A beautiful home with great amenities, lots of space, great and historic charm. Host was friendly and communicated well. Beds were comfortable. Home was clean with well stocked kitchen, washer and dryer, nice outside living space, two comfortable indoor living spaces, and large dining area.
A fabulous property that worked perfectly for our group. We couldn’t take advantage of the fun backyard because the heat was too much for our non-Texas bodies, but I would absolutely come back in the fall or spring to hang out at the fire pit. Also, I want the dining room table at my house. It’s gorgeous!The decor was perfection, the communication prompt, the AC plentiful. Local friends came to visit and are looking forward to recommending the house for visiting family. 5 stars!
