Secluded Retreat Near Riverwalk

Very beautiful property and pool. Close to river walk and down town.

The house was clean and nice. Proximity to the riverwalk was amazing. The pool and yard were perfect. People were friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

The only nitpick is the extra beds. There are two nice, comfortable beds in the place. The additional beds (which cost extra) are small trundles which are horribly uncomfortable.

We were meeting our adult daughter at the Texas Music Education Association Convention, and booked the carriage house because it can accommodate up to 6 people. She and a friend were staying with us. Please be aware that only 2 beds are made up for the cost of the rooms, so the 3rd bed was an additional charge. Another teacher stayed with us for a night, and linens were reluctantly provided at an additional cost, but not the additional towel that I requested. Apparently, they were concerned that the sheets would be ripped if the pull out couch was used in the living room. We were very careful. The mattresses on the beds were soft, but O.K. The other mattresses a bit lumpy and old. Linens were fresh and clean!

The Carraige House is located at the owner's property and across the street from the Oge House. Overnight parking is available next to the Oge House. Riverwalk Loop is about a 15 minute walk from the sight and the Riverwalk access is located a couple minutes away. Some eating establishments are within walking distance around the nice historical neighborhood. There is a nice pool area, which we were unable to take advantage of because of the weather. The living area has a combined sitting area, kitchen and dining table. The kitchen has a full refrigerator, dishwasher, kitchen sink and gas stove, with ample glasses, silverware and the usual kitchen items. The sleeping area consists of two independent rooms, each with a large bed, fireplace (logs), cable TV and dressers. Each room has a bathroom (claw tub,with shower, pedestal sink, toilet and hair dryer with towels). Overall, we found the space to be very nice and would recommend it., Some minor items that we would like to point out would be, it would have been nice to have a TV located in the common area, in addition to or in place of the bedrooms. Our fireplace logs did not work work in one of the rooms (but not a big deal for us). When the garage door was opened below us, it was a short but noticeable noise to an otherwise quiet area. Again, we would recommend this location for access to downtown, without being located directly downtown. Easy access to highways and to other nearby points of interest. Our six night stay cost about $1,700.00 with taxes (two rooms) for three adults. Thanks for the stay.

Beautiful and surprisingly spacious for a 2 bedroom carriage apartment. Has a lovely family history.
