Had girls family trip here. Close to Wimberly. Nice house. Check in process easy - keys in lockbox. Clean pool and hot tub. Pool lights up different colors at night which was awesome. Entertainment room separate from house (enter from door leaving kitchen) was really nice as a hang out place. Rooms were nice. Too bad it was hot and sunny, would have been nice to sleep in room with day bed. Bed itself very comfy. We did not realize there was a pathway to a fire pit, so def check it out. Restrooms and kitchen area a bit small, but overall nice place.
6 / 10Average·Aug 2025
Our travel group relies heavily on reviews before choosing our annual rental, so I wanted to leave an honest and transparent review. We celebrated our annual end of summer and birthday at this property and had a really nice time. The pros are the backyard pool, the birds playing in the waterfall, the hot tub, lawn care, and game room house. We tried to spend as much time in those areas as possible.Room for improvement would be the warm/hot water in the showers. We were not able to get more than 5 minutes of warm/hot water at a time in any shower and there were 6 of us (3 women) in our group, so no full showers, no hair washing/leg shaving for 3 nights as the water got cold quickly. We were not able to use the primary upstairs shower due to the shower head being caked with calcium (easy 10 replacement fix). We noticed a potent foul smell coming from the dining areas and realized it was the nearby laundry room. We did our best to spray home scents and we lit 2 fragrance candles morning to night that we brought. The mosquitos were constant, so we did our best with bug spray that we brought and some bug spray was provided. We noticed there was an unused sink in the courtyard in between the kitchen and game room house that was full of stagnant water, mosquitoes and mosquito larvae. A flying roach found its way into the kitchen in the game room one evening.Bring our own pots and pans as most are worn, & blender doesn’t work. No keurig as pictured. Made awesome memories!
