You'll find a kayak on site at this smoke-free cottage. Guadalupe River is just a short walk away, so you can leave your car at the property, which offers onsite parking, or jump in your vehicle to make short work of the 1-minute drive to Max Starcke Park.

After you return, you can unwind by the outdoor pool or sip a drink on the patio; you may also like the telescope and BBQ grill. As for the great indoors, you can try your hand at table tennis, or enjoy the free WiFi and TV.

A living room, air conditioning, a ceiling fan, and a desk are featured at this 5-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom rental. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a dishwasher, as well as an ice maker, a microwave, and cookware. And there's a washing machine, so you can even pack a bit lighter.
