“Fantastic Stay for Our Work Retreat – Highly Recommend!”

Work colleagues and I needed a place to stay for events nearby. This was an excellent property for our needs. The bedrooms were all comfortable. We had enough privacy and the location was quiet. There was also wonderful space for collaboration and camaraderie in the living and dining areas. The kitchen and bath rooms were beautiful and well appointed to add to our comfort. The communication and hospitality extended by our hosts was exceptional. I hope business or personal needs enable me to come back to this terrific property.

Department Meeting & Stay

This was a business trip that combined our lodging, meal, and meeting needs into one location. The host was responsive, kind, and overall very welcoming. The home has every amenity possible and we didn't go without. The home was beautiful, clean, well decorated, and felt like staying in a 5-star resort! We will absolutely stay here again in the future.

Wonderful vacation

Our stay at this home was absolutely incredible, and Kristi, our host, made it all the more special. From start to finish, everything was seamless – communication with Kristi, the booking process, accessing the property, and even checking out. The house was spotless, cozy, and stocked with everything we needed for a memorable family vacation and the back yard was a great place for our family to just hang out, unplugged and enjoy the evening. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Amazing Home!

We had 5 adults (2 couples/1 single) going to a wedding. This home had EVERYTHING we needed and then some! It was spacious, yet cozy and was perfect for our group. We just wish it was a bit warmer so we could have taken advantage of the beautiful backyard. The kitchen had every utensil, pot, plate, glass, you could think of & the house was adorably decorated with so many different gathering spots. The beds & bedding were divine giving everyone a great night's rest. Kristi was attentive & provided local dining & shopping recommendations that we took. Manuel's margaritas & service were incredible! We plan on checking out the other properties & highly recommend the 12th Man Retreat to everyone!

Best VRBO Ever!

Kristi is one of the best hosts we've ever had at a VRBO. The home exceeded our expectations—super clean, beautifully furnished, and filled with thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we could possibly need, unlike many other VRBOs with sparse kitchen amenities. They truly thought of everything, from ample seating to luxurious linens! We spent a lot of time in the spacious backyard and cozy patio, which were both beautiful and relaxing. We had a blast playing cornhole and other yard games provided. Instacart delivered our HEB order, and DoorDash was super convenient too. We highly recommend this property and will definitely stay here again when we're in the area.
