About the host
Hosted by Sarah Dickinson Shalab
Due to the horrific flood on 7/4/25 our beautiful place is no longer rentable due to the devastating damage done by the flood waters. In a matter of a few hours everything changed in our peaceful community. People lost their lives and fear was instilled regarding the Guadalupe River. Please visit us @ Kipp Cottage on instagram for pictures of the flood. Thanks for your interest in our property. We’ve been blessed in owning this property as a family for almost 80 years. We are delighted to share our place with others to bring relaxation and fun. God willing we will be able to help rebuild it and renew its tranquility.
Why they chose this property
This was our family vacation home. My Grandparents were from Harlingen TX and they wanted a cool, fun place to swim and fish. We’ve had many lovely camping experiences through the years with all the Camps. Mystic, La Junta, Camp Stewart to name a few. Many fun memories of going to Crider's Rodeo/Dance, sliding down the Ingram Dam, Hiking around MO Ranch and having lunch at the Hunt Store.
What makes this property unique
The little cabin home with a breath taking view of the peaceful Guadalupe River. The majestic bald cypress trees on the water front and the wildlife that calls it their home. Axis deer, whitetail deer, geese, eagles, raccoons, porcupines, hummingbirds, turtles and fireflies.
