Great House!

Fantastic house right on the river! The house had everything we could ask for; games, tubes, fire pit and grill. Perfectly laid out floor plan for large groups, had plenty of privacy. Would definitely come back!

Wonderful house, Great location!

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the house! We enjoyed the peaceful views of the river, the quiet at night, and the location in the middle of Hill Country! Will gladly rebook the next time we are heading down that way.

3.5 Stars. Get what you pay for. Nice for a River house.

Overall the house is nice. There is a lot that needs to be done to the property in my opinion to be 4 stars or more. But for a River house where most people just need a place to sleep, in checks the boxes.

Rocks River Retreat

House is amazing along with the view and river access! Without going into details, unfortunately, cleanliness was an issue. The Cowboy Hot Tub, corn hole, ping pong…. etc definitely kept the kids busy in between trips.

Great house plan

This house is set up with bed/bath/partial kitchen on each floor. Also if it rains, it has a large outdoor covered area under the house with games, TV, plenty to keep everyone busy! The house management company could not have been nicer. We will definitely rent again.

Quick get away durung Thanksgiving break

The propery was clean and spacious. The river was pretty and enjoyed our coffe overlooking the river in the mornings. Lots of things to do around the area. The one suggestion is to stock the kitchen better. There were no measuring cups, measuring spoons or small pots for cooking rice. Pans for stove were warped and didn't sit on the stove very well but wet made do... All in all very nice stay!!! We would definitely rent her again!!

Beautiful house on the river!

We loved the house and the location so much, we never left during our entire stay. We setup chairs / floats on the river in front of the house. The layout is fun, unique and nice for all parties - you've got master on main level next to everything, bedroom on lower level with it's own bathroom and kitchenette, and another kitchenette, bathroom and two bedrooms on third floor. Plus fun games such as foosball, ping pong, corn hole, etc.. I would 100% return to this location.

Syzdek family vacation 2023

We had the best time & really enjoyed our stay at the Rock’s River Retreat. It was the perfect size for our family of 6 adults & 4 kids. We really enjoyed the views & the cool layout of the house! Drinking coffee each morning on the patio was especially enjoyable! The entire family enjoyed the games under the patio. The ping pong table was a huge hit! It got a lot of play time from the entire family. The location of this house was perfect! We were just a short drive from all the activities we did on our stay. We enjoyed floating the final river, spending a day at schlitterbaun water park & we spent a day tubing on a pontoon boat that we rented on canyon lake. This was such a memorable family vacation! So glad we found the River rock retreat!

Great Property

We had a great stay and loved the 3 separate levels with 3 separate bathrooms/kitchenettes on each level. My kids highly enjoyed swimming in the river and we were about 15-20 minutes to all swim holes in Wimberly. The property was quick to respond with a minor issue and got it fixed quickly. I did wish there were fans outside as it was hot during our stay. Overall great family friendly home.

Great location. Quiet. Great river frontage.

Nothing better than having a cup of coffee on the back porch and watching the day come to life. The deer, the ducks, the fish jumping, and the gentle breeze. So close to NB, yet so far away. The house layout took some getting used to, but it works. Great showers. We will return with pleasure. Oh, it was a rainy weekend, and plenty of room to spread out and even a covered area outside.

Perfect Hill Country Weekend

The house location is fantastic given we were going to see a concert at Whitewater Amphitheater and to hang out on the river. The kitchen was well stocked and we bought steaks form a local farm to grill. Would 10/10 stay here again for a lake/river fun weekend.

This place is a keeper for repeat visits!

This place is fantastic! We had the best most relaxing time! It’s far enough from everything, but close enough to what you need. The yard and view are amazing and the pics don’t do it justice. We had a few hiccups with appliances not working but stayed in contact with the property manager about it and all was well. We plan to stay here again!
