This was our 2nd time renting this home. The house is great, especially the outdoor area. The location is quiet and secluded. Unfortunately, both times the house was not as clean as we expected. You should also know that when they say that linens are not included, they mean that you have to bring your own pillows and blankets/bed coverings, not just sheets and towels.

The vacation rental with the absolute LEAST
We come to the river with friends every year. As long as there’s a roof over our heads we will still have fun. The house by no means made our stay unenjoyable but I don’t think we’d stay here again. First of all, absolutely nothing is included: no bed sheets, pillows, towels, toilet paper, soap, even the water dispenser and ice maker in the fridge/freezer is disconnected and can’t be used. You have to bring everything - literally everything.
Parts of the house get very cool with their ac units and other parts don’t, like the bunk rooms.
At night there are cockroaches literally everywhere.
The house doesn’t look or feel very clean but it isn’t particularly gross.
There’s no dishwasher. No scrub brush or sponges. No soap. If you’re going to use any dishes you need to bring all your own cleaning supplies.
All in all, we spent nearly three grand to stay here for a long weekend, and instead of a nice hospitable place, we basically got a roof and a mattress.
Pros: river access is good and it’s on a nice part of the river. The back patio is great as long as you don’t mind cockroaches. The outdoor kitchen garage area is really cool. Close to the horseshoe if you want to float the Guadalupe, close enough to Gruene and new braunfels that those trips are short and easy.
Really not a bad place, but the hosts are either extremely lazy or extremely cheap not to provide literally any kind of amenities at the price they’re charging for this house.

Great Experience
I’ve been going to the river for 20+ years and this has been one of my favorite houses to stay in! It’s a true “river house.” There’s nothing glamorous about it, but the house is cute and quirky and has a cool layout. You literally feel like you are in a tree house. We spent most of our time on the back deck or outdoor kitchen area (which was great!) It’s a short walk down to the river and had a cool hangout spot down there. The river is a little low so we were able to put chairs out in the water and just hangout. The walk back up is pretty steep and there are a lot of steps. I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone that has a hard time getting around. We had a small issue with the a/c not working in one of the bedrooms. I called the property manager and he had someone out within 30 minutes to fix it. Great service! Overall - we would totally stay here again!

We had a great time while staying at this property. The outdoor kitchen came in handy! Plenty of deck space and area to relax outside. Be careful if you plan on taking elderly people. The floor is not completely flat. There are areas indoors and out that are different levels. The house was dark, but only because of dim lighting and a few bulbs being out. Also, if you plan on bringing small children, mind the open hole in the floor upstairs next the bathroom. It goes all the way down to the laundry room. Overall, this house was neat and we had a lovely time!

We had an amazing time for my birthday and Memorial weekend. Lots of room and the outdoor kitchen was the best part of the stay. A couple of the AC units didn't work but house stayed comfortable. River access was the perfect way to relax right out the back door and down the stairs. We were disappointed there was not a dish washer or fire pit as described in house details.

Great area overall and not a bad place to stay. Outdoor area isn’t the cleanest with empty beer cans, etc scattered throughout the property but the inside was very clean. Great location with easy access to the river!

We rented the house for our anniversary and made the drive out to walk in to the strong smell of smoke, dirty fridge, counter tops, food on surfaces including the stove, party on the deck never cleaned up, doors not properly secured, the list goes in and we have pictures to prove that what we walked into was NOT safe or sanitary! The exposed light sockets and black mold upstairs were disgusting and hazardous!
We obviously didn’t stay and we had to scramble to find accommodations for the long weekend last minute.
I immediately informed the property manager, who apologized and promised 100% refund via email, but I have not received a response regarding eta or seen the refund hit my account. The entire trip plus a cleaning fee and deposit were all charged prior to our trip and we never even stayed a night!
During a pandemic, you advertise proper sanitation measures but no sponge or broom was even used in there let alone additional sanitation measures.

Overall a great property.
The floors were not clean, there were some old beer cans left on property, a couple of heaters in a few rooms didn’t work and the cable did not work but other than that it was a great property and we would rent again.

Beware
1. No cable TV or Internet service during the stay - called the number provided, spoke to an employee and didn't hear back from them.
2. Water sprays out of downstairs bathroom faucet on wall to left
3. No hot water in same bathroom sink
4. Kitchen faucet sprays to side
5. No mention of Keurig unit would have been nice to know. Mr. Coffee maker missing parts.
6. HVAC units. At least 2 or 3 units don’t work and one leaks. Remotes didn't appear to do anything.
7. Turned off light in kitchen over rack. Light continued to blink all night, assuming an electrical issue of sorts
8. Nail poking out of deck toward staircase tore up tube
9. Toilet down stairs rocks and is unstable
10. Mouse trap and food items upstairs stool area
11. Dead bugs lying around, didn’t look like anyone had vacuumed in a while
12. Outlets that didn’t work and couldn’t figure out what switch if any controlled them
13. Backdoor to house by dining area won’t remain closed without slide bolt in place
14. Uneven floors in places, safety issue
We encountered several other issues not worth mentioning. It's sad because the place does have potential but after reading other reviews about the lack of ownership responsiveness and our own experience, it not surprising we ran into what we did and it's certainly not worth the rate they are asking.
Also as it won't be called out by the owner, they provide nothing. Not just sheets and paper goods, but no dish washing soap, dishwasher, no disinfectants, cleaners, trash bags or anything else.

Great place to stay!!! Only negatives were neither the wifi or cable worked, air conditioners were very complicated and many of the remotes did not work. Very minor things and the overall stay was great.

Great Weekend but Rental Needs a Few Easy Fixes
I rated this three stars in part as an attention grabber because there are a few important issues everyone interested in the property should be aware of that you wouldn't necessarily know from the listing. I'll start with the Cons...
CONS:
1. As noted in the listing (although it's easy to scan over), this property doesn't come with linens, towels, blankets, or pillows. They actually don't mention the pillows or blankets until you book and receive the info sheet. We realized this only a week before our stay which I take responsibility for, but with most of our group flying in from all over the country, this became a major logistical issue in a hurry. We managed to order a bunch of cheap sets of everything from Wal-Mart that we could simply leave behind, but it was an unexpected expense.
The Property Manager was as accommodating as possible but the bottomline and final answer was that there wasn't anything they could do.
It is absurd in 2017 that a rental house wouldn't have pillows and blankets provided, and only slightly less crazy that they wouldn't offer linens, towels, toilet paper, etc. I've booked over a dozen VRBO houses and this was the first time I've ever run into this issue. My advice is if you don't have the ability to drive with a bunch of linens and pillows (enough for 12-14 beds), this probably isn't the house for you.
2. The second issue was noted in a previous review, but the A/C in the largest sleeping room (bunk room) is virtually worthless. I don't think we were ever able to get it below 78-80 degrees in there, which isn't a comfortable temperature to sleep in for most adults. Several people chose to sleep in the Living Room recliner or on the floor where there was a strong A/C unit. If you're putting 6+ kids in that room you may be fine, but it wasn't adequate for 6 adults.
There was also an issue with getting all of the A/C units on at first because only about one-third of the remotes worked. Luckily, the working remotes could be used on any of the units.
PROS:
1. House is as advertised in the pictures. Outdoor kitchen (which I don't even think is pictured) is incredible and along with the great deck is by far the best part of the house.
2. River access is easy and convenient.
All in all it was a great three-day weekend but I don't know that we would stay here again unless the A/C unit in the largest room was replaced and we had an easier way to handle the linens, pillows, towels, etc. issue.

We really enjoyed grilling on the patio and hanging out by the water. It was a great weekend. The garage was fantastic as well!

Birthday Weekend
Ten of us stayed at the yellow house this past weekend (June 2-4). This house is really cool! It's like a giant tree house. The kitchen was great for preparing meals for a large group. We had a few days guests, too. There was plenty of room for everybody to hang out and enjoy the property after a long day of floating the river. I would bring a big box fan for hanging our on the patios.. and maybe a fan for the bunk room, since it's such an open space. We had some issues with the upstairs potty on the second day and called for somebody to fix it, but nobody every came out. It was a big inconvenience having to fill the tank every time it needed to be flushed, but that was the only issue we had. We'd come back to the yellow house!
