Beautifully situated amongst mature trees on the shores of Lake McQueeney, this lakefront home will lend a sense of airy luxury to your next Hill Country getaway. On this half-acre property, you'll enjoy a private dock (with two kayaks to take out on the water), an incredible deck with both sun and shade, an outdoor shower, and a private hot tub to cap your daily activities.
This waterfront home was seemingly designed for entertaining, with the open, main living space on the second floor highlighted by a wall of windows and French doors framing Guadalupe River/Lake McQueeney out back. The kitchen is well-suited as a hub of activity, offering a Thermador gas range, double ovens, a built-in refrigerator, a wine fridge, a separate ice maker, custom cabinetry, and Palisandro countertops. Adjoining this space are a grand dining room table, a living room with a wood-burning fireplace and a large TV, and doors that lead outside to the two-level deck. You can also cook up something delicious on the private gas grill.
Entertainment abounds here, whether you're fishing or kayaking from the dock, lounging on the concrete sundeck, or soaking in the hot tub on the ground-floor patio. There's also a gas grill for afternoon barbecues in the backyard and a game room that encompasses much of the first floor, featuring cedar walls, a hoop-shoot game, a chess table, a wet bar, another fireplace, and a pair of sofas for lounging and watching TV.
The four bedrooms are all on the second floor, each offering its own TV. The primary suite has a walk-in closet and a spa-like bathroom with a jetted tub, a separate shower, and dual vanities. Central air-conditioning and a full laundry room are provided as well.
THINGS TO KNOW Two kayaks are available for guest use. Age-appropriate games are available for younger guests The Guadalupe Blanco River Authority will be making repairs to the Lake McQueeney Dam, which will affect water levels. Local Teams have been notified that these repairs could start in the Fall of 2024. No discounts will be given for affected water levels due to this construction. Due to the Hill Country location of our rentals, you may encounter situations with wildlife/pests. Please be aware of your surroundings, take caution while driving at night and supervise your children at all times while outdoors. In addition, all properties do utilize pest control maintenance on a regular basis, BUT this does not guarantee pests/bugs/critters will not be visible.
Parking notes: There is free parking available for 4 vehicles.

Fun and relaxing
Beautiful home. The code didn’t work for entry, but able to access with help rather quickly. The kitchen was a great space for all the meals we cooked. Enjoyed the downstairs game room. Everything very neat and clean. River level low and don’t expect improvement until late 2025 or early 2026. But did get out on the kayak and paddle board. Seemed to be missing an oar and paddle, but aside from that everything was perfect.

Weekend getaway
Wanted somewhere outside of busy San Antonio to relax but close enough to go to the spurs game, a concert and the river walk. Water levels were very low but we were warned before hand. House was exactly as pictured. The kids loved it. Would like to visit again during summer months. Only real complaint was the cleanliness of hot tub. You could tell it had stormed recently and the cover isn’t the right size so there was dirt and leaves in it possibly from strong winds. Also the masters jetted tub needs the jets cleaned out. When you turn them on black flakes came out of it.

Great for families
The house was a perfect size for a family get together. Plenty to do for all ages. Loved that the downstairs had plenty of activities and could be closed off from the upstairs for quiet at night. We cooked all meals at home and the Only downside was that there weren’t specific cooking utensils for the meals we made such as a mixer or whisk and available spices. Even though the river was low the fishing was great!

Great Place! But Needs Some Attention To Details!
We were 3 moms each traveling with our 16 year old sons - we have a list of KUDOS, CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISMS/SUGGESTIONS, and COMPLAINTS!
KUDOS: *extra beach towels for hot tub/river use were nice; *kitchen appliances were nice; *beds were comfy; *outdoor seating was nice; *kayaks, stand-up paddle boards & float pad were great; *showers were nice & spacious; *PLENTY of hot water; *the river views were fantastic; *LOVED the security locks placed up high on all doors; *house was very comfy for a large group; *the house 95% clean upon arrival; *washer and dryer!
COMPLAINTS: *bathroom description: description says 4 bathroom house. - it is not - it is a 3.5 bathroom house; *faucet in shower in downstairs bathroom was completely broken - there was no way to turn on the shower water, so this left us with 2 full bathrooms and 2 half bathrooms which was a little inconvenient when we were counting on 4 full bathrooms; *not nearly enough towels or washcloths in house; *not enough kitchen towels; *no stopper for the kitchen sink; *door handle on the right French doors on the main living area falls off (on the outside); *the pink bedroom bottom bunk had blood on the sheets!!!; * the Wi-Fi is TERRIBLE!! AWFUL!! BASICALLY NON-EXISTENT!! And we had to have many text exchanges to get the Wi-Fi password - and in reading reviews we were not the only people with this problem. And to further the matter, we could never even find the modem and/or router to perhaps try resetting it - this needs to be addressed!; *description said outdoor cameras would be capped . . . they were not.
CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISMS/SUGGESTIONS: *need working window coverings in the downstairs game room area for privacy; *1/2 bath toilet runs continuously; *carpets all need SERIOUS shampooing; *back porch area needs pressure washing, major window cleaning; *all patio cushions need to be cleaned thoroughly; *if there was an iron & ironing board we could not find it; *no check-out instructions; *you need a framed list of useful information: Wi-Fi password; numbers to call for emergency; check-in instructions, check-out instructions; list of nearby groceries, restaurants, etc. We all travel a lot and this is something that most places have readily available.

Property gets 5 stars, Vacasa gets 0
Property was clean and lovely. great location and good repair. Vacasa the property management company is terrible to deal with, and just will not communicate in any reasonable manner.
Will not rent another property managed by them.

Beautiful Location, Poorly Managed
The view is in incredible. The backyard was shaded with a play area. My kids loved fishing off the dock (we brought our own poles). I appreciated the safety locks making sure they couldn’t get out without an adult. Take a ton of bug spray because the mosquitoes inside and out are overwhelming. Take absolutely everything you need if you plan on cooking. No basics, not even foil. They don’t give the password Wi-Fi nor do they reply to emails requesting it. Door handles are falling off. None of the faucets work as labeled when it comes to hot and cold. There is no information binder at all. The furniture has a “ordered from Amazon” vibe so don’t count on resting on the couch in the living room. Beautiful? Yes. Will I be back? No. Will I make sure any listing I like on here is not Vacasa ever again? 1000 times yes.

Not a clean home and no communication
When we walked in the home, we found the kitchen, and just by glancing at it we could tell it wasn't clean. Not to mention dead moth on the stove. Another thing we noticed was the floors were not clean, dead bugs and dirt. We payed a Cleaning Fee, why did we find dead insects and dirt? ... Well we had no choice but to come in and clean the house after all we did rent the house for 3 days. The first morning there we decided to use the kitchen, we turned on the stove and apparently somehow someone left the stove connection lose so as we are cooking our breakfast the stove turns off, we thought the gas ran out, made a few calls, never got a real response or someone who cared. We figured out it wasn't the gas but a faulty cord connection, also had a few breakers shut off in the kitchen as not all the wall plug outlets worked. This home does have a lot of positives but the truth is it's not well managed. Theres is no communication from the property owner and management. In other words NOBODY WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU IF SOMETHING IS WRONG. It’s been 9 days since I’ve spoken to someone over the phone in regards to a partial refund… I have not heard nothing from the “property manager”.

Unfortunate timing by property owner
The owner had workmen there on the weekend, working on a lift for a jetski. They were there all afternoon and my friends and I (5 single ladies) did not feel comfortable relaxing in the back and enjoying the amenities that I paid for! The property manager promised a partial refund, which I have yet to see...it's been over a month. If we had known there would be workmen on site we would not have booked expecting an enjoyable time at the lakefront area.

Amazing House. Not Impressed With Management.
We loved this house for our annual family lake trip. It was beautiful and clean, had games and activities for little kids, included kayaks and paddle boards for exploring the water, had amazing views of the lake/river, and was so shaded that we didn't feel the extent of the Texas heat. There were also ice makers on both floors which were especially nice during checkout when we needing to load up our coolers.
The listing falsely advertised this house as a 4/4, but it's actually a 4/3.5, with one of the full bathrooms being downstairs where no bedrooms were.
We weren't impressed with the management of this property. It was my first time dealing with Vacasa but booking through Vrbo. I'd much rather be in contact with the homeowner directly; Vacasa removes that ability. Response time from Vacasa for questions submitted online took weeks where you usually hear back from a homeowner within a day or two. There were also some misses in the house and our check-in process. The check-in email left out the WiFi password, so I had to interrupt our vacation to call Vacasa and retrieve that information. There were no check-in, check-out instructions listed within the house so you can only rely on the emails from Vacasa. The house was missing a few necessities: salt and pepper and dishwashing detergent. Although, a massive container of coffee grounds were provided which we used. Finally, there were some maintenance issues: the left side of the gas stove didn't ignite, the master bath's stopper didn't stay in place to hold water in the bathtub, the toilet in the half bath would run and run after a flush, and all the exterior door handles were loose (some loose to the point where they'd fall off when you tried to open or close a door). We reported the gas stove malfunction to Vacasa right away as it was the first thing we noticed when trying to make our first supper. Vacasa told us someone would be coming first thing the next morning to fix it. We never heard from them again and noone ever showed up to fix it.
All in all, we loved the property itself and the location. We'd just rather not go through Vacasa as the management company again.
