Our stay was peaceful, relaxing, and incredibly fun! Our main goal for the trip was to tube the river, and this property was in the absolute perfect location for that. We used Summit Tubing, which was just a convenient 2-minute drive away.The outdoor setting here is by far the highlight. Starting the morning with coffee on the porch swing was the best way to kick off the day. Highly recommend!

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad to hear your stay was peaceful, relaxing, and fun. It's great that our location made it easy to enjoy your river tubing adventure and all that the area has to offer. We couldn't agree more about the outdoor setting, there's something special about starting the day with a cup of coffee on the porch swing and taking in the peaceful surroundings. Thank you for highlighting that experience for future guests. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another memorable getaway soon!
We were looking for a quite place to relax and unwind for a long weekend and this place was perfect. We sat out by the river and just enjoyed it all. The only that l could suggest is adding some handrails for the outside stairs, for us older people. We will coming back for more peace. Thank you, James & Sandy

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the cleanliness, comfort, and location of the house. It was a pleasure having you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!
This property is exactly what we expected. The pictures we're very accurate, the water was slow-moving and clean, and there's an underwater limestone ledge for shallow sitting just before a nice, deep plunge into the brisk Guadalupe. Perfect angle for sunset viewing, too!

The slow-moving, clear water and that natural limestone ledge really do make for the perfect spot to relax—or take a refreshing plunge! And yes, those sunsets over the Guadalupe are hard to beat.
We hope to welcome you back for another riverfront escape soon!
