  I really enjoyed my 1 week stay here, found it to be very quiet and relaxing. The sound of the river below the homewas soothing for the nerves. The home was very clean and just as described. I played 5 local golf courses which was quite a joy with the elevation changes (I'm from FLA). The weather was cool several nights and the fireplace was great. The home came ready with all the essentials and I recommend it to any couples or small families.

  It was another great trip to the river. This was our second stay at the river house and we loved it even more now that we know the area. Looking forward to coming back soon.

  We arrived on a Thursday afternoon and immediately feel in love with the place. Easy drive from the Dallas area! Beautiful scenery, lovely house and the views of the river were magnificant. The soothing sound of the river flowing was extremely relaxing. We saw several deer across the field each morning around 6:50 a.m. My husband brought his kayak however 2 were available to use on the property, which I tried kayaking for the first time myself, LOVED IT! Extremely easy to get into the water right in front of the property. Alot of people fishing for trout and my husband caught a nice 20" one. In regards to the house itself, it was a home away from home! We brought things we thought we might need but didn't need them as the kitchen was well stocked with all the gadgets and applicances. We loved having a microwave, dishwasher and washer/dryer. It was nice having the "soaps" available for use as well. The beds were very comfortable and we were able to use the fireplace which made a romantic setting. The little extras were wonderful down to the Qtips in the restroom. We loved the information notebooks on the coffee table, very useful. Instructions for the different items in the house were very helpful. We did try the local barbeque place and Sweenies donuts which was very good. We cooked most of our food at the house. Enjoyed morning coffee on the 3 different sitting areas outside while watching the fish jump, deer and squirrels! I would highly recommend this place to anyone, we already have next years trip booked! Thank you for sharing your wonderful piece of Paradise!

  Our five weeks at the river house could not have been any better!!!!. The pictures do not do the place justice!!! The view is amazing!!! The owners have thought of everything you could ever wish for to make your stay pleasant. The home was spotless when we arrived. A fresh boutique of flowers were waiting for us on the breakfast bar which was an unexpected surprise!! Working with the owner is very easy. He returns emails promptly and accurately. We will definitely recommend this place to our friends. While we were there we were able to watch the stocking of the river with trout which was very interesting. Watching the fisherman and wildlife each day was great. We actually watch two hawlks build a nest in one of the trees right in front of the house. It was fascinating to watch how they went about their project. We will definitely be returning to thie "little piece of heaven"!!! Phillip Carlson

  What a wonderful way to spend 7 days over the Thanksgving holiday. Complete with early morning fishing, mid-day kayaking, afternoon naps, evening games and nightime moon-gazing this was the perfect holiday in the perfect place. Chris and Amanda have thought of everything. One need only bring something to wear, something to eat and drink and of course, something to fish with. The sound of the river will soothe all that ails you. In fact, the only problem with this retreat is that it is difficult to leave. Thank you for sharing this slice of heaven.

  Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. Your home has it all. Beautiful scenery all around and best of all is the waterfall. So relaxing to watch and hear. The tubes and kayaks provided make it so easy to just jump right in the river and float and paddle immediately without any hassles. We saw all types of wildlife while paddling up river. After a lot of fun during the day, the beds are so comfortable, We easily caught up on much needed rest. We hope for another visit in the future. I also want to thank you for allowing us to bring our dog. She is such an important part of our family. She had a great time playing in the back yard, taking walks and riding in the kayaks. We enjoyed visiting Mrs. Bush's Pie Shop for some sweets.(Pecan and Key Lime Pie). Delicious. She also makes treats for dogs. Our dog loved them. We also enjoyed some great Italian food from Gennaro's Trattoria. There bread is awesome.

  We chose well!. My husband and two sons rented this wonderful home for a week. We thoroughly enjoyed the back yard area, the rapids, kayaking and just relaxing on the lower deck near the river. It was nice to sit and watch nature. Chris was wonderful to deal with and was very patient with all of my questions. I highly recommend this home and will definitely be making a trip back.

  We had an excellent time at the cabin. The view and the patio were both very relaxing, with a waterfall right outside the backdoor which provided a wonderful backdrop for the weekend. Accomadations were as advertised and the cabin was plenty spacious for our group. The location also provided easy access to town for food and supplies as well as quick river access. We did run into one brief problem - the tube rental spot nearby refused to take us with our own tubes! We were able to find a helpful person with a truck, but the owner of the tube place was very rude. However, that did not detract from our weekend nor should it detract from this rental!

  The property was very nice, loved the openess of the kitchen, living and dining rooms. Very clean, had plenty of towels and kitchen had everything you needed to cook with. It was very nice and quiet sitting out on the various patio's in the back yard, just enjoyed kicking back and listening to the water. The owner was very informative and helpful with a information about the local area, things to do, restaurants and stores, ect.... We cooked at the house, but enjoyed kayaking the river, went over to Canyon Lake Dam and walked across it, and around part of it. Also enjoyed a nature trail over in that area across from the dam. Really enjoyed our stay
