River Getaway

We had a wonderful stay! The location was great and it was only a short drive to restaurants and Gruene. We spent a day in Gruene Tx enjoying all the shops, the fabulous food at the Grustmill Restaurant and listening to live music at Gruene Hall. The house was very clean and perfect for the four of us. We enjoyed playing cornhole in the backyard facing the beautiful river. I would definitely stay here again. John was a great host and quickly responded to any questions we had. size for the four of us. I loveand

Nice Swimming Area

The property was great, fun swimming and fully equipped kitchen. Nearby places for groceries. We enjoyed the 4th of July boat parade and fireworks at night, fantastic view. The downside was the noise from construction near property. Also, the twin bed room, curtains and bed liner, need to be dusted, my allergies kicked in, but being outside in River made up for it. Thanks!

I chose this location because it was right on the water and we had a race in New Braunfels. The house was perfect, gorgeous view from the water, all the amenities, and access directly to the water. Additionally the owner John was very responsive to all of my questions and made sure we were taken care of. The only problem I had was the one night where a boat dropped anchor near the house and was blaring its music from 1-2am. It was disrupting but eventually the party goers left. This incident might be isolated and does not reflect on the owner or the stay. I only mention this so you go in knowing what may happen. The owner is such a wonderful person and I don’t want anything to reflect poorly on him. I still recommend this rental and enjoyed my overall stay.

Great view and location

You can’t beat the view from the dock! Plenty of blankets and towels for everyone. Especially appreciated the extra thoughtfulness of the fishing poles and kcups/coffee available especially since we weren’t able to hit the grocery store beforehand. Sure you have to drive some to find stores and restaurants but I’d rather drive 10 minutes for that and stay where it’s quiet and peaceful! Definitely recommend

Serene and comfortable……

Of all the places I have stayed in past winters this is one of my favorites. A quiet neighborhood on the river, comfortable furnishings with a wonderful view of the river and the activities on it. I was there 3 months and had everything I needed to make my stay enjoyable. The lack of laundry facilities was a drawback but service by the owner doing bedding once a month was a plus and I found a laundromat a short distance away. Consideration and attention to any of my needs or questions were answered with a smile and a question returned to me asking if i needed anything. A special place to spend time and a special landlord.

Great, Quiet weekend getaway

Wife and I just spent our 18th anniversary here and loved it. The location is near a dam so boat traffic is next to nothing. Birds were everywhere and the location was amazing. The A/C works a little too well, and the onsite radio was fantastic. We kept it on low all weekend and it was background noise which was nice. The neighbors are very nice and easy to talk with. The boat dock is great with the chairs. We sat there for hours enjoying ourselves. We were looking for a location that was waterfront and had a hot tub, and even tho the listing says there is one there, there is no hot tub. That is the only negative that we had. The owners gave us advanced notice and gave the option to cancel, but we still wanted to go. Not sure why the listing still shows a hot tub tho when they know there isn't one there. We can see us going there with another family for all our kids to go swimming and stuff as there is a set of stairs to walk in / out, and a ladder to climb out with. But not for April when it might be nice, or freezing, or both in the same day :D
