Family Christmas gathering

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.

Rare find!

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!

Great stay!

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!

So glad we found this place!

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!

Great Place for Girls Long Weekend

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.

Peaceful country place

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. ❤️

Plan to return!

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.

Wonderful, Quiet Getaway

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!

Great Friends Getaway

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!

Family Wedding Bells

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!

Perfect Social Distancing Getaway!

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!

Great Location

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.

Beautiful

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!
