This Lake House was perfectly set up. It’s fully equipped with everything you need for a weekend stay. I LOVE to cook and the kitchen has everything you need to cook or BBQ. All the beds were so comfortable we all slept great. Being able to just walk right down to the water and fish was simply Amazing. The game room was an added Bonus that we all enjoyed. It was a very cozy relaxing weekend. I will book this lake house again in the very near future.

Greatness On The Guadalupe

The beautiful home, back yard, and river deck helped this property turn a holiday weekend into an unforgettable experience. Any fan of the great outdoors would find themselves right at home around the beautiful landscape, as well as the refreshing river that begs you to jump in.

Everything was perfectly clean and the kitchen was stocked with pots, pans, silverware and utensils. The location on the river was perfect and beautiful. We fished and kayaked and really had the best time. We will be back!
