Family Holidays Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time from the moment we got there through checkout. The home was gorgeous and very spacious. The setup outside was perfect for what our family wanted, everyone had their own little "hangout" spot. The bottom deck with the fire pit was a personal fave for me, as it allowed a spot and not everyone was bothered by the smoke. We are already planning our next trip there

Perfect for our big families

Such an easy check in process! This property was perfect for our big families to all stay together while having plenty of our own space. We were very nervous for our stay as we are very “picky”individuals but we 10/10 would recommend this property! Incredible views with easy access to swim in the Guadalupe river and big deck to sit near water! We enjoyed every bit of the water activities provided and surrounding! It was very convenient to float the comal river as well. Would definitely book again for our next trip!

Incredibly close to the city, and on the river too!

Loved the variety of spaces! Sprawling decks overlooking the river. Meandering common areas which accommodate the varied interests, and separate conversations, of a large group. The upstairs master bedroom is huge! Check-in was a cinch, as was check-out.

Great time for our girls weekend!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great weekend at this property! The location was ideal—close to everything and easy to get around. The house was a perfect size for our group, and being right on the river made for beautiful views and a relaxing atmosphere.A few things to note: the futons weren’t very comfortable and offered little support, and the home could use a bit more detailed cleaning and minor cosmetic updates. The dishwasher was okay, but some dishes needed rewashing. The kayaks were a fun bonus, though they were quite worn and losing buoyancy.Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely rent here again. It’s a lovely spot with a lot of potential

The house is older, but I thought it added character and didn't bother us at all. The game room in the back was a nice surprise and the kids lived it! Would definitely stay here again!

Celibrated our 50th Wedfing Anniversary

We loved your home. Thank you! We had a wonderful time with our children and grand children and great grand children. We did some swimming, kayaking, game playing, grilling and cooking.
