Your group will love the covered outdoor space with a flat-screen TV, hot tub, and gas grill. Play a game of volleyball on the sand court, then gather around the fire pit under a big, starry Texas sky. Inside, an updated kitchen and open, single-level layout make this home a great pick for your group of up to 10!
Inside, your well-stocked rental is ready for family feasts, movie nights, appetizers, and wine at the kitchen bar… and, of course, a good night’s sleep for everyone.
LIVING SPACES -
Is your group split between those who like to be outside and those who prefer the comfort of the indoors? Not a problem at Hackberry Retreat! Head outside to watch the game on the flat-screen TV… or cozy up on the sectional sofa inside. Let the kids run off their excess energy in the fenced grassy yard and on the sand volleyball court. Parents, you can keep an eye on them while you soak in the hot tub!
KITCHEN and DINING -
The kitchen will quickly become a popular hangout spot for your group (second only to the spectacular outdoor area!). Pull up a barstool to the sprawling center island and chat with the chefs while they work… or plan the day’s Hill Country adventures over your morning coffee. Fully equipped and stocked for cooking, the kitchen features stainless appliances—including a double-sided fridge, gas stove, and dishwasher—and lots of elbow room and counter space for prepping and chopping. Dig into dinner around the center island for 8 and the adjacent dining table for 4. Or take your meal outdoors to the covered patio, which has seating for at least 10 under the roof cover and string lights. Fire up the gas grill on the patio (also under the roof cover!) for burgers and seared veggies, and bring your s’mores ingredients to the fire pit for dessert.
