About Penny Slack

My husband and I have always considered retiring in the Hill Country, but with three kids that would not be happening any time soon. We have not planned on looking for a retirement home until we saw this one. We immediately fell in love with the location, the beautiful oak trees, and the creek. You still have the feel of being in the country, but are close to many attractions. We have found that as a family this is a perfect location to get away from everything and go relax and enjoy each other’s company. We hope you too will enjoy your stay and take advantage of what all it has to offer.

Penny Slack purchased this house in 2009
Why Penny Slack chose Johnson City

We chose Johnson City because of it's prime location to so many attractions. There is so much to do as a family, a couple, or an individual. It is a great place to make family memories together.

What makes this house unique

One of our favorite places to go is the The Wildlife Ranch outside of New Braunsfels. You can enjoy an entire day driving through the ranch looking and feeding all the unique animals and follow it with a picnic lunch. We also enjoy the market days in Fredericksburg every 3rd weekend of the month. It is a great place to shop for antiques and unique gift items. There is also plenty of food and bands that play. There are still so many others that I could mention, but these are by far our favorite.

Awesome place to stay!

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Apr 22, 2013
  • Stayed: Apr 2013
When we walked into the house it was exactly, if not better, than the pictures. The house was spotless and had everything we need for a great stay. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could possibly need/want, plenty of dishes, silverware, pots/pans, everything. The beds were all comfortable and the area was great. The house was stocked with everything we needed, paper towels, soap, toilet paper, everything, all we needed was our food and personal items. They even had games, books, recent magazines, maps and area information. I loved it that they had games and books for my 2 year old grandaughter to play with and look at. I thought the ad said there wasnt any tv reception, but to our surprise we had Direct TV with plenty of stations. They also had a LARGE selection of movies to watch on the DVR. The yard was awesome with a creek running through it. We didnt have time to go down to the creek and its a steep walk so my 82 year old mother couldnt have done it. It was nice to sit on the patio in the morning drinking coffee looking down at it.

It is a little further out than I thought (about 5 miles south of Johnson City) but it was well worth it. The house is a block or so off 281 so easy to get to everything from there. We had a great time and are already talking about reserving it again next year for another family trip. I would definitely recommend this place. The price was more reasonable than it would have been for 2 hotel rooms and it was so nice. Just left yesterday and they are already processing my refund for my deposit. I would HIGHLY recommend this house for anyone traveling to the Texas Hill Country area.

Good property for a vacation with your pet

This was a very clean quiet property in a great rural neighborhood. The yard was spacious and open and great for our dog -- but be warned the fence is definitely not escape proof.
You also probably want to arrive with bottled water for drinking.

Great weekend with friends....

Our stay at this rental was for a weekend with 7 of us staying at the home. We were all very comfortable during our stay. The listing is accurate however they do now have satellite for the tv. The internet is not wi-fi but according to Penny they are working to get that to happen. FYI: The internet cable is located right by the tv in the living room. We did have a college student with us using the internet to write a paper so it was quite entertaining to watch her work and watch tv at the same time. Hope that paper gets her an "A". Ha! The photos on the website are accurate, the property was very clean and well maintained. I had to call Penny with a few questions and she responded quickly and was so kind and helpful. I would recommend this property. One problem we had was with the coffee pot. We assumed the minerals in their water caused the coffee pot to take a very long time to brew (almost an hour). We bought some vinegar and ran it through the pot several times and that seemed to help. If we would stay there again, we would bring our own coffee pot...easy fix. Also, there are no doors in the bathroom located in the master bedroom (toilet/tub area). A curtain would be nice to give you a little privacy. We sure enjoyed our visit to this area! We will probably make this an annual trip. Thank you Penny for making the home available and we would definitely consider renting this home again!

We found your home to be very comfortable and homey. The house was very nice and clean. I think the only complaint was there was no TV. It would have been nice to have the basic channels for news watching in the a.m. Otherwise, it was nicely appointed and had all the supplies we needed. I slept in the bedroom with the bunk beds and there was no mattress pad on the bed which was a little uncomfortable. We would certinly stay here again and would recommend this home to other visitors.
