The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was a wonderful weekend, nice area and quiet. Atmosphere was great. We were there for our Grandson’s graduation at Texas State, so it was a good place to rest and relax after all of the ceremony celebration. ##### Louis B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 25 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### What a Find We loved the setting at Acorn Hill. This feels like the Hill Country. The pool and hot tub were ideal for summer days and nights. The house is a log cabin with tons of space. We enjoyed being close to Gruene and the Guadalupe Horseshoe. The property manager was very attentive without being intrusive. We will definitely stay here again. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Katherine J. 16 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Few things to improve The location of the propertynis perfect, the cleanliness of the inside of the house is great, it has new A/C units the house has everything you might need but there are a few things to improve: the living room sofe beds do not work, the pool needs cleaning water was a little suspicious, and the jacuzzi water does not heat up, the lawn need maintenance.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was great. the kitchen was small but very well stocked. The location along the hwy was loud. I am from the country so what bothered me, may not bother everyone. The biggest disappointment was the fact that we had plans to sit by the pool and swim Saturday but the pool was 90+ degrees!!! I read that it is a heated pool for certain seasons...summer is not the season to be heated. Our whole day's plans had to change. We had picked that rental because of the pool. Will probably find a different location unless pool is fixed next time. In addition, when renting a place like this, we come from many different locations. This particular spot is only allocated 3 parking spots for 14 people. That made for very interesting parking. Would only recommend if I know the pool is fixed. ##### Jessica H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maye M. 22 Jun 2025 ##### Maye M. Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ---
