Nice property
5/5 First let me say the property manager was amazing! When we first arrived we ran into some issues with a large amount of dead Asian Beetles in the house after a brief warm front blew through. This is an old building so totally normal (it happens). We made the property manager aware and they were immediately responsive with the offer to use a different property but we decided to allow them to clean it as we didn’t figure any more bugs would show due to the current cold temps now. They showed in 10 mins to handle the situation. They had it taken care of within 45-60 mins as they did a full reclean and had us head across the street to Circle 6 Restaurant/Bar (fun little place with extremely friendly locals) while they cleaned for dinner and drinks on them. We had a great experience in an amazing old cabin and a great experiences within walking distance to dinner and drinks. We could not have asked for more of the manager or the area! Even though we had the issue I am still giving 5 stars on it! We will likely go back

Cold cabin
3/5 There was a draft with visible light around the front door that made the small space uncomfortably cold. The thermostat was difficult to adjust to maintain a constant warm temperature.
There were a few bugs-Surprised to see at this time of the year.

Perfect Apartment and Location
5/5 My family rented all 4 apartments on this property for our family and the bridal party for my daughter's wedding. The property was absolutely perfect and less than a mile from the venue.
Perfect 4th of July 2024
5/5 The pictures of the property where very accurate. We stayed in the cabin over the long weekend. The AC works great and made the cabin very comfortable. The loft bed was very comfortable with a wall fan providing great air flow. The kitchem was perfect with everything we need to cook breakfast and dinner. There was a shared propane grill on the house deck which was about 20 ft out the door. Very comfortable outdoor seating outside the cabin and on the upper deck around the house. Plenty of off road parking. The town is very small but 2 bar/ grills within a few hundred ft walk. Very safe surroundings. And if your there for the Katy Trail, the trail head is across the street. Really a perfect getway.

Ruebling Cabin
5/5 We had a wonderful stay. Very cute cabin with a comfortable porch for a cup of coffee or glass of wine. Close to walking trails and wineries.
