Fantastic Hill Country Getaway at Deer Haus

This beautiful home in the Texas Hill Country was a great place to spend a long weekend with my family. The house and outdoor entertainment area offered amazing accommodations for us to chill all weekend. We enjoyed passing time on the patio and game room while watching the deer visit throughout the day. The host was great and the house had everything we needed for our stay. I look forward to the opportunity to visit again.

Thanksgiving Holiday

We celebrated Thanksgiving at this wonderful home. It had everything we needed to cook a full meal. The property had deer that were were so tame as they came right up to us to eat the corn that was provided. Love this property as everything was provided. No extra supplies were needed. Would be happy to recommend this location to others.

Fantastic Property

We enjoyed this property so much! The backyard is spacious and relaxing. We had a blast feeding the deer multiple times each day. They even ate out of my grandson's hand. We were also grateful that this property allowed dogs. Overall, a wonderful place to escape! Communication is great with property owner, as well. We will be back!

Just Perfect

This rental was just perfect. My family and I stayed here for a little Thanksgiving getaway. The owner was very accommodating and has placed a lot of care into this home. The area was private & peaceful and the scenery was nice as sholud be expected in hill country. The deer would come and nibble on corn throught the entire day..even while we were outside. They are nice distraction when you're losing to your kid at corn hole. When we entered Deer Haus, the first thing we noticed was how fresh and clean the house was. There are sound machines and air purifier in each room! Lots of extra pillows, towels and blankets. You only need to bring yourself. The house is stocked with everything you need including seasoning. I would definitely like to rent this home again. Thanks for the perfect Thanksgiving getaway!

We'll Be Back!

It's always exciting to find a vacation property that meets and exceeds all expectations. And being only one mile from boat ramp #2 was a extra special surprise! We travel with fur babies, so the fenced-in yard was so incredibly accommodating for us . . . thank you for that! We loved the abundance of wildlife around the house too. We also want to mention how much we appreciate the spacious parking provided at the home (we had three vehicles and a 24-ft boat); just fantastically convenient! Many, many thanks for this wonderful place! We'll be back!

Outstanding Property!

This is an outstanding property with ample parking for a few vehicles and boats. The boat ramp is less than 5 minutes from the house. The outside patio is amazing for outdoor cooking, cornhole, sitting by the fire pit or just relaxing. I will definitely be back to this property. Thank you sharing it with us!
