Perfect retreat for our writers group

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.

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!

UMHB Graduation weekend stay.

I would recommend trying to get there before dark. Would just make it easier. Easy entrance and directions are great from host. Quick access to everywhere Belton! Back yard you can hear traffic a bit but in house you don’t really so that is nice. We did go down trail to check it out but didn’t go all way as afraid to run into things we shouldn’t before graduation. But could see the creek running. One room with bath is on opposite side of house and master with bath is off kitchen. On other side are 2 rooms with hall bath and laundry.Great space for everyone.there are a few cooking needs salt pepper and really lots of basics you might forget…so nice to have. Great communication appreciated the check in text to see if we had any questions! Would stay here again!

Spacious and Peaceful

We enjoyed the home, it was plenty of space for 5 adults. The floor plan is great so everyone can spread out and have their space. We saw some deer and loved having coffee and just watching for wildlife out the large windows. Cleaning staff should be more thorough as there were clearly some areas missed (dead bugs in corners here and there, and medication found on the floor in one of the bedrooms). Overall we enjoyed our stay and would return.

Hidden Gem hit the mark

In Belton for family wedding and this property worked fabulously. Host was easy to communicate with and timely responded to the few issues we encountered during our stay. This property is very spacious, quiet, and the location worked well. Photos in listing were spot on. A family of deer visited each morning to eat the acorns and there was a lovely creek deep in the woods behind the house. Beds were comfy and provided a good nights sleep. TV is streaming only, no cable service. Internet service was up and down which made streaming and/or phone internet surfing somewhat frustrating. Overall happy with property and would stay again.

Lots of Room

My friends and I enjoyed staying in this roomy house. It felt like we were out in the country, but we were only minutes away from any place we wanted to see/visit. Just have a couple of suggestions for improvement: Set the thermostat to at least 75 degrees during the summer before guests arrive. It was set at 85 degrees, and it took a long time for the house to cool down. The house has a rank and stale smell...you might put deodorizing plug-ins in the outlets. Regarding the rating of the property manager, I don't know that I communicated with him/her. I believe I communicated with the owner only which was pleasant.

Bell County Comic Con

Overall great stay, beautiful property. Only recommendation is for the owner to turn AC on at least 12 hours prior to check in. We checked in at 3:00PM temperature inside house was 86. Didn’t fall below 80 degrees until 3:00am. Temperatures outside were 100+

Great place with lots of room and love the multiple sitting areas. House is large enough for everyone to have their own space. The garage and the amount of parking are great. In a perfect location so close to everything but secluded on the 3 acres so very peaceful.

Beautiful, spacious country home

This property was very comfortable and accommodating. The bed linens and towels are wonderful. I say that because sometimes in other VRBO‘s you just get the minimum. There were plenty of nice pillows, and the beds were extremely comfortable. We had beautiful weather, and we got to listen to the birds in the evenings and in the early mornings. We even saw a few deer pass through the front yard. Overall, things could not have been any better! Thank you for allowing us to share your home.

Perfect

We loved this property. Location is private and scenic, but conveniently close to restaurants. The 4-bedroom house was perfect for our sibling weekend. My husband and I drew the short stick and had the room with 2 twins. As it turns out, twin beds were super comfortable and we would be happy to take that room again. House was spacious, clean, and well appointed. We loved the large picture windows with scenic view. We enjoyed watching deer. The large dining table for 8 was great for eating together and playing games, and for gathering around to sort through our mom’s 90+ years of family photos and memorabilia. We also enjoyed the deck overlooking a creek. In summary, the house was very comfortable and it was perfect for our gathering.
