• Not A Premium Property

  2/5

  When we arrived the house had not been cleaned and there was dog hair all over the unmade beds and pillows, wet towels still hung by shower from the previous renters, snotty Kleenex were still in the trash cans, you get the idea. And for what this property charges per night, it should’ve been perfect upon arrival. After several calls, the owner/property management company provided a partial refund. There’s a lot of deferred maintenance apparent with this property. The dishwasher didnt work, the garbage disposal didn’t work, the baseboards by the kitchen sink were gone leaving exposed metal staples and filth in the kitchen of all places. The bed mattresses were of low quality and uncomfortable to sleep on. The living room couches were stained and filthy. My family loves Blue River and we stay there every winter, and this house was in an idyllic neighborhood. However, I would never stay at this property again. It isn’t worth the money and there are far more superior properties for equal or less cost.

  Hi Kane, we take it seriously when guests let us know we missed the mark, and we’re sorry your experience didn’t meet expectations. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  - We regret the home wasn’t cleaned before your arrival, and once we were made aware, it was resolved within the hour.
  - The dishwasher repair was scheduled early in your stay, but ultimately, you declined the service—this decision prevented us from completing the fix during the visit.
  - The garbage disposal is intentionally disabled for safety and is noted in the house instructions.
  - We’ve received positive feedback about the mattresses, but we understand preferences vary, and we’re continuing to make home updates, including new flooring scheduled for next month.
  Thank you again for your feedback; it helps us continue to improve the guest experience.

• Amazing place

  5/5

  House is absolutely gorgeous! The views from everywhere in the house are stunning. You have the feeling that you are alone in the middle of nowhere.

• A Cool Respite from the Texas Heat

  5/5

  It was everything we were hoping for and more! The location was at the end of a cul-de-sac. It seemed so secluded yet was close to neighbors all around. Bounded by a cold, clear stream on the back/deck side and a protected wetland out the front windows. Lots of wildlife all around. We wanted to stay out on the deck forever. It had everything we needed in the kitchen, plus a gas grill out on the deck. We used it all!! But it’s less than 5 miles into the town of Breckinridge with too many great restaurants to pick from. I really hope we can go back next year!!! Watch for the moose! I wish they had a place that I could post the picture of the big bull moose we saw one evening!!

• Great location, clean, comfortable, and lots of extras!

  5/5

  Our group of 7 adults were very comfortable at this wonderful log cabin home. It’s in a great location close to Breckenridge and hiking trails. Wonderful Mountain views and a nice large deck with plenty of seating. Also, plenty of comfortable seating inside for our group to gather. No one even felt the need to turn on the TV…we were able to just enjoy each other and the environment!

  Kitchen is fully stocked with a lot of nice extras we weren’t expecting. We were completely unaware of this area not selling plastic bottles of water so the filtered automatic water dispenser in the refrigerator was a Godsend to refill our water bottles! All the small and large appliances were extra nice and fully operational! The crank windows and unique shades were great to let in just enough cool air and light!

  Just a couple of negatives…the master bed and sofa bed are not very comfortable especially if you are used to a softer mattress, but the other beds were great!

  The owner communicated with us before checkin, was very attentive, quick to answer questions, and took care of all our needs.

  Overall, the house was very clean and comfortable! The extra nice furniture and decor were a plus!! We loved our stay and would definitely choose this home again!!
