Mike R. Apr 29, 2025 08:40:45 PM
Summary: This property is great for gatherings. We had family and friends over after our daughter received her ring at Texas State. The location was perfect for that. The large trees provided great shade and the kids enjoyed playing in the river with the tubes provided at the house. If you like hanging outdoors the deck is impressive and spans the entire back of the house with plenty of space for everyone!
