Review Submitted: August 3, 2007 Date of Stay: August 2007
I know we all left a comment already. BUT, here it is Friday, and I am looking out the window thinking. . . I miss the cabin and quiet peace it gave us. I feel "homesick" for our little piece of heaven on earth. Our 3 girls loved it and our 3 year old thinks we bought the cabin and it is our other home "where the deer our mommy!" Can't wait to come back and enjoy simplicity again.

Cozy and peaceful!

rtwdanigirl Bossier City, Louisiana
Review Submitted: May 20, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
My husband and I planned this weekend getaway to celebrate my birthday. We had a wonderful time and just loved the cottage and all it's surroundings. The hill country and Lake Travis are so beautiful. We found the cottage to have just about everything we could need for a simple and relaxing getaway. If you want to use the washer and dryer, make sure to bring your own detergent.
p.s. The owners are very friendly! =)
Owner's Response: Thank you for your kind review. Sorry about being out of laundry detergent. We normally have that there. If there is anything missing, please let us know and we'll take care of it right away. - Bill.

Spring Break Hideaway

Review Submitted: March 25, 2008 Date of Stay: March 2008
The cabin was extremely clean and well maintained. It was very quiet and peaceful.

It is really nice for 2 people; however, the bathroom is extremely small.

My fiancee and I had a wonderful time this past weekend! It is in a great location for site-seeing and for travelling around the wonderful hill country. The amenities were wonderful and very relaxing. There was nothing to worrry about when it came to having a very peaceful place to rest and relax. Thank you for a wonderful piece of Heaven in the woods on the lake and in the Hill Country. We will return!!!

Perfect Little Cottage Perfectly Situated

Jacsun Houston, Texas
Review Submitted: January 8, 2008 Date of Stay: December 2007
I needed a place to retreat for awhile from holiday festivities in my household. I wanted to read, write, and knit, quitely, uninterrupted. I came upon exactly the right place and satisfied my quest for comfort and solitude.
Thank you to the owners!
