The house is large and intriguing. The largest bedroom is en suite on the top floor. Then down a half story (?) two bedrooms with a bath on one side and two more bedrooms with a bath on the other side. Plus a “chute” to the laundry room which fascinated the teens. On the main floor is the big dining room, well equipped kitchen, comfortable living room and another bedroom with adjoining bath. Great for someone with knees as the two staircases have a couple of angled treads. (Rest of the family was fine, at 80 I took the main floor bedroom but did use the stairs a couple of times.)Eight of us from 18 to 80. While I would not bring young children, especially toddlers due to the pool and the stairs, it was great for us. Everyone had space when they wanted it, yet room to be all together too. Lovely pool which is Texas sun warmed but still refreshing. Everything was better than expected. So there was minimal contact with the owner which was promptly answered. Next time we come I’d like to meet Paula to learn the history of the house.

Large house with many rooms/beds to choose from helped my large party decide where to stay. All the kitchen ammenities allowed for many cooks in the kitchen! The back patio and pool was definitely the favorite hang out! As long as you dont mind the bird nests right above you, and the birds flying in and out at high speeds! Our weekend was very enjoyable! (Might update the website photos...there is not a second room with a table.) Loved the house host, she is most helpful in a moments notice!
