Welcome to our comfortable home just 2 miles from historic downtown Salado. Our home was built in 1980 and sits on almost 2 acres of beautiful land. Our home is a 3 bedroom 2 bath. It's a rare find right on Royal St. All the comforts of home with lots of extra's! A back yard oasis is calling for you after a long day of shopping, wineries, or hanging out at the micro-brewery. Spend the hot summer days by the pool or the cool fall evenings by the firepit. The outdoor firepit and outdoor lighting make for a great evening by the pool or in the hot tub (temp of hot tub is kept low in the summer). Pool is NOT heated. Outdoor grilling is a must on the Big Green Egg. If you are not comfortable with the Green Egg (It's an art) then we have added a propane grill! We now have a fully remodel kitchen with stainless steel appliances, double ovens and a walk in butler's pantry that features a stocked 48 bottle wine cooler with some of our favorite wines to enjoy. The antique island and the reclaimed brick back splash give it that ranch style touch. Master bath and guest bath have been updated from top to bottom. We have chickens on the property that will be happy to give you beautiful farm fresh eggs for your morning breakfast. An attendant will be checking on the chickens and collecting eggs for extended stays. Chickens can be a fragile bird, unfortunate things can happen and we understand this. We bulk feed/ water them before every guest arrives so please do not be alarmed if something happens to them. Be sure and try our honey from our personal apiary. We take pride in offering guest to bring their pets. We love our fur babies and enjoy taking them places so we feel others would enjoy this as well. If you are bringing a pet, please add the pet fee to your reservation. We take extra precautions when cleaning/spraying chemicals/ protecting the furniture when pets are coming. If you bring a pet without included the pet on the reservation, unfortunately you will loose the full protection deposit. The living room has a comfortable couch, a flat screen TV and is open to dining room with a large farmhouse table. All the bedrooms have queen size beds. All bedrooms have flat screen TV's with access to Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ and Amazon prime. Master bath boasts a beautiful walk in shower, large vanity area to prepare for an evening at Rio Salado for dinner. Be sure and asked to be taken care of by Alex at the bar! Guest bath has shower/whirlpool tub combo and a large vanity. We have a detailed guest book highlighting all the local attractions and restaurants. Try Longbow Roasters for craft coffee ( see card in book). Rio Salado! This new Mexican restaurant is worth the wait!! Alex ( the bartender) is one of my favorite people on earth!! He makes the margaritas with love! Check out the Farmers market Saturday mornings(9am-1pm) March thru October at Barrow Brewing Company. KD Hill is the owner of Barrow Brewing Company and always has a welcoming smile. Evenings at Barrow, enjoying the local band and eating Happy Pizza Company is so relaxing! Definitely visit Axis Winery in downtown Salado! Drake is the lovable, playful lab that greets everyone with a wet nose. We hope you have a great stay at this peaceful property.
