This is a great location on the river. Over the last 20 years we have stayed on River Road, this location on the river may be the best. We enjoyed sitting by the water, and on the covered porch. The space was clean and had everything we needed. When the arrived the AC was off and would not turn on. I reached out to the host, he was responsive and had the AC repair company out within an hour. We were enjoying the outside, there was no inconvience at all. We'll be back!

Highly Recommend

The house is right on the river and perfectly positioned to go up river and float back to house or start at the house and float to L&L and get out. The house is the perfect fit for our annual girls trip. We have rented this location 3 times now and will continue to use it!!!!

About the host

Hosted by Robert Barrow

Host profile image
We purchased this property in 1994 as a place to use for friends and family. We have shared our house with many since 1994 and hope to keep doing so for years to come.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this house because it was right on the water and in the Texas Hill Country. We had visited the area several times and just happened to luck out finding the house for sale. The house is priced very competitively to similar properties making a great choice for accommodating 2 to 6 people.

What makes this property unique

The house is centrally located on the upper part of the river. This provides our quests with options for venturing out to other local establishments or attractions. The house sits in a quiet neighborhood about 4 miles from Canyon Lake. The river in this section runs deep and slow. This allows for swimming or just hanging out in a tube tied to our deck or one of the many cypress trees roots. The house is located about 5 minute walking distance from a river outfitter and makes it very easy to rent tubes or rafts without having to drive. We strive to keep a well maintained and clean house for our quests to enjoy.
