The house was absolutely perfect for our West Texas Spring Break! Our family of 5 had a wonderful time watching movies in the cozy living room and playing games at the kitchen table each evening. Our last night we even opted to cancel our last dinner reservation at the Gage so we could just stay in and hang out. Noah was extremely responsive and provided an unbelievably well appointed home. Would absolutely go back and/or seek Noah’s other properties.
