Relaxing on the River

We were in town for a family Thanksgiving at our son and his wife’s home. The house in a great location along the river and close proximity to all the amenities of Georgetown. The house is super comfortable and clean and it felt like home away from home. We were even able to cook items for the thanksgiving dinner. We would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend.

Just plain remarkable!

This home is a dream come true! I thought the pool feature would be the top highlight, but it was simply a plus in an amazing residence. The home is updated with designer touches. The beds were so comfortable. Everything was immaculate and handy. A perfect location near everything. The host was easily accessible. And to top all this off, we enjoyed the company of deer all day long! There just wasn’t a downside in anything. Highly recommend.

Idyllic Retreat

Elegance and comfort combine with a whimsical backyard overlooking the San Gabriel river to create an idyllic retreat. Although only a short drive from downtown Georgetown, interstate access, and shopping, this location feels removed from the stresses of life. Our family was able to listen to birds, watch deer every night, and even spy a gray fox one evening while enjoying the relaxing outside areas. Less than a mile walk away is Chandler park if you want to visit the river more closely. Modern conveniences were available: fast internet, access to TV, and connection to streaming services (via your personal login). Our check in process was seamless. Amy, the host, was a delight to work with, communicating everything clearly and in a timely fashion. The three rooms are comfortable as are the common areas. Everything was spotlessly clean! I whole heartedly recommend this rental for a small family gathering!

Quiet peaceful relaxing vacay

The property was decorated beautifully inside and out. We loved the various plants surrounding the pool. The wild life was amazing, a herd of deer roamed the neighborhood freely. It was so unexpected but breath taking to be able to sit on the front porch and watch baby deer relaxing on the grassy lawn under the shade of the trees. It was an extremely nice way to start your day off, drinking coffee and watching a mom and her babies lounging peacefully. The pool was a nice way to cool off during the hot summer day. The host provided floats and pool towels, so no need to pack those. The back patio had plenty of trees and shaded areas like a wrap around deck and a couple of patio umbrellas, one of which was hanging over the pool! The view below of the river was beautiful. The host provided all the necessities for cooking, bathing and swimming. The beds were comfy and there were extra pillows provided. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Amazing & Relaxing Vacation stay

We recently stayed at this wonderful home overlooking the San Gabriel River ( My husband, my Mom and my Senior dog). The home is set up nicely for anyone that wants to cook or eat in. We had groceries delivered by HEB an hour after we arrived which was great. The location is convenient to the beautiful park, restaurants and a short drive to downtown Georgetown. The home was nicely decorated, clean and had everything we needed to cook. I would suggest to bring measuring spoons and a coffee scoop if you plan to drink coffee. We loved the convenience of having a washer and dryer to use as well. The backyard and pool are what make this rental AMAZING- great view of the river, very calming, comfortabl patior furniture and a nice breeze in the evening. The breeze was so nice as it kept the bugs and mosquitos away due to the elevation of the property on top of the hill. Deer galore which were very comfortable around people. So cute to watch. All the rooms were nicely sized and super clean. The beds were pretty comfortable. The only one I had an issue with was the one that had access to the backyard. The mattress was "squeaky like rubber" and thin. I couldn't get comfortable on that mattress so I tried another room. Otherwise, the other two mattresses were comfortable. Amy, the Host was very accommodating and quick to answer questions. I definitely recommend this vacation home.

What a beautiful home!! We flew in from all over to celebrate our Mothers 80th birthday and we loved it!! Super clean and the host was absolutely amazing! She responded to all my questions quickly and offered local recommendations even a month prior to our stay. The property exceeded our expectations and would highly recommend if you are in the Austin area. Thanks Amy!

We really enjoyed our stay at this home! It had the most incredible sunrise and sunset views. It's nestled away in such a quiet and safe neighborhood. The house had all the amenities needed for a cozy stay. The instructions on the house made it easy for wifi login and check-out steps easy. There were some great food options nearby, and it wasn't too far from Austin proper. The host provided great communications for check-in and fast approval on our pet allowance. 5-star stay!

This special home feels like you are in the Texas Hill Country, viewing the San Gabriel River, that is always full of water. Yet, it is just a short drive to downtown Georgetown, TX where there is so much to do! Restaurants, shopping, trails, entertainment and more to name a few. We hope to share our home, with other people who want to enjoy the beautiful outdoors with year round waterfront and active wildlife that Georgetown has to offer. What we love about this property the most is it's uniqueness! You will see deer, rock squirrels, turtles and so much more sitting on the back porch. The views are phenomenal! There is not another home like this that we have found in Georgetown. Truly a one of a kind gem. If you are outdoor people who love nature, but also love being close to everything the Georgetown Square has to offer, this home is for you! We are native Texans and hope to share our Texas home with you.
