Stayed Mar 2, 2025The property was top tier! Everything is there and extremely clean! Sarah was top notch! We lost power while we were there due to a storm and Sarah checked in on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed! We will definitely stay here again and I hope sooner rather than later!

Stayed Nov 5, 2024House was immaculate and well appointed. We were greeted with some yummy breakfast pastries on the counter. Cute hideaway a few minutes walk from the river. It was nice base camp for our tour of the Big Bend area. Highly recommend.

Stayed Jul 11, 2024Our stay at Manatee Cottage was amazing! The cottage was clean, cozy, and comfortable! We LOVED that there was a canoe available for our family to use on the river. The river was a very short walk from the cabin. Everything was even better than the pictures. We hope to be back again! Thank you for a great vacation!
