Great family getaway

The house was perfect for entertaining the whole family. There are lots of living areas so everyone had plenty of room. The location provides easy I-35 access to San Marcos or New Braunfels. It was nice to relax and see some animals we don’t normally get to see.

I think the only thing I would have changed was turning the AC on a few hours before the guest gets there. Every thing else was fun and nice.

Pool table was too flimsy so we were scared to play on it. The website says the house sleeps 12 but that’s way far fetched without doubling up in all beds and using all couches. No coffee pot

My friends and I booked this place for my birthday weekend and had a wonderful time! We especially loved interacting with all the animals, especially the goats. The property and scenery were beautiful and the house was amazing with all the available rooms and the game room in the garage. Plus, it is in a great location with only about a 15min drive to River, New Braunfels, and Downtown San Marcos! If I ever need another place to stay in that area, I will definitely be booking this place again!
