Thanksgiving trip

Pretty location on the river. Too cold to utilize all the river toys but looked like it would be fun during the summer. House was sufficient for our needs, new appliances and HVAC that worked well. Kitchen was well stocked. Needs some light maintenance and a thorough cleaning, though.

Nice quiet place on the Guadalupe River

We stayed for a weekend of fun and a Turnpike Troubadours concert at Whitewater Amphitheater (not quite walking distance, but very close). This listing was nice and dog friendly. We made hamburgers on the gas grill. Check out the nearby pizza restaurant, which was excellent. The riverfront is very pretty. Thanks for a great weekend.

The house and location are amazing and we would definitely rent this place again. The extras like a garage and boats and floats really made this place a no brainer. The river had almost zero current due to the Exceptional Drought they have been experiencing in the area. However I enjoyed not having to be picked up or dropped off up or down stream. We actually just floated out in front of the home and soaked up the sun for hours and then right on to the deck that’s in the water and sat there for even longer under the beautiful trees. Amazingly enough, due to its close proximity below the dam, the water was plenty deep to swim in. I was quite surprised by the water depth here. Our only regret was that we didn’t have longer to stay there. You really need at least 4-5 days minimum to unwind especially if you are coming in from a long ways away as we did. We would definitely rent this place again. The house is laid out nicely and just about everything you need to make yourself at home is there for you to cook etc. We’ve already made plans to go back next year and to be honest anytime of the year would work as a vacation spot here. Deer are everywhere in the neighborhood and that also was special to all in the group!

Property is nice, sleeps 8 comfortably and a few things had issues but they should correct them all soon. Just needs to be maintained more often. Refrigerator needs replaced or fixed, spent a day without ac and ceiling fan didn’t work in one of the bedrooms. Light is out in of the bathrooms as well. They should compensate us since we had to be without ac for a day

Nice property

We have traveled to Canyon Lake for three summers and we were sad to see the water level drop so much. It seemed like the Guadalupe River is a bit murky this year. The house was just as it was described. Quiet location with lots of deer running around. The water was so cold!!

Beautiful Property

The photos don’t do the river view justice. The backyard/river is absolutely gorgeous. My husband and our 2 kids (10 & 12) rented it for a lazy riverside week and we all had a great time. The kids paddle boarded, we all canoed, and we rented a pontoon boat on the lake. The backyard was full of wildlife and the kids loved the fireflies that lit up at night. Definitely worth it!

Best Stay in the Area!

This was our third time staying at this house. It is absolutely perfect. AND we are going back two more times this year. It is exactly as the pictures show. Whether just 2 people or all 6, it's hands down the best house we've ever stayed in for the river. It is directly on the river with very easy access. A gently sloped hill leads down to a nice deck with ladder access to the water. It's above the horseshoe so it's not as crowded as the rest of the river. Less than a 5 mile drive to White Water/The Horseshoe. Clean, spacious, pet friendly, well stocked, and GREAT location!! And the neighbor is super sweet, so be nice to her! This is our place from here on out. You won't regret staying here!!

Wonderful place to spend Thanksgiving!

We were looking for a last minute getaway for Thanksgiving break. My teenage son had knee surgery a few weeks ago, which cut his football season short and left us with unexpected free time. We made some great memories and enjoyed spending time in nature. The house is very clean, well equipped and the street is very quiet. My son could get up and down the hill to the dock on crutches to sit and fish, and my other two active kids had plenty to do as well. We took turns riding in the canoe, kayak and paddle board and fished from the dock too. We toasted s’mores by the campfire and played card games at night. It was a huge bonus that our dogs could join us! From swimming to sniffing around to playing ball nonstop, I think they had the most fun of everyone in the family! I’m so glad they were with us! Other people have mentioned Granny D’s - DEFINITELY put that on your to do list! You won’t be disappointed!

Perfect River Stay

We stayed here twice this summer. It's perfect! What you see in the pictures is what you get! The house is clean, comfortable, well stocked and spacious. River access is very easy and clean!! If you've tried finding places directly on the water, you know it can be a challenge getting down there sometimes. This is a steady, manageable slope, with a nice dock over the water. This part of the river is very quiet and beautiful with very little float traffic. The neighborhood is nicely kept and the few neighbors we saw were very friendly. The host is quick to respond and easy to communicate with. 5 minutes from the horseshoe tubing places and Whitewater Ampitheater. Maybe a 15 minute drive to Gruene. This will definitely be our go to place in the future.
