This place is absolutely gorgeous, the craftsmanship of the place is next level and the property is amazing. We live nearby and rented it for an anniversary staycation. Prime river spot ! Views from the house and a very easy walk to the river which is an epic sandy beach with a wide, deep swimming area. You can also walk a bit upriver and float or paddle board back down easily. We saw bald eagles, osprey and great blue herons multiple times as there are no homes in sight. The location is private (but you will still see other folks on the river esp during summer) and has everything you need. I prepared for multiple meals and had plenty of room to store everything and all the cookware I required. The property owners were there and such a pleasure to chat with and always very helpful. Even though the main house is close we still felt like we had our privacy. We loved exploring the river and relaxing in the hot tub. It was slightly cool with bouts of rain while we were there, but still enjoyed every minute. Our kid loved his little spot up in the loft and the beds were very comfortable. We are still thinking about how amazing it was and are already dreaming about when we can book again! What a gem!

Me and my wife loved our stay here the property was very nice, with the beach on the river and the awesome pool. Once we got there we didnt want to leave!

Great place and very peaceful. The pool was perfect since we were there on 90 degree days. Would absolutely recommend if you want a slow pace place to stay.

An hour or so drive from home, this was a beautiful home to enjoy the river. Lovely, sandy river bank that you have all to yourself.

My wife and I stopped here for a quick 3-day trip and enjoyed the lovely pool overlooking the river. River access was great, an easy walk down a slowly sloping road just below the house. I'd venture to say it's probably the best river access of any house in the area. The water was a bit chilly for swimming while we were there, but it's a lovely spot for fishing and relaxing on the bank. Our favorite was just listening to the water. The stonework on the house and surroundings is impressive. The kitchen was exceptionally well appointed. Nice place. Sylvia was a pleasure to deal with, hope to be back some time in the future.

Enjoyable visit to the Mountain Pool house, the craftsmanship of this home is amazing. A wonderful view of the Trinity River which is just a short hike away. On a hot Summer visit, plenty options to cool down a dip in the pool or a float on the river are both enjoyable. You should be comfortable with dogs, this is truly a pet friendly property . Thank you Larry & Sylvia for sharing your home for us to enjoy a quiet 4th of July and our 27 anniversary.

The Pool House is charming, very classy, and comfortable with everything you need. The views of the Trinity River are great and you have use of the pool and private access River beach. The owner is extremely welcoming and helpful, and an altogether terrific person. I loved the whole experience.

We loved this stay last summer! We were actually Sylvia’s first guests. This year, although the property was definitely amazing again (middle of the trees, quiet, rustic), we didn’t appreciate having to share the pool with the owner. Although she is very nice, it made the stay feel not as private and relaxing, and at times awkward. I am currently going through cancer treatments, so we wanted something very relaxing and private, and unfortunately, this wasn’t quite like last year. We also had our two dogs with us, who are very calm with each other, but the owner had a tenant who was also on the property who also had a dog that would often run around freely, which would get our dogs all riled up. And on a different topic, the pool house is infested with carpenter bees, so it made it difficult to eat on the porch as they were constantly swarming in that area. We found ourselves inside more than we cared for. Last year, we were outside every morning and evening - this year, we were in the pool house. Overall, it was a nice stay, because being by the pool and in the trees is always nice, but the lack of solitude and having to share facilities definitely brought down the “vacation” feel. Our trip was over $2000, so having to share the pool, just didn’t seem right.
