It is a wonderful place to stay while on the Guadalupe River. This was our third stay, and plan to come back next summer.

House was perfect for the family reunion we attended right across the street. Plenary of space and great view of the river.

Nice place across from the river

House is in decent condition, good location and it was nice having the large outdoor seating area to listen to the river. One of the neighbors who live there was very friendly, but there’s another in the back that isn’t very welcoming shown by the number of rude signs in front of their house. We only had two rolls of toilet paper in each bathroom so suggest bringing some with you. Limited number of garbage bags as well and no cleaner to wipe off stove or countertops after cooking. Overall good stay just a few small issues.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the home’s location and especially the outdoor seating area by the river—it's one of our favorite features too. We’re also happy to know you had a good overall stay. As for the neighboring signage, we understand that may have felt unwelcoming and we’re sorry it impacted your experience in any way. Thankfully, most of our guests find the community quiet and relaxing, and we’re glad you had at least one friendly neighbor encounter! Thank you again for staying with us—we hope to host you again in the future!

Long on rules short on ammenties

The house had many rules. We had other family and friends staying in other places that we could not invite over because of the rules. The noise rule obviously does not apply to the neighbors or other renters the music was loud well past midnight The house accommodate my group well enough. Dining table was not big enough for the family to sit together to eat out of the heat. Kitchen supplies: Pots/ pans looked like they came from goodwill handles are all broken and bottom of pans are warped and did not cook even. Toaster only toasts one side Crockpot has no lid so that was not useable No serving bowls were provided with the dishes. Refrigerator: was turned down to the point it was off. It took 8 hrs for it to cool while my food is spoiling and melting. Did not look to be clean either I had to clean it Cleanliness of house: On the surface it appeared to be clean but the walls were dirty with hand prints and an actual shoe print on the ceiling in the bathroom. HORRIBLE ODOR. The odor did fade once the a/c was at a temp to cool the house it was over 80* in the house when arrived Deck on top was scary. It moved and shook when someone would walk or move on it. River access was worth the disappointment of the house! It was great!!

Property needs some updating/TLC. Bathroom doors stick making it difficult to use without making a lot of noise. Both main bedroom beds squeak/creek making it impossible to move at all without waking a sleeping partner. Dishwasher worked poorly. Outside decks need some wood repair and painting/staining. Grass was very high and the picnic table across the street by the river was unusable because its condition.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. This is an older river home with the character and finishes that come with its age, and we make every effort to represent the property accurately through the listing photos and description. We have not received similar concerns from other guests regarding the riverside picnic table, but we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. The lawn is maintained on a regular schedule, though summer growth can occur quickly between services. While this property may not have been the best fit for your expectations, we appreciate your stay and feedback.

Cabin on the chute is a great location!

Cabin on the Chute is a great location with an easy walk across the street to access the river. We spent hours of enjoyment floating the chutes. The listing says limited to no WiFi and really it should just say No WiFi. The password left for us to use did not work either. With that said it forced our kids to actually play games and talk to one another, so in the end it was a blessing, but if you are planning on trying to connect and work this is not the location for you! The other issue was the overwhelming bad odor when entering the property. It smelled like something was either dead in the walls or someone used the restroom and never flushed. With a ton of candles we were able to mask the smell. The fridge could use a little love. The shelves were broken on the door leaving very little space to put items. It saddens me that people can’t respect others property and take better care of things. I guess this is to be expected of a rental property. In all we had a wonderful time and loved the location.

Hi Kirsty, Thank you so much for your feedback! We do have a modem out at Cabin on the Chute, however on the listing we do not mark WiFi as an amenity as it's not guaranteed. We try to get a signal out there, sometimes with the weather however and being on River Road it does not show up! We will certainly contact maintenance regarding the fridge once we have a vacancy in the calendar! And the smell unfortunately is due to sulphur in the lines being on a septic system. We have had many plumbers out to the property that said it's perfectly safe and normal, and we try to get deodorizers and natural products out there as much as possible! Again we truly appreciate your feedback :)

We had a great time. We had so may rescheduled trips due to COVID. We enjoyed a needed getaway with family and friends. The only thing I wish I could have changed was to have better weather.

Wonderful Property

Wished we could have stayed longer. The owners and staff are caring, loving, and extremely helpful. There for you even when you don't know them. I couldn't have asked for more. They were there and responsive immediately when I had questions or concerns. This is a highly recommended stay for future vacation stays to anyone interested in staying here.

The cabin on the cute july 13-16

This place was amazing, it's very close to the water and the spot you walk to to get into the water was a nice spot to hang out. We floated from rocking R tubes and floated Just down stream of the house and got out. The house comfortably accommodated 12 people and had room to spare. We will definitely be revisiting.
