The space
Lovely 3 bedroom 2 bath home. Hardwood floors, granite, comfy furniture, amazing backyard with grills and River access through Texas State Tubes. We provide coffee, a full working kitchen and wifi, as well as linens. There are 3 beds to fit 6 people and a blow up bed to fit 2 extra people or 2 kids if previously agreed upon. Please note that there is a $25 convenience fee + the cost of shipping to ship items left behind. If it is left during peak shipping season (Christmas) there will be a $50 convenience fee + shipping. Please remember to triple check you haven't left anything behind.

Guest access:
Entire house including garage. We will NOT be here when you are here. Please keep in mind that we DO live here and we rent this out to supplement my income while I'm in school at TXSTU getting my masters. We have children as well that need a place to live after renting out. We have wonderful neighbors who help keep watch of our home and we are either staying in the neighborhood or within 1 hour of it and check on it often. Our neighbors have cameras that show the outside property, fyi.

Other things to note:

We no longer have a cowboy pool but are working on getting a sauna, hot tub, above ground pool before the summer of 2025. Please ask.

We have small dogs that we take with us when people rent out our home and we clean very thoroughly, however, it is possible that there will be some dog hair in case you are highly allergic.

We have a clothes steamer in the laundry room. We DO NOT have an iron.

We prefer families and older, responsible adults are welcome..

Again please don't hesitate to ask any questions.
