Everything was superb! House was clean, fully stocked from kitchen to outdoor gathering spaces with games! The Hosts were prompt in response and extremely helpful when one of our travelers left a beloved blanket behind. The views in the morning and at sunset were amazing! We loved watching the deer and hearing the turkeys. Our family enjoyed our stay so much that we are planning a return trip in the fall! Highly recommend Hill Country Haven.
