INTERIOR OVERVIEW: Our property features a Main and Guest house which are bundled together when you book (Can NOT be rented separately) The Main House is 2 stories built on the side of a long gradual hill overlooking the large spacious yard. The main floor features a large fully stocked kitchen which is open to the Main Living Room and Dining areas that overlook the gorgeous panoramic view of the tree tops. The outside patio deck and gas grill are also located right off the main kitchen. The patio deck is equipped with two large umbrella tables with seating for 14. The Lower Level is ground to the large back yard and the large outdoor fire pit. It is complete with a small kitchenette and great views of the river as well. The Guest House directly next to the Main house has 4 additional bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and a small kitchenette along with it’s own concrete driveway. NOTICE: there are a handful of bedrooms that have to be passed through in order to exit the building/access a bathroom. All Doors are able to lock in order to create a flow of traffic of your choice for your groups convenience. See our floor plans in our photos for the layouts of the pass through areas. If you’d like a larger version of the floor plans please let us know and we’ll send you a copy no problem. Together both the Main and Guest house can comfortably sleep 28 in beds, 6 on futons, 32 Max Occupany. Both houses combined create a very large vacation home offering a total 11 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, 3 kitchens, large deck, patio and fire pit.This property offers much privacy for larger groups to easily spread out. WE ARE NOT HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE: Please note the house is not handicap accessible by any code or standard. We have however had a number of guests with limited mobility say they found it very well suited for their needs but they likely did bring a shower chair and had some assistance during shower time, etc. Note there are 2 steps at the front door entry of the home. Based on previous guests feedback they consider the house to be "handicap friendly" noting it has proven to work well for them. One main reason our guests rent this home is that the first floor/street level of the Main house is all one level and has 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms,1 half bathroom, direct access to the Main Kitchen, Living room and back Patio overlooking the large yard and river view. From the feedback we’ve received these features are perfect for guests who may need a walker or wheelchair to get around or have trouble with constant elevation changes. With almost everything they need all in one level of the home it’s the ideal location for them without the worry of getting around in an unknown home. They’ll be in the heart of the main gathering areas. The hall bath does have a wider door than average. The hall bath also has a standard tub/shower that is not set up to be handicap accessible. Please review the floor plans and pictures and feel free to contact us for further information. Again our home is NOT handicap accessible nor has it ever been. We’re simply providing you with information previous guests have given us over the years and their experiences when navigating our home.

River was low so no fish to catch but beautiful area.

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.

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.

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.
5.0
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.

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!

Amazing in all means but little expensive..

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!
5.0
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!

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!!

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.

Home was big enough for everyone. Great location. Very much enjoyed.

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.
5.0
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.
5.0
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..

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!
5.0
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.
5.0
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!

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.

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.
4.0
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.

We had a wonderful stay, we loved the location with the river in our backyard, overall a great place to stay!

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

Our team met to plan our strategy for next year. the space was enough that everyone had their own room. the main house living and dining allowed for enough space to give presentations and encourage involvement from everyone present. The property is beautiful - far enough away from distractions, but close enough to run to town for dinner. Would definitely recommend for team retreats!
5.0
Every year 11 women get together and have been friends since high school. When we go to a hotel, we don’t get to spend as much time with each other and it’s always impersonal and rushed so we looked for a home where everyone can have their own bedroom but yet we can cook and drink wine and talk for 48 hour weekend. Loved outdoor atmosphere with all the yard lighting, fire pit and great sound system; played smooth jazz and drank mimosas in mornings:)
5.0
This property gave "backyard wedding" a whole new meaning. We were able to spend 3 days with our family and friends swimming, cooking, hanging out by the fire, and overall blending our two families! It felt like a holiday, where all of your family comes into town to spend quality time together! The grounds are absolutely gorgeous and made for the most beautiful pictures and atmosphere. It was our fairytale dream wedding and were so thankful for the owners of the River Haven for answering all of our questions and making it such an easy process. We were very cozy and we hope to make this a family reunion place to return to. We cannot say enough about this place and our experience!
5.0
We had a couples retreat for our church group with 8 couples. The property exceeded our expectations! There is SO much room! House was very clean and great amenities. The huge firepit and circle seating was amazing! Being right on the river with the waterfall so close was peaceful. Having 11 bedrooms that all fit adults is rare and one of the reasons we selected this property. The communication with the owner was a breeze with very fast responses. We will be back!
5.0
Our group had a great time hosting an intimate wedding ceremony right on the river. The rooms were great and private enough for all of our guests. We were able to spread out throughout the property comfortably. We loved it here and would definitely return in the future.
