Loved our stay! There was plenty of room for everyone, plenty of bedding, and they had great communication. Loved the river access and how close it was to where we ended up tubing!

This was the perfect place to stay for a family outing!!! It was a very short walk to the river and was no problem at all. The beds were comfy and there were plenty for our party. The kids loved the river so much!! I would definitely rent again.

Misleading riverfront property on a hill

This listing is not as accurate as I would have liked. It is not directly on the river its about 200 yards from the river.

Perfect location

We love the location of these properties because the access to the river is ideal for both children and adults. We’ve stayed at a couple of the houses on this property and this house had plenty of room and we enjoyed our stay. The house had a smell like a septic tank was near by and the overall cleanliness of the house could have been better. Overall it was ideal for our short stay and we enjoyed being here.

Not Worth the Rental Price

Potentiall renters, ask lots of questions before spending the exorbitant amount of money on this rental! While my family and I were able to have a good time together at this location, the astronomical rental price is not warranted for what you get. The managers of the property will tell you it's very clear what to expect, based on their listing, but that wasn't the case for us. We expected a home on the river. What we got was a home about 150 yards from the river, with no view of water. To reach the river, you have to travel down a very steep ramp, and you'll find a common area that includes river access. I would suggest asking for a site map to understand the layout of the property, prior to renting. Based on the pictures in the listing, all the adults in my party believed we were renting a space on the river, understanding there was a common area for river access. In the end, disabled members of our party were not able to get to the river, unless brought back and forth in a vehicle. Next, ask for the agreement paperwork before the cancellation period ends. The managers of this property sent an agreement for me to sign a few days before we were to arrive, asking me to agree to "pop-ins" by the managers, to agree to being asked to "leave immediately" if more than 18 guests were at the property, and to agree to a maximum of 4 vehicles for parking. Additional parking is made available for a fee at the nearby icehouse, or you're told you can park additional cars at the HEB parking lot, which is not a short drive away. Next, when we called to see if the property could accommodate 2 day visitors, we were told that we could not be accomodated and were alerted to the septic system being an issue and that's the reason for the 18 person maximum. We did smell sewage inside the home on multiple occasions during our two night stay. In addition, the home is located across the street from an icehouse and general store. While the general store came in handy for a few forgotten items, the icehouse had live or DJ'd music both nights we were there. The extremely loud thumping bass didn't stop until 12am both nights. This kept several members of our party awake until then. Another item to note, especially for those who aren't able-bodied, is that there are a lot of steps to navigate throughout the home. Each room seems to be on a different level than the next. In the end, we thought location would make the rental price worth it. It does not.

Hi Lauren, Thank you for your feedback! I will say, if you were to have read the property listing in full, all of these items were previously mentioned and addressed. We do have a maximum occupancy of 18 guests due to the house size, 18 is already a large number and unfortunately we can not invite any day visitors that will increase on the wear and tear to the property and septic. This is included in the Property Policies you receive immediately after booking, and the ones we mentioned in your confirmation email that will be sent 15 days prior to your arrival. There are many pictures which show "View from Cabin on the Hill Deck" and are labeled as such, versus the pictures of the common area that are labeled "Common area". We even include a picture of the side of the house that shows the hill going down to the other properties and the river. The prices reflect the summer season, for a group of 18 guests. The pictures clearly do show steps throughout the house, and we do include on the listing that there is a maximum occupancy of 18 guests and parking for 4 vehicles. You took it upon yourself to park your 5th car at the property regardless of our rules, because you mentioned "it could fit". While we appreciate the feedback, we have already done everything to our listing to be as transparent as possible, so unfortunately I can not in all honesty say we can do anything different. Best of luck!
