Beautiful home. Has everything you would want or need. Kitchen well stocked. Loved the pool area!! Host was wonderful.
This is our place anytime we find ourselves in La Grange, TX.
This was the perfect getaway for a few days. The property is very calm and peaceful with lots of wildlife to view. The kids had a great time relaxing in the pool.
The house and space was the perfect place for our family gathering. The house was just as described. Very spacious, beautiful pool and surrounding land. Watched deer pass through the yard every evening. We loved the eclectic decor, and the spacious, comfortable and clean bedrooms and bathrooms. There was plenty of room for all. Leslie was very attentive at check-in, during our stay, and on departure. If you’re looking for a secluded, yet close to town, cozy and spacious home to rent, look no further.
Peaceful! Pool was great! But you are out in the country so there are some small visitors…🦂🕷️But it was a great time!
Lagrange is a cute little town…get of the freeway and explore!
Our group has been girl tripping for 20 years and the Smiling Fox is our favorite spot. Lovely home, pool, and setting. Best stocked VRBO we’ve ever stayed in. Welcoming and helpful host. When 7 retired teachers have no complaints, you know it’s a gem!
The pictures don’t do this place justice! The whole family enjoyed it. We fished, swam, cooked, enjoyed the peace and quiet, and slept well. Everything we could have needed was there. It truly is a wonderful place and we all want to go back for another stay. Lezlie was responsive and a great host:) Book it and enjoy!
Spent a wonderful long weekend here with family and friends. It was the perfect place to stay for Roundtop/Warrenton shopping. Nice, clean, comfortable and so many special touches. Host and hostess were quick to respond to our needs and questions, and they were always so gracious to us (even when we locked ourselves out of the house). Would definitely go back!
We had a wonderful time with family. Lezlie was very accommodating when we needed something but, otherwise, left us to have our time together. The pool was great and there was plenty of space for our family of 8. Thank you, Lezlie!
Came to La Grange for a wedding and wanted a place close to the town, yet quiet. This place did not disappoint! We had everything we needed and room to spread out with all the bedrooms and multiple gathering rooms. Loved the cattle next to the property, too!
We really loved this property! The weather could have been better but that didn’t stop us from enjoying ourselves. The owners were quick to respond to any questions/requests we had. We exchanged Christmas gifts early and had a nice surprise to find the owner had made us little Christmas stockings filled with little goodies.
Our family all enjoyed this lovely place in the quiet country side but close to LaGrange for shopping or eating out. Check out the small town of Winchester and eat at Murphy’s steakhouse. Excellent. The pool was so nice and clean and the grandchildren loved it.
Thank you Leslie for your hospitality and checking on us to see if we needed anything. I recommend this lovely place to anyone wanting to relax and enjoy peaceful serenity. ❤️
Private setting. Best outfitted home we’ve ever stayed in our 20 years of girl trips. Beds comfortable. Sparkling pool. The only neighbors we saw were deer and long horn cattle. The owner was helpful, prompt with requests, and unobtrusive . This was our second time to stay at the Smiling Fox Den, but it won’t be our last. We are all grateful to have discovered this gem.
We spent the weekend at the Smiling Fox Den after our daughter's Friday night wedding in La Grange. It was just like home with our daughter/son-in-law & grandkids and son/fiance just hanging out and catching our breath after the festivities.
The house is spacious, warm & fully equipped and it reminded me a little of the farmhouse I grew up in.
Both grandkids enjoyed some time in the pool, and our grandson caught a bunch of bass fishing at the pond. We all also enjoyed several long walks around the property.
"The Den" is a terrific choice for families or couples seeking a peaceful getaway in the country!
We had a wonderful long weekend at Lezlie's ranch house. We spent most of our time in the beautiful backyard and pool. It was perfect for socializing and enjoying the beautiful scenery, which included longhorns, deer and rabbits! The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals and snacks. House comfortably slept seven adults. This is a great place to relax and simply enjoy being with family and friends. Thanks, Lezlie, for being so helpful. We'll be back!
We came to La Grange for a family wedding. The home was better than the pictures. Clean and so easy to fit right in. We had a diverse group when we booked the hone ages ranging from 10 to 90! However not all could make the trip - BUT we still had a blast and it would have been a perfect fit of they did come. The 10yr old loved the pool, adults thought it was a lil chilly. Great location from Round Top where all the wedding events took place. Will definitely book again when wr go back that way!
This house and property were perfect for our two families to get away for a week. We had everything we needed and didn't need to leave the house at all. Lezlie was so nice and responsive. I had questions the week before we arrived regarding grills, etc and she responded super fast. The pool was great and we fished in the pond. The house was more than big enough for 8 people. The kitchen, living, and dining area are open to each other so it was easy to be cooking and communicating with everyone else. It was spotlessly clean and decorated so cute. We will be back! I can't wait to come back and travel into town and see what La Grange has to offer!
We took a girls trip here for Round Top. Loved waking up and seeing the wildlife while drinking coffee. The drive was 20-30 minutes depending on traffic to round top and super easy to get to. We found the house to be well stocked and very clean. The bathrooms were excellent. The Owner responded to any questions very quickly. Would love to stay here again.
We absolutely loved this house for a ladies weekend away!
Such a great house and grounds. The house was spacious, the kitchen fully appointed and the beds/bedding were very nice.
The pool was such an added bonus.
We will definitely be back.
The house provided a perfect long girls’ weekend getaway. We loved the pool area and tiki hut!! The house provided all of the necessities we needed for our weekend, and The kitchen provided all of the supplies needed for our cooking needs. We look forward to booking again in the future.
We 7 mature ladies travel once or twice a year together. We love the Texas hill country for peace and quiet. We shop, swim, have cocktail, play games and eat. The kitchen as well as the entie house was very well equipped. This property was perfect for us and we will probably be staying again.
Lezlie was a fabulous communicator before and during our stay. This property is absolutely stunning. The house is set back in a quiet location surrounded by rolling hills and longhorns. The pool and backyard were the places we gathered. A short drive to all the antiquing we came for. So thankful for this space and time. A perfect getaway! We'll be back!
