We had a wonderful stay! The house was beautiful, clean, and right on the river. The host was great to communicate with and made everything easy. Our kids especially loved kayaking and spending time on the river. We brought our own Polaris to get down to the river, but it wasn't far, and access was easy. We would definitely stay here again!

Our family of five plus mother in law really loved this house! The river was the big highlight - the kids loved the little water fall, finding fish, and tubing from the crossing to the house, also fantastic to have a deep area to swim! We also loved having the pool as a closer spot to cool off, and also the bocce ball and cornhole. The house was great with plenty of space and beds for everyone to sleep. The living space was huge, so perfect for a large group! The kitchen was extremely well stocked with many extras that aren’t always available in a house (crockpot, big bowls, plenty of silverware, etc). Highly recommend this house - I’ve been telling many other families about it! I would really love to come back with either more family members or some friends!

I booked this property at the last minute to extend time with family who live in Kerrville. We were in Ingram to celebrate a birthday. Everyone, and I mean everyone loved the property. We did not have enough time together to really take advantage of all it offers, but we are all agreed that we will be staying here next year.The bedrooms and baths are well-thought out and work well for our extended family. The dining room table and the games table in the living area are well-suited for family meals, games and an ongoing jigsaw puzzle.This was by far the most well-stocked kitchen we have seen. We look forward to more days to take advantage of it next year.The pool is not super large, but we all loved the depth of it. We easily had room for 4 adults on our floats and for our 8yr. old mermaid. The view of the river and the countryside beyond are guaranteed to lower your blood pressure and to have you draw in deep, contented breaths. We are looking forward to next year.

Lifelong Memories Made Here!

This home and property are wonderful! We stayed here to celebrate my husbands 50th with our 5 best couple friends. The house and game room are amazing and had everything we needed for a fun and relaxing weekend away. From the Friday night bonfire down by the river to the cornhole tournament all day Saturday followed up by watching college football in the game room, our trip was packed with lots of laughter and fun memories that will last forever.

Feels Like Home

We stayed at the Guadalup-Hey River House for the weekend and LOVED it! We liked everything about the house from the amenities to the view of the river. This retreat is clean, well-maintained, and close to all of the activities we planned for the weekend. Customer service was awesome! Very friendly and quick to respond if we had a question. I would definitely recommend this retreat and will stay again.

Great place for family fun

House was great. The only complaint I had was that the owner did not give us our code to access the property until day 2 which was kinda of a big deal. On the bright side, she more than made up for it by offering extra amenities and life happens to us all so I would certainly recommend this place to everyone!

Highly recommended

This is one sweet house. The rooms are big, so no bumping into each other. The kitchen is super nice, very homey and well-equipped. It was a bit too cool on our trip for a bonfire by the river, but the river is beautiful, lots of wildlife and a perfect spot for swimming. The house has a terrific fireplace in the almost-too-comfortable living room. And the mattresses on the beds are excellent. Kim is super helpful and responsive...a great owner.

Beautiful house and property!

Our family stayed here while in Kerrville for a Celebration of Life since it was close to the location of that event. We had 2 houses a couple hundred yards from each other so we didn't really use the kitchen much since we gathered at the other house more with all the family. However, this property was great for the younger kids in our family. They enjoyed the bocce ball on the lawn the outdoor space to play. My youngest grandson who is 2 especially enjoyed all the toys in the closet under the staircase. The property manager was very prompt with assisting us when we couldn't get the front door code to work. We recommend this location!

Perfect Family Vacation

This is our 2nd time at GuadalupeHey (the first since the addition of the pool). We love this place so much! It's perfect for our family of 11. The river was low and murky this time so the pool was a life saver for hot kiddos! The play area with the turf is one of the best parts too. It gave the kids a place to play outside without getting stickers and bug bites. There are several swim holes close by if you are wanting to get in the river. We added the rental of the game room. It was a great place for us big kids to hang out and play after the little ones were in bed. Kim is a great host and responds quickly. I highly recommend staying at GuadalupeHey, you won't regret it!

Annual Family Vacation

This was our annual family trip with our children and grandchildren. The pool was perfect for the young and old! We used it the entire trip. We enjoyed the river… it was shallow and clear…the littles played and swam while the guys fished. We brought a golf cart, which was great since it was uneven terrain and high grass to the river. The astroturf yard play area was perfect for the kiddos to play on. The house was fully stocked for all of our meals. We loved the large dining table for everyone to eat at together. We loved not having to bring our own towels and sheets. One concern was the master bedroom mattress was uncomfortable and sunk to the middle, but didn’t hinder our trip. It might have been nice to have cleaned up the area by the pool where there was grass and some stickers, but again… it didn’t stop us from having a great time.

Great location

We had a great stay at this river house. The main living space was a great size for our family (4 adults and 4 kids). The toy space under the stairs was a huge hit with our 2 and 5 year old! The house was cleaned well and the kitchen was well stocked. The only issue in the kitchen was there no pantry space. If you plan on cooking, just know the dry goods will be sitting out on the limited countertop or stacked on the washing machine in the laundry room. The beds upstairs were not the best unfortunately, but the sheets and blankets were cozy and soft. The house overall was really great and we spent most all of our time on the back porch watching all of the deer stroll by. There was a great breeze on the porch the whole time we were there. Even with the drought this summer, the river was deep enough and was nice and cool!

Thank you for your feedback! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. The pantry has 3 shelves and a mini fridge for all your drinks. There is an extra area to the left of the stove to store all your dry goods. The deer and the river are always amazing. Hope to see you back soon!

Wonderful escape

Beautiful home right on a quiet, hidden section of the Guadalupe!!! While the home is wonderfully large, my wife and I could find no other place that was so perfectly spot-on and immaculate. Very elegant, as well- the photos don’t do it justice. We were blessed with incredible weather so we enjoyed our wine on a sunny day sitting right on the river. A small rapid up river was mesmerizing to hear. We did a fire at their river-edge pit and took in a gorgeous sunset and the stars. Master bedroom downstairs we used was spacious and the bed was super comfortable. While we didn’t really cook outside the microwav, the kitchen was stocked to the hilt with utensils, etc. the appliances were high quality. Water pressure was wonderful too btw. Location was hidden on a street between the river and Junction Hwy we never noticed. Street is also lined with beautiful homes. This is a place we’d return to with family. WiFi was strong/great, stable bandwidth. One of the best all-around VRBO properties we’ve enjoyed. Most importantly, our Host was a superb communicator before, during and after. She set a high bar that other VRBO hosts need to emulate, especially since we booked for Christmas- she still responded. Was never any problems- just questions on usage of something or other. This property is a must if you’re looking for a wonderful retreat!!!

Great relaxing home

Overall, we had a wonderful time. PLUSES 1. 2 1/2 Bathrooms well stocked with toilet paper and towels 2. Beautiful home with great decor throughout. 3. Sleeping space for two children on upper bunks and 10 adults other beds. 4. Plenty of dishware 5. Pool and hot tub were very clean, well maintained and a pleasure to use. 6. An abundance of outdoor seating in front and back 7. Lots of books and games Minuses 1. Access instructions were given only 30 minutes before check in time and after my request for them. I expected to receive them at least 24 hours ahead of time. 2. King size bed was way too soft and sinks in the middle-should be replaced. One adult literally had to sleep on one of the bunks in the master. 3. The middle upstairs queen bed is also in need of replacement. It is not supportive. 4. I would strongly recommend a second deadbolt lock that can only be locked from the inside for your guests security. 5. Televisions in bedrooms, all seem to be more trouble to operate than they are worth. They are old and outdated and some do not have remotes and require a page full of instructions. 6. Not a single piece of silverware,was available. 7. Large water stain on second floor hallway. 8. Numerous kitchen items worn and need to be replaced, (potholders, pots and pans cleaning sponge, and scrubber). 9. Incorrect instructions refer to lifejackets in the pantry.
