Spacious Rental for Large Group
My family, 4 adults and 3 children (children's ages 9, 5, and 2) enjoyed our stay at the Looking Glass home. Terry, our host was very kind and accommodating before and during our stay. The home's arrangement was perfect because my daughter and her family had the upstairs and my husband and I took the downstairs bedroom. That gave everyone plenty of room and privacy. We were glad to see the TV was set up with YouTube TV so we could watch football and the baseball playoffs! Some simple things could be addressed (ie.new cushions on outdoor furniture) to update this rental, but it didn't impact our wonderful time at this rental.

Enjoyable Staycation
Enjoyed our stay with family and friends. Terry was very responsive and down to earth. Check in was a breeze, and there was not too much cleaning that was asked of us at the end of our stay. Which, personally, I appreciate. As a heads up, the stairs are rather steep!

Great stay for a large group/family
The house was so big, beautiful, and spacious. Plenty of towels and kitchen utensils and appliances. We really enjoyed the upstairs deck and hot tub. But we made use of the entire house. (Great bar). The location was good for floating the river, schlitterbahn, and natural bridge caverns. (All within 30 minutes or less). The info book was full of good info. We are out once at GrannyD’s and it was really good. Rest of the time we cooked at the house. 10/10 would recommend! Terry was quick to respond to any questions I had. I would definitely stay there again. Everyone loved it !

This place is everything that everything the Hill Country is! From the gorgeous house to the view of Canyon Lake, and the deer hanging out back my family and I loved it. The house is so incredibly spacious and had everything we needed along the way. The owners were incredibly helpful and kind. We cannot wait to go back. P.S. I now need a tree in my living room :)

Eclipse trip
We came for the total solar eclipse of 2024 - too many clouds to actually see it but the trip was still wonderful. Terry is the nicest, most accommodating host. The house is amazing and we spent most of our time there. The only lacking star was the entrance at the driveway was a little rough for the super-low sports car that we rented - otherwise a perfect rental.

Great home close to The Preserve Wedding Venue
This home worked out perfectly for our family members who had traveled to Texas for a wedding at The Preserve. We had 8 who stayed and a few others who gathered for our Rehearsal Dinner. It’s a fun space with the tree room, lots of eclectic decor, well equipped kitchen, koi pond, hot tub, and other amenities. Unfortunately we didn’t spend much time outdoors or use the hot tub because the weather was too hot. However early mornings were nice to sit outside and watch the deer come through the yard. Terry, the owner is friendly and easy to communicate with. We enjoyed seeing a light show one evening with amazing lightning and thunder that we’re not used to seeing at our home. It’s a perfect home for a big group to gather. Fortunately there is a nice bedroom on the first level, because the stairs to the upper level are quite steep. Great place!

Fantastic getaway for groups!
We booked a long weekend to celebrate my husband and his 3 best friends turning 40. Each guy brought his family. In total we had 8 adults, 5 kids and 1 service dog. There were plenty of towels and dishes for everyone and most importantly there was enough seating in the living room for everyone to hang out (a lot of houses we looked at had 2 regular couches and no other seating) and in the dining room for us to play cards against humanity. Check in was easy and convenient, communicating with terry was incredibly easy and he was so helpful!! Check out was easy as pie as well. The outdoor area and the hot tub were amazing, the house is very close to the lake and a grocery store, we will absolutely be back!! I can't say enough great things about the whole experience, everything went perfectly thanks to Terry.

Fun family weekend get away
We are family of 12 (10 adults and 2 kids) and 1 little furry member, a Shih Tzu. This place is a perfect place to call home away from home! The house is absolutely a beautiful and comfortable place to be. Both inside and outside atmosphere are very comforting and relaxing. Had a couple of downside but it is fixable knicks and Mr. Terry, the host had quickly response and fixed it. Overall, we had a great time and definitely not the first and last booking we do to this wonderful home away from home.

Celebration of Life
This weekend we celebrated the life of my beautiful sis-n-law that was taken way too soon, my nieces 21st birthday, moms 68th and Mother’s Day. The house was perfect for everything we wanted to do from singing karaoke and barbecuing to having a seafood boil and watching the sunset. The weather cleared up enough just in time for us to float the River, enjoy the hot tub, relax on the hammock and play a few outside games. Highly recommend!!
