Highly recommend! This is my new favorite place. It is clean, safe, relaxing with amazing rooms, great amenities, and on the Guadalupe river. Great clubhouse with a bar, space to chill that overlooks the pool. I love the hip. The partnership with Paddle Texas makes it super convenient to float the Guadalupe and Comal Rivers. It is a great place for families, friends, and events.
