About this property

Hunt Vacation House - a Family Getaway with Guadalupe River Park in Hunt, Texas

Hunt Vacation House is a beautiful family sized home with easy Guadalupe River access, a two minute walk to our gated community river park. This is the perfect place to enjoy the beauty and serenity of the Texas Hill Country. We’re ten minutes west of Hunt along one of the prettiest stretches of country road in Texas – convenient to both summer camps and off-season activities.

The house is high enough on the hill to have tree top views of the Guadalupe River Valley and it's just a short hike down the trail (it's a bit of a goat trail, but the river is 600 feet from the front door) and across Highway 39 to our Marymeade community river park with kayaks, paddleboards, a floating dock, barbecue and picnic tables. The river is about 3 feet deep in front of our dock and shallower on either side for little kiddos to wade in or to put in kayaks. There is lots of privacy around the house with room for kiddos to play when you're cooling off inside.

The house will sleep nine including children: There is a queen bed and newly renovated bathroom with rain shower in the primary. The upstairs bedroom has its own balcony and private (also newly renovated) bathroom with shower. The middle two bedrooms have a trundle bed (2 singles - great for kids), a single and double bed and share a beautiful new bath with laundry room.

The dining area seats eight – six at the table and two at the breakfast bar, it's a little tight for that many, but we mostly eat outside on the picnic table anyway. The family room has a high beam ceiling and a glass-paned door with sidelights to enjoy the view and let the breeze in. If you can’t leave your technology at home there is wireless internet and satellite TV. The house has every amenity needed for a comfortable stay (oven, fridge, dishwasher, fresh linens, etc). Just bring some groceries, a bathing suit and free time to enjoy it! Internet is fast fiber optic if you need to work remotely.

Outside we have two spacious decks with Hill Country views. Drink your morning coffee on the side deck and watch the sunrise. Enjoy an evening glass of wine while star gazing on the front deck. We saw the space station last night! There is a hammock, a porch swing, and outside eating area with gas grill. There is a herd of axis deer that visits us most mornings. Guests often see deer or fox passing through the yard or on the ranch property next to us. Yesterday it was a flock of wild turkeys.

Come stay with us and enjoy a bit of Hill Country peace and quiet with Guadalupe River access!

Dogs considered individually: We understand that pets are a part of the family. At the same time, we have to keep in mind that guests with allergies cannot tolerate any trace of a pet in the house. Dogs will be allowed on prior approval only with a pet charge of $50. No cats. Pet fees will be due via an additional payment request if you use the Instant Booking option.

We just got a wifi extender so wifi is good on the deck and outdoors. Verizon & ATT cell service is good at the house, but there is no cell service at the river park or on the road from Hunt. No guarantee though, this is the country.
Thanks y'all,
Michelle & Danny
Hunt Vacation House Family

Great Hunt house

We stayed here before picking up kids from camp and it was super convenient and perfect. Very clean and comfortable. Loved being able to walk down to the river and spend the day floating. Michelle was super easy to get in touch with and we loved our stay!

Birthday vacation

beautiful house, it was a steep down hill walk to the water but once you get everything down there its a beautiful quiet area. The towels where still wet in the dryer, and the coffee maker still had coffee and filter from the people before. Might need ro put no trespassing signs on the entryway we had several people come threw the property trying ro get down the water. All together it was a nice stay.

Great place!

Spent 4 nights with my family and my brother's family. We all had a great time. The house was nice, clean, and private. The kids and the adults all had a great time! Great beds, restrooms, and air conditioning! We were looking for a private spot close to the water and the house met our expectations. Just a short walk to the river. Thank you!

Lovely house!

We really enjoyed our stay here. Nice large property with plenty of room to hang out outside. Short walk to the river, if you can brave the goat trail; otherwise, a short car trip to the private park across the street. AC worked great! Plenty of room inside and a plus is that it has 3 full baths. Thank you for a great time.

Hill Country Happiness

This property was perfect for our family getaway. The listing information is accurate and the owner (Michelle) was great to work with. Overall, we couldn't have enjoyed ourselves more. The "Goat Trail" steps to the river park are steep. Not impossible, but steep. Driving to the river park is a breeze.

Large house with a large deck. House came with a lot of extra nice things (which a lot of rentals don’t come with) which made our vacation even that much better. Great for our family vacation. Michelle was amazing.

Hill country getaway

My family and in laws from out of town really enjoyed this hill country house. We loved the layout of the house and lots of deck space outside. Plus the huge seating area where the fire pit is. The river was less than a 5 minute little hike down which I liked because I got to incorporate some exercise going down and up the hill. Plus the kayaks the owner had available which gave me a great upper body workout. The kids loved the river and liked that it wasn't to deep and enjoyed the floating deck. We would definitely go there again for a getaway. Thank you Michelle.

Great house and great location!

Once we hit Ingram the roads and views of the river were beautiful. The drive to the house was relatively easy to find! Especially since we drove in in some pretty nasty heavy rain and winds! The house was as great as the description. The owners were amazing! The house was very well equipped! Plenty of room for the 4 adults and 4 kids! We really loved sitting on the deck anytime of the day. And the walk down to the lake was nice! The private lake front area was great not to many people and the water was great!! Definitely would stay here again!!!

Weekend Getaway

Our stay over the weekend was a really great experience. The owners were helpful and made the renting process run very smoothly. The cabin is very spacious and accommodating— includes things like blankets, games, towels, etc. The River is not too far of a walk and the outdoor trail to get there and back is a good way to get your exercise in. Overall, we were very pleased with our experience and we would recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a great getaway weekend.

True hill country stay

Home was clean and well stocked. Fully stocked kitchen, lots of towels, larger upscale washer and dryer. But best part was the outside patio and grilling area. Super spacious with lots of shade and no neighbors close by gave a real hill country feeling. Home amenities advertised accurately but a shower in master and larger bed in upstairs suite would go a long way. Aside from that our stay was relaxing and most enjoyable. PS first night was quite cold so we followed instructions on lighting the gas fireplace. It made for an intimate and warm setting. Overall a great home and recommend to anyone looking for a hill country experience.

About the host

Hosted by Michelle

Host profile image
Danny grew up in Del Rio and San Antonio and has family in and around Kerrville. He introduced Michelle to Texas Hill Country in Hunt. The area is a great reminder of Michelle's ranching roots in western South Dakota. We both fell in love with the Guadalupe River and it's beautiful cypress tree canopy on one of Michelle's first visits to Hill Country.

We live full time in Greenbank, Washington and plan to spend more time each year at our home in Hunt.

Why they chose this property

We love the Hunt area and the Guadalupe River! We stayed at many vacation rentals in the area before we decided we want to retire here. The accessibility of the river park without the riverside price was what drew us to this particular house. It feels so private - other riverside rentals we stayed in have neighbors right next door or multiple rentals on-site. Even though we're in a subdivision - it feels like we're out in the country. The previous owner's western decor made it feel homey right away and - did we mention - the Guadalupe River is just down the trail?

What makes this property unique

One of the things we most look forward to when staying at our Hunt vacation house is family gatherings on the huge deck. After all the years of living away and counting on someone else to hold a get together when we visit - we finally get to host them! Another favorite & practically nightly activity is star gazing on the front porch with a glass of wine. There is so little light interference out here that the stars are amazingly bright!
