If you think the deck is picturesque, imagine the Hill Country views you'll be able to see from there!
Not pictured: traffic jams, car exhaust, noisy crowds. Because there aren't any of those things here.
After her visit, our guest Melissa said, "Wish we were still there. We can't wait to go back again. The views were spectacular."
A glass of wine, a rocking chair, and sweet mountain breezes all await you on the shaded country porch!
The authentic Kiva fireplace adds flickering accents and warmth on those cool Hill Country nights.
