Perfect House for Ladies Trip!

A group of us got together for a mutual friend’s birthday - the twist is that none of us had met prior! This house was perfect with several living spaces to spread out, several rooms including a gorgeous master that made birthday girl feel like a queen! Everything needed to cook meals, enjoy drinks, relax. And the mattresses were amazing!!! Everyone left commenting they wanted me to find out what the mattresses or mattress topper was so they can get on from home. I even drew the short stick and was in the smaller room that has the double bed and twin bed in it… even those mattresses were fabulous! The home was VERY well stocked with essentials, never lacking for anything. The cherry on top? A super straightforward and simple checkout process. 10/10 in all regards!

Hidden Gem !

This was our 1st time staying at a VRBO and we had the best experience. We volunteered to fostering a neighbors dog and have 2 dogs of our own which now makes 3. We decided to take a quick trip not realizing most places only accepted 2 dogs. Before booking, we messaged the host (Meryl), let her know our situation and asked if it was possible to bring 3 dogs. We were so happy how kind and accommodating she was. Our little one went from oh no! We won’t be able to take a trip… to Yay we can take a trip and bring the dogs ! WoW! From the moment we drove up and walked in, this charming home was exactly what was pictured. We stayed for 2 days (myself, husband, 9 yo and our 3 dogs), to celebrate our little one finishing up the school year. We drove to Blue Hills Ranch and did the safari tour which was so much fun and wasn’t too far. The location was great and was not far from restaurants/shopping etc. Meryl was very responsive and everything was so seamless. Our favorite part was the upstairs game/entertainment room and the Large yard with enclosed back patio. There was a variety of family board games as well as several stand up arcade games that kept us entertained. The house was well supplied and it made us feel like we were staying with family. We had everything we needed!Meryl, Thank you for opening up your beautiful and cozy home. We definitely enjoyed our stay and made some fun memories and will be coming back… next time bringing Grandma.-De La Cruz Family

Waco retreat

House looked small from outside but was surprisingly roomy inside. Cozy and all the beds were very comfortable! House had a funky odour we all noticed - almost like a skunk but we couldn’t smell it outside. Back porch was our undeniable favourite place but wasn’t swept and generally could have been cleaner. Also, one of the upstairs bedrooms didn’t have a window. That room needed a bedside table and lamp. Other than that, the house was great. After being out and about every day, it was wonderful to come back in evenings to recap our day on the back porch listening to the birds!!
