The family room has two matching reclining leather love seats, two leather chairs, and a leather sofa bed with a full size mattress. We have two eating areas; the first is in the dining room and the second is a small, but very unique wooden table off of the kitchen where you can look outside toward the river and enjoy your morning coffee and play board or card games. A washer and dryer are provided for you as well sin the garage. Guests may not park their cars inside of the garage, but will have access to the garage for washing and drying clothes. Walk through the back door to a covered porch which offers comfortable patio furniture, an outdoor sink, and a propane grill. The house is located on nearly an acre and is set close to the street. The south side of the property borders the river. We have a dock from which you may drink your coffee in the morning or quietly listen to nature at its finest. The dock is located 330 feet from the rear of the house down a gently sloping back yard. From the dock, you can swim, boat, fish, or simply relax. Please choose 'Elda's House' for your upcoming vacation stay. You will enjoy the charm of the San Bernard River which is one of the three best skiing rivers in Texas. It is fun to see the beautiful boats motoring past and the occasional barge that passes by on its way to the refinery terminal about a mile north of us! Book your stay with us now!
