Delightful Experience!

We just spent a delightful weekend at Cool Water Acres and loved everything about it! We were met by happy, smiling dogs and a flock of beautiful chickens. Our neat and tidy home-away-from-home was filled with so many fun details: fresh eggs and fruit in the fridge (in the fully-equipped kitchen), a comfy couch, a cozy window seat, firm mattress on the queen bed, cowboy/western-themed art and accessories, direct TV, a collection of video tapes and books,Texas Highways magazines, big screened-in patio, original wood on the porch and throughout the house and much, much more. The hosts are the coolest - very gracious and friendly. They made us feel very much at home. The dogs visited us each day. The horses let us pet them and one chicken showed her appreciation for a few vegetable scraps by laying an egg on the porch! The house has great cross-ventilation, especially in the front area, so we only used the AC to cool the house down when we returned from our day's outing. My husband enjoyed using the electric boat to do some catch and release fishing. We used the peddle boat to get a good look at the whole lake. We saw deer on the property at night. We didn't use it, but the house also has a grill for cooking outdoors. Cool Water Acres is very close to Bandera with its great music venues. The 11th Street Cowboy Bar and Arkey Blue's Silver Dollar are favorites. Be sure to go to Mac and Ernie's Roadside Eatery just inside Tarpley on 470. What a surprise! I could go on and on, but needless to say, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and recommend the place highly!
