in the view. Amenities were excellent for our family of six. Will definitely book again when we are in the area, visiting family!
manager accessable and responsive. best part was the issolation. we purchased groceries and the rest was perfect. there was even cable/disc. great for the city family that only want a relaxing view under air conditioning. we didn't ask about the location of the creek or the walking paths so we didn't see either.
Awesome relaxing place to stay. We will be back!
This property is amazing. Incredibly comfortable and gorgeous setting. Loved our stay and wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you, Callie!
