The view on this property was beautiful!
The house fit all the guest.
The backyard was amazing!
We enjoyed the fire pit as well as sitting on the little beach after enjoying the water!
A perfect get away place!!
Will definitely be renting again!!

Family time at the river was so fun. Plenty of room for our family of 18. We had a blast. Thank you.

18 of stayed for three nights. Three folks had mobility challenges. So all three were able to have their own bedrooms on the main floor, where we all tended to gather. There was plenty of space for the rest of us to spread out, cook, play outside, roast marshmallows, rent a kayak, play games, tell stories, etc. What a lovely, comfortable place! And Darius was always very responsive to any questions we had. I definitely recommend this place.

We had an AWSOME time at your house! The river was so much fun! Only one Shared bathroom was a challenge for those 4 bedrooms on the river level. Community area was great! Beds were comfortable! Guest house was great too! If we come back to this area again, we will definitely stay here again!

The accommodations are perfect for a large group. We had several people who ranged in age from 20’s to 70’s and everyone had a blast!! This was a milestone birthday celebration and there was plenty to do for all. The property manager was very friendly and quickly responded to any and all communications. We did have to bring a charcoal bbq grill for our cookout because the rental only has a propane flat-top griddle but this is mentioned in the rental details so it was no surprise. Also mentioned is the fact that many of the bedrooms are walk throughs. This means that people will have to pass through a bedroom to get to the restroom or to another room. Not an issue as long as you don’t lock the door. We will definitely plan another trip here because we had such a great time!!!

Lots of room and access to the water

River was low so no fish to catch but beautiful area.
4.8
We enjoyed our stay. We found the house to be clean and just like it was represented. The house is arranged for maximum occupancy but, not necessarily maximum convenience. Kitchen and living room areas are nice, the deck and outdoor areas are very nice. We had 27 people and we felt like we used every single available bed. We did not have anyone sleeping on any couches.
4.8
This house was perfect for our family that came from different states. We had a wedding rehearsal dinner here and the kitchen, family room were fantastic and the outdoors deck provided a beautiful view of the river. We even had a fire to enjoy in the fire pit. The owners were responsive right away and great to work with. Thank you to Carlos for all your help. We will be back again.
4.8
The accommodations were plenty for all of our needs. The kids had a great time! The adults had a comfortable bed to get a good nights rest.
4.8
Great layout for large family like ours. Nice big kitchen/living room/deck for all to get together, but when someone wanted privacy, there were plenty of separate rooms for that. Weather cooperated to allow lots of fun in the large back yard/river area.
4.8
We had a fantastic time at The River Haven. There was plenty of room for everyone and the beds were comfortable. Sitting by the river was so relaxing. We especially loved the sound of the waterfall and watching the ducks swim by with their little duckling family. It was such a sweet time; a great venue for memory-making and family FUN!
4.8
Amazing in all means but little expensive..
4.8
We booked for a Corporate retreat and it was perfect. Great location, great space and enough rooms for everyone. The lay out is a little weird but we designated the pass through rooms as “dead zones” and kept them as quiet spaces and no one slept there.
Great spot!
4.8
Very nice, quiet location. The house and guest house are great. Deck is very nice. Plenty of seating for everyone. Kitchen had plenty of room for our meal preparations. Check out was the easiest of any property I've stayed out.
We had 14 people, 11 bedrooms needed. Bathroom access is a bit of a maze, but it works. Thank you for a great stay!
4.8
By far the BEST place we have stayed. It definitely felt like home!! The view was amazing! Although it rained… the scenery and location was PERFECT!! It brought our love for family a lot closer and stronger together!!
THANK YOU RIVER HAVEN!!
4.8
The house met our needs as a place for our family to gather and we had a great time. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware, ext. The houses accommodated our family of 22 well with enough beds and bathrooms. We were able to wade in the river, had a big deck to gather on and room to get some space when needed. Although we never got around to using it, the fire ring is a nice feature as well. The downside: this house is not in the hill country. It is actually in a kind of scruffy spot directly across the road from an industrial facility. The layout of the two buildings were oddly configured with some windowless rooms and several bedrooms that were pass throughs for others to access bathrooms. There is at least one inaccuracy regarding the bedroom accommodations (i.e.: no futon where there was supposed to be one). And some maintenance is needed throughout: sliding glass door is barely moveable, a clogged drain, a broken door that my brothers fixed… Additionally, there are a few hospitality related policies- like only providing 1 roll of toilet paper per bathroom- that were inconvenient and kind of stingy.
In the end, the property worked out fine but I wouldn't stay again.
4.8
Home was big enough for everyone. Great location. Very much enjoyed.
4.8
The property was great for a small family wedding reception! Beautiful views, well stocked home, and room for all the family members to have their own bed. We will certainly book again for family get togethers!

We had 21 in our group and this was the best location ever! There were plenty of rooms and bathrooms, which was our first concern. But we realized the kitchen in the main house upstairs and the kitchenettes in the downstairs of the main house and the guest house, were great. The main kitchen was well stocked with the pots and pans, kitchen utensils and appliances needed to accommodate all of us. In addition, there were plenty of trash bags (and we required a lot), dish soap, laundry soap, etc. Having 3 refrigerators was helpful when we loaded in the groceries the first day. There were plenty of towels and washrags (not supplied in all rentals). There was a nice washer and dryer provided (which is helpful with large groups such as ours). The river level was low, which was excellent. The kids were able to play safely in the water. We had planned several outings but everyone said they would have been happy just to stay at River Haven the entire time. The fire pit (although hot in mid-July evenings) was perfect for s'mores. The yard was perfect for games. And the water was perfect for getting cooled off. We were very pleased with this accommodation and so will you be if you choose River Haven.

This house is perfect for large groups of 18+ people! The layout is a little awkward, but helps it never feel too crowded or noisy. Having three fridges was great for a group of our size. The backyard and river access is incredible. There was plenty of water in the river to sit in, swim, or explore the waterfall that's just behind the house. We hung out in the river behind the house one day, then took a party bus into town to rent tubes and float the river the next day.
4.8
We had our closest family and friends together for the weekend to celebrate my daughter's wedding. The River Haven was perfect and well equipped for our group. Everyone had a memorable weekend. The hosts are really awesome with all the details and the app is handy and filled with area and vendor info.
4.8
Great location for a small team building event! Everyone had a room and a bathroom which worked out perfectly! It was a great location with the river behind the house and great wind down time after visiting work sites! The owners were great to work with and the place was clean! And I loved using the griddle on the back porch to whip up breakfast! Overall great experience and great place!

We had my daughter’s wedding at the property and it could not have been more perfect. The home and surroundings are just beautiful. The house was so clean and decorated beautifully with everything we needed. It was a magical 3 day..

Our group of 32 fit nicely, the lake is beautiful . The scenery is beautiful. It’s not luxury but it is nice.
4.8
This property is definitely unique! We had quite large group for our stay - but yet there was more than enough room and places to sleep. The backyard and fire pit was amazing. Our church group was asking to come back!
4.8
The property was as it was advertised. Carlos was very helpful and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend for anyone with a large group.
4.8
We had 28 people and had plenty of room! The river is definitely low but it is still beautiful to look at and we even had some people do a “polar plunge”! Each bed had ample pillows, bathrooms stocked with plenty of towels and the hosts even provide throw blankets to cozy up with! The kitchen is stocked with anything and everything you could possibly need. And 4 coffee pots!
The fire pit area was our favorite place to hang out while the kids explored. We will be back! The host is super responsive and friendly and we had ZERO issues or complaints!

About 20 of us booked this for a long weekend for a bachelor party. The property was perfect for it. Tons of beds and everything you need for a great weekend. I also had a couple questions throughout my stay and the hosts were so nice and quick to respond!

This place is perfect, we have a great time and come back every 6 months. We love it!

House was as advertised. The property was great and plenty of space for everyone. The fire pit was top notch and everything we needed was supplied. Would love to rent this property again.
4.8
One of the best we’ve leased out for a company team building event. Spacious and luckily we didn’t have neighboring groups to enjoy the solace that the beautiful clean river has to offer.
4.8
The home is definitely spacious and has the amount of beds and rooms as advertised. It took us some getting used to to figure the home out...the layout is quirky, but it holds a lot of rooms! It is an older home, so just be prepared for that. But everything worked... it had exceptional hot water and most of the TV's worked. It may be a little more difficult for older people because all the TV's used streaming to get to the channels, but with a little help you can get everything working. The kitchen had everything that we needed. There was enough towels, but we did have to get more TP, and paper towels (which is explained prior to check in). We didn't get a chance to get in the water or do anything with it because of the time of year it was, but I'm sure it would be great in the summer.
4.8
We had a wonderful stay, we loved the location with the river in our backyard, overall a great place to stay!
4.8
Our family began oozing out of Texas some years ago. This annual family reunion helps guarantee that Texas gets them all back at least once a year. The property was well maintained and the river is a glorious backdrop. We loved our week here
4.8
Great place for large family gatherings!
Looking forward to visiting again in the summer ☺️
