Great Experience
Several of our Bass Club members stayed in the house while attending a tournament in Belton. We found the house to be very well prepared for arrival including complimentary snacks and drinks to instructions for how to use the technology in the room. The hosts are AMAZING!! Communicated immediately and effectively. All of the guys said this is a definite place to remember as our place to stay when we fish this lake.

Terrific time in Temple
The property was beautiful! The house was setup with so much character.. and such a warm welcoming. There was a sign set-up to congratulate my daughter that we were celebrating. Welcoming drinks were iced down and the house was stocked with so many amenities. There were games on the table for us to engage in and all kinds of coffee creamers and flavored tea. We just really enjoyed the welcome and that everything we needed was so handy. The host is amazing, she will text you and give updates and information, she is pure delight and we could not have had a better experience! We will stay again, a very special weekend for my family! Thanks!

The process was easy, the property was beautiful, well kept and clean. The added complimentary touches throughout the rental was the icing on the cake! We would definitely do it again and would highly recommend anyone looking for a place to stay in the area to do the same.

Great place!
Loved the country setting, the house was nice and clean! The only thing I would add would be a fire ring and a B-B-que pit. I would definitely stay there again!

Debbie - Christmas with the family
Loved, loved , loved this rental. I had talked with Yvonne prior to our stay. She is so sweet and genuinely concerned about making your stay great! It was such a nice retreat for our family Christmas! We will be using this place again. Very reasonable rate and plenty of room where we weren’t in top of each other all the time. Love the “finca” (ponderosa as Yvonne translated for me) feel of the place. Yvonne was a great hostess. Kitchen well stocked with pans of all sizes, dishes, paper products and other necessities. Plenty of towels and extras. Yvonne even had little trees all lit up for us in each of the bedrooms and one upstairs in the game room area. Game room area is great for gatherings, and even had 2 king beds and full bath. The location was perfect for us - about 5 minutes away from my mom and 10 minutes away from my son. Loved the country location, yet close to shopping and restaurants. Dollar General, gas station right down the road. We absolutely loved the place and Yvonne!!

Little piece of heaven!!
We had a small reunion with two other families and couldn’t have possibly loved it more!! The house is beautiful, the area is quiet and peaceful, the sunsets and starry nights are only what can be found in the country. Everything we could have needed was ready for our use, even little details we forgot like bug spray or laundry soap. Plus, all kinds of extras to make us feel comfortable and at home—outdoor toys for the kids, blankets in every room for chilly evenings, snacks in the dining area, just makes you feel like you’re visiting family. The owners are very attentive and communicated perfectly from beginning to end, even being easy to reach when something minor came up (password for tv system!)... they are kind and welcoming and you can tell they care about their guests! We wouldn’t hesitate to come visit again, and hopefully we will get to some time!!
