The property was just as advertised! Everyone enjoyed the spaciousness and quietness of the condo, as well as the decor. By far, the natural beauty of the sloping backyard that worked its way down to the river was the greatest highlight. We watched the squirrels, birds, ducks and geese in their natural habitat. I highly recommend this place for families who are wanting to relax and enjoy nature at its finest!

A couple of friends and i stayed here for a girls trip in the middle of the week. The condo had great access to the river just down the hill. Everything was clean and instructions were perfect. We had a great time.

We're delighted you had a wonderful experience enjoying the serene atmosphere of the back porch overlooking the Guadalupe River and the beautiful carved rocks. We would love to host you guys again!
We loved our stay. But would like to recommend adding hangers to the closets. We packed tightly & were disappointed when we unpacked that there were no hangers in the closets. Also, there was a very annoying constant beep coming from the “work” closet outside the condo to the left. You could hear it through the walls at night in the master bedroom!! Made sleep very challenging!!

Thank you so much for your feedback — we’re really glad to hear you enjoyed your stay! We appreciate you pointing out the missing hangers; that’s a very helpful suggestion. We'll reach out to the owner about adding some to the closets for future guests.
We’re also sorry to hear about the beeping noise near the master bedroom. That definitely shouldn’t have disrupted your rest, and we’ll look into it right away to get it resolved.
Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience. We hope to host you again soon!
This property was exactly as shown in the photos. It was clean, very comfortable and quiet. We needed a peaceful place to stay for a six night getaway and loved every minute of our time there. The back view was amazing and we felt very much at home there.
