Wonderful House on the river

We booked this for a family trip. My mother, brother, husband, and two adult kids. This house was beautiful and had everything we could ask for. My mother didn't want to leave :-) The property was amazing, and we loved all the decks overlooking the river. The house has been very well cared for and you can tell the owners love it. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were great and the living room and kitchen were great hang out places for our family. I would highly recommend this property.

Fantastic Rental

This is where we had our family vacation July 10-14. It was perfect for a large group up to 13 ppl. It is situated in a perfect location directly on the Guadalupe river. There is the main house that provides numerous outdoors patios and verandas. It is fully stocked in all areas. All you need to do is bring your food and beverages The hosts are awesome! They provide you with numerous tubes, two kayaks, fishing poles, 🎣 lifejackets and noodles to swim right off of the floating dock. Their cottage right next-door was really cool and also offered an outdoor veranda. That’s where my husband and I stayed. They provide everything you need for coffee, including coffee, creamers etc., all the spices, and all paper goods and make it very easy for the guests. I would highly recommend renting this unique place! 1 mile from Gruene Hall Thank you Chris and Johanna for your hospitality. We made some fun memories! ❤️

Boat dock needs to have ramp or stairs due to location. Needs ladder also. Boats leak. Needs replaced. Home was great. Better access to the river would be my suggestion.

Perfect house

This house was definitely the perfect place for my family and my friends family to stay. Access to the river from the house. They had Jerry’s River Outfitters pick us up and bring us back directly to the house. Made things so easy! This house was the most well equipped home we have ever stayed in. Paper products and all. Can’t wait to go back!!!

Great Long Weekend!

We booked for our son's 30th birthday. House has everything you need and then some. Most stocked VRBO I've ever stayed in. No running back and forth to the store needing kitchen/bathroom items. Great sheets, comfy beds. Only tip would be if anyone in your group has mobility issues, this rental would be hard to navigate. Lots of stairs, up hill, down hill, etc. Thank you!

Great place on the Guadalupe River

2 houses together in Gruene on the Guadalupe River with nice dock. 5 minute drive to Gruene Hall. Kayaking was fun from the dock. Caught tons of fish. Made s’mores by fireplace. Both houses were clean & well stocked. Walk to river from back of house is a little sleep so be careful. We had 3 families stay there comfortably for 3 days. Very friendly deer come up to the house to feed. We plan on coming back & staying there next year for sure!
