Amazing location!

This place was perfect for our family of 6. The house is larger than we expected. It was so quiet and peaceful. The house had everything we needed and more including the kayak, canoe, and floaties. We cannot wait to come back!

Wonderful family river trip

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay on this beautiful property hidden off the beaten path of the Guadalupe River. We loved the location on the river and the kiddos enjoyed the canoe, kayak and paddle board that was included. property owners were very responsive and easy to deal with....We plan to come back next year and years to come!!!

Nice property

We have traveled to Canyon Lake for three summers and we were sad to see the water level drop so much. It seemed like the Guadalupe River is a bit murky this year. The house was just as it was described. Quiet location with lots of deer running around. The water was so cold!!

Beautiful Property

The photos don’t do the river view justice. The backyard/river is absolutely gorgeous. My husband and our 2 kids (10 & 12) rented it for a lazy riverside week and we all had a great time. The kids paddle boarded, we all canoed, and we rented a pontoon boat on the lake. The backyard was full of wildlife and the kids loved the fireflies that lit up at night. Definitely worth it!

Perfect River Stay

We stayed here twice this summer. It's perfect! What you see in the pictures is what you get! The house is clean, comfortable, well stocked and spacious. River access is very easy and clean!! If you've tried finding places directly on the water, you know it can be a challenge getting down there sometimes. This is a steady, manageable slope, with a nice dock over the water. This part of the river is very quiet and beautiful with very little float traffic. The neighborhood is nicely kept and the few neighbors we saw were very friendly. The host is quick to respond and easy to communicate with. 5 minutes from the horseshoe tubing places and Whitewater Ampitheater. Maybe a 15 minute drive to Gruene. This will definitely be our go to place in the future.

Great Stay

This is a great property on a really nice part of the river. I stayed there with my wife our 2 adolescent boys and our 165 lb Brazilian Mastiff(Fila Brasilero) Max. We had a great time. The river just behind the home is deep and calm making it perfect to just jump in and swim. Five minutes away are places where guests can rent tubes or rafts and be picked up down river. The way the house is built on the slope down to the river gives one the feeling of being in the tree tops while relaxing on the rear deck. In the mornings and evenings deer calmly stroll around and birds of all types fly by in the tree tops. The kitchen is well stocked with all sorts of appliances to cook pretty much anything you want. The beds are very nice and comfortable. There is an HEB and a Walmart 20 minutes away. It's a really great place to spend time with your family. The only thing that I would have changed is I should have reserved it earlier in the year so I could have rented it for more time. We will absolutely be returning next summer for a week or more.

Pretty location on the river. Too cold to utilize all the river toys but looked like it would be fun during the summer. House was sufficient for our needs, new appliances and HVAC that worked well. Kitchen was well stocked. Needs some light maintenance and a thorough cleaning, though.

Nice quiet place on the Guadalupe River

We stayed for a weekend of fun and a Turnpike Troubadours concert at Whitewater Amphitheater (not quite walking distance, but very close). This listing was nice and dog friendly. We made hamburgers on the gas grill. Check out the nearby pizza restaurant, which was excellent. The riverfront is very pretty. Thanks for a great weekend.

Donny

The house and location are amazing and we would definitely rent this place again. The extras like a garage and boats and floats really made this place a no brainer. The river had almost zero current due to the Exceptional Drought they have been experiencing in the area. However I enjoyed not having to be picked up or dropped off up or down stream. We actually just floated out in front of the home and soaked up the sun for hours and then right on to the deck that’s in the water and sat there for even longer under the beautiful trees. Amazingly enough, due to its close proximity below the dam, the water was plenty deep to swim in. I was quite surprised by the water depth here. Our only regret was that we didn’t have longer to stay there. You really need at least 4-5 days minimum to unwind especially if you are coming in from a long ways away as we did. We would definitely rent this place again. The house is laid out nicely and just about everything you need to make yourself at home is there for you to cook etc. We’ve already made plans to go back next year and to be honest anytime of the year would work as a vacation spot here. Deer are everywhere in the neighborhood and that also was special to all in the group!

Property is nice, sleeps 8 comfortably and a few things had issues but they should correct them all soon. Just needs to be maintained more often. Refrigerator needs replaced or fixed, spent a day without ac and ceiling fan didn’t work in one of the bedrooms. Light is out in of the bathrooms as well. They should compensate us since we had to be without ac for a day
