Weâve taken many lake trips and this was by far our favorite! The location was perfect, with a yard for the kids to play and fish as we pleased. The house was well-stocked with essentials. Owners were great at communicating.
Wonderful property and amazing hosts!! Best time we have ever had at the lake and it was mainly because of the house. Lack of internet wasnât a problem with our phones (Verizon). We were able to connect throughout the house with no problems. Great location on the lake. Itâs very close to the public boat ramp and across the lake from the Wild Duck Marina. Canât wait to stay her again!
Beautiful home with breathtaking views! It was too cold to fish but the dock is a perfect fishing spot! Thank you for letting us stay in your amazing home!
The home and view was great, but it was difficult not having WiFi and limited local channels (no NBC). Otherwise it was the perfect home for our family. Master was separated from the other 2 bedrooms and was a nice open concept kitchen/living arrangement.
No WiFi, maintance needed, Great porch overlooking dock & lake.
We were very disappointed the VBRO ad did not mention there would be no WiFi. None of could use our tablets/computers/kindles or some functions on our phones. Additionally, no TV service without the WiFi. Nice large TV there, but unless. 2 bathrooms, but 1 had a very small shower with poor water pressure. 9 adults were constantly vying for the larger shower. House and beds nice/comfortable Porch rails need maintenance. Several of us got splinters from deck and railing, plus nails in deck are up which injured one of us quite nastily.
Thanks Christine and Jim Bob for a perfect home base on beautiful Lake Brownwood while we were in town for a family wedding. The house was clean and comfortable. We loved the open concept between the kitchen and living and dining. Next time we'll definitely want to experience the lake!
I'm not quite sure why this property has so many 5 stars. It's an OK place, but definitely not 5 star worthy. We came with a family of 11 because the listing says it sleeps 12. This is misleading (see below). I'd say that it should be listed as a property that sleeps 10. My review will focus on the property itself, and not how much we enjoyed ourselves because really we'd have a good time together anywhere we are.
The Good - The location is ideal. It's right on the water and has a wading area for kids to play in. It also has two fridges, which came in handy. We spent a lot of time swimming and fishing from the floating dock. The fire pit is also nice.
The Bad - It was not as clean as a 5 star property should be. It wasn't super dirty, but there were definitely spots that hadn't been cleaned in a while. It is dated and could use some updates in places. There were only 2 trash bags provided for a 3 night stay with up to 12 people. There is no WiFi. In the work-from-home and virtual school era of today, this was a struggle. The grill did not work as there was something wrong with the propane connection. We didn't report it at the time because we discovered it at dinner the night before we were going to be checking out the next morning.
The Awkward - It should not say it sleeps 12. I'd say 10 max. There are 4 beds that sleep 2 people each and one pullout couch that could sleep 1 adult or maybe 2 small kids. There were two blow up mattresses, but only one could be inflated and it could only sleep one normal size person. Even if the second one could be inflated, there was no where to put it.
The two extra bedrooms and the 2nd bathroom are VERY small. Both showers are EXTREMELY TINY. I've taken showers in European bathrooms that had showers larger than these.
Again, 3 star property max. You can still have fun here, but not a 5 star property.
