My Sister-in-Law and I planned a hiking trip for Garner & Lost Maples State Parks. The home was spacious, clean and cozy. It was a nice place to come back to after long days of hiking. We had a broken toilet and it was fixed within 2 hours. The maintenance guy gave us a great tip about where we could grab delicious burgers and he was on point! Great trip and I highly recommend this location.

If you are looking for quite, you will find it here. If you are motorcycle riders this is a great spot to make your rides from.
The house was very comfortable. Very clean when we arrived. You will find everything you need provided in the house. Except food of course. We enjoyed having breakfast every morning and then fixing dinner at night.
You are not allowed to use charcoal for a fire so make you are prepared if you want to cook on the grill.
We thoroughly enjoyed walking to the pond in the evenings and feeding the fish. We loved it so much we bought dog food at the store to feed them along with the bread.
Was a little disappointed with the Eagles Nest. I thought it would be right out the back and we could go out in the morning and have coffee and just relax. Unfortunately the Eagles Nest is a 1/4 mile, uphill from the house. I would not recommend walking up there in the dark.
Overall we had a wonderful time and would definitely stay again.
NOTE, it wanted me to rate the communication with the owners. There wasn't any so I left a five star because of all the little things.

Was nice. Little older but in good shape. Everything we needed was there. Beds were comfortable.

We stayed at this wonderful house to celebrate my husband's birthday and it was perfect! We needed to disconnect from the city and this was exactly what we hoped for! The house was very simple but perfect for our needs. The views are spectacular! We absolutely loved the lookout! Other than the need to drive quite a distance for any of the big box stores (which is a really fun drive btw), you really don't need anything! We loved our stay and hope to be back soon!
The property was exactly as decribed. It was perfect for our needs for our stay. It was close enough to everything we needed to get to: Garner State Park, the Frio River, but far enough away, so when we wanted to just relax we were away from everything. It was very clean, and had all the things we needed. I would recommend it to anyone and stay there again myself.
