A perfect and serene family vacation spot. The house has a family feel while embracing privacy. Back porch is perfect morning, noon, and night, overlooking the firepit. You are literally steps from the river, perfect for swimming and chilling! What's better than the house? The Host! Jody is incredible, accommodating, and always available. Don't look anywhere else. We'll be back.

Jody went out of her way with literally everything!! From calling and text with updates about the weather, to suggestions on where to eat and what to go do.
The house has river access, we stayed on the patio the most part of our trip-so wonderful and peaceful!! Very convenient location, and there’s a tubing place just down the road.
Would very highly recommend this place for a small group get together or a little family trip.

The property was dated but clean. It had pretty much what you need in terms of kitchen amenities. I think it’s a bit of a stretch to say it sleeps 6 because there are two bedrooms so that’s 4 people if you assume couples, the remaining sleeping arrangements are cots, a pretty uncomfortable futon and a couch in the common areas. We made do because we really only needed to sleep 5 adults but if we had 3 couples it would not have worked. The knives were very dull so it was a challenge preparing food but then we found they had an electric sharpener and it was no problem. It’s close enough to a small grocery store, about 30 mins from an H‑E‑B or Target, but it’s right on the river in a nice deep spot you can just hang out in and watch people float by. Even on the most crowded day, it was comfortable in the river in that spot. I will caution it is across the street from a large campground and they play very loud music but you can’t hear it in the house, only on the porch and outside (but if you are trying to relax in nature, that’s not going to happen). It’s a good house, just depends on what you care about.

We felt the property properly described itself, so we had our expectations set well. We really enjoyed the river being so close and we slept great because the great AC and fans.

This is our third time to stay here, but this time it seems to have needed some attention. We love the location, neighbors, quiet street and of course being right on the river. When we first got there, the A/C thermostat was going back to 80 even after we adjusted thermostat, but after a new battery that seemed to fix it. It is programmed to go to 80, you just have to readjust as needed. Jody was great to deal with. She even came over to try and fix the issue and they did a couple of things to help it along. She even called an ac repair person to make sure everything was working correctly. I can’t say enough good things about her and how she made sure we were comfortable. She either called or texted to double and triple check on us.
A few things that might need to be addressed.
1. The yard needed attention. It appeared that the yard hadn’t been mowed in at least 2-3 weeks.
2. The pans in the kitchen need to be thrown out. All of them are non stick but the Teflon coating is gone in all of them.
3. The furniture in the main living is in desperate need to be updated. The cushions are blown out in just about all of the couches. The brown chaise lounge needs to be thrown out. It’s really old, and looks filthy. I did not let my family sit on it.
4. Maybe perhaps some wine glasses and cocktail glasses would be nice addition to the kitchen.
All in all, it’s a great place to stay. I hope to stay there again, but I will bring a couple of pans from home.

This two bedroom house was perfect for our family of four. There were multiple additional sleeping options, but the two beds were all we needed. The house is a little dated, but the yard and river are amazing! Our kids and dog played in the river non-stop. It’s very slow in front of the house, so no issues floating around all day. Jody, the property manager was quick to respond to any questions prior to booking and made sure we knew we could contact if needed during our stay.

We had a great stay here. The house is nice and the river is beautiful. Just be aware that there are going to be bugs in the house (understandable given it's location) and it's a little on the older side (it shows, but it's not bad). After staying in a beautiful newly rented property earlier in the week, I paid less for three days there than I did the two days here. It's on the pricey side for what you get. If the price was lower, I'd be a five for me.
Also, some water toys would be nice. Other vrbos in the area provided kayaks, paddleboards, etc. That would have made a great addition to this lovely property.

Perfect for our group
This property was prefect for our group. The perfect location to tie up your floats and hang out in front of the house and watch everyone go by. The house was close to both concerts that we attended so Uber didn’t have a problem with locating . Unlike some places off River Road we didn’t have a problem here with the WiFi cutting out for some in the group that needed to work !

Location Location
The stay was extremely pleasant, the house has all the necessary amenities but the best part of course was the direct river access from the backyard. We were able to launch our kayaks and tie our tubes off to the trees and float in place. We would certainly stay here again.

Family vacation
We take a family trip to new braunfels every year and this was our favorite. The location was perfect, beautiful and relaxing. We were able to just throw our tubes in the river and enjoy our time together. The house was just the right size for our growing family and had everything we needed.

Beautiful and cozy river cabins
Beautiful and cozy river cabins. I grew up in this area and wanted to take friends along for the experience that I had when I was younger. We enjoyed tubing down the rivers with a cooler full of beers and conveniently staying at this lovely cabin.

Great house and very clean! It was perfect for our family of 6. The house was fully stocked and it was one of the best houses we have rented on the river!

It has potential
So, from the beginning, when you pull up and it says “driveway” do not expect a driveway. It’s just a dirt/rock area. When you open the door you can smell the 70s. It definitely smells like it used to be smoked in. You do get used to it but it’s a smell you can’t cover with air fresheners like they tried to do. There are 2 separate bedrooms with a bathroom in each. That’s a nice feature. When you read River access do not expect it to be a well manicured path or entry into the River. It’s an extremely steep rock path down to some steps and then a few rocks stacked on top of each other to get into the River. It’s not a deck. It’s not an actual entry into the River. It’s okay for the teens but i wouldn’t be okay with little kids being down there and trying to get in and out with them. It’s too unstable for that.
While we were there a huge tree limb fell into the house and porch while we were on the porch. It broke the skylight in the kitchen which we had to clean up, but someone did cover it with a garbage bag. Another disappointing thing that happened: the walls leaking water and puddling on the floor. The popcorn ceiling started dripping white onto the floor. I provided pictures of all the was happening. This place really needs to be cleaned up and renovated before it’s rented again. The location of the home is so great and it’s a fun place on the River but the house and what is provided for the cost isn’t worth it. You get motel 6 quality for Marriot prices.

Family Trip
The house was very nice and clean. Also provides a good amount of space. We also really enjoyed the back porch and view of the water. Only 2 things I would note is the trees need some trimming. A large branch fell on top of my car parked in the drive and also it would be nice if they were maintained close to yhe water so you could more easily fish. The grounds are really pretty but I felt like the pictures didn't really show how steep it is to get down to the water.
Overall we loved the place and would recommend.

Relaxation
We love the location and simple setup. Only with the campers across the river had a better choice of music (explicate lyrics ) but it wasn't a deal breaker.

Great spot for the Family!
Location is great for the family. You are close to outfitters but not in the middle of all the chaos of river road(down south)! Plenty of easy and fun floats from the house. We put in at the house and floated to Meckels(we left a truck there!) also used little ponderosa.. they were a little too expensive for us to use again, but so close to the house.

Decent for a short getaway
I've got to say that the reviews were quite misleading and we were a bit disheartened when we arrived. I couldn't believe there were so many 5 star reviews. When first entering, it wasn't overwhelming, but very obvious that smokers had been in the house at some point. The majority of the home is extremely outdated. Amongst a number of other things, the master bathroom sink was so low, it hurt your back to wash your hands. I understand that it probably costs a lot to maintain a house right on the river and with various groups coming and going, it's likely an uphill battle to keep things nice, but with the cost of the rental, I would think there would be a bit left over to make minimal updates. (Maybe some salt & pepper in the kitchen too.) We were pleasantly surprised that the TV's were updated and we could watch Netflix or Disney+. On a positive note, the AC worked really well which can definitely make or break any home in Texas in August! The back porch was also nice and the fans were very helpful in minimizing flies and mosquitoes (although the far left fan would not work). The folding chairs were also really nice to have on the patio and were very comfortable and good quality. (The doors out to the patio were very difficult to open and close though.) Getting down to the water was another momentary letdown. The concrete bag "steps" were pretty questionable for us adults, let alone our 5 and 3 year olds and our 14 year old lab. Accessing the water is a little tricky too. With no stairs or ladder and very rough rocks below, you have to really pay attention to what you're doing and take your time getting in. WATER SHOES ARE A MUST FOR ANYONE! GOOD ONES WITH RUBBER BOTTOMS! TRUST ME! Not only do they help with the sharp rocks, but also the slippery surfaces and concrete steps. I think it would also be nice to know that there is no beach area/sitting spot in the water in front of this house. Thankfully, we figured out a way to put a camping chair in the water and we went between that, our tubes, and the one large flat rock we did find. Since this was the kids first time on the river and it was barely moving, we didn't want to do a full float (or pay for one...), so we just floated from the house to the rapids about 45 minutes away, then walked through Lazy L&L, got back in the river and crossed over to the house. As much as we were disappointed with the first look at everything, we made the most of our time here and really enjoyed ourselves.

Perfection once again!
This was our 5th stay at this house and the cost/value couldn't be better. Beautiful river access, devil's playground just a half hour tube down the river, and pretty much everything you can need in the house; linens, dinnerware, pots and pans, and ice cold air conditioning! The property manager is very communicative and a lovely lady. As long as this house is standing, we will be visiting there every summer!
