Reviews

Julie R. Dec 1, 2024 06:43:49 AM
Summary: We just stayed at the Spicewood Creek Retreat for our family Thanksgiving and it was truly perfect. The house itself was spacious and clean with a cozy Hill Country flare. The open-plan living and dining area was perfect for our family to spend time together. The kitchen was wonderfully stocked with everything we needed to prepare our Thanksgiving feast, and the dining room had plenty of space for everyone to sit and enjoy the meal while taking in the scenic beauty outside. The bedrooms were comfortable and provided plenty of space for everyone. It felt like a true home away from home. Our favorite part of the house was the wrap around deck and outdoor seating which provided the ideal setting for morning coffee. We can’t recommend this property enough for anyone looking for a beautiful, serene getaway.
Sonia M. Nov 28, 2024 05:30:51 AM
Summary: Our family of 7 stayed in this beautiful home for a short vacation from the hustle and bustle of the city. My mom/dad had their own bedroom πŸ˜‚. The private creek was my favorite. We enjoyed the entire property. We played corn-hole, ping-pong and lounged around all the seating areas. The county had a burn band so we couldn’t use the bonfire outside. However, Sheila, the property manager, helped use fireplace and took good care of us. We had the best time together as a family. The home had everything a family could need/want.
PAM A. Nov 21, 2024 01:21:23 AM
Summary: Lovely remote location perfect for a family get together. Daily day trip driveable to Waco, Austin, San Antonio and Fredricksburg.
Laura S. Oct 29, 2024 05:29:28 AM
Summary: Six senior ladies, friends for life, enjoyed this well appointed property. Owner and staff are very receptive and quick to respond. Thank you for hosting our stay!
A R. Sep 7, 2024 10:03:00 AM
Summary: We had a splendid time at this property. It's a lovely location and beautiful views. Very peaceful and tranquil.
Jenny S. Jul 30, 2024 06:24:46 AM
Summary: 8 of us stayed for my husband’s 50th birthday. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and relax. Our goal for the weekend was to Chill - the wrap around porch and multiple seating areas were perfect. We visited Iron Wolf Distillery and heard a great band and then went to Sorellina Pizzaria for dinner (it was phenomenal). Would definitely stay again. The property itself is also gorgeous! We wished the water in the spring had been flowing, it was still, so we opted not to swim.
Cindy S. Apr 29, 2024 01:37:30 AM
Summary: The home and property are beautiful and very well maintained. We spent most our time on the back porch. Great time catching up with the cousins at a beautiful home!
Lanie S. Dec 6, 2023 04:05:03 PM
Summary: The house was beautiful and perfect for our group. It was so cozy and comfortable and was spotless. There was plenty of room to gather indoors, but we spent most of our time sitting on the porches, around the fire pit, and especially down by the creek. I wish we had more time to enjoy the other areas like the swing and the hammock, but we spent most of our time hiking during the day (highly recommend Milton Reimers Ranch Park nearby). But the thing that makes this house really special is the beautiful setting. The rock formation and beautiful clear creek right behind the house felt like a destination in itself. It was really magical to see it, and the pictures don’t do it justice. We truly loved this place and would definitely stay there again.
Carolyn S. Nov 1, 2023 11:51:12 AM
Summary: This was our second stay at Carol's house in Spicewood. The house had plenty of room for our group of six to relax and unwind, both in the house and on the great wraparound covered porch area. It was a good location for day trips to Fredericksburg, Marble Falls, Gruene & more. Our only difficulty was the road leading to the house was fairly washed out and tricky to maneuver, but this was outside the owner's control. She was very quick to respond and send maintenance for issues she could address. We were very happy with our stay here.
Laura S. Oct 20, 2023 01:42:36 AM
Summary: great location, very roomy, fits our needs completely. Kitchen is great and living room setup is perfect for our group of six, more than enough room.
