Great time! House was well supplied. We don't think the coffee maker was working. It got hot but didnt put water throgh the grounds. We used the Keurig.
thanks for everything!

A few notes: The camo kayak needs to be retired - it has a visible crack in it on the top side, yet my daughter “tested” it out and thought it would be ok … it DEFINITELY WAS NOT. She got pretty far down the river with it before she realized it was taking on water .. then had a terrible battle-swim trying to get back with it. Could have been a dangerous situation with little kids or someone not as strong and determined as she was.
The paddle boards were super fun! Thanks for providing those and a pump to use!
Lighting on the decks was fabulous for night fishing
The “tree house” deck was wonderful to enjoy our coffee together in the mornings :) thanks for the yummy coffee provided!
I enjoyed the use of your fishing poles! Nice to not have to pack my own - yet had the basics to fish a little. You do have one pole - that “looks” great, yet the reel is actually broken at base and will not stay on the rod. It’s in the cabin in the rod stand.
The remotes for the air unit on the porch and the living room tv need batteries - neither could be used at all until we temporarily robbed some of our own and used them.
A few roaches - eewww - yet I’m sure that’s a constant “normal” battle with a river front property ??
Some of these things I figure you might not realize unless told ;)
Again thank you so much for fixing the hot water issue as soon as you could - you saved us!
Overall - Great place to stay! Thanks again!

The house is decorated like Grandma’s complete with antique cookie jars. This was the perfect setting for our family to celebrate our late mother’s 84th birthday. The kitchen had everything we needed. For recreation the house was fully stocked with paddle boards, kayaks, & noodles in which to enjoy the Barton Spring cold water. It felt wonderful once you got used to it. In 105’ weather, it’s the perfect place to be in Texas.
Hope we can stay here again.

This was perfect for our family vacation. All the water toys that were provided were awesome and made it so easy to enjoy the water. My girls are 7 and the bunk beds were one of the high lights of their trip, along with the solo kayaks. We traveld up the river each day and played in the shoot that was not far from the house. This spot was peaceful and enjoyable. Highly recommend.

The property was great. Location was great. We enjoyed our stay very much. The only reason I gave it a four overall was because some of the "toys" listed were not usable or not there at all. It list tubes but none were found. The kayaks are in bad need of replacing. Handles broken making it hard to get them in and out of water. Seats also broken. Everything else was great. WE made good use of the canoe. Good communications with Angela and Bryan. House was clean and provided essentials. We would recommend it to others but we recommend not listing things unavailable or not usable. You go there expecting it and are disappointed when those items are missing or broken.

Stayed long enough to feel like a local. Only complaint is none of bedrooms had TVS. We like to wind down at night w TV in bedroom. TVs are cheap now. We went to WalM and bought a 50+” TV for $198. Otherwise the house was very complex.

We wanted to spend time with each other and decompress, this is the perfect location for that. We were close to tubing, restaurants, and shopping. Nothing was over 25 minutes away.
This house had a very fun vibe to it. Lots of places to gather and enjoy nature.

Our family of four (and two of the adult kids friends), had an amazing time at this property!
Given the Texas heat that we are experiencing, the house itself was amazingly cool, and refreshing, morning, noon and night, and the Guadalupe was absolutely cold! Enough so that you can keep your beverages in the water and keep them “ice cold”.
The house itself felt really open with plenty of space for up to 8-10 people. There were plenty of towels for both showers and outdoor river activities, as well as plenty of outdoor space for everyone. There is a gorgeous tree out back with seating as you walk out that we would spend our mornings and afternoons relaxing, listening to the birds and cicadas, and watching the river activity and ducks/ducklings.
The property had a canoe, paddle boards and a few kayaks we used. Everything needed a bit of a rinse off, but we made it work.
One recommendation that I would make if using the canoe/paddle boards, etc., is to hang a right when on the river (from the property), as right upstream there are a few dams with place to park your boards/canoes etc., get out and enjoy a nice dip, picnic, or the rapids with a tube or two. We hung out here with the family for a while as this part of the river is quite and gorgeous (not deep and clear), then hopped back on our boards, and within a few minutes we were back at the river haus. Another recommendation is to bring your own tubes and life jackets just to be sure your fam is accommodated.

Everything was very nice. The patio and river access was relaxing and quiet. Loved the fully stocked kitchen. It made it easy to prepare meals in a kitchen that is not my own. We will definitely put this one on our list to come back to.

The house is very beautiful and clean with comfortable beds, but the shining gem are the back decks. From the top stone deck with covered picnic table and fire pit and bbq pit to the wonderful deck around the cypress to the lower decks with tables and chairs and river access. I’d stay again.

Everything is as stated on website. Walking distance to the lake. Had an issue with the hot water which was resolved early the next morning of being reported. Stocked kitchen, fireplace, fire pits (2), many river “toys”, deck in the trees!

The house is good for group stay, a well equipped kitchen with extra spices and oil already on the shelfs. The outdoor deck area is pretty impressive we spent two of our 4 nights out there to socialize - the weather was cold and wet the other two nights so we stayed in. I can see how the river would be very popular in warmer weather. 2 of the party did get out on the canoe for a short bit since sunset comes early this time of year. The beds are comfortable but you need a step to reach the bed in the master bedroom. The house came with an outdoor cat but the pantry has cat food in it so it wasn't too much trouble to feed.

Positives:
Property is well renovated and furnished. Cute decor!
Outdoor areas in the back are very beautiful as well as view of the river.
Nice linens and a couple of "extras" - enjoyed the wine & chocolate!
Not so Positives:
Some of the equipment needs updating and maintenance.
The river is very cold ... apparently year-round due to the way it is fed from Canyon Lake. Would have been nice to know this in advance!
Dishwasher broke during our stay. Property manager did offer to have someone come to fix it, but by that time we had just a day or so left. They didn't seem overly responsive to the issue.
Neighborhood as you approach the house is a little run-down.
Overall, felt it was over-priced for what you get.

Perfect family getaway
Clean large water view property with many things already in home to use and make your stay more enjoyable and more comfortable.
Would have liked the back porch area cleared of cob webs and leaves before our arrival- other than that it was nice

Fun Family Getaway with Minimal Hiccups
This house is really cute with an amazing outdoor space.
The good: The outdoor area is beautiful and there are plenty of paddle boards, kayaks, floats and life jackets for everyone. This is a great rental for a family looking for fun AND relaxation. I spent hours, each day, on the deck with the hubs while the kids played in the river. The indoor space is clean and comfortable (I was especially impressed with the master bathtub and the linens). The property managers are communicative and helpful.
The could be better: Upon arrival, the cleaning crew was not finished due to a check out issue with the previous renter; no biggie. The property manager set us up with a bottle of wine for the trouble. The living room television has an issue; there is about a 6 inch wide column on the left side of the television screen that doesn't properly function and flickers - it is tough to watch. The master bath had only one of 6 or 7 lightbulbs that worked and the exhaust fan didn't work. All very minor issues. I communicated this to the property manager and she was very responsive and said she would look into these minor details.
Hands down; I would stay here again. It is exactly as represented. We had a party of 6 and could have easily added another adult or two more children and still been comfortable.

Wonderful time
There were 8 of us at the property. Accommodations were great. We locked ourselves out and had to contact the property managers. They were easy to get hold of and responded promptly.

Amazing patio over the river
Could not be happier. Pictures do not do this place justice. Comfortable inside but hard to not stay out on the patio or in the water with the available kayaks.

We rent from VRBO often and I would say this was the most well equipped house we've ever stayed in. It was very comfortable and centrally located to all the areas we wanted to see. The views and access to the river were amazing. Highly recommended!

We have been floating the Guadalupe for years but have nevered stayed on the river overnight. My husband rented this house for my 60th and all of my children and significant others met us there for the weekend. The house had everything you would need and was very comfortable. The quick access to the river was amazing. There are multiple decks overlooking the river and a variety of toys to play with on the river! It was so peaceful and relaxing. We will definitely be back! Thank you for a wonderful time!
