We had such a wonderful time. We were there to celebrate our 18th anniversary. I am a workaholic and was disappointed in the spotty wifi. Well I thought I was disappointed, after the first couple of hours I forgot all about working. In fact, all of us forgot about all of our electronics! I have never seen the girls so happy! They love animals and could not get enough of the horses and the donkey. The cabin was wonderful. Letting the breeze blow with the doors open was like magic. There are so many things we enjoyed, I could go on for days. Like the fresh eggs, fruit, and orange juice to the paddle boat sunsets, the great fishing stories, to the girls running out of the cabin in their pj's just to see the animals. We had such an amazing time and want to thank you for letting us borrow your "paradise" for the few days we were there.
I hope we get to return soon!!!

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!
