`Serenity On The San Gabriel` Pet-Friendly! Riverfront! Kayaks! Bikes!

`Serenity On The San Gabriel`- 4br/2.5ba riverfront house with a fully-equipped kitchen, two dining areas (plus a kids’ table), two living spaces and a laundry room. Enjoy luxurious linens, comfy beds, Smart TVs, salon-quality shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Outside are large oak trees, hammocks, dining table, multiple seating areas, a large playset, tree swing, and kayaks provided for playing in the San Gabriel river. Same-day bookings!

`Serenity On The San Gabriel`... Where peace and serenity meet a retreat for fun gatherings and endless adventure! This home is the perfect place to host you and your guests no matter the reason or season. Located on the San Gabriel River (yep, kayaks included!) the backyard is something to be envied and sure to be enjoyed... large oak trees, ample outdoor seating & dining, a large playset, tree swing, hammocks, and plenty of space to run around... pictures cannot capture its vastness or amazing detail and amenities! The outdoor space is simply incredible, but the inside won`t disappoint either! The kitchen is fully-equipped, the beds are comfortable, the towels are plush, and there is plenty of space to spread out yet still feel together.

Enjoy the provided kayaks, bicycles & scooters, board games, kids` books, outdoor playset, or relax on any of the provided outdoor furniture and enjoy the sounds of nature while sipping that coffee or sweet tea. The San Gabriel River Trail for great walking and biking is only 400 feet (1-minute walk) away as well!! Rain or shine, it`s guaranteed to be a good time! Georgetown is a historic town where you can capture that `small-town feeling` while still having access to great shops, larger restaurants with delicious food, and tons of festivals year-round!

The kitchen boasts a large island where everyone can gather and offers everything you need to whip up a great-tasting meal or bake some goodies! With items like a Keurig, coffee maker, crockpot, Vitamix Blender, KitchenAid stand mixer, toaster, cooking essentials, cookie sheets, baking pans, and more, you will have everything you need but the ingredients! There is also plenty of seating around the dining table, island, and the adorable kiddo table (the crayons and chalkboard are a huge hit, too!)

The primary bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, bedrooms 2,3, and the shared full-sized hall bathroom are located in a hallway with a pocket door you can easily shut for added privacy! Each bedroom offers comfortable beds, sound machines, and alarm clocks with USB ports for easily charging your devices. The primary bedroom boasts a king-sized bed, TV, a desk for remote working, and an ensuite bathroom with a large walk-in shower, double vanity, and walk-in closet. Bedroom 2 has another king-sized bed while bedroom 3 holds a queen-sized bed and a set of twin bunk beds! The full shared bath holds a combo tub/ shower, which makes it easy to bathe any kiddos on your trip! The 4th bedroom is located off of the kitchen (full bed) and has its own TV as well.

Perfection

This house was the perfect place for our stay. Perfectly appointed and updated, fantastic back deck with visits from numerous deer by the river, clean and comfortable. The location was great and allowed us to easily access the walking trail. Love this property! Thank you to everyone who made our stay an unforgettable experience.

Excellent!

We enjoyed our stay very much, and were able to enjoy Georgetown easily from this location. It was very nice to return to this home each evening and enjoy the wildlife along the river. Every morning the birds were singing and the deer are everywhere. Overall an excellent property, and well managed with great response from management.

Great backyard, interior ok

We loved the property and the backyard. We especially liked the easy access to the trails and kayaking. However, for the price, the furniture lacks tremendously. It’s so, so uncomfortable. The tv’s are small. We tried to use the bikes, but they were nowhere to be found. We reached and we’re told they would get back to us, however, no one ever relayed a response. I’d stay here again for a much lesser rate, given the quality of the interior main room furniture. Please note the beds are super comfortable, with the exception of the bedroom thats on the opposite end of all the other bedrooms.

Phenomenal Home! 10/10 is Spot On!

Our group of family and friends stayed during Spring Break. The home was exactly as pictured! It included all the little things to make a stay easy and homey. We rent homes frequently because we travel with our dogs and I can say we have never stayed anywhere so well appointed. Things like hand soap at every sink, nightlights in bathrooms, laundry and dishwasher detergent are all available and in plentiful supply. They had a Keurig and a coffee maker! We cooked nearly every meal at the house because our Southwestern U son stayed with us and wanted all his favorite foods. The kitchen has everything to make cooking easy. The only MINOR struggle we had was finding enough space for dry storage, but I’m willing to bet no one brings as much food to a rental home as we did.😂 The outdoor space is absolutely amazing! They even have a mosquito service to reduce the number of the little pests. Lots of wildlife and peace. A stove for fires and plenty of seating. Our teenage kids liked the ping pong table and dart board in the converted garage and a completely fenced in yard was perfect to let our dogs roam leash free. Honestly, I almost hesitate to list all the amazing things because I don’t want to struggle renting here again, because we will definitely will be back!

Such a great space for family to gather- loved the many bedrooms and TWO sitting areas. Kids loved the yard with slide and hammocks, as well as the many entertainment touches like books, toys, crayons, games. Kitchen was well supplied. Kayaking down the river from the backyard was a memorable experience! Managerial company is very communicative.

What a great 'home away from home'!

Serenity was perfect for our family gathering in town for a wedding. Had all the space we needed with 4 bedrooms and 2 living areas. The kitchen was plenty stocked with cook/serving ware. The backyard deck was enormous, and was great to hang out in the morning and evenings. We rode our bikes and walked the dogs each day on the San Gabriel Trail which was just a short distance from the home. Would definitely book again if in Georgetown!

We were very impressed with the house, better then the pictures for sure. we had 4 adults and 5 kids under 10 and we had room for more. We had family come over who live in town and everyone was impressed with the house. the view out the back was great and the deck was amazing to sit out in the morning and take in the views of wildlife, i didnt know there were so many birds in texas. we will be looking to stay here again on our next visit

Perfect place for all ages. We brought our kids and grandkids and everyone loved it !!! The home is spacious and warm with great beds and nice updated bathrooms and kitchen. The backyard and decks with river access were a highlight for the whole family. We kayaked , made s’more’s, the kids set up a coffee shop in the playhouse and we played games and made memories. Communication with the host was great and they were always fast to respond. We would highly recommend Serenity on the San Gabriel !

Family fun

We loved this place, only wished the river was a bit higher. Lots of games and books for kiddos of all ages. We were stuck with rainstorms one day and found plenty to do without turning to electronics. Great out of the way feel but still in the city and nice being right by the trail entrance. We took our 50lb dog and she was fine in the yard. Smaller may be able to get out under some of the gaps so just be aware. Host was great, super responsive, and even left eclipse glasses for us to use 😀
