Willies House+Hot Tub+Party Barn

Summary:

Welcome to Olive Street Ranch-Willie's House! This retreat is the perfect place for those who want a hill country setting but also want to be close to town. Olive Street Ranch is tucked away on two acres a half-mile from lively Main street and will comfortably sleep up to eight guests.



The Space:

A mix of modern and rustic touches flows throughout the home, and you will feel right at home as you walk through the door. The living room offers a cozy place to gather with friends or family and plenty of sitting room for everyone with three comfortable and stylish sofas, two of which are sleeper sofas. Tucked away in the corner is an old-time record player with LPs for you to enjoy, a large flat-screen TV hangs on the rock wall above the faux fireplace, and there is an ode to Willie Nelson that adorns the wall.



Crisp white cabinets and countertops complement the kitchen's farmhouse sink and stainless steel appliances. The rustic farmhouse-style dining table is expandable and has seating for eight guests or pull up a barstool to the kitchen bar.

Each bedroom is set up to provide a restful night's sleep; all three have comfortable king-size beds and window shades to block out the morning light if you plan on sleeping in a bit.

Olive Street Ranch is a peaceful and serene getaway where you can see wildlife scampering in the fields while rocking on the front porch as the sun rises, and you can spend your evenings socializing in the shared party barn on the property. The shared party barn and adjoining outdoor space feature picnic tables, a gas grill, seating around the fire pit, giant Jenga, cornhole, a ping pong table and washers.



*Please note the outdoor party barn is a shared space with the other two houses on the property.



Willie's house is the ideal place to call home during your stay! There are also two other guest houses on the property, Waylon's house, which is a 2 bedroom/2 bath and will sleep up to eight, and Dolly's house, a 2 bedroom/2 bath sleeping up to six. Rent the entire property to accommodate a group of 20. Perfect for a family reunion, ladies' weekend away, or just a group of friends!



Guest Access:

✅ This property has special local compliance requirements which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and a security hold of $1000 (which is not a traditional security deposit, just a pending transaction). As an optional alternative to the security hold, you may opt in to purchase a non-refundable damage waiver provided by a third-party insurance company. The optional damage waiver is $59.99 for stays up to 10 nights, with an additional $1.5 per day for stays longer than 10 nights. Damage waiver purchases are optional.



To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it’s a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots.
