We had a great vacation just hanging out by the pool. with our granddaughters. The 2 bedroom house was just the right size with an amazing kitchen, pool and hot tub area. We did notice quite a bit of pet hair on some of the outside pool furniture. We also received a text upon arrival that one of the toilets was "hard to flush". It was actually a broken linkage between the plunger and the handle. It was not that big of an issue and since no-one was sent to fix it, we made the best of it. I do recommend this place for a great get away.

My husband, daughter and I really enjoyed our weekend here. We loved the pool and hot tub. We had a blast! This is a very clean and comfortable home in a quiet neighborhood. We can't wait to come back again in the future.

Lovely home nestled in the trees. Comfortable, relaxing, peaceful. Stress relief! The hot tub is amazing, the patio deck is a joy, full of comfortable seating & bird watching opportunities. A real delight.
The property was beautiful, comfortable and peaceful. The location was perfect - out in the country but not too far from Bastrop. The pool was sparkling and refreshing. My husband and I had a wonderful time and look forward to coming back.
