Overall, it was a good stay. The beds were uncomfortable and low water pressure in the kitchen. The floor didn't seem to have been swept before we arrived. Great location and we will consider booking again

New favorite river house!

We go to the river every 4th of July, and since our usual house was booked, we were a little nervous about trying a new place. But the moment we walked in, all our worries disappeared. This home was perfect for our group! The family room and dining area were spacious and comfortable, ideal for gathering with a crowd. But the true standout was the yard—absolutely gorgeous—and the short walk to the river was peaceful and scenic. It rained the entire weekend, but honestly, we didn't mind one bit. We spent our days playing games and relaxing on the beautiful back deck. It was the perfect place to be “stuck” in. A couple of small notes: we couldn't get the living room TV to work, despite trying everything. Normally not a big deal, but we were hoping to catch the news. Also, the kitchen could use a few more large serving bowls to better accommodate a group. Other than that—no complaints! We've officially found our new “regular” river house. Can't wait to come back!

Nice house with awesome views

Nice house with awesome views. Direct access to river next to bridge at the beginning of the horseshoe. Able to get rides back to house via Shanty Rides. Simple and easy check in A+++. Mattresses need to be replaced due to squeaking and worn out. Need more pillow cases and new pillows. Needs more towels. Needs more basic silverware (knives, spoons, forks). Floor was dirty and had not been mopped. If these things were done, I would have given it 5 stars.

The refrigerator wasn't working. We informed rental company and they responded quickly but we had to keep our groceries in a cooler with ice for the whole trip. Most of the air vents in the house had mold. It is a good location but the river bottom has a lot of weeds that could have been cleaned up before arrival and the motel guests next door set up tents in the river right behind our house where the walk down is. Luckily, our family had rented the house next door so we were able to move dairy products to their fridge and set up in the river there.

Road noise

We stayed at this location for 4 nights. The home is lovely, open, spacious and clean. The property is nice, and we love being close to the Guadalupe, but the home is very close to 306, and the road noise was annoying. A couple other things we didn't care for we uncomfortable beds. Mattress toppers would be very helpful. The kitchen is nice, but the cookware is in very rough shape. The frying pans, in particular, made cooking frustrating. Lastly, the water pressure is very low, and there was no hot water in the kitchen. We tried adjusting the valves under the sink but could not get hot water to run. If these minor things could be addressed, I would recommend it to others, but for the cost of the stay, we had higher expectations of comfort.

mixed feelings

The positives are that the rooms and house itself was sizable and relatively comfortable for groups of up to 8. The kitchen and baths were clean. The view of the river from the deck was very nice. Although there is a hotel next door we never heard any noise or saw more than a few people there (a lot of highway noise though, all day). Nice that there was a laundry room. The negatives are that there were only 3 hand towels in the whole house. Prepare to share! And the mattresses sag in the middle, especially the twin beds. Finally, the large fry pan is warped, and the surface is flaking off. Definitely does not work on the solid surface stovetop. When I asked for more towels (one per person at least) the management company said thanks for the suggestion, so they respond quickly but not the answer you want.

This house has a great location and access to the river. The host was responsive and helpful. I am taking a star off because the amenities in the house were basic. There were not enough towels for 8 people, not a lot of utensils in the kitchen, there was mold around the AC ventsand the AC couldnt keep up and there were missing sheets for some of the beds.
