    First let me say that the place was immaculate and the pool was fantastic. Our group of nine family members (3 generations) had a great two nights and all slept very well. That said, we do have a few comments. First, the house is definetly not new with a lot of uneven floors, steps without hand rails and slippery bath tubs with no handholds. Second, the website could use a major rewrite with better corrected information and instructions. For the price, it surely was not glamorous and we had to pay over 200 for three little dogs. Not to mention the construction going on on two sides of the plot the VRBO was on. Are they building a winery and removing all the dead oak wilt trees? I guess it might end up being OK if that is what they are doing but if not, I'm not sure I would recommend Alexander's Inn especially if you are a senior citizen. Otherwise, enjoy the pool!

    We hunt annually in the area and this was the perfect property for our group. Lots of space inside and out, deer crossing in the back and the most beautiful sunrise coming through the back windows. We are looking forward to next year!

    This is the second year my wife, son, and his girlfriend spent Christmas in the Hill Country. The Country Life experience was a perfect location. Comfortable property. Jeff and Alexa are excellent hosts.

    Great location for wineries around Johnson City and Fredericksburg. The accommodations were very roomy for an extended family trip. The house is dated but very clean! The pool was nice but not of use to us in Nov and outside lighting lit up the grounds at the back of the house.
    8.0 / 10.0
    The stay was great. It was quiet and secluded. Amenities were in great shape and was in a great location. The only issues I had were that the A/C settings on the thermostat would not go under 74 degrees so the house would get a little warm at times. Also, there was a constant beeping coming from the garage heard throughout the house and especially in the bedroom by the garage. No one could sleep in that room because of the beeping. There was no access to the garage to try and stop the beeping.
