Texas State Graduation Getaway

We selected the perfect place to stay for our kiddo's graduation weekend. The short commute to Texas State from this fantastic river home enabled our group to enjoy graduation and related festivities in a manner not possible from a hotel. The home was easily accessible and accommodated our graduation party perfectly. We can't wait to get back there for an extended stay to enjoy the river activities.

Beautiful

The house was large and spacious and accommodated our family of 14 very well. It had a beautiful view of the Guadalupe River just below. We enjoyed our stay tremendously. A few casserole dishes could be added to what is in the kitchen, and possibly a few towels in the bathrooms. Overall we had a great stay.

River 2022 with friends

Was a great experience overall! Beautiful Home and amazing showers. Great location for the river. Only complaints is keep in mind where the sun sets this seemed to be the hottest house because of where the sun was and this house but easy access to river with plenty of shade down there! Didn’t know how to turn on patio door lights and didn’t think to bring to toilet paper. Over all would definitely revisit this house. Clay was amazing and a very quick responder

Bug house

The master bedroom is infested with bugs. We got bitten so badly that I had to go to the doctor to get antibiotics, histamine and ointment. My husband also got bitten. The dishwasher was so badly calcified my husband broke pieces of the element. The utensils were all dirty due to the calcified dishwasher. The tables outside and downstairs have not been cleaned in a long time. The BBQ grill downstairs were disgustingly dirty. And then the neighbors were so loud at night way past 11pm, we could not sleep. This place is no good for a family- if you are there to party and having a bachelorette or something then maybe. I wish VRBO allowed to post photos of how I look like.. The owner did offer to move us to a different unit but we had so much stuff to move just for two nights was not worth it. We slept in the other bedroom. It was supposed to be a good and fun trip to celebrate my husbands 50th and did not expect to go home with multiple bites. I also asked for how he would make it right and have not heard anything from him at all. What a disappointing weekend it was.

Great family trip!!

We had a great trip to the river and enjoyed our stay here! We did have a couple issues when we got there about gate/room codes but the owner was very prompt at helping us get in!! The unit was perfect for our family group of 9!!! We had plenty of room for everyone!! The only complaint that I had was that there were some pretty rowdy neighbors in the other units, which could obviously not be controlled! I addressed this to the owner so that he was aware and he immediately responded to me! The owner was very prompt at responding to a couple other minor things that I addressed as well!! We would definitely recommend this property!!
