Great location for a quiet get-away. Very cool, rustic cabin on a dead end road, right on the river. Caught plenty of fish right off the dock...small top water on light tackle was the key. Great non-hotel option, close to San Marcos and the all that beautiful Texas Hill Country has to offer.

Business stay

Overall good stay. Could definitely use some dusting. House is haunted, doors randomly open/close and you can hear footsteps upstairs when no one is there.

Great place!

This is a great place to stay for large groups! Everyone loved the game room and river access. I will say I booked 5 bedrooms but was only allowed access to 4. For the money I was paying I was expecting to gain access to all of the bedrooms listed. Other than that the stay was great.

Thank you for your review! We’re so glad to hear that your group enjoyed the stay, especially the game room and river access — it’s always great to know when guests are able to make the most of those amenities. We do apologize for the confusion regarding the number of bedrooms. That’s certainly not the experience we want our guests to have, and we’ll be reviewing our listing and booking details to ensure expectations are clear and that all reserved spaces are properly accessible. Your feedback is very helpful, and we truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We’re happy to hear the overall stay was great, and we’d love the chance to host you again in the future!

Amazing Place

This place was so comfy and relaxing. Only thing I would suggest is that after it rained some, the ramp going to driveway was very slick from and I slipped pretty badly. Everything is good, but I would suggest putting some grip strips or something on it to prevent slips. Other than that the place was great.

We LOVED this house!

I hesitate to rave about our stay because I don’t want to share this secluded paradise. We had the absolute best time. The house and surrounding area look exactly like the pictures. We have 4 kids (16, 14, 12, 10) and between the game room, outside play space and access to the river, there was plenty to keep everyone busy and happy. The house was clean. The hosts were great communicators. We really could not have asked for more. Thank you for a great break for our family! We can't wait to come back :)
