The River House was an amazing house near the river, it had plenty of space for my family to be comfortable, the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. Loved the wrap around porch it was so peaceful sitting outside. Caleb was a great host, responded quickly to any questions I had. We stayed with my son, his wife and our grandchildren and had an amazing time.

Thanksgiving in Arkansas this year

The house in Lavaca was ideal for our family Thanksgiving also in Lavaca. The grounds bordering the Arkansas River are lovely. We were able to enjoy walks on the property. The house is spacious and nice. We would stay again when traveling to Lavaca.

Great Find!

This property was fantastic. The house was all you would want it to be and watching the sunsets over the River while enjoying the fire pit was incredible. Caleb was very responsive.
