The house was great. Very nice. The only problem was the pool and hotub were dirty. There was trash left in the garage and it is located near a railroad track. Other than that the house was super nice. The master bedroom and shower were great. The kitchen and living room all flowed well. It is kinda in the country so every morning we would wake up and drink coffee on the back porch and watch a few deer graze.

Wonderful stay

This house is in a great location! Beautiful area with a pool and hot tub! Enough queen beds for all adults to sleep in which is hard to find when looking for a place to stay. It was well stocked with your basic needs. The bedding was high quality and very comfy. The trains run a lot but it wasn’t an issue for us.

Experience fell a bit short

The beds, linens, pillows were wonderful and the house is lovely. The fire ants and broken hottub ruined our short stay. I would go again if those things were addressed before check in.

Amazing, cozy stay

We had an amazing stay in this beautiful home. The house was very clean, modern, and had everything that we needed! Host is very responsive which made our experience even better. Pool and outdoor space was fantastic, perfect little spot to have some relaxing drinks and conversations with friends. Highly recommend this place if staying in Brenham or the surrounding area.

Great girls get away!

The house was beautiful and clean and worked perfectly for our girls get away weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and brought a net to play pickleball in the driveway (we didn't formally measure the space but it was sure fun). The host was very responsive to all inquiries and the location was very convenient. The train runs directly behind the pool and thick brush so you do hear it (no horns) but it didn't bother us. We would definitely stay again.

Nice stay, could use some fixing up

My friend and I brought our kids to Brenham for some summer fun. We really enjoyed the pool and the house was very clean. There were a few things I’d recommend the property managers work on. The upstairs bedroom, a converted attic, was extremely hot. We set the AC to 70 and turned on the fan in the room, but it was still hot upstairs, so lots of whining from kids. There were also some string lights by the pool and on the back porch that had partially fallen. They were blocking part of the pool area. We also couldn’t work the tv’s in the bedrooms. One last thing is that the house would be a lot more comfortable if there were things like extra blankets/pillows and some kids dinnerware. This property has a lot of potential to be a great stay!

Listing does not reveal all information

My adult children and I were in town for a family wedding. Upon arrival, the grass was not mowed but the home appeared to be clean at first view. When getting ready to cook dinner, we discovered the propane tank had been left on and was completely empty. We did find a full bottle in the garage which was good. The inside of the grill was absolutely filthy and there was no wire brush to clean it. We burned off what we could and then put foil on the grill to cook our food on. Coffee grounds were left in the coffee pot. Large fire ant mounds were on the rock path to the swimming pool. There was a large wasp nest above the hot tub that was active and the hot tub was dirty. The kitchen has the bare minimum in regards to cookware. I reported these things to the property manager and without telling me, he sent the cleaning crew to the home. The next thing I know, there is a strange person coming in the patio door of the home without knocking or announcing themselves to clean the items. After returning Saturday evening from the wedding we attended, my son and his wife sat down on the edge of the bed and the entire bed collapsed. The slats and bed frame broke in two. My son and his wife had to sleep on the couch in the living room. The listing also does not mention that there is an active train track within 10 feet of the pool in the backyard. I have never left a negative review, but for the amount of money I paid, none of these things should have happened. Very disappointed.

Great house, but a few things...

The house description was not accurate on the website - detailed 2 beds in 3 of the rooms but there was only 1. This caused an issue because we had some people that were more comfortable sleeping alone. I messaged about this prior to the trip and was told I could get my money back, but it would have taken too long to be able to book another place. There were several things that were concerning and inconvenient: - the washing machine did not turn on - the tvs in the two smaller bedrooms did not work. The message said weak signal. I contacted the office about this and was told they had the best internet service that it may take a few minutes, but it did not work all weekend. One remote did not work at all, even after we changed the batteries. - the AC control was difficult to manage - a little tutorial or instruction guide would help - tub in the master had construction dirt all around it - the refrigerator/freezer was set too high and did not keep things frozen, like ice cream - we could not turn on the ceiling fan light or fan - we had to buy a colander and serving spoons for meals - no broom or mop - one less than full roll of paper towels - bath towels were left to use in the kitchen...? and a lack of kitchen towels and dish rags - "fully stocked kitchen" - no it was not stocked well at all other than trash bags and flavored coffee pods - only one trash can in the garage So, we enjoyed our weekend, but it was a hassle in several ways.

Family stay

Cari communicated great with me and was great with response time. She was very accommodating. The house was lovely and clean. The house was as listed but if trains aren’t your thing, please know that it is very close by. It didn’t bother any of us at all and my husband and I are pretty light sleepers and the train never woke us, we were just surprised at how close it was! The location was perfect for what we wanted to accomplish! Thank you!

Farm house decorated beauty

Super cute house! Everything a family with multiple adults and teen age kids needed for a comfortable stay. In town for family wedding and the house was the perfect location for all our needs. Plenty of space to spread out and have privacy. The back porch and pool area was another nice bonus space. House had everything we needed for daily and nightly needs. Highly recommend this house for anyone visiting area! Would love to come back!
