Nirvana Retreat Gated with Pool and Gazebo

We had a wonderful time at our annual cousins camp staying at this property. The air conditioning was wonderful, and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had just the right kinds of essential equipment as we like to cook our own meals. The pool was a nice relief from the early summer heat. We did inform the property owner that their housekeeping service, in between guests, needed to do a more thorough job of detailed cleaning. This is a country side home, yet close to Sherman to enjoy dining out.

We had a good time while staying here. The pool was nice. The cows were entertaining. We were disappointed when the grill and flat top were not operational since we had planned on grilling and purchased the food to do that. All the bath towels were not put out and finally found them in the dryer. It would have been nice to have this done upon arrival but this did not deter us from enjoying our stay.

If you are seeking a country residence surrounded by cows, snakeskins, and spiders, this property may suit your preferences.However, it is important to note that maintenance is severely lacking. The living room carpet is dirty, the lawn was overgrown, and the owner was not kind enough to return the large trash cans to the house, requiring us to walk the trash down the lengthy driveway to the curb.The pantry was unusable due to evident mouse droppings. The home is outdated, with dangerously slick bathtubs and no bath mats provided. The shower curtain was molded and requires replacement. Additionally, the plumbing needs attention, as we had to purchase a plunger ourselves.Some bedroom linens were not clean, but fortunately, we brought extra linens. The backyard was infested with wasps and nests, though we brought spray to manage the situation. Birds in the backyard leave droppings on the patio furniture. Patio furniture is old, wood rotted and dangerous. Owner filed claim against my travel insurance to get new furniture to replace the already old & severely damaged chair & bench. My brother fell to ground while sitting on bench.On a positive note, the pool was enjoyable for the children. The Blackstone grill, smart TV, Bluetooth speaker, and dryer were convenient and useful. There were also some dishes available for cooking and grilling. Stay at your own risk!

We had a very nice stay overall. Very beautiful, well built home. We felt very safe here. One thing to note is that this home is out in the middle of nowhere. Be prepared to see cattle in your backyard :)) That said, here's the things to watch out for. The water heater is not large enough so it only held enough hot water for 2 showers and then will take another hour or so to heat back up. The bed in 2nd main bedroom broke the first time my son sat down on it. He's probably 155lbs. Also, the interior doorknob to the master bedroom is broken, it cant be latched or locked. The home needs some upkeep.

No propane for BBQ. Had to buy propane. Then grill caught on fire because was not cleaned properly. Great location, decent place. Also no large knives we could find for cooking.
