Perfect get away

Very clean, beds were super comfy, and the location was perfect. Great little spot to fish in the morning before the tubes start appearing. At night it was so amazing to see all the lightening bugs. And of course the floating was perfect.

Such a beautiful river view

Everything was great start to finish! We had 6 ladies for a 4 night get away trip. We loved sitting on the back patio watching the bird and squirrels. The backyard is picturesque! Host was communicative. Beds were comfortable. 2 things to prepare for if you stay though! Bring toilet paper because we were only provided 2 rolls for 6 women on a 4 night trip. Also the chairs on the back patio are very uncomfortable without padding so bring cushions. We had bruises on our butts from them lol.

I stayed here for 3 months while I was looking for a house. The location is convenient and beautiful. It is a perfect getaway on the river with lots of wildlife. The owner is very responsive. I hated to leave.

Second Stay-Second Time LOVING It

This was our second stay on the property and as last year, we loved it. It was perfect for our family of 4, super clean, great river access, and comfortable. Kitchen is well stocked and made cooking easy. Can't wait to stay again next year!

Great Place

The house is perfect for a small group. The location is amazing and the little dock is perfect to fish off of or just sit and watch the water. It is our 2nd time to stay and we will definitely be booking again. The host is easy to communicate with and quick with responses.

Peaceful river stay

Home was clean, kitchen was well equipped. Refrigerator had an icemaker. Plenty of towels and cleaning items available. The beds were comfortable and plenty of pillows.The backyard was simple, covered deck with a table a chairs. Grss covered lawn and beautiful cypress tress providing shade. Steps leading down to the river. There is a wooden dock. I was hoping for a place to put my chair in the river water and relax, but the water is too deep there, it just drops off. Only some roots to step down on. Getting out is a challenge without any handles to pull up on. We did enjoy swimming and floating in our tubes. We were there during the week. It was very quiet and peacefull. Many turtles, ducks, and a variety of birds to watch. We saw some small mouthed bass and perch.

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.
