Great cabin and great location!

We make this trip every year, and this location on the river is by far our favorite spot. This cabin is perfect for soaking up all the beauty and fun the Guadalupe has to offer, and the rental experience was top notch. We will definitely be returning again next year. Thank you for having us!

Family river trip

Loved this house with the easy access to the river where you could put your chairs in the water. With children this was a big selling point for us.

Good Location and setup for families

We enjoyed the house and being right on the river. Outdoor kitchen was great and even had a tv. Wish there were more skillets and knives, but otherwise stocked. One bedroom and bath are on the first floor and the master has an ensuite bath. The other 2 bedrooms which have the most beds share one bath. Good setup for 2 families.

Great spot, just needs a bit more TLC

Villa 1 is the best spot in the complex. Beautiful view. Loved the patios and nice sized beds for all. Woulda given a 5 star, but the wasp nests were a bit problematic and the cleaning crew missed stuff (food left to rot in the downstairs oven, spiderwebs clinging everwhere, small trash items under all the furniture). I booked for next year. If ya clean up a bit better and blast the wasps nests before our stay, I would happily upgrade to 5 stars.

Right on the river!

The house was beautiful, location especially, no obstructions from the river view. The downstairs kitchen was the cherry on top and gave us plenty of room to hang out after a long day on the river. The cleanliness was much better than expected since reading past reviews, however both refrigerators/freezers needed to be wiped down. There were some drops of something in both the up and downstairs fridge/freezer. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook three meals a day, even measuring cups, which was awesome. The management team was very responsive and just a short text away with lightning fast response times, almost immediate. Even before our arrival, I had some questions about what we would have on site and they were very helpful and kind. Only reason I couldn't give it 5 stars was that linen isn't provided. It's such a great convenience when you don't have to worry about bringing pillows, towels and blankets in an already packed full vehicle. We WILL be back next year and we can't wait.

Best place to stay on the river!

This house had everything we needed. But, the greatest thing about it is you are steps away from the river, you can watch your children playing in the river from the cabin and you can float right up to the cabin from you floating the river trip. We will be returning next Summer!!!

Always a Blast!

This is the second time we stayed in the Villas. We rented both Villa #1 and #2 because we have a large group of friends. The Villa was very clean and as a bonus, the linens on the beds were provided. Previously, everyone had to bring their own, so that was a nice upgrade. I would highly recommend staying here and will do it again. Thanks!

Good location for large gatherings

As far as location goes, it's great. The house backs to the river and has a shared backyard for the 10 unit gated community. The downside was that you had to bring everything with you, which made packing that much heavier. The photos should be updated with no pillows and blankets on the bed since that's not provided. You have to bring kitchen towels, hand towels, all your linens, hand soap, literally everything. And the kitchen amenities there were not the best and barely operable. The patio is the best part for hanging out and relaxing. However, when we arrived the outside was still dirty with trash cans filled with standing water and trash on the ground. If there are maids at the house, they should also tend to the outside. The communication was great and the owner responded quickly. Would definitely book again, but not a huge fan of having to bring basic amenities like sheets, towels and soap.

Great River Rental

Nice large home with plenty of room for everyone to stay. It rained a couple times over the weekend, but with the large covered patios, outdoor kitchen, and covered carport, there was plenty of room to be outside and still have fun. Definitely will be coming back!
