Great Property, and great stay. Would have been nice to know there are two property's side by side. When a truck pulled in late at night we didn't know for sure what was happening. The outside area by the table and little shed could have been a little cleaner. But other than that everything was great.

The home was clean and VERY spacious. It was tucked away from the road with beautiful trees and a pond. There were plenty of towels, the kitchen was well stocked, and the washer and dryer were great to have. If I make another trip to the Palestine area, I would 100% book again.

The houses were perfect for our family weekend for the Polar Express. They were only 25 minutes to Palestine. Management was very helpful & had the houses ready for early check-in . The houses were very clean and cutely decorated. The kids loved fishing & feeding the fish in the pond. Would definitely recommend staying there.

The house was amazing! We loved the decor and was super spacious. The outside needs some attention though. We were looking forward to sitting by the fire and cooking out, but it had not been cleaned up and the lights did not work so that was a bummer. There also is a step on the stairs that needs to be replaced. We had a great time though and enjoyed the house. Thank You!

Check-in was simple, host was responsive, and amenities are nice. Cleanliness could be improved upon. Cob webs and dead bugs in bedrooms, hair in bathroom drawers, and there was a dirty plate with what looked like spaghetti still on it that was put away with the clean dishes. We had to go to Walmart and purchase some cleaning supplies. Could also use new pots and pans. We were unable to use the main tv in the living room because the cable box was broken. WiFi, when it worked, was very slow. Overall, we were happy with our stay. Next time, we would probably book the ruby cabin instead of the sapphire.

A perfect place for a one night stay or a week. Very nicely decorated and super clean. Lots of things to do and see within a fairly short distance. Plenty of room for kids to enjoy indoor and outdoor activities.

Our family members between ages 63 to 88 spent the weekend together here and had a wonderful time. Between us all, we tote a lot of pills. Made s’mores, saw some huge fish, and laughed till we hurt.Wonderful surroundings. Good food at Rumps bbq.
