About this farm stay rental

An unforgettable blend of history and whimsy nestled among an unexpected ridge view just minutes from downtown. This 1895 German rock and log homestead has been restored and updated with a surprise around every corner. Each space pulls you in and at the same time stops you in your tracks. Woodwork design features complement one of a kind design pieces. And if that weren't enough, the nature views grab your attention and draw you outside where you want to kick back and relax as you watch the day unfold. Some unique surprises are a custom arcade, string art wall, scrabble board wall, shuffleboard, hanging television, rain head shower, and so much more. It's an attraction all its own in this special jewel of a town.

Please Note: You are renting a cabin in the Hill Country which means you may encounter wildlife (Snakes, Deer, Racoons, ETC) Please be aware of your surroundings, and take caution while driving at night. You may also encounter the various bugs, spiders, scorpions and mice that live in the country AND sometimes do make their way inside. All properties do utilize pest control services on a regular basis BUT this does not guarantee no pests or bugs will not be visible.
*WET WEATHER Reservoir: Water conditions are not consistent or predictable due to the fact that water depth is subject to the weather. No water activities, with the exception of fishing (when water levels permit) are allowed due to the possible dangers of the primitive nature of the reservoir.

    My family of 3 have been staying at Absolute Charm properties for a number of years. This week we rented The Rockwood. It was not accurately represented in the photos and descriptions, and was, quite frankly, a disappointment. There is plenty of charm and theming throughout the house, but functionality is lacking in several areas. First, the sliding door to the back patio from the master bedroom is broken and the owner's solution was to wedge a 1x3 stick into the frame to act as a lock. The outdoor furniture in the yard was filthy and had nails sticking out of the frame. This really doesn't matter since the view of the “Wet Reservoir” doesn't exist. The boat dock is beached on land, the water is gone, and a housing development is under construction in its place. This was not a case of drought as we had heavy rain almost every day of the week. The toilets may or may not flush and you have to jiggle the handles to keep them from running. The fan in the game room doesn't work and according to Tim (who answers the phone when you report problems) has never worked. Internet service is unreliable. Don't expect to attend teleconferences or be able to watch TV for any length of time. The oven is barely functional with no working thermometer except one that was added inside the oven which is hard to read. The owner left detailed instructions acknowledging the oven had problems and how to work around them. The main bathroom has some sort of wood floor that becomes slippery when you use the shower. The kitchen table is too big for the space; you cannot sit a family around it without hitting the walls. The couches in the family room are uncomfortable with a TV hanging from ropes over the fireplace and at a height that is too high to watch (assuming the internet doesn't cut out). We don't expect perfection, but it is clear the owners are aware of the issues and instead of correcting them are implementing workarounds. There are (2) new elaborating themed houses on the property and meanwhile existing houses are being neglected.

    The house itself was beautiful. The attention to detail was impeccable and we loved the overall craftsmanship of the home. When we arrived the hot tub wasn't ready to use. It was freezing so we couldn't enjoy it until the next day. The location was convenient for Main Street activities but the views from the house were less than desirable. Overall a nice place to stay.

    We enjoyed our stay at this house! The house had a very cool design and there were plenty of outdoor games and space. It was an easy drive to get back down town and on to main street.
