In over 15 yrs, this is the first VRBO I've stayed in where I felt like I was staying as a personal guest and not a renter. The whole interior was clean and bright. The kitchen was immaculate and had EVERYTHING you might need for a weekend from foil, ziplocs and spices to both a drip and Keurig coffee maker. We were welcomed with s'more kits, starter snacks, and more. 2 twin foldaway beds were great so all the kids could have their own bed. It was so peaceful sitting on the deck and watching the deer and turkeys on the other side. The lake was dry (4/24) but we hiked the lake bed for miles and saw tons of butterflies, birds and flowers (no snakes!). There' s a great hard packed trail through the lake bottom that makes me wonder if it would be good for mt. biking. Bandera is a great town abt 20 min away. Highly recommend pecan chicken at TJs at the Forge and the Banderra Brewery chocolate stout. Thanks for a great weekend!

We had a great stay! The area is so quiet and peaceful. We watched the deer and turkey while sitting on the dock. The little store just a short walk from the cabin was a nice bonus. The cabin had everything we needed for our trip. It was well stocked with pantry items. All of the outside sitting areas and fire pit was great.The beds were comfortable. There were plenty of towels and blankets. We would definitely stay here again.
