Great location and a nice house. Everything was clean and just as described. Easy check in and check out. Owners were easy to deal with and responsive. We will be looking to go again in the future.
This was a great location with easy access to the river. House was roomy with everything we needed. The outdoor decks were great places to hang out and visit. Our host Dino was quick to respond to any questions.
This was our first trip as “the elders” with growing family. We had a wonderful time. We floated the river and for some in our party, it was a first. This is definitely going to be a wonderful memory we will share for years to come.
We enjoyed our stay. Very clean. Nice views. Enjoyed floating in front of house. Bring your own tubes to chill in the water at the house. Only word of advise, bring some trash bags as there were none. Other than that perfect weekend

Dino house
Great would do again. But all cushions were stained both chairs and the couch New couch was in boxes in garage. Wish they were set up in the house
Very clean, comfortable amenities. Remote in living room needs batteries. Shower pressure was a little much, took some getting used to. The shower drained a little slow in both restrooms but other than that it was a perfect place for our stay!
We enjoyed this house from the second we walked in! It was very clean and nicely decorated! Great view of the river from the bottom and upper deck with adequate seating outside! Easy access to the river! We enjoyed our days just hanging out at the house/river! Grocery store is close by! Gruene was an easy 20 minute drive! Beds were extra comfortable, we usually never sleep well in other vrbos but we slept great here! House had everything we needed! Owner was very responsive. We will definitely stay here again!
Beds were comfy which is a big deal for us. Generally clean accommodations. Looks like the property is getting some updates, but some things still need to be tossed to make the place feel up to date. Old bath towels, old cookware, cheap coffee maker, dated patio furniture, and a cluttered garage, didn’t match the updated bedding and some of the other updates they have done. Some conveniences like shampoo, conditioner, bath soap we’re not provided and would have been really nice to have on hand. The guest bath would not drain, leaving us to all share the master shower. Access to the water was great. Overall we enjoyed our stay, but if I have to truly rate it against 5 star properties we’ve stayed at, it was just ok.

Jenny - thank you for staying at our home. We appreciate the feedback. This is the first that someone mentioned dissatisfaction with our towels, cookware, coffee maker, etc. Sorry we did not meet your expectations. As instructions mentioned, we do not provide soap, etc and advised to bring your own preferences. This is the first we've heard from you regarding drain. As instructions mention, if there is anything wrong, please reach out and we would resolve ASAP. Again thanks for your feedback. We will address as we take pride in our home. Hope to see you again.

Great Location
Excellent location on the river. The home, while older, was great and served our needs.
My husband and I stayed here for just over a week during the fall of 2022. We loved the fenced in yard so we could let our dog out off-leash! The house had the essentials, nothing fancy, but met our needs just fine! If you are traveling to the area and bring a pet I would highly recommend this house!
Easy access to river with nice view from porch, overall good stay for 3 couples. Property could use some cleaning up and updating, but no issues that weren’t take care of by the owner.
We are extremely proud to offer our home for your enjoyment. We love this area of Texas and plan on retiring here one day away. We look forward to sharing our wonderful 'Casa ViaRio' with you and hope you enjoy!
Why they chose this property
When we think of the Hill Country in Comal County, we think of relaxing on the river, enjoying the hill country views and taking a break from the business of life. This home's location is perfect for letting our thoughts wander. You will enjoy everything the area provides - tubing, fishing, boating, hiking, shopping, golfing, hunting, exploring, music, restaurants, etc. and at the end of the day, you will have this wonderful property waiting for you. Location, location, location. We could enjoy cities like Austin or San Antonio (both about 1 hour away) or the quaint towns of Gruene, Wimberely, New Braunfels, Fredricksburg, etc. If you like shopping - the San Marcos outlets are also very close by.
Bottom line - the home can adapt to your needs - and that's why we love it.
