Our overall stay went well. I do feel like the property could have been more thoroughly cleaned. I primarily am giving this a lower rating because I felt like the communication with the property manager was poor. I had no idea that this was a micro wedding venue with its own site and booking process. Therefore, I found it on VRBO and booked it with approval for our small wedding. After booking and scheduling a tour, I felt like we were treated as less than by the property manager due to booking a “standard stay” through VRBO and not through them directly. I considered canceling the VRBO booking and going directly through them for an additional charge however, after the way we were talked to and treated during the tour, I preferred to take on the task of set up and break down with no extras. Money wasn’t a barrier for us but I wasn’t comfortable paying more after being treated the way we were. I requested an additional tour and was told there was a limit of one to limit travel… for them (I can’t imagine that’s normal for a wedding venue). Final fee of additional guests wasn’t added until days before the wedding and wasn’t communicated to me as to when I’d see that fee so I felt like it was dumped on us days before our wedding. They were kind enough to let us check in early but after everything else, my perception hadn’t changed much. Very rude and unprofessional in my opinion. Had I had more time to plan my wedding, I probably would have picked an alternate location.

I hosted my son’s first birthday here. The host was very attentive & answered every question I had. They have everything you need in this house for your stay. The kids loved the pool & game room that’s located in the garage. It was definitely a perfect place to stay. Thank you again for having us!

This was a beautiful property with a great swimming pool and outdoor seating area. It was great for a large dinner gathering with plenty of seating in the house. It has a good-sized washer and dryer that worked well and plenty of towels and linens. We loved the fridge and freezer space, and the spacious kitchen island and the dual dish washers. Every shower had shampoo, conditioner and body wash. There was plenty of hot water. We had a good experience interacting with the host who was very responsive to a couple issues that we came across and addressed a problem with the AC very promptly. With all of that being said, we thought that the overall maintenance and cleanliness of the property could be improved - there were a lot of insects in and around the house, and numerous wasps nests we had to spray before we could let the children outside. Also, making guests aware that they cannot enjoy the outdoor areas without significant mosquito deterrents would be nice (we assume the stagnant pond contributes to the insane amount of mosquitos). The pool furniture needed a power washing. We had some issues with the grill and smoke getting into the house through closed windows. The lack of organization in the kitchen drawers and cupboards was also frustrating, it seemed that a lot of what was there was left over from previous guests. With the cost of the property we had high expectations, if these things had been better maintained they would have made our stay that much more enjoyable.

This secluded home was an excellent property for the wedding rehearsal of our son and newest daughter! The amenities were fantastic and the owner was wonderful to work with! There were a few minor details to overcome, but it all worked out nicely. We plan to use this rental again for a relaxing vacay!

We had a huge group come out for the Texas tree climbing championship and thia house was perfect for feeding 40 people. The back yard as well as the home and neighborhood are gorgeous. We will absolutely be back!

Other than the cold snap during our stay, the amenities at the house were awesome! Didn’t need to leave to have a good time and keep kids entertained.

Really enjoyed the property and easy access.

This was our second stay at Chateau Hiddewood and it did not disappoint. Property has plenty of room for our large family to spread out comfortably. The spacious kitchen provided ample space for everyone to help prepare our family meals. Such a beautiful property!
