Weekend stay

A wonderful property, exactly what we hoped for in Lampasas. Loved the historic elements of the property. And Kaili was very responsive and an excellent host. Highly recommend the house if you are traveling through the Texas Hill Country.

UNIQUE AND MEMORABLE PLACE TO STAY

If you are in this area for a family reunion , attending a wedding or just a stop to your next destination -you will have a wonderful education studying all the antiques and reading about the history of this place and the town Yes it is an old house so expect wonderful wood floors and stain glass windows and a creaky floor every now and then. But that is what gives this place its charm ! Our host was very responsive and helpful, even accommodating the place with some white noise machines to help with the traffic noise -and it does help ..take your time with this wonderful home and enjoy all the conversation pieces …be still and let your mind wander back to a simolier time ..

Lots of character

So when my wife and fam arrive to check in there was a strang person that was also arriving. He introduced himself and said he was there to work on the AC. That person used the same code we had ben given to gain access to the property. This bothered us greatly. The first night we didnt get almost any sleep due to not knowing who else might have the code to get in. We decided to leave after the first night. The house is cute and has lots of character.

Nice Antique house

The house was awesome - it has a lot of character. But... it was hot & humid & the AC could not keep up (got up to 79-80 degrees during the day) - took some time to cool down enough to sleep at night. Host could consider cooling the house down prior to customers' arrival. The welcome gifts were a nice touch. It is on a busy street, but we didn't really notice the noise. I'm hoping they got the cleaning service straightened out because the house needs a good cleaning. The king bed downstairs could use a mattress pad to soften it up some - was very hard. Overall....if it were cleaned better, I would book again. I would not recommend kids with all of the antiques in the home.
