Absolutely wonderful experience. The owners were very responsive and accommodating to any concerns. Easy and friendly communication on arrival and during the stay. We stayed a week and absolutely loved it. Tons of deer to feed. Nice park for the children to play. Loved the balcony view. The owners made us feel like home.

Awesome weekend nead Pace Bend Park
We were in town for the Otillo Swim Run Austin event and booked this home as it was very convenient to the venue. The owner was super communicative and friendly, the house was immaculate and comfortable. It was way nicer than the online description (more spacious, primarily) and we felt so at home! A welcome basket was so thoughtful and we could not have had a nicer place to relax before and after our event. We'll be back here for future races for sure!!

Quiet neighborhood and great communication
We traveled here to witness the 2024 eclipse. We did not travel outside the house much to avoid crowds and delays that happened with that event. The house is well maintained and cleaned. We liked the location and there is a lovely playground and walking trail very close to the house which my kids loved. There is plenty of space for everyone in the house and a nice sized yard. The host is great with communication and gives a lot of suggestions for local destinations. She was texting with me weeks before the trip and gave great instructions.

Jill was one of the best hosts I’ve ever had. She was super thorough with communicating, the check-in process, and even put together a wonderful gift basket. She also provided a detailed list of restaurants and activities in the area. Her recommendations did not disappoint, you’ve got to try the light house! This home was super spacious and perfect for the six of us. The view from the deck is amazing and provides the perfect environment for stargazing. 10/10 would recommend!

House was impeccable. Extremely clean and comfortable. Owner was extremely communicative and everything was so easy. Plenty of parking, comfortable beds and the Village of Briarcliff is so much fun! Played golf at Willie Nelson’s cut-n-putt. #1 weirdest golf courses in America Lighthouse Marina and Restaurant was a short walk and don’t get me started on Poodie’s.

We had a wonderful time at this property, which perfectly fit our needs. The hosts went above and beyond to make sure our stay was great. The property is pet friendly, which is why we selected it. The house is close to the marina, and a local restaurant. It is also just a few miles from Pace Bend Park where you can drive right up to the water and swim. We would definitely book again.

Highly recommend for a lake getaway!
The host, Jill, was extremely diligent to communicate check in details, directions with added restaurant and activity recommendations before/during our stay. She was attentive to detail and delightful to talk with and even had a welcome basket with lots of goodies waiting for us upon arrival. The house was exactly as pictured with plenty of space and a great view of the area. Jill was highly attentive to detail (thought to leave apples for us in the fridge to feed the deer) and even allowed for a late check out which was a huge plus for our group. On top of all that, after leaving an item behind at the house, she was quick to place it in the mail. Overall, great host, house and weekend - highly recommend!

Family Friendly!
The property was quiet, very clean, and well stocked. It was close to a number of things to do and Jill, the property contact person, was wonderful. She had great suggestions for entertainment and was prompt with instructions on check in and check out. She even found our youngest grandaughter's missing stuffed bear and is mailing it back to us!! Kudos Jill, you went above and beyond to ensure we had a good visit with family. There were several deer that came by each day. The decks were fun for the grandkids and were surrouned by a railing that kept them safe. We had six grandkids and four adults staying there and there was plenty of room, enough towels and hot water for everyone to shower and the kitchen was well stocked. The house as a whole was very clean and the bathrooms were spotless. Thanks Jill for all your efforts to think of the small things and to make us feel welcome!
