"We made a quick trip to the hill country during the holidays. Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised to find subtle Christmas decorations outside the home, adding a touch of warmth to the surroundings. Inside, a well decorated Christmas tree in the living area provided a cozy and welcoming atmosphere.
Beyond the festive touches, the home itself was a comfortable retreat, instantly making us feel at ease. Carmen's attention to detail, combined with the inviting decor, created a space that truly felt like home.
Located in a growing area and conveniently close to neighboring cities and towns, the property offered both security of neighborhood living and accessibility. Whether you're looking for a peaceful getaway or a base for exploring the region, this place is a fantastic choice.
Our overall experience was excellent, and we highly recommend this property. Carmen's thoughtful touches and the home's welcoming vibe make it a standout option for any traveler. Carmen is great host! ~Randall

"Inquiring for booking down to the day we left Carmen was exceptional with communicating & quick responses.
Her home was phenomenal, welcoming, and super inviting. We walked in the back gate to unload the back yard was warm, peaceful & so beautifully laid out. We enjoyed relaxing on the back patio after floating the San Marcos river.
As we walked in the front door the scent she used was alluring. I've rented plenty of homes where they smelled stale so this is a huge thing for me. Her home was clean & in tip top shape.
The rooms were spacious, well equipped, all of the beds were comfortable including the bunk beds.
The house has beautiful decor, furniture & her plants were real. The kitchen & RR was fully stocked.Thank you" ~ Shay

"The Stay was wonderful. This house could sleep an army. It boasts loads of room in each area and a yard bigger than any I can see in the neighborhood. If you are a golfer, I think this is a snowbird's dream. Plum Creek has a lovely course. This BnB is nestled between the best parts of Texas: Austin, San Marcos, New Braunfels, and San Antonio. You want to visit Central Texas? This place is the bomb." ~ Amy

"Staying with Carmen was very nice! The house was clean, kitchen had all the appliances we needed and enough space for everyone. It felt more like home than renting a place to stay. We even had a change of plans where we would need to stay past the check out time, and Carmen was quick to let us know we could stay a couple hours later (which was a big weight off our shoulders). Will definitely come back to this house the next time we visit Austin. Thanks Carmen!" ~ Joseph
"This home was perfect for our group. A beautiful home with lots of space, plenty of beds, a large deck, and a fire pit out back. We were in town for my son's graduation and the location was great - close to Texas State University and in a nice, quiet community in Kyle. The hosts are friendly and communicated well. Loved all the extra touches... stocked coffee bar, plenty of towels, notes and labels which were very helpful! Carmen is very responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay here again!" ~ Kelly
