We had a fantastic time. The property is right on the river with large trees all around. It was perfect for our anniversary getaway weekend.

The location and views are great. The home not so much. We arrived to find a dirty nasty mop head sitting on the door step. When we entered the home there were dead bugs stuck to the all over the home. They claimed the home was just cleaned that day. There was hair in the showers, the kitchen faucet was falling off and oh boy the cabinets were feeled with roach droppings. The outside of the property could use some cleaning up as well. There was glass and cans along the watets edge, so we didn't even get to enjoy the water which was the reason we booked this property. To spend the type of money we did we expected a much nicer stay. Oh and dont bother trying to complain to management, Cheryl doesn’t care and will basically call you a liar and claim she has pictures from the cleaning crew where the house was clean. Lies Lies Lies. DO NOT RENT THIS PROPERTY OR FROM THIS PROPERTY OWNER

For the most part we enjoy the stay at this cottage.
There are a few things that could improve the stay at this place. We planned to grill in the BBQ gas grill, but we realized that the propane bottle was empty. We ended up re-filling the propane tank to be able to full fill our plan. The sign posted on the Microwave did not make sense in regards "under construction" Kitchen faucet so loose that it almost came loose a couple of times. We are not sure why this has not been fixed. We stay during the work week and it was nice and quiet. Overall we can do this again some other time. After all we want is peace. Love and respect one and other.

We did not stay at the property, the floors where covered in dead insects, especially roaches. The kitchen stunk like something was decaying, which we discovered when we opened one of the cabinets where a mop and other items where stored along with more dead roaches and dead flies. We sent photos and video and asked the management to help locate another property. The management sent this message,"The dead bugs indicate to me that the pest control is working. I understand why you might not want to stay, but we wont be moving you"
We have repeatedly requested a refund , but have been denied.
We have rented VRBO homes all over the US and foreign countries and have never been treated with such disrespect,and dismissive actions by a landlord as we where in this case.

The first impression was the irritating worn-out lock which took numerous attempts to get into the house. Not surprising after reading reviews from previous renters who had the same problem. Surprising that it was still like that.

The view of the river was very peaceful. We would get up early and drink coffee and enjoy all the wildlife. The house was only two or three hundred feet from the river. Great patio with fire pit for evening fires with a glass of made pleasant ending to our day.

The property was okay. Just has a dirty feeling about it. Do not come here expecting peace and quiet. The cabins next door to the right, produced incredible noise into late evenings. There were up to 15 people out on the adjoining dock drinking, arguing and very loud cursing. The houses a ross the river blared incredibly loud music into the late hours. When it did die down, the neighbors house to the left has to external lights that brightly illuminate this property. I guess it's okay if you just want to drink and raise Caine, but there is no peace or quiet.

This property needs work. The front door lock barely functions, sliding door lock doesn't work so a piece of wood has to be used to block it from opening. The return air vent in the hall is filthy.
There was some kind of food running down the inside of the freezer along with a half gallon of Blue Bell someone left. Obviously not cleaned. Both bedroom closets were locked. Filthy floats on back porch. Blinds for the sliding door are broken. Sliding door in bathroom is off the tracks. View is nice, river is beautiful! But, we won't be back.

Very much dated and that is not explained in advertising. Missing curtains, broken blinds and no real airflow to the sitting area. In all the worse place we’ve ever rented.

I have stayed in dozens of rental properties, but this one was the one with a fully stocked, welcoming kitchen: from hot cocoa supplies to bar b que utensils to oven ware. We needed a relaxing time and definitely felt refreshed and recharged after our three day weekend there.

As being recently retired, hubby and I was looking for a property right on the water. Just wanted peace and quiet. This property was perfect. The house was clean and quaint. We spent the majority of our time sitting on the back porch just enjoying the beautiful river. Will most definitely be staying again!

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay and the location couldn’t have been better. Would definitely rent again!

You’re paying for the location on the river, but that’s about it. And we were lucky we came during the off season or having tons of river action would have really distracted from that.
The property is quite dated, and as nearly every review mentions, the keypad on the front door needs replaced. One of the lights in the living room don’t turn on, and the lights in the fireplace/hearth area could only be turned on low or they flickered. Nearly none of the electric plugs could hold the chargers in the wall. And the fridge constantly leaks water at the bottom; we never figured out why! But you have no towels or paper towels to wipe it up.
You get one trash bag, one roll of toilet paper per bathroom and zero paper towels. These seem like basic essentials to have on hand at a rental property. And all the soap seemed to have been watered down, which seems unnecessary.
The porch area is the best part of the house, but like the kitchen table, there’s only two chairs for outdoor table…and one is broken at the top. Not a big deal if you’re not eating outside but there’s really no way to comfortably sit together and eat inside.
We were definitely disappointed in the overall home. It is in need of updates for sure. The best part is the backyard but even so, this property is way way WAY overpriced for what you get, even if you’re on the river.

I booked this for a 4 person bachelorette trip and we had a great time!! The place was clean and accommodating. Hot water was great. The view is beautiful from the back porch. Those rocks in the water are very slippery so be careful. I did not wear swim shoes but my friend did, we both slipped around about the same amount.
I do recommend replacing that front lock, it was sketchy. I recommend staying here!

The stay was over all very nice. The house is quaint and basic but the land is beautiful. Great place on the river, but didn't realize we were right nextdoor to a campground. This made for many neighbors and people in the water right in our backyard. Not too bad, but not as private as we thought it would be. The bed was very comfortable and that is always a plus. Many amenities for cooking and grilling, however all grills need to be replaced. The charcoal grill is completely corroded. The outdoor chairs are cheap and not comfortable. There is also not enough chairs to have multiple seating areas like the backyard allows. You are constantly moving plastic chairs back and forth up the hill of the property. I suggest some more sturdy and better quality chairs. The bathroom amenities such as towels were pretty aged and need to be replaced. I think with these inprovements this place goes from a "B" to an "A".

We had a great weekend at the Pecan Creek Cottage. The house was great and the river was the perfect way to beat the heat. We’re looking forward to future stays here.

Relaxing getaway with family. Tubes on the porch. Beautiful property, trees, decks, river, wildlife, river road. Eclectic design features. Bring your own Keurig. We loved Sergios Tacos for breakfast. Close to everything. Had a great time.

This was just what we needed! Tucked right into the hillside. Enough space for everyone to spread out but still cozy. Had everything we needed. Dishes, towels, floating tubes, gas and charcoal grill, and a full kitchen including coffee maker. Would be great in the winter too since there is a fireplace. Very clean too! With the River right outside the back door it was relaxing to hang out in the water. Be careful though, there are no rails on the steps to the river. Definitely recommend River shoes. Will be recommending to friends and family.

Friends weekend getaway
The house was comfortable for three couples. I believe a pull out couch would have been better for the accommodations m versus the sun room with a futon. Location and access to the river was excellent.

The house is in a beautiful spot, but it’s next door to a cabin campground so it gets crowded in front of the house. The house also needs a really good deep clean. I had to clean the kitchen before we could use it. The bedding, towels, bathrooms, and floors were clean though.

We stayed the weekend and were very pleased with the home, its furnishings, selection of kitchen items, and location on the river. Fishing was easy in the mornings and tubing was great the rest of the day. We were pleasantly surprised to find inner tubes available for us on the patio! Only detriment was the steep stairs to enter the house and walk down to the river (but that's to be expected on a river). Parking was flat and shaded - a HUGE plus in Texas. We would return again for another trip and would recommend for families or couples.

Short family trip. Great location on river and outdoor space. The entrance to river is rocky, so be careful.

We love this property on the river and have stayed several times. The house is very nice and location is perfect. House could use a little work with minor repairs such as fixing the ice maker and water filter on the fridge, but nothing major. House is well set up for families. Love the massage chair too.
Trout fishing in the river was fantastic this time! Caught 15 trout including a 22 inch beauty. Wading the river is a spiritual experience and a great way to connect with God and nature. I highly recommend this house and this area.

It was a wonderful river and we enjoyed our stay very much. My only complaint was the dear and live roaches we found on the floor(only a few). Still it’s worth staying there
