Dive into the season with our pristine saltwater pool and unwind in one of our two hot tubs. We've got you covered with beach towels and a variety of pool toys for endless fun!

Embrace the fresh spring mornings with a perfectly brewed cup from our well-stocked coffee bar. Whether you prefer k-cups or ground coffee, we have both available, and you're welcome to bring your favorite blends.

Get ready for game day or a family feast in our spacious kitchen, equipped with ample counter space and a wide array of utensils, cookware, and appliances. If you're looking for a specific item, just ask – we likely have it!

For an additional touch of comfort, housekeeping is available during your stay at $25/hour with a two-hour minimum.

Stay connected and productive with a dedicated workspace in the kitchen, complete with a laptop, printer, and extra paper. Enjoy our high-speed wifi and the convenience of an Alexa-enabled house.

For your outdoor enjoyment, we provide firewood for the BBQ pit and fire pit, along with a spare bottle of propane for the grill.

Laundry is a breeze with our washer and dryer. We supply Tide pods and dryer sheets, but please avoid overloading the machines.

Traveling with little ones? We offer a high chair and pack n play for rental. Just message us for details.

Accommodation options abound with four bedrooms, two twin-size and two queen-size memory foam folding beds, plus a comfortable sofa for extra guests. All necessary bedding is provided.

Your furry family members are welcome too! We appreciate your help in managing pet hair indoors and ask that you clean up after them outdoors. Please keep pets out of the pool and hot tubs. Feel free to explore our five acres, keeping in mind that the area is not fenced and there's a pasture with cows nearby.

WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD!

Where you are staying is part of a 100+ acre working farm and we have 20-30 head of cattle. In Texas we call anything less than 200 acres a farm, not a ranch.

You can see the windmills on your drive in, but don’t worry, the trees surrounding our property hide them once you’ve arrived.

You’ll follow an unpaved road to our entryway, and come down a gravel driveway. Parking is available in front of the house. Please keep vehicles off the grass.

The town of Mart is just a few miles up the road. It is home to a local grocery store, a liquor store, a dollar store, a gas station and a few restaurants.

IMPORTANT NOTES

We consider our property to be family-friendly and welcome children of all ages. However, we have described the house as rustic and mean it literally. All children should be closely supervised, indoors and out, at all times during your stay.

Please be aware, this property is VERY rural, and there are bugs and critters. While nobody has ever been stung that we are aware of, there are wasps/bees at all times of year if it’s warm. They are more prevalent during the spring and summer, but we do see them during warm fall and winter days as well. We do our best to manage these inconveniences. The house is sprayed every three weeks. Our maintenance man also walks the exterior before bookings and sprays any nests he finds. We keep extra wasp spray in the cast iron stove on the porch, and in the pantry indoors. It is available for our guests to use as needed, please help yourselves.

There are sharp edges, steps, and rusty tin inside the house. Outdoors, there are numerous potential dangers - pool, hot tub, pond, tank, natural wildlife, grills, glass, choking hazards, etc. These dangers should be carefully considered before booking this property. Guests will be asked to sign a waiver releasing us from liability.

The property has ring cameras. They are not routinely monitored, only reviewed if there has been an issue or disturbance.

A brief welcome package is located on the kitchen countertop. For any further information needed, please see complete manual located on top of the fridge.

Such a gem
Eight of us all enjoyed our stay! There was plenty of room for everyone to sleep comfortably. The house was well stocked with anything we might need, including flashlights & batteries for our power outage! We got to experience hit enough to swim & Jacuzzi to a couple of huge storms. It was all beautiful from our cozy house. Thank you.

Best stay for our large group
We had an absolute blast staying here! The house was so wonderful with lots of charm and plenty of space for all of us. The kids enjoyed the tank with rafts we brought and soaking in the hot tubs was icing on the cake. They played lots of cornhole and grilling was a breeze up at the pavilion. The rooms inside were huge and all 9 of us plus 3 dogs fit very comfortably. We spent most of our stay outdoors and loved the lights all around the property at night. I really enjoyed the manual the hosts made and was beyond helpful getting settled and again for checkout. Huge thank you to the hosts for a wonderful experience and hope to come back one day.

We had family meet there from Nebraska, Oregon and Texas for the ISU vs Baylor football game. We met in Waco two years ago and decided to come again. The house worked great for us and the epitome of a Texas farmhouse. Very cute and everywhere you looked there was just fun things. So much to do outside as well. There was so much rain while we were there that we didn't get to enjoy as much as we would have liked but that is mother nature.

Rustic but charming
The only major problem were the ants in the kitchen. They were everywhere. We had to throw away bread that had not even been open because they managed to get inside. They were even on the stove top when you were trying to cook. I did want to let you know one of the iron chairs outside the arm broke off. Also in the master bath left sink is leaking. We loved the arrangement of the home though. Thank you for everything though we had a great time.

A Great Getaway!
We were stunned at the size of the home. It was so spacious and no one was on top of each other! Bonus for sure! The pool during this TX summer was a fantastic time. We had corn hole wars, my son & husband cooked out on the grill every night. The kitchen comes well stocked with appliances!!! The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were amazing! The only down fall was the pond is so full of moss you can’t even fish but that’s Texas for you. It felt like home away from home and would definitely come back! Thank you so much for the hospitality!

Amazing Property
Such a beautiful property and the most well-stocked Vrbo I've ever stayed. Hosts were super communicative, especially when a giant storm came thru and we lost power for a couple of hours. The pool was refreshing and clean. Lawn was recently mowed and we didn't encounter too many mosquitos. Would definitely stay here again!

Rustic Charm
This property is better in person than in the pictures. It has everything you could possibly need. A lot of love went into decorating. We stayed here on our way home from visiting Big Bend and it was a welcoming place to chill. We stayed in the pool for a large part of the time since it was so hot, so it was just what we needed. We enjoyed our stay very much!
