Mini Vacation
Our stay was incredible! We were so happy to have found this amazing home and land. It was so peaceful and so much fun, the pond was a great way to cool off, the fire pit with the stars above was relaxing and the dogs brought smiles to our faces. We can’t wait to return.

Wonderful Ranch House that has everything that you could think of. The stay was one of the best stays that we have had in a VRBO—the host was absolutely the best host we have ever experienced. Thank you for making our weekend getaway memorable!

Perfect getaway
The best thing about this place is everything! The antique-filled farm house has everything you need to stay cool and cozy. My teens loved the dock and pond. We even had a 4-legged visitor who would hang out with us down at the dock. The owners were amazing and went above and beyond. We are grateful for our stay and memories there.

This was an amazing get away. The pond was so pretty and my son loved playing with the fur babies. The house is fully equipped with plenty of room. Not very far from Giddings and some great antique shops. We will absolutely return in the future.

Great Stay in Giddings!
We had a fantastic weekend! We got up late on Friday night. Communication with the owner was great and everything was set up for us. One of us had an event on Saturday and the other explored the property with our 3 boys and dog. That night we warmed up by the firepit. There was plenty of room for all of us and we look forward to staying there again the next time we’re in town.

Comfortable home - Near Roundtop - Quiet rural setting
I had a lovely stay for the Roundtop Antiques Fair, which is a quick 20 minute drive. The home is spacious with room for a large group, 3+ bedrooms (five beds, two trundles) and two bathrooms. The quiet setting next to a pond is beautiful. The place has everything you need and the host is very responsive and helpful. Plus a good value, I would definitely come back!

Quiet getaway
My wife and I enjoyed our stay at this peaceful country property. The home was very clean and comfortable. The bed we slept in was clean and soft. It was like sleeping at our own home. Ryan communicated with us before we left and during our stay. We knew exactly what to expect and how everything worked inside the house. We were in for the Round top antique show, and was in close proximity to all of the towns involved with the show. I wish we could give this property and Ryan the host more than 5 stars.

Quiet, Clean and Comfortable
Just what we need. Quiet, Clean and Comfortable. We go to Giddings twice a year for three days and this place is just what we needed to unwind and the end of a hard day. The owners were great at responding to any questions we had before arriving. We will be staying here next time for sure.

Cabin by the pond
Everything was awesome. A quiet country setting and really clean. The homeowner was so good about answering our texts and making sure we had everything we needed. We brought some of our family back to the cabin after the Celebration of Life we had for our niece. This included some children that had a great time fishing in the pond.

Family Gathering
My only complaint was that the owner didn't turn the AC on before we arrived as he said he would. Outside tempature was over 100 so it was miserable the first couple of hours in the place. Otherwise things went smoothly.

Peace of the countryside
Beautiful little country home. Plenty of beds. Quiet piece of property with a beautiful layout from home to pond. The kids enjoyed swimming in the pond, jumping off the deck and swinging from the rope swing. Host family was very helpful and was very quick to respond to any requests. The house was mere minutes away from the race track which was very much appreciated after long days and nights racing in the Texas heat. We absolutely would stay again 10/10
