Ideal spot

The location is the best we have stayed on the river so far. People do come to the public side of the river but the area is large enough to share.

Great location

Beautiful property, the location and access to the river is one of the best I’ve stayed at yet and the patio and chair spots are so relaxing. You MUST sit in the two chairs on the hill under the trees!! Only comments I would say to take into consideration are that the hill to get up and down to the river is no small feat, and although there are two bathrooms, the only standard shower is in the master bedroom, the guest bath is a bath tub with a shower sprayer connected to it but it is not mounted so unless you’re taking a bath then you have to hold the sprayer (this was not ideal but we made it work), and lastly this is an older property, if you have allergies or are sensitive to dust then you may have a flare up, we used our own linens but my two year old still got extremely stuffy every night. These things in no way ruined our time, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! I would recommend this property to anyone looking to have a great time at the river!

Great river house

We had a wonderful stay at the river house. Our only complaint is our second day. It was so windy and chilly. We couldn't enjoy the river. The house was so clean beds were quite comfortable every sheet and blanket and pillow smelled amazing. The little house seemed to have everything we needed from pots pans utensils to books board games, and blankets! I would definitely recommend somebody who's thinking about booking to book.

Great Family River Getaway!

We had a great time and this wonderful property with our two young daughters. Good location on the river, we were there midweek so it was quiet and not too busy at all. The house was a perfect place to stay with everything we needed. We enjoyed it very much and hope to stay again!

Wonderful!!

We had an absolutely wonderful time at Whippoorwill Hill! house was perfect for us and the location was amazing. Our kids had the best time running down the hill and played in the river for hours and hours. 5 minutes for the loop, so fast to get to for a long float around the Guadalupe! Couldn’t ask for a better time, we will definitely be back next summer! Thank you!!

Wonderful Weekend

Perfect little house at a great location on the river. Spent the day floating in front and relaxing while the teens went to Schlitterbahn. House is clean and well equipped in the kitchen. Firepit was perfect for S'mores.

Perfect location for a perfect summer getaway

It's hard to find a house that can accommodate our family well and this one checked all the boxes. Well kept and clean and a fully stocked kitchen which is rare. We made lots of memories at Whippoorwill and we hope to come back again!! We absolutely loved the part of the Guadalupe in the backyard, rapids and shallow water to play in and some deep parts to swim. Best of everything!

Best River Getaway

Best place to take a family. We have 3 kids who enjoys spending the day on the River in our backyard. The water was shallow enough for the kids to swim which a bonus rapid for play. We also enjoyed making a campfire each night making s'mores. The house was cute and cozy. It was very private and relaxing. Will definitely returned next summer!
