Our son needed eye surgery in Tyler and living 1.5 hrs away we sought out a place that was pretty close to the hospital for our early arrival. We travel very frequently, always staying in a STR (at least 6 times a year) and this was the first time we have had a host that went above and beyond . Ray was always available no matter what time it was. We were even surprised with fresh blueberry muffins, coffee, creamer, milk, cold bottle water and my sons favorite drink and snacks. The home was easy to find and the landscaping was beautiful. Everything is so clean inside and outside. I forgot my toothpaste and toothbrush and they had extras there. We enjoyed watching the longhorns, donkeys, and rabbits from the front and back porch. All the little special touches around the home from the table that Ray made, the scrapbook with the history of the home, places to eat nearby, and letters from previous guests, to labeling things with cute tags make your stay relaxing. Ray even checked on our son the day of surgery which was so very thoughtful of him. We will absolutely stay here again!!
