Our family rented this house based on proximity to the state park, Blue Bell Creamery, and College Station.
I'll start pluses! The house is absolutely gorgeous with beautiful fixtures and a perfect sitting porch downstairs. It has plenty of bathrooms and kitchen space, and the beds/baths/kitchen were well-stocked with soap, linens, and cooking supplies. The beds are comfortable, and we REALLY appreciated the outdoor lighting on the deck, up both sets of stairs, underneath on the porch, and over the driveway. Communication was TOP NOTCH whenever we had questions, and the property is super quiet. Lots wildlife to observe, too!
Negatives (and really these are very minor). The sliding doors in the living room and the window in the kitchen really need curtains/blinds. The kitchen window is especially blinding right at sunset. The amount of crickets upstairs was INSANE, but I also understand it is a country house. My kids had fun rescuing them and releasing them. We were not aware the upstairs and downstairs were seperate quarters only accessible by outside stairs. That makes things difficult when you have little kids who dont like being away from Mom and Dad, but we made it work. And finally, it seems the septic has had some recent work done? The second bath upstairs with the stand alone shower had a funky sewer smell sometimes and made gurgling noises when you flush the toilet. But again...minor things! Overall our stay was absolutely beautiful and we would 100% book again!
