Please note: All guests will be required to sign a renter's agreement/point of contact form & schedule a refundable security deposit to finalize their booking. We ask that you pay attention to these important notes for your safety & so that we can continue to offer this property for years to come for the enjoyment of many Central TX guests:
-No glass outside especially by pool (plastic/stainless steel drinkware & koozies provided)
-While super private, this home is located in a neighborhood and we ask that guests be courteous of quiet hours between 10pm-8am.
-No additional daytime or overnight guests, events, parties or celebrations other than for guests registered and staying at the property. Please contact us if you would like to discuss special circumstances, conditions or arrangements.
-Explore the property at your own risk (watch out for snakes, cattle & other critters).
Rest assured that the home is treated regularly both inside & outside for bugs and insects. However, given our rustic location, we ask that you use caution as it’s possible to stumble upon an unwelcome insect from time to time indoors (and sometimes they are TX sized).
-Please crate pets if leaving them at the property (large crate provided) & pick up waste with waste bags provided.
-Security cameras are located on the exterior of the house. While our main objective is for the safety of our guests and security of our property, unapproved pets, unregistered guests and unapproved events/gatherings will be visible and could result in loss of deposit or termination of stay.
