Stay for the COTA GP

The property was beautiful and very clean! The only down side is that we weren’t able to utilize the pool due the water heater not working and it seemed the filter was not running so the pool seemed dirty. Otherwise the house was beautiful and check in and check out was easy.

Lovely home, peaceful getaway

The house is so warm and inviting and was stocked with all we would need for our family stay. My kiddos enjoyed the pool, rec room and the comfortable beds. I enjoyed being able to prepare a few home cooked meals in the stocked kitchen. We had to extend our stay a few extra days and our hostess, Paula, was so responsive and accommodating.This is a lovely rental and is appropriate for large families like mine. We will definitely be back!

Amazing location

From the house to the location to the views this is definitely a recommended place to stay. Our family is a group of 5 and there was more that enough space for us. Our children enjoyed the pool the entire time. Any communication with the property owner was great she was very quick to respond and answer any questions.

Great 4th of July visit

House and pool were great. Well stocked cupboards and basketball hoop in pool was a big hit. Loved taking morning and evening walks around the friendly neighborhood and seeing all the deer including some very young fawns.

Birthday celebration weekend!

A unique house layout for two families (four adults and three kids ages 12, 9 and 3) and a beautiful pool and landscape made this property the perfect place to celebrate a 40th birthday! We all enjoyed our stay so much and only wished it didn't have to end!

Family Gathering For a Wedding

We were in town for a family wedding at the Hudson Bend Ranch. This beautiful home was a wonderful gathering place for our family. It was a hot May weekend so the pool and all of the pool floaties and basketball hoop were very appreciated features of the home. The house was well stocked with kitchen items, bath and pool towels. There was even some board games and children’s toys. This home exceeded my expectations. Thank you, Paula!

Perfect for us

We were there for the April eclipse with our two kids and their families. The 4 kids were ages 2-7. The pool was a comfortable temperature and there were lots of floaties and things for the kids to use. The deck was perfect for eclipse watching and dinners. There were many staples in the fridge and pantry and stores were near by. We even appreciated the quality TP! Paula was helpful and always quick to respond.

Family Christmas Birthday Celebration

The home was beautiful and comfortable. We came together as a family to celebrate Christmas and my son's Christmas-Birthday. We felt at home in this exceptionally clean, nicely decorated and well stocked home. The kitchen is very spacious, allowing us to cook together while entertaining, using the open floor plan designed. Location is excellent, with many stores to include HEB grocery stores are just minutes away. There were more than enough room to accomodate our family of eight. Parking were available in-front of the garage and on the street. Paula is very kind-hearted, and was very responsive if we had questions. Definiitely will stay again and highly recommend this property. This was my second stay. PS: During the warmer months the pool will be very enjoyable.

We stayed at this property for 3 nights during Thanksgiving break. Our host Paula was very responsive to our needs and communication was excellent. The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet. Great location easy to get to stores if we needed anything. Very clean and safe. Amenities and pantry were stocked well. We felt at home and so comfortable here. We will book again for our next trip!

Lovely, clean and spacious home. We had a glitch using our code at the front door, but was quickly taken care of once we contacted management. Beautiful area, great pool with tons of toys. We were 8 adult family members and this house was perfect for us. We were in town for a wedding and couldn't find the iron to touch up our clothes. Management ordered an iron overnight from Amazon. Lot's of windows and light. Great air conditioning. Would highly recommend this house, and would definitely stay again!

Great family getaway

This was a wonderful house to spend the weekend. The master is upstairs. The other bedrooms are down, and thats where we relegated all the children! It was great they had their own tv area downstairs. We loved the pool. The view from the backyard was not the best as the house next was under construction. However there are lots of trees to obscure everything.

PERFECT!

Great house in a great location! It was perfect for our group of 8. It was a quick drive to town if we needed anything but far enough way from town that there was deer in the front yard this morning. Paula was great and responsive when I had any questions. Would stay again!
