Great idea; poor execution

I stay in VRBOs often and very rarely leave a negative review. However, I was very disappointed in this property. We were there for 4 days as we were attending a family reunion nearby, and property manager did not communicate at all during our stay to see if we needed anything, etc. Entry door was filthy, bathtub was dirty; cobwebs and dust throughout home; Trash stacked up and broken patio furniture was outside our front porch, all of the grass/weeds around the house was overgrown. There was an extra blanket wadded up in the closet and probably had not been washed after the previous guest. 3 forks and one knife in the utensil drawer. The little home community nestled in the woods is a great idea, but the cleaning crew and amenities leave much to be desired. “Charges for leaving the property dirty” is mentioned several times in the rental agreement; so I assume it’s important to the property manager, but they are not honoring their part of the contract.

Way,way,way out in the Texas Hill Country

The place is way, way out of town & GPS does not recognize Jennifer Ln. I did end up getting lost once. It's too secluded. Yellow House was just as pictures shown. It was comfortable enough, I didn't spend all my time there as I was there for my son's graduation from Tx State & meeting with other fam members. The toilet itself is not secure to the floor & very wobbly. The floors are all cement & stained & smeared with not sure what throughout the whole apt, looks really bad. The couch is too soft & you end up sunk in it. The kitchen is not well equipped. 2 miss matched pans & one of them was too burned to use. There's only 2 forks &1 spoon but too many spatulas for cooking & knives of all kinds & sizes. The hair dryer does not work. The hot tub works but had too much sand in it. The communal kitchen grill was not working but the TV does work. The fridge, stove/oven, washer & dryer, TV, AC worked just fine

Peaceful, relaxing, hill country retreat

We were in the area for a wedding at one of the local venues and this was the perfect spot to serve as home base. Sitting on the porch with coffee in the morning listening to all the birds and enjoying the scenery was great. Ample supplies and comfortable furnishings. We especially loved all the hooks for hanging clothes, towels, swimsuits, etc scattered throughout. Would definitely stay here again!

Perfect family vacay in the hill country!

The property was very much like a communal camp setting. Great for dogs and children. My kids loved the swings and a decently small wooded area around the property for them to play and explore. The hot tub worked well and was a great place to relax. Close to Wimberly and Canyon Lake.

Would not recommend

The house and area were cute, but I don't have many more good things to say. It was dark when we arrived, and without being able to see the yellow of the house, the check-in instructions weren't good enough to be certain we had the right place. We had to wander up to the door and hope it was the right one and that we wouldn't be disturbing anybody. It was dusty, there was trash left from the previous occupants, and there were old coffee grounds in the coffee maker (which didn't work quite right, by the way). We also had to remove at least 5 daddy long legs spiders from the living room. We were willing to deal with those issues, but the BIGGEST problem that the property owner refused to address was that our bedroom light kept turning on and off during the night while we were trying to sleep. After the first night, I informed them of the issue. I even told them that I was almost certain of how to fix it. They told me they wouldn't be able to send anybody out before my wife and I left. When I told them that was unacceptable, they were suddenly able to send somebody out. However, it was clear that the person just came while we were out doing our day's activities and turned some lights on to make it obvious that they were there because the problem persisted. We couldn't get a good night's sleep. I would not recommend this property.

Not pleased

Upon arrival we pulled up to see the yellow house. We were already disappointed by the overgrown grass surrounding the home. This was very different than the pictures online depicting a well manicured space. Once we walked up to the entrance we noticed the porch was dirty. The water hose was still out and nothing had been cleaned off on the porch. The water hose clearly was not used to clean. The cover from the hot tub filter was on the ground next to the hot tub and the used filter was on the grown and sediment of calcium had settled in the hot tub seats. Worst of all there were two used bandaids and what looked like a blood smear on the side of the hot tub! We contacted the host and someone came soon to fix the hot tub, but at that point we were already grossed out we were not going to use it. Entering the house we were more than disappointed with the cleanliness. Spider webs everywhere, bugs, dust, very wobbly furniture, and zero attention to detail. Had I looked more closely in the images online I would have noticed the bed being that of a dorm room. It leaves much to be desired. The description of the bathroom says plenty of countertop space and it’s simply a sink. Around the toilet was so dusty and dirty. I showered and noticed a hairball on the side of the shower wall and something else I don’t even know what it was. The shower liner was dirty too. The water needs treated because the calcium is ruining the faucets meaning they spray water out in many directions.

Cute Hideaway

We were so happy with our stay. It was really tucked away in the country with a few other cabins on the property. I wish we had spent more time using their common area with outdoor kitchen, hammocks, and bonfire. Positives: clean, accurate listing, quiet country area. Negative: would not drink the water- buy bottled, and coffee maker and hot tub were nonfunctional during our stay although the complex was very transparent about it which was appreciated. Overall I would stay again.

You won’t be disappointed!

This was an amazing place to stay! My wife and I were absolutely thrilled with this stay and would 100% come back. It is exactly like the pictures show and would be perfect for a couple’s getaway or for a small family stay! The host was accommodating and helpful, as we ended up adding another night during our stay and the host was able to help us get everything sorted out. These are not bad things, but did want to mention for reference that the hot tub and front porch are facing the driveway into “The Driftwoods”, but has plenty of trees and growth that my we felt comfortable sitting outside without worrying of being bothered. And the bed is as pictured. It is not a luxurious bed and does squeak a little when getting in, but it was perfect to get into after a long day! Again, we were so happy with our stay-and for that price, it can’t be beat!
