Hot Tub & Game Room: Schulenburg Retreat

Reviews

• Family gathering

  4/5

  Great property conveniently located in Schulenberg. We were greeted with a luscious cake and our family really enjoyed the pool!

  Very nicely renovated farmhouse, but note the steps to the second floor are steep and narrow - the way they were built back then.

• Lovely country setting

  4/5

  The home is comfortable & well decorated, with a unique bar area. Family members enjoyed the pool, but few got in the hot tub due to a strong chemical smell. The game room was a treat for the 10/13 yr grands. A sweet surprise was a beautiful cake, from the host. Negatives: The narrow, steep stairs, going up to the upstairs bedroom area, were not shown in the property photos. The adults, most of whom were 60+, dreaded going up the stairs. Only the most sturdy of our group, made the trek upstairs, revealing a lovely sleeping area. All agreed the stairs needed a flat, wood hand rail, for safety. The kitchen was awesome; however, everyone brought k-cup coffee pods & their was no Keurig. Sadly, no one knew how to use the furnished Mr Coffee, so I went to LaGrange, & purchased a Keurig. I also picked up kitchen towels/wash cloths & a draining pad, so we could wash, rinse & dry our own dishes. We found 3 small hand towels, not our idea of kitchen towels. The king bedroom was "wow", the shower is huge, but there was no place to set our shampoos/soaps. There was a waterproof trash can, so we set it upside down, in the shower, to place our products. We strongly recommend a shower caddy. We were not too fond of the armoire, which was full of bedding. It was difficult to hang items in the armoire. Overall, our family enjoyed our stay & hope this review brings positive small improvements .. where needed!

  This house is beautiful inside and out! Very spacious! Loved having all the bathrooms, especially after swimming everyone gets a quick bath. The water slide was a huge hit. Even the adults had a blast on it. It’s very hard to find a nice rental home that also allows dogs as well. My family will definitely be back for summer get away!!

• Incredible location and home

  4/5

  Once a year my core friend group from college do our best to have a weekend together. It is a very special tradition and the Yellow Rose was absolute PERFECTION. It is spacious, the game room is so fun, the multiple patio spaces were perfect for chats all day, and the pool has a slide which we enjoy immensely.

  The only reason I rated 4 instead of 5 stars was because it took literal weeks to hear from the management company when i asked questions. The other note would be that the VERY narrow staircase to get to the upstairs attic bedrooms could have been better described, because a warning about them would have been nice. HOWEVER, after a quick shuffle of people to put accessibility needs in order, we were happy as could be :)

  I also want to note that the owner left us a HOME MADE chocolate cake in the fridge to find and enjoy during our stay. It was DELICIOUS!! It was such a sweet gift, and we enjoyed it thoroughly. Everyone was so happy with this location that we agreed we would definitely return.
