outstanding overall location, and facilities !
Rode up with our church group from Tomball for the Fandango vintage motorcycle event. The property was easy to find, a fantastic location, very clean, with more than enough space to park a couple of bikes and a trike. The bedrooms were comfortable, isolated and quiet. Loved the pool and the grill! Yeah, we are coming back!

Family time
This is the second time we booked this place for a New Year’s Eve weekend. We did a late Christmas plus new years with our out of town family and had a great time. The putter houses were great because if grandma & grandpa wanted to sleep but the 18year olds wanted to stay up there was enough space not to wake anyone.

Great location
This place is perfectly situated in wine country. There was a problem with the heater but the owner got someone there on the 1st day. She was very good about communicating everything with me.

Does not accommodate this many people if one room is so HOT!
We rented out the entire house, it was clean and accommodated our guest size except for one important thing, one of the largest rooms was RIDICULOUS HOT! This room had one AC unit which clearly could not cool the room. The Temp. In the room, Even with two fans on, was about 85degrees! I contacted manager and was told someone would go out the next day and no one came. I contacted manager again next morning and no response! Our Girl Scout Troop should be reimbursed for the money of having to endure this heat! The rooms adjacent had two AC units and was overall smaller, management should no better or not rent out property to accommodate this many people!
