The house was wonderful with a fabulous location and the river park was great!

Thanks so much, we're so happy you got to enjoy the river. The park is coming back nicely, if slowly, after the flood last year and again this year too. We still need some tables and chairs but the neighborhood is working on it. So glad you thought to ask about bringing lawn chairs!
This is a wonderful cabin - great location near Criders and camps and has river access. It is very clean and the beds are extremely comfortable. Our trip was cut shorter than planned due to the recent rains and flooding but the communication with the host was excellent and everything worked out well.
The property and the accommodations were beautiful and just perfect for our family! The house was fun, clean, well stocked and extremely well maintained. The outdoor living space was absolutely gorgeous and the perfect place for morning coffee snd evening cocktails while the kids played in the spacious yard! On our visit, unfortunately, the river was closed for maintenance so we couldn’t enjoy any of the water features (kayaking or swimming) but we were able to do some exploring nonetheless…We are already planning to make this an annual trip! The hosts were so very nice and welcoming and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We are already looking at next years calendar!
We stayed here before picking up kids from camp and it was super convenient and perfect. Very clean and comfortable. Loved being able to walk down to the river and spend the day floating. Michelle was super easy to get in touch with and we loved our stay!
We've stayed here for years, to pick our kids up from camp. Owner/Michelle is always great. House has been renovated & is superb. Easy access to river park. Water is great & take kayaks to the flats & explore. Super fun every year...!
Lots of seating outside to enjoy the beautiful nature. Clean inside and lots of sleeping accommodations. Water filter in kitchen a very nice touch! Compared to how many people can sleep there the kitchen table is very small.

We're glad you enjoyed your stay. The dining room table and seating at the bar are definitely tight if we've got a full house (it seats eight, but like I said, it's tight). There is plenty of outdoor seating at the picnic table when there is a crowd, but we'll look into getting a round table for the dining room... that might help a little. Thanks for staying with us and for leaving a review!
It’s pretty hard to find a dog friendly rental. Especially one that has more than you can ask for. Easy check in and out. Great communication with property owner. Rooms were clean and ready for us.

We're so glad you and your family enjoyed your stay - including the four legged members! We travel with our dog too, and completely understand how difficult it can be.
We picked up our kids from camp & we love staying at the river house!! Big plus is it is pet friendly & we have a chocolate lab...
The house is quiet & in a perfect location. Short wal down the rock stairway and you are chilling in the river!!
Dogs & kids love swimming fishing and going up river to explore the flats...

Thanks so much Jim! I know being close to the kids' camps helped you choose us to begin with, but we love knowing our little piece of Hunt & the Guadalupe is special enough for you to come back year after year.

We loved IT
Excellent location and plenty of room. Our family of 4 shared the house with another family of 4. Fun stuff to do, relaxing, andloved the porch! We all went to the beach last year and it was unanimous that we would come back here next year.

We're so glad you had a great stay. We hope to see you next year too!
Great kitchen appliances, plenty of bedrooms and baths and comfortable living area; enjoyed the outside space/deck as well. Good A/C. Would have enjoyed using the jetted tub in master, but the tub faucet did not allow filling in a timely manner.
This property was a great escape from the city life. I wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the serene setting. We enjoyed the short walk to the river, the hammock, and the front porch swing. We took our own food so we didn't have to leave the property and could enjoy all it had to offer. The kitchen was very well stocked with all the pots and utensils we needed. We plan to return!
House was fantastic! It was well stocked with appliances and utensils and everything was high end including bedding. We loved it! Decks and outside seating were extremely comfortable. The main living area was on first floor. Master and 2 other bedrooms were only 5 steps up from the main floor and the 4th bedroom was up from there, but it had a private deck. Highly recommend!
beautiful house, it was a steep down hill walk to the water but once you get everything down there its a beautiful quiet area. The towels where still wet in the dryer, and the coffee maker still had coffee and filter from the people before. Might need ro put no trespassing signs on the entryway we had several people come threw the property trying ro get down the water. All together it was a nice stay.

Our guests often see our neighbors using the path in front of our house to access the river park or road below us. It is a dedicated public trail and they have every right to use it. It is mentioned in the house info document in two places, but lots of guests don't read that far.
We're glad you enjoyed your stay and sorry about the missed housekeeping items. I let a same day change over slip through, which we normally do not allow so that the housekeeper has all the time she needs. Thank you for messaging me about the towels and getting them dried and put away. That was helpful and much appreciated.
Not close to the river, must cross dangerous road to enter river which can be treacherous for older individuals. Accommodations were decent, WiFi was terrible. No phone service. Poor communication.

This guest received the same detailed thorough information all of our four and five star reviewers received. We do hope that guests carefully review the listing information for our location. We are nearly two hours from New Baunfels and the areas where there are tube outfitters on the Guadalupe. Several people book every year not realizing this is the headwaters of the Guadalupe and much quieter and more serene, and we offer them free cancellation as soon as we figure it out, as we did with this guest.
Guests should also carefully read the information in our rental agreement which guests review prior to booking, and sign shortly after making the reservation. We describe the trail as a "goat trail" and state that "guests with balance or mobility issues should drive around to the park" in that document. We also provide detailed information in our welcome email and house info pfd so that guests have what they need at their fingertips, but I am available by cell phone 24/7 so that I can respond to emergencies.
Cell service in the area is indeed spotty and also described in our communication. We have installed a Verizon cell booster but cannot provide boosters for guests that use other services. A broadband fiber internet connection was installed in May of 2021 and the wifi password and door code are in the house instruction document, at the top of the very first page. In the future, I'll be requesting a confirmation from guests that they have received their welcome info prior to arriving at the house.
