A gem in Llano. It is a wonderful property. Everything felt warm and welcoming. Place was immaculate. We loved the porch. Host is so accomodating. We will return.
We stayed at the Ratliff. First impressions can be deceiving. Inside is beautiful!!! When you first see it you might think hmmm, but when you get inside you’ll be amazed!! The cottage is immaculately cleaned, the bed was very comfortable. Everything was perfect. We will be staying there again!!
The location is perfect! You’re within walking distance to shops, restaurants & fun bars. We stayed in the Ratliffe & absolutely loved the screened in back porch :)
Lauren and Irene were kind and easy to communicate with. This property was absolutely perfect for my wife and I . So clean and thoughtful ! Can’t wait to come back !
This property was very well kept and the manager was attentive to our every need. The room design was artfully/tastefully done including everything from bedding to bathroom amenities.
