Nice stay

Everything was nice. Had a water glitch - pump broken during a rain storm. That was not great. Had to fix after contact with owner. No covers on bedroom windows worried my daughter. She put sheets up. Nice property for kids but it rained the whole time. 🥵thanks Chris.

Poorly cleaned house in Driftwood

The house was not thoroughly cleaned before our arrival. There were dirty towels hanging in the bathrooms, previously used wash cloths hanging on the shower, and the bathroom rugs were dirty(dripped toothpaste on one). We had to wash a load of towels for our use. The cook top in the kitchen had burnt food on it. The dishwasher was full of dishes, clean but it should have been emptied and dishes put away. The kitchen sink was dirty. There are no window coverings in the bathrooms or the 2 secondary bedrooms. Also, we were given a code for a lockbox to retrieve the door key. There was no lockbox and after the initial panic and some searching, we found the key under the door mat.

Fun girls getaway

We had a great weekend at the house. It’s perfect for getting away from it all yet close enough to enjoy wineries, the small towns around, & float the river. We packed a lot into our stay & had a great time exploring. Beds are comfy & house was great.

Family friendly tranquil getaway

We really enjoyed our stay, and the location & accommodations were great. Beds were comfy, plenty of things to do on the property- star gazing, outdoor games. So many places to relax that it was hard to pick a favorite. The owners were friendly and easy to access. Loved the seclusion yet easy access to Wimberly or Dripping Springs/wineries/natural springs. Would definitely book this place again!

Fantastic Secluded Getaway

The property was exactly what we wanted: an out of the way place with plenty of room (both indoors and out) for 4 adults and 3 children. The two older kids loved the bunk beds, we used the fire pit extensively, and loved the quiet neighborhood. Look forward to coming back in the future.

Nice TX hill country hpuse

House was just as described and a big lot with lots of outdoor space. Be careful of the big steps down to the sunken living area of you have children. But otherwise very nice, cozy house!

Highly Recommend!

Our group of five had a wonderful time and we loved the style of the home. The owner was quick to respond when I had a question and the check in/out process was explained well. The home is a short drive to multiple wineries, breweries and downtown Wimberley. I would love to come back in the fall/winter to enjoy the huge fire pit!

Our First VRBO Experience

Our first VRBO experience was a good one. The property was large, nice, quiet and peaceful. We loved seeing the deer in the mornings and evenings. The yard is very large and convenient for children. The house is spacious, comfortable and homey. There are a large variety of games supplied in the game room. Our only complaint was having no window coverings in two of the bedrooms. Not a deal breaker for us. We plan to go back.

Great for the whole family

We booked this to give the kids a nice vacation away from the craziness of the covid situation. I also camped with them on property for the first time and they loved it. It was near what we wanted to visit locally and a nice break away from big cities. Would recommend to all.

A great experience!

We really enjoyed our stay at this property! The house was very clean and there was plenty of space for our entire family! Chris was a great manager! We had a schedule change due to COVID19 and he kindly accommodated us! It meant the world to my family because we booked the house for my oldest sisters wedding! Also he replied back very quickly. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Beautiful property

This is a beautiful property. Lots of open space, huge outdoor fire place, great for a family time like ours. It is located right across the street from my sister's house. We had a couple wonderful nights here celebrating my brother-in-law's life. A little bit of maintenance would make it even better. Items that need attention: windows need washed, leaking faucet in back yard, kitchen under cabinet lights, more blankets for cold nights, kitchen island drawers, party barn furniture cleaning, fallen leaves accumulated in the party barn, etc. But overall a great place and we had a very good stay.
