Birthday getaway

This was our 2nd time staying at one of the Rio Escondido houses and once again, we had a wonderful time! Absolutely loved the house and private entry into the Nueces River. Special thanks to Nathan for promptly fixing the WiFi connection and making sure we were ok when we briefly lost power from a storm. THANKS Nathan and Rio Escondido!

Great family weekend

Cabins were clean and comfortably rustic. The amazing well-kept grounds provided decks for early morning coffee, nice areas for grilling, and easy access to the river. Nathan went above and beyond to take care of us. We will be back.

Great stay!

The house was clean and the property was great! The river access was amazing and perfectly semi-private. Made friends with the neighbors! The property manager was very nice and stopped by a few times to check to see if we needed anything and to take out trash. Will definitely recommend to friends and will satay in the future!

We had an amazing time!

We came with our family and friends and no one had a complaint. The dragonfly is where we stayed and it was perfect (I saw other reviews complaining the house was to hot but it wasnt, it stayed cool the entire time). I understand all the compliments in other reviews about Nathan the property manager, he treated us like we knew him and he was so sweet and helpful checking in daily. I was fishing and caught a cat fish and the house keepers were on the deck of the tree house cheering me on LOL they even came down to the water and chatted with us one day when they were cleaning next door. We had friends rent one of the cabins up the hill on the same property and we all cooked out together daily and used the dragon fly river access. The water was beautiful and clear with so many fish. Our cabin had all the pots and pans we needed for every meal, we started a fire in the pit nightly and never ran out of cut wood, there was plenty of towels blankets ect. All you need is food and family at this location. Our hope is to bring enough family and friends next year to rent out the whole place or at least half of it.

Awesome place to stay!

Very cool place to stay! River is only a few steps away, with easy access. House has everything you need inside with what i though were comfortable mattresses and for it being 100 plus degrees outside the window units did a good job at keeping it cool inside when it was time for a break from the heat and river. Outside it had plenty of room for kids to play and run around, firepit and BBQ pit are in good shape, house also has plenty of lighting outside if needed. Already planning our next trip here.

Awesome stay

We really enjoyed the stay. The place was very well maintained and had no issues. It was nice being so close to the river and having easy access to it. Plenty of shade from all the trees as well. We loved it and are definitely coming back! Owner communicated with us to ensure we had what we needed to check-in. Nathan was great as well.

Great for Family

Great overall experience! We rented the house for a family vacation and it was perfect for our number. The house is roomy and the outdoor area adds extra space. I would say there were three opportunities: the house needs a deep cleaning. The ceiling fan in the living room has about an inch of dust on it and my 1-year-old niece found popcorn on the ground the first day and put it in her mouth (we didn't have popcorn). Please get some curtains for the windows. The cheap blinds do nothing, and it's so bright in the house at night, that it's hard to fall asleep. The sun shines right into the house in the morning and you're up by 7am because it's so bright in the house. Lastly, the 2 window units for AC are not enough for the house. It's 100 degrees this summer, and it is so hot at night it's uncomfortable to sleep! We brought 2 box fans with us, thank goodness, but it still was HOT. We did have a great stay and would return, these are just a few opportunities we had while there. Nathan, the property manager, is absolutely amazing and took great care of us!

Great spot on the Nueces

Grounds are awesome, with lots of outdoor space to enjoy. Easy direct access to the River just behind the house, with option to be in shallow area, or swim in deeper area. Even with low flow, this spot held water quite well, and apart from a few stagnant spots, seemed pretty good. A little more attention could be paid to the cleanliness of bathroom/shower, but overall the place was clean and comfortable. Would stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Tina Willis

Hello! We are the Willis Family, David, Tina, Vada, and Devere. We absolutely love Montell, Texas, and the surrounding area. We spend a lot of time on the Nueces River, swimming and Kayaking.

Why they chose this property

Since it is situated on the bank of the crystal clear Nueces River with a backdrop of Texas hills, the sunrises are outstanding, while stargazing is amazing!

What makes this property unique

This property is in a rural area in Uvalde County and it sits on the banks of the beautiful Nueces River. This is a quiet area, with a lot of wildlife and few vacationers, so it is the perfect getaway from it all! The lovely view of the river with the hills in the background is a wonderful sight for morning sunrises with a hot cup of coffee.
