Didn't Want to Leave

This place is a true get away! The house is just as expected, right on the river and the deck is AMAZING! Looking at other houses close by, it truly has the BEST deck to drink your coffee in the morning on to playing games in the evening. We will be back!

Very well equipped house

House is in a beautiful setting on the river. Magnificent decks overlooking the yard and river; kayak was a plus. Small, rustic house but comfortable and very well equipped. Very comfortable beds and bedding (we're picky). Super clean and well maintained. Had no problems whatsoever but hosts were very communicative and at the ready in the event of questions.

Location, location, location!!

Want to beat the heat, ride the river or just sit and hear the rapids? This house was perfect under huge pecan trees, well shaded, near everything and sit on that huge deck to see the river flow and hear the rapids just a short distance away. (Bring your hammock) Walking distance to tubing company too if you even wanted to leave. Truly beat the 100 heat with the breezes and view! I’d go back tomorrow!! Catering available too. Super easy vacation!
