A quick getaway trip to the area. Wanted to stay away from the crowds.

Great place, as advertised. Had 2 dogs, the yard was perfect to let them roam. Relaxing in the backyard in the evening was nice. Close to many nice small towns to spend the days.

Relaxing Weekend

It was a very relaxing weekend in a house a top a hill. Very nice scenery. Our four labs enjoyed running through pastures and getting to stretch their legs. Lots of things to do in any direction.

Really awesome

Only complaint was the fridge but seeing as though there were no other complaints my assumption is it was just bad timing. It went out when I stayed there. I would definitely stay here again.

Quiet Country Setting

This is a good place for people with dogs. Two things to know about these cabins...1) the 4 cabins are set up in two sites. So you will have very close neighbors. 2) The linens/towels are clean but old. That said, we would stay here again.

Serene

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Bunkhouse. Everything was clean and in good condition. The location is wonderful, quiet and serene. Nice porches to sit and watch the humming birds flitting around in the magnificent areas of wildflowers. Fun to watch the cats and kittens who live in the structure next door. Our dog enjoyed the smells in the little fenced in garden area. Joy was very responsive when we had questions. New Braunfels is just 20 minutes away.

Wild flowers and black cow calves.

Watching the 3 calves run through the flowers and play with each other while the very big momma cow watched was so much fun. Sitting on the front porch in the evening gave us a spectacular view of the sunset. Looking out the living room window in the morning to see miles of the beautiful Texas country side made this bunkhouse very special. Frankly our stay made us long to leave Oahu, and find some space to breath. Thank you.

Total Quiet and Great Place for the Dogs too!

Trying to find a place that will allow dogs over 50 lbs isn't easy, so I was happy when I found this listing. And the fact that extra fees didn't almost double the per-night pricing was definitely a huge plus (so many listings do). When we arrived, we were greeted at the gate in front of the house by a small welcoming committee of Black Angus. They were more curious to meet the dogs than the dogs were to see them (they're used to cows). The house comes with everything you need to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable (including TV and puzzles, coffee and coffeemaker). I loved that the side and back yard was fenced so I didn't have to keep the girls on leashes the whole time. The rooms were a good size. There's a washer and dryer (complete with laundry products). It was lovely to sit out on the porch on the swing and sip wine in the evenings and enjoy the peace and quiet (except for an occasional moo) while the girls explored. When we're back in the area, we'll definitely be booking this place again.

Very comfortable

I have never seen such a wide variety of pillows at a rental or hotel before, even had memory form pillows. The beds were very comfortable too. The cows were pretty cool to hear and watch. It is far enough out to be able to see stars well. Host was also very accommodating.

Amazing Stay!

This is our third time staying at Sherman and Joy's properties and our second time staying at the Bunkhouse. It's a great weekend getaway to the country in a fully furnished cabin.

It's the small things that matter

It would have been nice to have plush bath towels and comfortable pillows. Both are years old and need to be replaced. Decided to make a quick trip to buy my own bath towels. Left towels behind for next renters to enjoy. A new couch would also be nice; current one needs to be retired. Enjoyed watching the cows from the kitchen window. Owner responds right away to text and phone calls - nice perk!

Nice country place

We had a nice stay in this country house. Plenty of space and we had everything we needed. Our dogs loved the yard, and it's close to a lot of great areas. Very cool to see the cows roaming nearby! Would be much improved if all the rugs were removed, or replaced with smaller washable ones. The brown rug in the living room smelled of pets and the underside looked well used by visiting pets. Linens and towels were clean, but looked old and tired. The non-stick frying pan was in bad shape and should be replaced. Would love to stay again if these few updates were made.
