About the host
Hosted by Tina Willis
Hello! We are the Willis Family, David, Tina, Vada, and Devere. We absolutely love Montell, Texas, and the surrounding area. We spend a lot of time on the Nueces River, swimming and Kayaking.
Why they chose this property
Since it is situated on the bank of the crystal clear Nueces River with a backdrop of Texas hills, the sunrises are outstanding, while stargazing is amazing!
What makes this property unique
This property is in a rural area in Uvalde County and it sits on the banks of the beautiful Nueces River. This is a quiet area, with a lot of wildlife and few vacationers, so it is the perfect getaway from it all! The lovely view of the river with the hills in the background is a wonderful sight for morning sunrises with a hot cup of coffee.
