Great river house

We had a wonderful stay at the river house. Our only complaint is our second day. It was so windy and chilly. We couldn't enjoy the river. The house was so clean beds were quite comfortable every sheet and blanket and pillow smelled amazing. The little house seemed to have everything we needed from pots pans utensils to books board games, and blankets! I would definitely recommend somebody who's thinking about booking to book.

Ideal spot

The location is the best we have stayed on the river so far. People do come to the public side of the river but the area is large enough to share.

Great Family River Getaway!

We had a great time and this wonderful property with our two young daughters. Good location on the river, we were there midweek so it was quiet and not too busy at all. The house was a perfect place to stay with everything we needed. We enjoyed it very much and hope to stay again!

Wonderful!!

We had an absolutely wonderful time at Whippoorwill Hill! house was perfect for us and the location was amazing. Our kids had the best time running down the hill and played in the river for hours and hours. 5 minutes for the loop, so fast to get to for a long float around the Guadalupe! Couldn’t ask for a better time, we will definitely be back next summer! Thank you!!

Wonderful Weekend

Perfect little house at a great location on the river. Spent the day floating in front and relaxing while the teens went to Schlitterbahn. House is clean and well equipped in the kitchen. Firepit was perfect for S'mores.

Perfect location for a perfect summer getaway

It's hard to find a house that can accommodate our family well and this one checked all the boxes. Well kept and clean and a fully stocked kitchen which is rare. We made lots of memories at Whippoorwill and we hope to come back again!! We absolutely loved the part of the Guadalupe in the backyard, rapids and shallow water to play in and some deep parts to swim. Best of everything!

Best River Getaway

Best place to take a family. We have 3 kids who enjoys spending the day on the River in our backyard. The water was shallow enough for the kids to swim which a bonus rapid for play. We also enjoyed making a campfire each night making s'mores. The house was cute and cozy. It was very private and relaxing. Will definitely returned next summer!

Loved it!

The house was so nice! We appreciated the modern comforts mixed with old charm. We had everything we needed and the property manager was quick to assist when we couldn't get the heater to come on. Beautiful river views and easy access made it the perfect spot for us. We caught trout everyday. Definitely recommend.

Right on the Guadalupe

Nice house, right on the river. Fully equipped kitchen. Very nice tub in the second bathroom. Enjoyed birdwatching, making s’mores by the fire, toobing and kayaking. Also was able to cook and even make a pie. Nicely stocked for games and puzzles too!

Amazing Weekend on the River!

We had an absolute blast at this home. The home was very clean and had all of the essentials (including shampoo, soap, coffee makers (drip and keurig), cooking utensils). The patio outdoors is incredible. We spent every day hanging out on the patio and on the river's edge. The location is great. Only 3 minutes away from the horseshoe to float and about 10-15 minutes from Gruene. We will definitely come back!

Great getaway!

Loved this house and location, right on the river! My kids (ages 5 to 8) loved playing in the river, I definitely recommend bringing water shoes. The river water was cold (50 degrees) so we weren't able to swim. Note - the guest bath only has a bathtub not a shower, and there are no hair dryers at this house.

Picturesque and great location

My family needed this. I always want to go to the mountains and they always want to go to the beach. This meets in the middle. River in the back. Just around the corner to the lake. Beautiful drives throughout the Hill Country. Loved it. The house was perfect with all the needed amenities and charm. We would die out on the back deck in the mornings and evenings. All my teenagers loved it. So it was a win-win, and it’s a short drive to New Braunfels if you need something, but there is also the Brookshire Brothers Market nearby. I think we will try to come down from the Texas Panhandle more regularly.

Great property!

Wonderful location and very comfortable house. We really enjoyed the location on the river and the easy river access. The back porch view is phenomenal. Good kitchen and very pretty bathrooms. Property management company was very helpful and responsive. AC takes awhile to cool bedrooms but it was REALLY hot outside when we stayed so totally understand. Construction going on next door but luckily they don't work all day everyday but when they do, it was pretty loud. Would recommend the property if you're looking for a comfortable place right on the river. We ran into multiple people that said this stretch of River is the best because it isn't crowded. We would agree!
