We booked this property for my daughter’s birthday last year so it was a no brainer while planning this year! It was equally as amazing. We did have a small AC issue but Kelly was quick to respond and got to the house quickly with a company already enroute to fix the issue in case he couldn’t. The owners are amazing. The house is amazing with any and everything you could need. The pool is a dream! Don’t hesitate to book this property!

Pristine Countryside Gem

Absolutely loved our stay here. The home is gorgeous; pictures are pretty, but don't compare to how lovely it is in person. Everything was spotless, I'm talking every inch of this home; one of the cleanest, if not THE CLEANEST, vacation home I've ever stayed in. Truly a pristine and very well kept place. Beds were all comfortable, showers were so nice, open kitchen made a perfect spot for time with family to hang and talk. The pool was amazing, had a deep end too! Great temp and so clean. Lots of fun outdoor games, floats and activities. Plenty of seating no matter where we wanted to relax, inside or out. The property felt super private, but not overly isolated; the perfect balance. Very quiet and peaceful. Check in and check out were so easy, very minimal too. Also really appreciated the kindness of the host, we felt so welcome and accommodated. They were very warm in all of their communication.Would love to come back! :)

Great property! Location is private, but one hour from Waco and Austin. Salado is a unique small town to explore. Belton and Temple offer plenty of dining options and activities. The house is well appointed and the pool, with hot tub, is a wonderful bonus! Our hosts were wonderful and checked in on us even though they were out of the country.

The house is beautiful. Very tasteful decor and open concept. The kitchen is nicely equipped. The pool and hot tub were perfect. The back yard is large with so many mature oak trees and no close neighbors. We were 10 minutes from downtown Salado and shopping. We used HEB in Harker Heights, but Brookshire Brothers is closer. The hosts responded to messages immediately and were very helpful. It was a perfect stay. I’d love to do it again.

We traveled here with family to enjoy the area over spring break. It was a quick trip to the lake, and into town to experience the history of the region. Our family enjoyed spending most of our time outside with the beautiful layout of the property.

Surprisingly Disappointing

Let me start by saying the hosts were hospitable & friendly & communicated througout our stay. There were only beds for 7 people, not 9. After night 1, I noticed the throw pillows on the bed were covered in dog hair. My husband began cleaning the entire house, the amount of dog hair swept up was excessive & disgusting, it filled the vaccum. Our clothes were covered in it when we sat on the furniture; we bought lent rollers and cleaned the couches, and ran it over all beds, sheets and pillows. All throw pillows in every room & throw blankets were completely covered in dog hair. There were handfuls of hair between beds & the wall. We went through 4 lent rollers to make the home more acceptable. The silverware drawers are full of dirt, the pot holders were disgusting with food caked on them. When we showered the first time & used the "clean towels" dog hair was all over us, so I re-washed everything. I pre-washed every dish used to prepare food. I chose this home bc they were highly rated. I absolutely would not stay here again and likely would not stay at another "pet friendly" listing because of this experience. If we had an alternative place to stay and didn't already pay an arm and leg to stay here, we definitely would have checked out and went elsewhere.

This property was absolutely AMAZING!! It was so well stocked with the absolutely unexpected. It was clean, tidy, and well organized. We needed nothing! All toiletries, dishware, small appliances, etc., were provided, we literally needed to bring nothing but food and ourselves for the stay! And the pool was amazing. There were floaties, pool toys, outside games, tabletop games, I could go on and on! The communication with the host was excellent. The outside was so tucked away and inviting, there were even deer right out front! I'd recommend this place to anyone and I'd go back in the future. Couple of tidbits of advice.....1. The pool is insanely deep so beware if you arent a decent swimmer, or cant float! And watch the kiddos. 2. If nature unnerves you, youd better stay inside, lol. Overall, beautiful place, Kelly and Kelly have provided an absolutely wonderful space away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Rent it, you won't regret your stay!

A Perfect Getaway!

We spent a long weekend visiting our favorite Texas town and only wish we’d found this rental sooner. The home is beautifully appointed and so very comfortable. The pool and outdoor space was a the icing on the cake. Our hosts have seriously thought of everything. Honestly, I think they must have stayed at a ton of short term rentals and made a list of the amenities they wished had been in them and then created the perfect experience. There’s plenty of furniture in the common areas, loads of towels, including for the pool, large closets with hangers, well stocked bathrooms, a large kitchen with all the appliances and utensils you could hope for, welcome snacks, and a comprehensive list of suggestions of places to explore in the area. The communication from the hosts was easy, warm, and just the right amount. We use VRBO quite a bit when we travel and have had some great experiences. This getaway hit all the notes we look for to make a stay great.
