This home was very clean, comfortable master bed and most of all secluded at the end of a road. We were entertained by birds, ducks on the river behind the house and many deer. We would love to return again if we’re ever in this area again. ##### Jill D.

We had a great time. Our two oldest daughters (7 and 2) absolutely loved exploring the property, and walking down to the river. Our youngest boy (9 months) loved exploring… everything! The cabin has everything a young family might need, we appreciated that so much. This is certainly also a place a couple could enjoy a slow quiet weekend! This was our first experience using VRBO and a rental over a hotel room. It was by a long shot, a much better experience for our family. We can’t wait to go back! ##### Ryan Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Naaman and Louise B. 14 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Get away Great property; had a problem with heater on arrival, but was repaired sufficiently in a few hours; excellent communication with manager. ##### Naaman and Louise B. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carlos A. 22 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fun on the brazos Our stay was very nice. The drive to the property through the woods was really neat. We loved the privacy of the property and the fact that we could walk out of the house to the river was awesome. We had a great time fishing as a family and caught a few bass! The house was very clean and looked like it has had some updates. The beds were very comfortable, and the living space was spacious as well. The kitchen and dining area were a little small but we knew that going in. There was plenty of utensils, plates, and bowls. We cook big meals at most VRBO’s so we found the cooking supplies to be the bare minimum. We brought our own crock pots and pans just in case, and we had to use them. The only miss was that the keurig did not work. We found that the needle had been broken, so we relied on a family member to bring us some coffee. Overall, we really enjoyed the house and the location. We would recommend this place to everyone. ##### Carlos A.
