Perfect spot for anyone looking to spend time on the river. Really helpful host and a great experience.
This house was perfect for our group of guys. Not fancy but the location and big yard along the river were perfect.
Lots of space in the home, and access to river is ideal! It’s what your looking for
After spending days of our lives floating past this home, it was a dream come true to stay here. The house and property were beautiful and it was the perfect place to stay for a large group. The host was very accommodating and friendly. I can’t wait to come back here again.
We loved the house and property! Jennifer was an excellent communicator and provided lots of details when I asked questions before our stay. It was great to be right on the river - the house and yard were the perfect place for our family to gather. The house has a lot of character and the property is gorgeous - we would lover to go back - thank you Jennifer!
We had an amazing time!! The house is a little dated, but the yard and river access made up for that!!!
This house is great for family and friend reunions. We rented in the winter for a fishing tournament on the river and all said we are going to try and come back in the summer when you could really experience the property more. Great for kids too
Enjoyed our stay for a friend reunion. Will probably rent again.
This property was so amazing! Perfect for groups and has a very relaxed family style feel. Jennifer met me at the property and showed me how to work everything and was so nice! She gave us suggestions where to eat and was super helpful! Her communication was amazing, and she helped me navigate the logistics before we even met. Each room has a wall AC that totally cranks and can keep up with the hot weather. The yard is massive! We brought a disc golf with us, enjoyed the outdoor area down by the water and brought food down to enjoy the river. The San Marcos “natural” rock slides are about a 20 min float down. HEB is close by and the kitchen had all the gadgets you would need to make this place your home for the weekend. If you are looking for a fancy modern place, this isn’t it. But if you are looking for a great property to make magical memories with your group, this is the one!!
We love this place! This was our second summer here and you just can’t beat the location. It’s right on the river, the backyard is beautiful, and so spacious. The house provides lots of room for our group of 10-12 friends that come together for a weekend getaway every summer. It’s our little paradise and we love it!!
For the past 5 years we have rented this house and we love it. It's very relaxing and convenient. The owner is wonderful. We will rent every year, as long as it's available.
The owners were very helpful and always prompt on answering my questions. The location is amazing and perfect for all ages. The house was very roomy and had plenty of beds for us all. We will be back next year.
This old house had a magical feel to it. It felt like home. It felt like the lake house we once owned. It brought out the child and wonder in us as we played in the river and attempted to swing from the rope swing. It was beautiful and comfortable. Thank you!
Exceeded our expectations on just how awesome it is to have a river you can walk to as you please. House is historic and has very interesting layouts through out. Great stay. Looking forward to renting again in future.
