Photos and Description of the Wichita Falls vacation house rental

Our romantic hideaway lies in absolute silence and peacefulness. You can still feel a trace of the 'wild west' out on this beautiful and totally unspoiled 42 acres of private property. Nobody and nothing is going to disturb you here. It is a pretty 1200 square foot cedar wood cabin with a fantastic view and an inground pool. There is lots of wildlife to see. Hummingbirds, armadillos and possums come right up to the house, also whitetail dear, bobcats, raccoons, turkeys, coyotes, vultures etc. There is also a private small lake/pond. In springtime everything is covered with wildflowers. This is also the blooming time of the cactus. The house is a cozy place, western style with 2 porches, 2 bedrooms, nice kitchen and fireplace. Enjoy breathtaking sunsets and absolute relaxation with your partner or family. Lots of things to do also for kids are nearby. Wichita Falls only ½ hour away (approx. 90.000 pop.), Golf, horseback riding, water sport and boat rental. Many large lakes close by.

Notes: There is an alarm system that had been integrated into the house when we had it built which probably wasn`t necessary at all. There are ceiling fans and of course a modern air condition/heating system. The house has large windows which is not so common in this part of the world, to enjoy the view. Good insulation. A nice fireplace, winter guests will be provided with firewood. Cosy atmosphere and rustic decor 'western style'. Nobody and nothing is going to bother you out here. Still it is only a relatively short drive into the city. With many possibilities for activities in the 'neighbourhood'. Fantastic location of the house with wonderful view in the middle of nature. Inground swimming pool with diving board and underwater light. 2 porches. A colibri feeder so you can enjoy watching the colibris while you are out on the porch. Gas grill on the porch. Toaster and Coffemachine in the kitchen.

Review Submitted: November 21, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
This is a beautiful home, nicely equipped, very well kept and clean. The local caretakers met us as promised. It was beyond our expectations. From the fresh air to the clear skies and stars at night (you can see the Milky Way) it was the most relaxing vacation we've had in years.
