Nice place. Great to relax. Access to the river was through a nice safe set of stone steps. Not recommended for folks with small children. It’s everything the pictures show you’ll have a beautiful view of the river moderately easy access to the water

House was good, nothing special. Wish water looked more inviting, was looking pretty yuky. Didn't relize the deck was that far up from the water. All in all it was nice, the outside was really nice.

Relaxing and fun! Peaceful river. Fishing with the kids. Watching a crested bird alternate between fishing and sitting in its nest. Saw a muskrat on shore. Good times!

Property was great and just what we were looking for. An excellent trip, but a few extra amenities like coffee filters, etc. would go a long way (or communication that they’re not provided). Wifi also didnt work most of the time and don’t have cell service at the house. Overall no big complaints.

Shannon. Thanks for your great review and feedback. Apologies for running out of coffee filters. We will ensure we review consumable items more closely. We will also look into the Internet service. We may have had an outage in the area during your stay. All the best, Robert

About the host

Hosted by Robert Barrow

Host profile image
We purchased this property in 1994 as a place to use for friends and family. We have shared our house with many since 1994 and hope to keep doing so for years to come.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this house because it was right on the water and in the Texas Hill Country. We had visited the area several times and just happened to luck out finding the house for sale. The house is priced very competitively to similar properties making a great choice for accommodating 2 to 6 people.

What makes this property unique

The house is centrally located on the upper part of the river. This provides our quests with options for venturing out to other local establishments or attractions. The house sits in a quiet neighborhood about 4 miles from Canyon Lake. The river in this section runs deep and slow. This allows for swimming or just hanging out in a tube tied to our deck or one of the many cypress trees roots. The house is located about 5 minute walking distance from a river outfitter and makes it very easy to rent tubes or rafts without having to drive. We strive to keep a well maintained and clean house for our quests to enjoy.
