"We enjoyed our stay at the holiday in. We went for a Texas Tenor concert on 17 sep. We spent 2 nights there. Hotel was nice and clean. The beds were comfortable. The only issue we had was the maid had left the window open and we didnt see it for a while. A few mosquitos got in. Suggest they use screens if they are going to open windows. We didnt eat there or use the pool. The pool looked wonderful tho. Employees at the desk were very nice and helpful. We would stay again."

"Sarah's home was wonderful for our stay. It was a lovely home tucked up in the trees that allowed for bird watching, no noisy neighbors, and a calm and peaceful trip. I loved the fact that it is a "lived in home" that didn't have the sterile typical vacation home feel. She is very inviting of using what is there and fully enjoying her home. Thank you Sarah!"
