The house was nice, but needs some major updates. Starting with drainage. When showering or using the washer, the water comes into the island sink. The shower by main kitchen drains very slow. The refrigerator in the main kitchen is very old. The coffee pot took a long time to brew. The deck had old nails sticking up. The bed in up secondary room, needs a new one - not comfortable at all. For paying 3,000 for 3 nights, there should not have been these issues.

Big slope to river

The place was clean and the beds are comfortable. Furniture has some wear which you want to make sure you disclose to property management or you get charged. From the pictures, we didn’t realize there was a steep slope to the river. Not friendly for seniors. And all bathrooms are tub/showers and two are soaker jacuzzi tubs so they were deep. Also, not friendly for seniors. Otherwise, it was a good rental with lots of room for everyone. And we enjoyed the Foosball table in the playroom. Great rental for younger people.

Perfect for our big families

Such an easy check in process! This property was perfect for our big families to all stay together while having plenty of our own space. We were very nervous for our stay as we are very “picky”individuals but we 10/10 would recommend this property! Incredible views with easy access to swim in the Guadalupe river and big deck to sit near water! We enjoyed every bit of the water activities provided and surrounding! It was very convenient to float the comal river as well. Would definitely book again for our next trip!

Plenty of Room for a family gathering

Over all the home fit our needs for our family trip to the river. The ac in the home, mainly the upstairs was very uncomfortable trying to sleep at night. It did not get below 75* until after around midnight or so, still then it would only cool to 73*, 74*. Only (1) fan was provided for the (2) rooms upstairs. The AC vents down stairs leaked water/condensation the whole time we were there. The home is a much older home with an weird/old smell (very strong) in the stairway inside the home. There are also not outside fans.

Incredibly close to the city, and on the river too!

Loved the variety of spaces! Sprawling decks overlooking the river. Meandering common areas which accommodate the varied interests, and separate conversations, of a large group. The upstairs master bedroom is huge! Check-in was a cinch, as was check-out.

Great location on the river, convenient location

The house was very convenient to everything we visited. Shirt distance to Schlitterbahn, Comal river tubing, restaurants, and grocery stores. The house is old and needs some updating, but was clean. The air conditioner was set at 70 when we arrived, but read 78. The property manager sent an AC repairman fairly quickly and the problem was resolved, same with a clog in the drain of the upstairs bathroom. The house was roomy for 9 guests. Although we didn’t use them, the property provides kayaks, floats, and life jackets. There is ample parking.

Pros & Cons

The property has a fun rustic vibe in a great location, but requires a little maintenance and cleaning to be a truly outstanding. Upon our arrival we found the kitchen area wasn’t fully cleaned, with 2 dead cockroaches on the floor and the refrigerator was covered in grease and rust looking like it hadn’t been cleaned in years. It really should be replaced. The air conditioning for the second floor wasn’t able to properly cool. In order to be remotely comfortable when sleeping at night, my wife and I had to sleep without using the blanket or top sheet. Mind you, she’s one of those people who always feels cold, so as to give you some perspective. The rear deck area could also use some looking after. We found a few nails that weren’t flush with the deck boards that could easily cut someone’s foot if they barefoot. If these things were addressed, we would definitely stay here again.

The house was great! The property nice for the most part. Could use a grill. Several areas of upkeep are needed. With all that said it was an amazing time. The kids loved it. The family enjoyed the house 100 percent. The walk up and down the stairs lil rough on is older folks. I would definitely stay there again.

River Fun

The river is fun and really nice right at the house. The house is very spacious for a large family or group BUT if you want a cool air conditioned house, forget it! The back of house had a horrible window unit that doesn’t cook and the dude room has a window unit that doesn’t work. The upstairs took 3 days to cool down. It finally cooled off when we were leaving. The owners need to invest some of the rents into this house. The a/c vents drip on to the couch and the whole house smells musty and needs to be painted. Out of 3 TV’s, we could not get one to work. On the good side, it had lots of space and several refrigerators. Tons of nice decking and new stairs going down to river. We enjoyed the swings and tubes and kajaks. We did enjoy the house even with the problems.

It is a large house

To be fair, if you're looking for a house to host a large gathering, say 15 to 18 people, this could be your place. If you're looking for something really nice and in a nice area (where you can't see I-35 traffic from the deck), you probably need to keep looking. The pictures are extremely flattering when compared to "real life." River access from the house is down a very steep slope and actual water access from the doc area is not easy and requires climbing around large concrete blocks (unless the water level were say 4 or 5 feet higher). I had thought that given the pictures and the price, I was booking a very nice property. That's what I was looking for and willing to pay for. The house is serviceable but I should have dug into it a bit deeper. So, if you're looking for a place to hold a river gathering of 7 to 8 people (like I was) you can likely do a lot better for the price by looking elsewhere.
