Wonderful Family Getaway

Made a lot of special family memories in this spacious house with a spectacular view to the west. The sunsets were gorgeous, and we loved listening to the birds in the morning. House was very clean, and the beds were comfy with extra blankets (which we didn’t need). The neighborhood is very quiet, yet only 10 minutes from stopping.

Beautiful home with amazing views

This very spacious home met our extended family's needs perfectly when we were in Fort Worth for a conference. I had several communications with the host and was pleased with the quick and accommodating responses. One of our favorite things was the amazing view from the back of the house, which I didn't know could exist in the Fort Worth area. The grandkids enjoyed exploring down the "mountain" in the back, which looked more like something from Branson or Tennessee than typical Texas terrain. I would say that the outside areas could use some attention - flower beds needing a good cleaning out, some things lying around outside or leaning against the back of the house, etc. Before we entered the house, we saw these things on the outside that did not make a good first impression. Even so, this property still gets five stars in our book, and we had a wonderful stay. Thank you!

Great Stay

Our family of six spent a great weekend here. The house was more than we needed. The beds were comfortable, coffee was provided and the house spacious. We enjoyed the backyard and deck for breakfast each morning with the beautiful view of the wooded valley leading down to the river. It's in a quiet neighborhood on a dead end street that leads to a walking/biking trail system that takes you to the river and lake. We went to the rodeo and highly recommend this! We will stay here again if we come back to Fort Worth.

Beautiful views, awesome stay!

We enjoyed our stay in this lovely home. It was the perfect place for my family of 6 to watch the total solar eclipse! It is a clean & well-kept house in a nice, quiet neighborhood. The back patio has a beautiful view. The kids enjoyed the ping pong table & going down to the river!

We had a wonderful stay! Yang, our host, was great. He answered all my questions immediately. The back patio was much more than what the pictures show. The view was beautiful! The only thing we were disappointed in was that there were not TVs in every bedroom. Only the master. Thank you! The Pryor’s

ABSOLUTE HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE

Don't waste your time looking at this listing as the photos/descriptions are completely misleading and the host is unwilling to help with any issues you will have. We lost THOUSANDS of dollars on this stay despite staying for only 2 hours. Owner was COMPLETELY uncooperative and did not provide a refund or even partial refund even though we were completely mislead on the location, condition and "amenities" of this property. VRBO was not of any help whatsoever even after 3 phone calls. A very brief summary of the issues: We received the following message one hour before check-in: "I left my car in one of the garages because I don't feel comfortable to leave on the street. The neighborhood is not gated and does not feel secure or safe at all. The promised air conditioning in the unit was non-functional. Despite the hundred degree sweltering heat outside.. Even after turning the thermostat down upon arrival - the temperatures inside were nearly as unbearable as those outside two hours later. The river was hundreds of yards down a steep embankment and completely full of algae and is absolutely not swimmable, nor would you even want to dip a toe in. This is NOT an amenity. The cleanliness of the place was not anywhere near what a rental property should be. Save yourself time and money and DO NOT BOOK THIS PROPERTY.

Pass on this house

The views are spectacular and that’s as far as I can go to say something positive. The house shows wear, tear and years of neglect. All bedrooms are up 2 very narrow and steep staircases. The showers are all very poorly maintained, from slight drizzle to firehose stream. Wash everything before using them! You only get 2 rolls of toilet paper and if you call for more he’ll tell you he’s on his way and then you will be ghosted. The neighbors are not VRBO friendly so to them a party is 1 or more people outside. Which prompts a phone call from the owner telling you to take your “party” indoors. Only 1 towel per person and the drawers are filthy. Outdoor gas grill does not work and charcoal grill is filthy. The steep driveway is hard to maneuver in the dark so plan ahead. The living room is small so everyone is cramped sitting on extra chairs from the closet. The bathroom downstairs is only a toilet, no shower as indicated in the listing and the trundle bed doesn’t work . If you select to stay here, that’s on you, you’ve been fully warned.

Wonderful Family Getaway!

We comfortably fit 8 adults and 3 kids in the house for the weekend! The house was very clean and looked just like the pictures! The walk down to the river is well worth it! My kids had fun playing on the small slide. The playhouse may be suited more for older kids because the slide is steep and the swings were high. But we had a great time! We hope to come back!

Large and well appointed home

Instead of renting 5 hotel rooms, our team of 5 chose to stay in this 5 bedroom home and have a community area while at a work convention. The property was perfect for this and worked well for our needs. The only negative was the downstairs bedroom only has access to a half bath. The person had to come upstairs to shower, but it was not a huge inconvenience. We all enjoyed the easy to use TV [we used for music streaming] and Keurig machine. Also appreciated the flat and sparkling water stocked in the beverage fridge. Master bedroom bed was particularly comfortable!
