Ideal spot

The location is the best we have stayed on the river so far. People do come to the public side of the river but the area is large enough to share.

Great Family River Getaway!

We had a great time and this wonderful property with our two young daughters. Good location on the river, we were there midweek so it was quiet and not too busy at all. The house was a perfect place to stay with everything we needed. We enjoyed it very much and hope to stay again!

Great river house

We had a wonderful stay at the river house. Our only complaint is our second day. It was so windy and chilly. We couldn't enjoy the river. The house was so clean beds were quite comfortable every sheet and blanket and pillow smelled amazing. The little house seemed to have everything we needed from pots pans utensils to books board games, and blankets! I would definitely recommend somebody who's thinking about booking to book.

Wonderful Weekend

Perfect little house at a great location on the river. Spent the day floating in front and relaxing while the teens went to Schlitterbahn. House is clean and well equipped in the kitchen. Firepit was perfect for S'mores.

This place was exactly what my family was looking for. It was well maintained and had everything we needed. It was so beautiful to wake up every morning looking at the river in the back yard. Will return as soon as we can.

Wonderful!!

We had an absolutely wonderful time at Whippoorwill Hill! house was perfect for us and the location was amazing. Our kids had the best time running down the hill and played in the river for hours and hours. 5 minutes for the loop, so fast to get to for a long float around the Guadalupe! Couldn’t ask for a better time, we will definitely be back next summer! Thank you!!

Perfect location for a perfect summer getaway

It's hard to find a house that can accommodate our family well and this one checked all the boxes. Well kept and clean and a fully stocked kitchen which is rare. We made lots of memories at Whippoorwill and we hope to come back again!! We absolutely loved the part of the Guadalupe in the backyard, rapids and shallow water to play in and some deep parts to swim. Best of everything!
