We had a wonderful stay at the Rocky River Guest House. It had everything you could possibly need. We especially enjoyed our time on the back deck watching all the birds and animals that came by. Really enjoyed feeding the deer in the evening. We spent time motorcycling in the hill country. Plenty of room to park a trailer in the front yard. Would stay here again.

Deer Watching
Immaculately clean! Super easy check in. All the amenities you could ever need. Lots of places to poke around in town and yummy restaurants. But the real draw is the NATURE experience. Deer watching and feeding from your porch, walk along the river from the city park with gorgeous views, tricking waterfalls, and access to shallow wading from the back of the property. The owner called me on our first day to answer all of our questions and share wonderful advice about the town and nearby cities. For the next visitors, please give the porch kitty hugs from us. We enjoyed the daily visits. We were also visited by a herd of 40-ish axis deer in the meadow several times over the course of our stay.

Awesome stay
It was awesome place. Looking forward to staying there again. Seeing the deer was so cool and having them coming so close to the back patio was the best way to start your morning.

Amazing Little Getaway
At the end of quiet street in a good old-fashion country getaway. Quiet evenings enjoying the sunset and all the deer. Plenty of room inside and out for everyone. Will definitely be back.
