Perfect and beautiful!!!

We have stayed in many rentals when visiting my son at Texas State and this one takes the cake! The home was so cozy with every possible amenity you could imagine. Our pups loved the yard with the awesome turf (just like home-yay!). I brought along grandma on this visit and she loved the home as well. We cooked meals, watched movies, gathered around the fire pit, and were even able to host a couple of my son's friends for a game of pool one night. Thank you, Kelly for allowing us to stay in your wonderful home. We will be back!
