Backyard Oasis
Imagine chilling under a big pecan tree strung with solar lanterns lighting up the evening, the sound of an artificial creek in the background, and a hot tub waiting to soak your worries away. Sounds good? We thought so too.

Sweet Spot!
The home was modern and comfortable. The backyard and screened in porch were an added bonus. There were a couple of things that needed attention but the host Vince will take care of them as he is very attentive. The location is excellent as well. There are daily visits from the deer that just love cut up apples, carrots and nuts! We loved our stay and highly recommend this home for your stay in Kerrville!

Girls’ weekend
Decided to rent this adorable home for a 3 night weekend getaway with my best girlfriends. The home was very spacious, comfortable, and close to everything in town. The beds were all comfy, as was all the other furniture. Amenities were provided. Backyard was super cute. Everything was awesome! Will definitely come back to this house if I come back to Kerrville!

Perfect Place for a Girls’ Getaway!
This house is so inviting and absolutely spotless! It was the perfect setting for a girls’ getaway. All the beds are queen or king, the kitchen is wonderfully stocked and the dining room provided a great spot to enjoy dinner together. The back yard is its own little oasis. When you walk out onto the screened porch, you can hear the water feature. So peaceful. We easily walked to the river and park and enjoyed exploring some cute little stores. There is a hot tub that looked inviting though we ended up not using it. Next time we certainly will and there will definitely be a next time! This house was perfect!

Adorable Home With Backyard Oasis
This rental ranked up there with one of my favorites. Extremely clean, very spacious and all the details were very thought out, at no point did we ever have a need that was not met. The technology (Alexis) made everything extremely easy to navigate. I could live in the backyard, it is straight out of a magazine! The owners were very organized, detailed and helpful. Cannot wait to stay here again!

Wonderful Hill Country Home!
We stayed here over Thanksgiving to be near our family’s ranch. The home exceeded all expectations and then some. It was beautiful inside and out, very well maintained, the beds (and pillows!!) were extremely comfortable (and I’m a harsh critic of beds). It was a great layout for our family. Loved that there were Lego Duplos for our children aged 1 and 5 to play with. We didn’t get a chance to use the hot tub but the backyard and sunroom is beautiful! I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a retreat from the city. Kerrville has so much to offer and this home is in a great location. Vince was very easy to communicate with start to finish. Don’t hesitate and book this house today!! 10/10 would stay here again.
