Summary: The house was perfect for a Celebration of my daughter's graduation. Very cozy places to sit and eat and just have a fun time hanging with family and friends. We did not get to utilize the backyard due to weather, but the yard was cute and looked exactly like the pictures.

Summary: The property was a great place for our group of 8+ guys. House was very clean and well-appointed. Sleeping arrangements were comfortable and entertaining space was excellent - especially the back yard. Close enough to walk to Kyle Field (though we chose to drive and park at the Chicken). Owners Marcie and Rene were very responsive and friendly. 5-stars all around - we'll be back!
