Spring Break with Daughter

This house on the river was the perfect place to relax and enjoy time with our daughter during her spring break from Texas State. Fun activities available but also great place to kick back and read a book.

Perfect Guadalupe River Getaway

This was the perfect place for our family of 6. The house was cozy, and the beds were comfortable. The decks were awesome, with plenty of watercraft to enjoy the river. The house was well stocked, and the beds were comfortable.

Canyon Lake vacay house

House was easily mapped and very cute outside, check in was easy and great. Cleanliness lacking as house was very musty smelling and ceiling fans caked with dust. Expired products in the kitchen cabinets. Nicely stocked with linens, towels and water equipment/toys. Neighbor has loose dogs (as advertised) and they are sort of threatening if outside so cannot walk the street for exercise. Not sure why the neighbor isn't reported and something done about that. Water flow was bad this time, not sure why and extremely cold (again, not sure why - so close to the dam?) Rocky flow waterfall pic misleading as we did not see this anywhere close to the house. House was pleasant, just needs better cleaning and treating for mustiness (maybe mold? as we did sneeze a lot - all of us). Also, instructions were given for internet wifi and house keys and neither were what was in directions so you might want to update those. Overall, pleasant experience. Very close to other attractions if not able to get in the water.

Lovely ambiance & fun atmosphere

We had our girls' getaway here this year and we were in awe of the beauty of this location. Even my nonadventurous friends loved the relaxing kayaking and paddleboarding on the cool, clear river. The house was well stocked, clean and comfortable. We could not get enough of the sunrise and sunset views on the deck. I would gladly book this rental again!

Even better than expected

The location on the river is fantastic. I spent most of our stay in the Adirondack chairs over the water, reading and listening to the birds. So many birds- cardinals, ducks, hummingbirds, even a blue heron. The living room had enough seating for the 5 of us, all the sofas and chairs being equally comfy. Appreciated the abundance of cozy blankets in the hall closet and great selection of board games. Kayaks, canoe, oars all in great shape. Was impressed by the water shoes available though we didn’t need them. Nice touches like the extra bottles of mouthwash, granola, plenty of tp and paper towels. The beds were extremely comfortable. My only complaint is that the renter at the house next door arrived a couple of days after us and sorta ruined the peace with his music on the deck. Luckily he shut it down after a few hours, and it’s no fault on this property owner. I was just kind of bummed bc I was thoroughly enjoying the peace and quiet until then. It would not stop me from recommending this house.

Fun family hangout

We stayed at the river house to have quality time with my sister and her family before they move to Europe. The home was cozy and we enjoyed the ease of river access. Kids and adults alike enjoyed the outdoor equipment and going up and down the river. There is a fun rope swing a few houses up where the kids spent most of their time. The house provides movie streaming which came in handy when it was rainy. Nature lovers will enjoy the plethora of birds, turtles, and interesting crawling things. Would definitely return.

Great location with everything you need

We stayed here with another family, and it was great! It's close enough to the horseshoe to be convenient, but there’s so many watersports that it's just as fun to stay in. We had kids from 7 to 10, and they all had a great time in the shallow water. The house had everything we needed for cooking, though bring any specialty spices you might want (salt and pepper were provided along with varying others). The grill was easy enough and worked well, as did the Keurig. Plenty of space for all 8 of us to eat and hang out. Highly recommend!

Perfect Riverfront Escape

What a great place to escape and relax! Everything was exactly as described except better- probably the best stocked rental we have ever had. There are so many on-site options for enjoyment (water toys, tree house deck, games, DVDs, river fowl to watch, etc). Very clean and beds were all comfortable. This portion of the river is right below the dam, so we didn’t have any of the rowdy river crowds.

Would Rent Again

The property location right on the river is outstanding. The neighborhood, not so much. The house and amenities were very nice. We were six friends some of which had not seen each other for over 15 years. It was so nice to sit on the many decks and visit and catch up and we plan to meet up again next year and will rent this property again....

Girls trip!

A few notes: The camo kayak needs to be retired - it has a visible crack in it on the top side, yet my daughter “tested” it out and thought it would be ok … it DEFINITELY WAS NOT. She got pretty far down the river with it before she realized it was taking on water .. then had a terrible battle-swim trying to get back with it. Could have been a dangerous situation with little kids or someone not as strong and determined as she was. The paddle boards were super fun! Thanks for providing those and a pump to use! Lighting on the decks was fabulous for night fishing The “tree house” deck was wonderful to enjoy our coffee together in the mornings :) thanks for the yummy coffee provided! I enjoyed the use of your fishing poles! Nice to not have to pack my own - yet had the basics to fish a little. You do have one pole - that “looks” great, yet the reel is actually broken at base and will not stay on the rod. It’s in the cabin in the rod stand. The remotes for the air unit on the porch and the living room tv need batteries - neither could be used at all until we temporarily robbed some of our own and used them. A few roaches - eewww - yet I’m sure that’s a constant “normal” battle with a river front property ?? Some of these things I figure you might not realize unless told ;) Again thank you so much for fixing the hot water issue as soon as you could - you saved us! Overall - Great place to stay! Thanks again!

Peaceful & therapeutic

The house is decorated like Grandma’s complete with antique cookie jars. This was the perfect setting for our family to celebrate our late mother’s 84th birthday. The kitchen had everything we needed. For recreation the house was fully stocked with paddle boards, kayaks, & noodles in which to enjoy the Barton Spring cold water. It felt wonderful once you got used to it. In 105’ weather, it’s the perfect place to be in Texas. Hope we can stay here again. The Taylor Family

Perfect Getaway

This was perfect for our family vacation. All the water toys that were provided were awesome and made it so easy to enjoy the water. My girls are 7 and the bunk beds were one of the high lights of their trip, along with the solo kayaks. We traveld up the river each day and played in the shoot that was not far from the house. This spot was peaceful and enjoyable. Highly recommend.

Family vacation

The property was great. Location was great. We enjoyed our stay very much. The only reason I gave it a four overall was because some of the "toys" listed were not usable or not there at all. It list tubes but none were found. The kayaks are in bad need of replacing. Handles broken making it hard to get them in and out of water. Seats also broken. Everything else was great. WE made good use of the canoe. Good communications with Angela and Bryan. House was clean and provided essentials. We would recommend it to others but we recommend not listing things unavailable or not usable. You go there expecting it and are disappointed when those items are missing or broken.
