My extended family of 14 stayed here with our dogs and it was absolutely wonderful!!!! The house set up was really convenient for our mixed families of adults/kids, and the shared porches were a great place for everyone to hang out. The kitchens had everything we needed and worked well! The location of this house was pretty spectacular for us! Not only could we play in the river all day, we also rented tubes/ride and floated the river back to our house which was super convenient. I especially loved the dock!! Waking up and sitting on the dock, listening to the birds and nature is about as peaceful as it gets and as not many houses have one!! Truly a gem that we will be returning to!
Everything went fine. The house does have some minor maintenance issues and could use some TLC. The door knob on the bathroom barely works, the toilet seat was broken (this was fixed during the stay), a smoke detector was beeping, the beds all creaked, the master bed in one room was caving in. It could use more fans, better lighting. Most of that was tolerable except the bed. The owner did send good directions, the location on the river was nice. Midway between Gruene and Canyon Lake.
We really enjoyed our stay. The house is in a great location. Also just across the river from a shuttle to take us up river for our float. We will stay again.

Please come back and see us! For the LOWEST PRICE be sure to BOOK DIRECT from my personal web site. You should have already seen the duplex web site or saw the web address on my sign and/or on the pens and pads left for you on the table.
Everything was clean and ready for us to have a great weekend getaway. Stairs down to river could use some attention but all was good

Wonderful!!!
We have been twice going on number three. It is a wonderful place and a perfect location on the guadalupe. Owner responds to all emails. Place is well kept. Pictures are accurate and would highly recommend.
We had a wonderful time. The Rio Rattan duplex was great. The views were beautiful and the access to the river was perfect. We were able to just float right in front of the unit. There was plenty of space inside and out . Lots of shade and the big trees around the property were stunning. Plenty of parking and the unit was well stocked with everything we needed.

please come back again! I accept reservations starting on January 2. Be sure to visit RioRatonDuplex to book direct.
Perfect little spot. We literally didn’t leave the house the entire stay! Housed 14 adults very comfortably. The house was stocked with plenty of basic necessities. There was a ton of parking for multiple cars, as we parked them in tight. The owner was very communicative and gave us a great list of ‘heads up’s’ so that our family was prepared for our long weekend stay. The only complain was that the pull out couch wasn’t necessarily the most comfortable, but are they ever?! Had a great time and will definitely be renting from here next year

We love staying with this host as this was our second time and we were really excited. The property is beautiful and we would have rated this 5 stars however the duplex’s seemed like they were not cleaned before we arrived. One of the toilets had black mold in it and group members had to scrub the toilet upon arrival. Sheets throughout both complexes had stains and hairs all over them as well. We’re a relaxed bunch so it was fine for the stay but we were pretty bummed with the cleanliness of this place as we did not have this issue our first stay. Overall, we had a great weekend though and loved the beautiful home/property. Hosts were awesome upgrading us to their other property with more land for our dogs to hang out and we really appreciated that.
I'll start by saying if we needed to rent a place again, we would definitely consider this one! Any cons did not outweigh the pros by any means. We rented both sides for a stay with extended family! Great owner communication!So much deck space! River access was amazing, some shallow & some deep spots. You can float down to some small rapids & a rope swing. Outdoor shower was awesome!These homes have 2 big dining tables & having 2 kitchens with that many people was a plus. They were stocked with more than we expected & everything we needed.The bathrooms were well stocked also. We did not run out of bath towels & having a full bar of soap & shampoo was great.There are lots of beds & bedrooms! 7 out of the 8 beds were perfect, not too hard/too soft, all pillows & blankets we needed. The 8th bed was ok for 1 person to sleep in but awful for 2. We immediately sunk to the middle but piled 2-3 pillows in the middle & were able to sleep half decent. The lofts were comfortable but you are subject to any light from the outside. Being right across from a campground, lights were on all night & the loft balcony is a railing, not a half wall. We hung a blanket on the rail & blocked some of the lights. The bed here was comfortable enough that we got sleep despite the light. We were able to keep the late sleepers in one unit & the early risers in another. The negatives we found: no laundry, missing grate on 1 BBQ pit, lots of dust on the walls, mold on a few vents, & the 8th bed.
It was clean. The host was wonderful very informative and communicate was excellent. Very nice. The house being right on the water would definitely book again.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
We enjoyed our stay. We love that portion of the river. Plenty of parking, plenty of space for a lot of guests. The house was clean and tidy. Michael is very easy to communicate with and responds to messages in a very timely manner.We will definitely be coming back and I highly recommend a stay at this property.
This was our second stay and it was fantastic just like the last one was!
The owner is so nice and easy to communicate with and is always available. The spot on the river is one of the best! Both times we have stayed here we had a large group and never feel like we are on top of each other.
We had such an amazing weekend at the river! Michael’s house we perfect for our group - we had 14 people in total. There was plenty of space for people to feel comfortable and hang out. River access was easy and we just enjoyed floating in front of the house.
