8062 River Road - Riverfront On The Chute, Best Part Of The Guadalupe River!

Wanted to love this place. The only thing good about it was the river location. - Septic overflowing outside next to grill/patio area. They sent someone to repair it but they only repaired halfway then never returned to cleanup/cover the septic. Feces and toilet paper spilling out everywhere. Smelled awful so we couldn’t enjoy the porch/grill for the entirety of our trip. No reply from host when we followed up- Mold/sediment all over concrete wall from septic. It’s the wall along the stairs to access the river so no way to avoid it. Cracks in the wall and leaking out sewage. It’s obviously been there a while yet they still rent it out. Health hazard- Beds are awful. Mattresses lined with plastic, super hard, squeak so loud with the smallest movement- Bare minimum in amenities. One roll of toilet paper per bathroom. Be prepared to bring all of your own items- Listing was for 8 people but nowhere near enough dining chairs. Had to bring in our coolers to sit on- Only a couple of patio chairs available for a house that’s supposed to host 8 people. Bring your own chairs for everywhere - Deck is a dilapidated hazard- Our reservation was only 5 days after the tragic Kerrville flooding an hour up river. We tried to get the host to reschedule for another date (plenty were available on his calendar) but he had zero empathy and would not accommodate- VRBO requested partial refund on our behalf for septic issues. Host denied- Worst VRBO/host experience by far

She was quick to respond to messages, even stopped by to make sure things were going okay. Great location. The river is amazing, and in the backyard. The house and property could use some maintenance, but they are working on that. For example, brand-new washer/dryer. Dishes, utensils are a bit sparce. Depending on the atmosphere you're after, check the party calendar if you can and don't want a party next door or all around you. I think we were there the week before local Spring Break as it was very quiet around us, but the last night we were there 9 cars showed up next door with loud music past 2:00 AM. Also, depending on what you're after, ask about the or check into the river level. When we were there, the river was maybe 12 deep in most places. Enough to float and use a SUP, but you'll do a lot of lifting your butt to get over rocks.

While the the location of the house was excellent, the home itself was dirty and needed attention and updating. The sheets weren’t changed from the previous group. We found a sanitary pad in the sheets (thankfully unused) and they were stained. There are no window coverings in the bedrooms so it’s extremely bright in the morning. Overall, it was disappointing for the price.

We will rent this house again

Great spot on the river to just sit and watch everyone float by. The kids just ride the chute over and over again so no need to float. 2nd time staying in the house and 3rd time renting from these people. Real easy process, highly recommend.

This is in fact a 3 bedroom house and had plenty of space. It was clean except for the air vents they could use some cleaning. The first night the AC didnt work but they let us stay in another hosue till it was fixed the next night. This is right at the Chute and you can just float right to the house and right outside the house. Great location!

Everything worked out great! We wanted to stay right on the chute for the fun and people watching and this location is perfect! We loved sitting on the deck at night with the cool (ish) breeze coming down the river. Enough space where we weren't bumping into each other all the time. It was just perfect.

The location is great - right on the river. The house has been upgraded but - no linens! No sheets no towels. Very inconvenient! And the house could have been cleaner.

Great property in a great location. The house actually has 3 bedrooms and two baths. The kitchen was well furnished as well.

This property could be great because of the location if it were cleaned and maintained properly. The floors were filthy so we cleaned and then wore socks the entire stay. The outside of the house, the baseboards, lights, fans, windows, and the vents are covered in dirt and spiderwebs. The bathtub is not useable since it appears to be dirty and cannot be cleaned. (Our 4 year old would not step into the tub). Half of the light bulbs are burned out or missing, the can opener was broken, there was only one trash can in the whole house, the road noise is terrible, and one of the dining chairs is broken. The upper decking appears to be unsafe, it is not level, sagging in some areas, and the signs on the railing stating not to sit or lean on the railing are clues that safety is an issue. Some of these items were addressed in earlier reviews but the reply that the issues were addressed and corrected convinced us to book anyway. We now regret that decision and hope these issues are addressed before the next booking.
