The house was clean and enjoyable. The host was welcoming and communicative. We enjoyed the amenities including movies and games. There were loud trains that passed by several times at night, but the hosts can't control that. We've rarely seen ahouse so well-supplied in terms of kitchen items, towels, etc - much appreciated! Overall, the house was as advertised, and we enjoyed our stay.

House in Brownsville

View was great. We got in without any issues. The owner wanted us to confirm that we arrived and settled in but we couldn’t because the app was not working during the time we were there. We were able to communicate by telephone adequately. We were surprised by additional added fees and other charges that were added on after we committed to stay there. Ultimately the house was MORE expensive than larger newer houses that other relatives stayed at on the river

Girl's weekend

We really enjoyed our stay! The house was beautiful with a great view of the river. Great choice of bed layout with a full and a single in all bedrooms. So if you are sharing a room, you don't necessarily need to share a bed. We would definitely recommend!!

Group of Fisherman

Great stay in Brownsville with a group of friends coming into town for a fishing tournament. House was clean and well stocked with everything needed. 3 trucks / bass boats fit without issue and a short drive to the ramps used on the river. Check in was smooth and we were walked through everything we needed to know. Would stay here again should events bring us back to the area.

Thank you for the enjoyable stay. The home had everything we needed and more. Dawn was very personable, nice touch to be there at check-in to show us around the place!

Home away from home

We highly recommend a visit to this property. The view from the deck is fantastic and it provided all of the things that we needed on our stay. This was our sixth vacation home rental and it provided more amenities for the guests than have experienced so far. Brownsville is an awesome little town. Had an absolute ball at Saxons pizza with our waitress, Dawn. Boat ramp at wildcat campground was very close and an easy launch for our boat. 11 family members fit just fine in this home. The owners went above and beyond our expectations. Loved it and will return in the future! Jerry & Lori Rowland

Our group loved the house. It was very nice would definitely like to come back. The view alone from the deck is reason enough to come back. It had everything you need to have a enjoyable weekend plenty of room even with 10 guys like we had. We felt very comfortable like I said we would love to come back and enjoy it again.
