Awesome location for a weekend away from the city but with all the amenities close by if needed. River was a little underwhelming but that’s expected with the current drought but other than that the property is awesome!

Beautiful house and property!

Our family stayed here while in Kerrville for a Celebration of Life since it was close to the location of that event. We had 2 houses a couple hundred yards from each other so we didn't really use the kitchen much since we gathered at the other house more with all the family. However, this property was great for the younger kids in our family. They enjoyed the bocce ball on the lawn the outdoor space to play. My youngest grandson who is 2 especially enjoyed all the toys in the closet under the staircase. The property manager was very prompt with assisting us when we couldn't get the front door code to work. We recommend this location!

Lifelong Memories Made Here!

This home and property are wonderful! We stayed here to celebrate my husbands 50th with our 5 best couple friends. The house and game room are amazing and had everything we needed for a fun and relaxing weekend away. From the Friday night bonfire down by the river to the cornhole tournament all day Saturday followed up by watching college football in the game room, our trip was packed with lots of laughter and fun memories that will last forever.

Great place for family fun

House was great. The only complaint I had was that the owner did not give us our code to access the property until day 2 which was kinda of a big deal. On the bright side, she more than made up for it by offering extra amenities and life happens to us all so I would certainly recommend this place to everyone!

Feels Like Home

We stayed at the Guadalup-Hey River House for the weekend and LOVED it! We liked everything about the house from the amenities to the view of the river. This retreat is clean, well-maintained, and close to all of the activities we planned for the weekend. Customer service was awesome! Very friendly and quick to respond if we had a question. I would definitely recommend this retreat and will stay again.

Highly recommended

This is one sweet house. The rooms are big, so no bumping into each other. The kitchen is super nice, very homey and well-equipped. It was a bit too cool on our trip for a bonfire by the river, but the river is beautiful, lots of wildlife and a perfect spot for swimming. The house has a terrific fireplace in the almost-too-comfortable living room. And the mattresses on the beds are excellent. Kim is super helpful and responsive...a great owner.

Perfect Family Vacation

This is our 2nd time at GuadalupeHey (the first since the addition of the pool). We love this place so much! It's perfect for our family of 11. The river was low and murky this time so the pool was a life saver for hot kiddos! The play area with the turf is one of the best parts too. It gave the kids a place to play outside without getting stickers and bug bites. There are several swim holes close by if you are wanting to get in the river. We added the rental of the game room. It was a great place for us big kids to hang out and play after the little ones were in bed. Kim is a great host and responds quickly. I highly recommend staying at GuadalupeHey, you won't regret it!

Great location

We had a great stay at this river house. The main living space was a great size for our family (4 adults and 4 kids). The toy space under the stairs was a huge hit with our 2 and 5 year old! The house was cleaned well and the kitchen was well stocked. The only issue in the kitchen was there no pantry space. If you plan on cooking, just know the dry goods will be sitting out on the limited countertop or stacked on the washing machine in the laundry room. The beds upstairs were not the best unfortunately, but the sheets and blankets were cozy and soft. The house overall was really great and we spent most all of our time on the back porch watching all of the deer stroll by. There was a great breeze on the porch the whole time we were there. Even with the drought this summer, the river was deep enough and was nice and cool!

Wonderful escape

Beautiful home right on a quiet, hidden section of the Guadalupe!!! While the home is wonderfully large, my wife and I could find no other place that was so perfectly spot-on and immaculate. Very elegant, as well- the photos don’t do it justice. We were blessed with incredible weather so we enjoyed our wine on a sunny day sitting right on the river. A small rapid up river was mesmerizing to hear. We did a fire at their river-edge pit and took in a gorgeous sunset and the stars. Master bedroom downstairs we used was spacious and the bed was super comfortable. While we didn’t really cook outside the microwav, the kitchen was stocked to the hilt with utensils, etc. the appliances were high quality. Water pressure was wonderful too btw. Location was hidden on a street between the river and Junction Hwy we never noticed. Street is also lined with beautiful homes. This is a place we’d return to with family. WiFi was strong/great, stable bandwidth. One of the best all-around VRBO properties we’ve enjoyed. Most importantly, our Host was a superb communicator before, during and after. She set a high bar that other VRBO hosts need to emulate, especially since we booked for Christmas- she still responded. Was never any problems- just questions on usage of something or other. This property is a must if you’re looking for a wonderful retreat!!!

Great relaxing home

Overall, we had a wonderful time. PLUSES 1. 2 1/2 Bathrooms well stocked with toilet paper and towels 2. Beautiful home with great decor throughout. 3. Sleeping space for two children on upper bunks and 10 adults other beds. 4. Plenty of dishware 5. Pool and hot tub were very clean, well maintained and a pleasure to use. 6. An abundance of outdoor seating in front and back 7. Lots of books and games Minuses 1. Access instructions were given only 30 minutes before check in time and after my request for them. I expected to receive them at least 24 hours ahead of time. 2. King size bed was way too soft and sinks in the middle-should be replaced. One adult literally had to sleep on one of the bunks in the master. 3. The middle upstairs queen bed is also in need of replacement. It is not supportive. 4. I would strongly recommend a second deadbolt lock that can only be locked from the inside for your guests security. 5. Televisions in bedrooms, all seem to be more trouble to operate than they are worth. They are old and outdated and some do not have remotes and require a page full of instructions. 6. Not a single piece of silverware,was available. 7. Large water stain on second floor hallway. 8. Numerous kitchen items worn and need to be replaced, (potholders, pots and pans cleaning sponge, and scrubber). 9. Incorrect instructions refer to lifejackets in the pantry.

This property was the perfect place for our moms/sons retreat. The boys loved the upper level turf - great for corn hole tournaments!
