My sister and I stayed a couple of nights for a peaceful getaway. The house was clean, quiet and relaxing. Had everything we needed. Great stay! Would recommend.
The house is right on the river and perfectly positioned to go up river and float back to house or start at the house and float to L&L and get out. The house is the perfect fit for our annual girls trip. We have rented this location 3 times now and will continue to use it!!!!
Very charming house with river access. We had a wonderful time tubing the Guadalupe river and enjoying the beautiful property. Two foxes and a racoon visited us in the evening while we enjoyed the cool breeze on the covered deck. We also enjoyed morning yoga near the river.
Very clean, beds were super comfy, and the location was perfect. Great little spot to fish in the morning before the tubes start appearing. At night it was so amazing to see all the lightening bugs. And of course the floating was perfect.
This was such a cute property. It was very well kept and clean. The check in process was great. House was as pictured. I love how the bathroom has a separate “get ready space” with a mirror and small chair. WiFi/netflix/air conditioner/fridge all worked great. Not the best water pressure, but we were all able to take hot showers so that was nice. The chargers on the night stands were a great touch. Extra blankets and pillows if needed. The back porch was awesome with a great view of the river. The river isn’t far from the house either. I Would stay here again.
My wife and I stayed for her mothers day getaway. It was wonderfully quiet and peaceful. The house was cozy and clean, matching the description exactly. The location on the river is wonderful as well. We will be back for sure.
Everything was great start to finish! We had 6 ladies for a 4 night get away trip. We loved sitting on the back patio watching the bird and squirrels. The backyard is picturesque! Host was communicative. Beds were comfortable. 2 things to prepare for if you stay though! Bring toilet paper because we were only provided 2 rolls for 6 women on a 4 night trip. Also the chairs on the back patio are very uncomfortable without padding so bring cushions. We had bruises on our butts from them lol.
I stayed here for 3 months while I was looking for a house. The location is convenient and beautiful. It is a perfect getaway on the river with lots of wildlife. The owner is very responsive. I hated to leave.
This was our second stay on the property and as last year, we loved it. It was perfect for our family of 4, super clean, great river access, and comfortable. Kitchen is well stocked and made cooking easy. Can't wait to stay again next year!
This place is very clean and located in a very good spot, we brought our own tubes and were able to float right back to the house. Great place definitely coming back.
The house is perfect for a small group. The location is amazing and the little dock is perfect to fish off of or just sit and watch the water. It is our 2nd time to stay and we will definitely be booking again. The host is easy to communicate with and quick with responses.
My family and I had a wonderful stay. The home was clean, cozy, and we felt right at home. The neighborhood is quiet with plenty of deer, which my children loved to see.

About the host
Hosted by Robert Barrow
We purchased this property in 1994 as a place to use for friends and family. We have shared our house with many since 1994 and hope to keep doing so for years to come.
Why they chose this property
We purchased this house because it was right on the water and in the Texas Hill Country. We had visited the area several times and just happened to luck out finding the house for sale. The house is priced very competitively to similar properties making a great choice for accommodating 2 to 6 people.
What makes this property unique
The house is centrally located on the upper part of the river. This provides our quests with options for venturing out to other local establishments or attractions. The house sits in a quiet neighborhood about 4 miles from Canyon Lake. The river in this section runs deep and slow. This allows for swimming or just hanging out in a tube tied to our deck or one of the many cypress trees roots. The house is located about 5 minute walking distance from a river outfitter and makes it very easy to rent tubes or rafts without having to drive. We strive to keep a well maintained and clean house for our quests to enjoy.
