Loved the scenery. Assistance was very quick with any questions. The only inconvenience were that the washer and garbage disposal smelled very very bad from the day we arrived but I bought a washer cleaner tablet from HEB to take care of that. Water was not working at all from when we checked in at 6pm until almost midnight when they sent over a kind maintenence man to check all the panels and well pumps. We both had to check multiple panels and lines at night to address the issue which was annoying since none of us could bathe, use the restroom or use the sink for almost 6 hours. It was finally fixed and glad we had hot water as soon as the pumps started working, could use a solid cleaning because the amount if pet hair on the window sills, under the bed and on and in-between the couches but overall it was a beautiful property with great peaceful scenery.
Loved how family friendly this property is. I especially loved that there are gates to keep the kids away from the water if you are busy grilling or have to make a quick trip up the stairs to the house. The concrete platform at the very bottom is awesome to take your lawn chair and fish. LOTS OF FISH! The house can use a little TLC but for our short stay it was perfect. Had everything we needed to cook all our meals. The AC is WONDERFUL! The cable isn’t the best, only cartoon network was available for the kids but we had our kids outside most of the time so they didn’t really care to watch tv. I do suggest if you have littles to pack them a life vest. The dam opens in the evening and the water runs at a pretty high speed. We enjoyed our stay so much we are already planning our next trip to this house. The outside of the property is what we fell in love with! So much room for activities lol. Lastly, communication with the property manager is excellent! We had a minor hiccup on arrival but it was fixed fairly quickly. We also needed more propane to grill out and they brought it to us right away. They were really good at checking in on us to make sure we weren’t in need of anything else. If you want to relax, fish and cook out then book this house!
The location on the Colorado River was nice because it was quiet with little or no boat and jet ski traffic due to the rocks in the river. The patio on the River was nice to sit at.
River behind the house runs from 4pm to 10pm. The dam is opened and the water is moving at a rate that you can't swim in. Also there is no wifi. The water in the house has a bad smell to it.
This place is wonderful. Great place to stay, fish and hang out on the lake. We will definitely stay here again
We had our all 4 boys and 2 dogs up on the river over the Father day weekend. The river is clam from about 4pm - 7am (the dam is closed over night) otherwise it is running about 4 mph. you can not swim in it at that speed. Great other wise. The home is small and has funny tasting water. Bring your own water. The beds are comfy. The washer is a front load and is smelly. great location, great river, bring your own water.
The lake view is amazing!!! We had a blast on the Kayaks and my big fur baby felt right at home and we didn’t have to worry about him getting loose in the amazing fenced in yard. We will definitely be back!
Everything we needed was at the river house. We appreciate how clean it was and felt great putting two babies on the floor immediately. The waterfront decks are wonderful. Great relaxing family vacay. Only downside, we had to pack up and come home.
Thank you so much for the opportunity to stay at your lake home for the Christmas Holiday. We thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet. Just what we needed to get away from the busy city life. We spent most of our time relaxing on the incredible patio and just taking in the view and the sight and sounds of the ducks and geese flying in. It was early to rise to watch the sun come up and drink our coffee on the patio. Our evenings were spent on the patio watching the sun set. Gorgeous. Our dog had a blast being able to run around freely in the fenced yard. Again, thank you.
Quick family get away with our fur baby as well. Really appreciated the fenced in yard, quiet location and wonderful views. Would definitely stay here again.
