It's true what they say, Location, Location, Location! The large property is peaceful and secluded. No neighbors are seen or heard. This is our group's second year here and we plan to come every summer! I truly mean it when I say it's my #1 pick for a vacation home in the state of Texas! We easily fit our group of 20. The layout of the house is great. The beds are super comfortable, bathrooms ... brand new. The kitchen has great counter space and tools needed for cooking for large groups. Everyone had a blast in the game room and around the fire pit. The pool and a hot tub that seats lots of people were clean and refreshing. Loved sitting on the porch swings watching the sunset.” - Cathy “This house nestled on a hill in Spicewood is spacious, clean, and has modern amenities. The house is much more spacious than it looks in the photos! We booked this house for a bachelorette party and everyone enjoyed the house and our time there. I would highly recommend this house for a large family or even a family reunion.” - Jessica “There's the hot tub that we all enjoyed, pool, game room, and televisions in every room, we love cooking and eating as a family, and the kitchen was perfect with everything we needed to cook a family dinner. There's a gas station nearby and an H‑E‑B less than 15 away, we stayed in the home enjoying the outdoors and each other's company, there's plenty to enjoy, and the kids loved it.” - Dolores “It truly exceeded our expectations. The size was perfect for an intimate gathering and the space itself was impeccable. The property and views were stunning.” - Tyler “Perfect for cozy vacations and family get-togethers. Activities like Lake Travis, Horse Riding, Vineyards, Brewery, Enchanted Rock park, etc. were within 1 hr drive.” - Sanjay “The house is in great condition and was very clean.
