They thought of almost everything here!

Our kids loved the pool, hot tub, and slide! Numerous little things that we wished for at other places were included here: clothes hanging rack, clothes baskets, flossing sticks, cotton swabs, extension cords, instructional videos, and too many different things, to name just a few. The kitchen was terrific, too! There was a coffee bar with many syrups, creamers, and S'mores stuff. We wish we could live here year-round!

Great Family Togetherness Home!

This home is perfect for those large family gatherings and plenty of things to do in the outdoors- Swimming pool w slide, hot tub and waterfalls, ping pong, corn hole, fire pit w lots of new furniture, lounging area with a table and a outside fireplace w a TV and more seating space! The kitchen is great to cook for everyone and all the functionality you want in a VRBO. Sundae and beautiful high end neighborhood and feel very safe taking a walk around the neighborhood.

Beautiful House for a special trip

This house is exactly as it appears in the pictures! Probably even better! Seven of us stayed here for my mom‘s 70th surprise birthday and everyone absolutely loved the house and amenities. It was too cold for the pool, but the hot tub was used and enjoyed. The few questions I had throughout the visit were answered quickly. Would love to come back to stay again!

Excellent Get Away

Ladies of 8 on getaway checked into a pretty, well kept home with a beautiful back yard. We took advantage of the pool and hot tub and corn hole and an excellent tv and sound system. James was an excellent contact point and was supportive in making our stay comfortable. He returned texts quickly to resolve any questions and requests we had. He was great!! We had a great time and plan on another trip here as soon as we can do it.

Hill Country Family Reunion

Our multi-generational family met for 4 nights in this beautiful home. There was plenty of space for all 13 of us and the outdoor pool, hot tub, games, fireplace, fire pit were perfect for all ages. The large kitchen and two refrigerators made meal prep easy. Sleeping accommodations with the bunk room and media room are best for families who can share beds and the bath that is upstairs. Downstairs all three bedrooms have private baths with the Master having an extremely large tub and shower with three heads. Three people could share the shower and not feel crowded!James, the Owner, was readily available, even for our sometimes stupid questions. The views from the patio are lovely and we saw Deer every night on the hill above the house. Walmart and HEB are only 10 minutes away and charming small towns like Salado are a short 30 minute drive. The driveway is steep but there is ample parking in the oversized four car garage and on the driveway. If you're looking for a beautiful home to enjoy family or a friends get away this is your place. I've rented VRBO's all over the country and this one is outstanding.

Baby Shower

We had a large gathering of family and friends for our Son and DIL's Baby Shower. This home was the perfect choice for such an occasion. The home is beautiful, functional, and well equipped for entertaining both indoors and outdoors Overall it was an enjoyable experience and our family would like to use this home in the future for the next big family get together.

Best experience on vrbo!!!!!

We absolutely loved this rental. The owners made the check-in very easy. The iPad with all the details of how everything throughout the house worked was a great touch. It was a perfect place for a family getaway. We will definitely be back.

Great stay in Harker Heights!

This was probably the best VRBO experience we've had. The house and backyard were beautiful, and the neighborhood was nice. Check-in and communication were seamless (plus there's a handy ipad with videos of things like running the pool to turning on the lights). The house was spotlessly clean and was exactly as we expected it to be based on the listing. Thanks for opening your house up to us, and if we ever the occasion to come back to Central Texas, we'll make sure to stay again!

5 stars across the board

This rental was perfect form check-in to check-out everything was flawless. All instructions are on a tablet with videos to help you with anything that could come up. James was responsive and gave us a heads up every time someone has to come visit the house (pool maintenance. Overall you couldn’t ask for a better home away from home.

Amazing Getaway!

This place was amazing! From the moment we walked in, we loved it. The pool, hot tub, water slide and rock wall water feature make the backyard a oasis. It was simple to use with the app on the phone. Video guide at the coffee bar was very helpful with everything else. The layout of the home is great. Plenty of room to sleep you, your family and some extended family if necessary. We travel to Central Texas a couple times a year, and we will be looking to stay here again in the future. The owner of the property James, was very easy to communicate with and very responsive to questions. If you are traveling to Central Texas with a large family group, I highly recommend using him. Thanks for the great stay and helping to make some awesome memories.

Everything I was looking for!

This property is amazing. The subdivision was beautiful and houses were not jammed together. I was concerned we would have to worry about bothering neighbors. We were a large family, 8 adults and five children. We had plenty of space, we were able to park two cars in a spacious garage. The house was, as in the pictures, amazing! The outdoor amenities, 5stars! Even though it was cold I knew my grandkids would love it. They also enjoyed the upstairs media room. I have to say, even though we came together in a time of grief there was healing and a sense of comfort being together in this beautiful home. Thank you James, you were always available to answer my questions when I needed you.

Beautiful Home

The home is beautifully decorated and has a great layout. It is designed for entertaining. The ladies loved sitting in the hot tub and watching television. The open concept and large sofa were perfect for visiting. The house is very high-tech, if you are not use to using an iPad or phone to control things like hot tubs or water temperature, this is not a house for you. The oven is also digital. It takes a bit to get into the grove. It is a very electronic house. It's definitely not a home in the city. You do have to do some driving to get to stores, day spas. We did drive to Salado to do some girlie shopping. Bring things you might need for simplicity like clothes detergent, tissues etc. The Master bed is very hard. You might ask about what areas of the house has cameras. I believe there was a live one outside by the pool, not sure. The host made himself available to help us figure out the hot tub and hot water. You can't have the hot tub on if you want a hot shower. There was a little bit of a dance with that but we figured it out.

Truly A Five-Star Experience

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home was lovely and beautifully appointed. Plus, we had the convenience of being close in to cities such as Salado and Georgetown. The beautiful backyard backed up to a natural area where a number of deer played at all times of the day. The sunsets were gorgeous. It was extremely relaxing and fun. Plus, the host was so gracious and made himself available by telephone should we have any questions. The host thought of so many things to make our stay enjoyable and we could not have asked for more.

Perfect.. enjoyable

All in all, great stay, let me break it down this way: THINGS I'D CHANGE: make sure to let guests know the garage key pad is on the side of the garage. Better instructions for TV and outdoor speakers. I KNOW TV's are more complex than ever, and also maybe u don't want ppl downloaded channels on it? We were looking for a couple streaming services that weren't on there and didn't know IF or HOW we could add them. The outdoor speakers,we were only ever able to get 1 of them to work, not sure if both needed to connect to bluetooth? We also tried using the provided cable to hook the non-working one up to the working one, no luck. The tablet with the videos is a GREAT idea, however, if you have 5+ ppl in the house, it tends to get noisy, and even if u tell them to be quiet lol, the speaker on that tablet is weak, I'd suggest future guests use headphones. (Enjoyed seeing the mixed family by the way *wink* funny, nice touch). SUMMARY; the house is laid out nice with a nice open dining/living area, plenty of nice amenities (coffee maker & coffee/tea etc) bedrooms are great! The backyard is great for entertaining everyone, whether u want to watch tv, ping pong, hot tub, the pool/slide are great, you'd find it hard to be bored! The controls for the water features, lights etc. were pretty easy to figure out with help from video and a text lol. Host was very good on replying quickly! 2 fridges! Garage door openers! I think they've thought of everything!
