Recent Central Texas guest reviews

Loved the location and the layout.
Mark M. | Apr 2026
Stayed here after getting engaged to my fiancé, and it was an absolutely wonderful getaway from the city. Had a blast getting to travel back in time in this little cottage. After we left I realized that I had forgotten my suit in the closet, texted the host and he shipped it out to me within a couple days. Absolutely wonderful place and experience interacting with the owner. Would recommend this to anyone wanting a quiet getaway!

Everything was great. Loved the facility and it was all smooth. Valet was very nice and easy in and out. Great experience. Vacassa has it all figured out.
