My husband and I arrived feeling weary, but we left feeling refreshed and reconnected, thanks to all the thoughtful details we enjoyed at Andrea and Mike’s casita. The back porch was our oasis where we relaxed with coffee (an assortment of Keurig kcups, sugar, and organic half and half were provided by Andrea) every morning. As we discussed our plans for the day, we were visited by deer, hummingbirds, cardinals, blue jays, and rabbits. Then we went inside and cooked breakfast together (eggs, bacon, English muffins, fruit, and OJ - all purchased at the HEB that is a 10 minute drive from the house) in the fully-stocked kitchen; we had all the pots/pans, utensils, dishes, and glassware we needed. We spent some time exploring local breweries and restaurants (I highly recommend Jester King, Treaty Oak Distilling, Abby Jane Bakeshop, and Fitzhugh Brewing). We also took a ~45 minute drive down to San Marcos one day to float the river and enjoy some delicious BBQ at Black’s afterwards. We soaked in the (sparkling clean) hot tub every night and got some of the best sleep of our lives in the comfortable king-sized bed. And did I mention that Andrea left us a thoughtful note and a bottle of bubbles to celebrate our 10-year wedding anniversary?! She’s honestly the absolute best host we could have hoped for on our Texas hill country getaway. We can’t wait to go back for a visit. Thank you, Andrea and Mike, for your amazing hospitality!
