We had a great weekend. This house is beautiful and the sleeping arrangements are perfect! Lovely baths and kitchen. Great laundry room, too. Bathrooms are fully stocked with nice towels. There's plenty to do with a very nice ping pong table, small arcade game, yard games, and pool and lake toys.
I took off one star from cleanliness ONLY b/c the outside could have been better. The lakeside furniture was quite dirty-we had to wash it off before sitting on it and the patio had sticky, syrupy looking stuff on it. It could have been from the tree that kept dropping some kind of fruit all over the ground???? Also, the propane grill is in pretty rough shape and had food particles on it when we got ready to use it. I'd say grill at your own risk- the burners either need deep cleaning or replacing.
As far as location I also took off one star only b/c the surrounding neighborhood is pretty shakey. The row of homes where this one is, is lovely. But most everything around it is unkempt. Now, this said, it's very close to Kingsland and very easy to get to. These are great things!
The water was great for skiing and tubing. It wasn't crowded and the views are just beautiful. However, true to the very careful warning from the owner and property manager, there are zebra mussels everywhere in the water. They're very sharp. Know ahead of time you'll need river/water shoes if you plan to swim.
I'd suggest you bring heavy duty plastic ware if you're going to have more than about 6 people. There were not enough forks, knives, and spoons for our 12 people. There were plenty of nice plates, bowls, and mugs.
The property manager is very attentive. It's a beautiful home and one which you'll enjoy completely as long as you know and plan for a few of the particulars.
