Amazing location on the river!

We had an amazing vacation with the family. Group of 13 including lots of little kids and everyone had a blast. Location of the home is unbeatable, river access was perfect. The outdoor setting was perfect. Very comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, and the communication with host was great. Highly recommend!

Awesome location and amenities.

It was amazing. We are a large family and every year my three sisters and I take a three day river trip with our daughters. We are 35 years old to 71 and like fun but comfort at the same time. This had it all, excellent access, well stocked, clean and easy to arrange.

Great property, location is excellent, but it's time to invest in new bedding/mattresses. At this price point, a comfortable bed should be provided. Also, kitchen pots/pans ned a big upgrade.Otherwise, a great experience

Great river house

The outside areas are great-seating right next to the river. Lots of bedrooms and plenty of space for a family. The extra refrigerator isn’t he laundry room was the best surprise. Lots of room for drinks! We had a great time and would love to come back to this house.

Great house on the comal river

Great house on the comal river! During the weekends, this is a popular place for people to stop and hang out, so a few times we had to shoot people off if we wanted to get into the water, but it was easy Peezy and no one was upset, Only downfall for this house is that there are only two bathrooms, and one bedroom is kind of separate from the rest of the house but loved everything else!

Construction mess next door

Rating would be 5 stars except for the construction work going on all around starting from 7 am til 7 pm and spiders in the room outside the main haus. We had a pleasant stay convenient for floating on the Comal river
