Newly remodeled in 2014. Half mile from Belton Lake & 2 local boat launches. You will be one hour North of Austin and 45 min South of Waco. The house is perfect for family reunions, a nice relaxing vacation or a fun family Texas getaway. Great location for families looking to explore Waco's Magnolia attractions, Downtown Austin, Downtown Belton & the tasty Bbq attractions, historic town of Salado & their wonderful Wineries & Breweries or any of the beautiful surrounding lakes and rivers Central Texas has to offer.

The perfect spot
This is the cleanest VRBO we’ve ever stayed in. It was well appointed with linens and towels. The neighborhood was quiet, and the location was convenient. Owners were extremely responsive and reasonable. We would stay again!

Nice house in a small town, perfect for our family Thanksgiving!
We had our family Thanksgiving here as it was a central location from all over Texas. Derek was very responsive and helpful when trying to figure out what we needed to make our Thanksgiving a success and enjoyable. Very nice house, nicely decorated and in a very nice area. Great to get out and walk around the neighboorhood. The backyard is ideal for relaxing and enjoying the weather. Also, pet friendly!! Thanks again for a great stay!

Enjoyed our stay!
The house was clean and comfortable and had lots of fun board games and nice televisions/electronics. We especially enjoyed the table with the wall of windows overlooking the big back yard for eating and playing games since we were there in July and it was hot during the day. The owner was pleasant to work with and the house was convenient to the lake, local parks and lots of great restaurants with delivery and take out services. The H-E-B Plus about a mile away was also very nice and convenient. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Perfect Fit
We were in town for a sporting event at the Expo. Our fellow family had a 2 year old so the crib, toys, baby monitor etc were all a perfect fit and saved them from having to travel with port a crib. The skee ball, darts and outside patio area were favorites of our younger guests and there was plenty of space to have the rest of the team over for a meal after the event. I utilize vrbo a few times a year and this host and property were as good as any I have stayed in. The few minor things that came up were a text away and the reply was super fast. If we attend this event again next year I will definitely look for this listing.

Nice property
Oven takes FOREVER to heat and only got to 350. Lots of cobwebs too. Never could get the TV to work following the instructions. Kind of weird to have to strip our own beds when paying for a rental. Overall not a bad experience though.

Electric was disconnected
Our second nighttime electric had been disconnected when we arrived at the property. The neighbors all had electric. We had to contact owner, they paid there bill and electric was back on at 11 PM. It was quite an inconvenience. We were at an event all day and were exhausted to come back snd find no electrictric at the property.

Clean
House was not clean. I have multiple pictures with date stamps if someone wants to challenge my assessment. Hire professionals to clean. Spend money on hand soap and dish soap (not a watered down version). Make sure the recycle makes it to the curb before the next renters show.

Disappointed
We checked out after one night due to uncleanliness which the owner admitted he had a replacement cleaning crew. When we texted problems with the house as requested in the owners book, the owner did not apologize he said we could check out. We did check out because we found a roach in the coffee maker, no wash clothes, damp towels in a cabinet, exposed wires, broken bulbs, dirty fish and turtle tanks, and no top sheet on the master bed. The master shower stall wax dirty and we were tired of fixing things. To unplug the patio lights I was directed to a location in the garage, but there was no working light in the garage, where I found exposed wires. I requested a refund from the owner for the three days after we checked out, but I haven’t heard from the owner! Please help me get a reasonable refund for this terrible first VRBO experience!

Folksy failure
Dirty dishes. Sticky door knobs. Full trash cans. Odor from turtle tank. Poor appliances. No internet. No TV. Rude management, except they are so proud of their “oasis” they refunded our stay minus the first day, but kept all the cleaning deposit - hopefully they put it to use before marketing this place again.
