TUCKED AWAY

The property was just right for our girls weekend..........with 6 of us, we had plenty of space to spend time around the lovely table sharing good food and great conversation, and then move to the living area where we could relax on the comfy sectional..........sleeping arrangements were very comfortable and not at all crowded............even with 6 of us moving through the kitchen at the same time, we weren't tripping over each other...............the property was very clean, and the views out of the windows made you forget that you weren't farther out into the country. We would definitely stay there again.

Spacious and well-appointed!

Our family was in town for an event in Salado. There was plenty of room for 7 adults and one pre-teen (and 2 dogs) to be very comfortable. The home is stocked with everything you need, very clean, and Michele is responsive and helpful. One small piece of advice - if you plan to work from the house or be on multiple devices, bring an additional hotspot. But I recommend getting out and about - the property has plenty to explore and Belton/Salado/Temple have lots to do. Thanks for sharing your home!

This was our second stay here, and it's perfect for a group of friends who want both privacy as well as spaces to gather. We love the well-appointed kitchen and the comfortable bedrooms. We'll be back if we can!

We have stayed at this house twice and it has been a great experience both times.

We were in town for a cow show with kids and grandkids. Have stayed in this house the last two years and it is perfect for us and close to the expo. Michele is great about keeping in touch and responding to every question.

Son’s wedding

This was perfect for us. We had six people from both sides of the family. The house had plenty of space for privacy plus lots of common areas to gather. We got a lot of use out of the kitchen making cookies for the rehearsal dinner. Perfect location for everywhere we needed to go in Belton. Very nice to have the acreage because we ended up with my son’s dog and loved the room to run.

Awesome House

We stayed for 2 nights and the stay was awesome. The house is very clean and the beds are comfy. The property is remote but literally minutes from town. We saw deer in the front yard every day. I would definitely stay here again. The owner was awesome to communicate with and replied very quickly. Thank you for letting us stay at the Hidden Gem!

Plenty of space. Retreat into nature without tract homes around. Listen to the birds and see wildlife, yet experience all that Belton has to offer within minutes!

Enjoy a short hike to a bench in the middle of trees and nature!
