We are 4 couples and we travel together a couple of times a year. We had a great time at this property! It was perfect for meals, games and stories around the campfire. May have to go back in the summer to enjoy the river! Thanx for providing the perfect setting for our time together!!!!
Beautiful exterior and location could not be better. Could use some kitchen appliance upgrades. This is my family's second rental of this property and we enjoyed it. It just needs some appliance updates.

Big house with lots of space. The house was very clean, great location, and fast response time. The stairs down to the river are a bit slippery and the "floating dock" is very unsteady, we almost fell multiple times. Other than that, the house was great!

We were in San Marcos for my son's world series baseball tournament. Choose this house for the location and space it offered. Great house needs some remodeling but overall spacious and right on the river. All the neighbors were nice and respectful. Had a great time on the river to cool off from the 110-degree temperatures that weekend. Kids had a blast.
Very nice property, next to the river and very well located
Enjoyed our stay a lot

The oven was not working and this was not disclosed in advance, just a paper stuck to the oven door when we arrived.
Every year a group of friends and us take a river trip. This was our first year booking this house, but it won’t be our last. The house and rooms were very spacious and easily accommodated our 10 guests. The front and back yards are huge! You won’t have to worry about parking or being to close to your neighbors. The grounds are maintained beautifully. There is easy access to the river in the backyard and a deck that over looks the water. I highly recommend this house to all.
Beautiful location with easy access to the river for lots of floating fun. Kitchen is large and had almost everything we needed for cooking. Could use a few more dish towels and more than one dish sponge. House is a bit dated. Though and could use a few updates. Corn hole available and a large charcoal grill. We enjoyed sitting outside on the porch

We were down for our daughter’s wedding and had a very good stay. This property was very nice. It had everything we needed for a nice stay. It was clean and well maintained. The management company was extremely prompt and helpful in responding to any correspondence . It is about a 20 minute drive to get to Gruene and/or New Braunfels. The river behind the property is quiet and beautiful. I would highly recommend this property to anyone who is needing a large, but comfortable space.
The home was easy to find. Check in process was easy. We were a little disappointed in that one oven was not working, the freezer in the refrigerator was not working (however another unit was provided), and there was some tree debris on the stairs down to the water. It was hard to see the water from the deck due to the large amount of vines and bushes growing up from the river.
The house was clean and the beds were comfortable. We could not get the Wifi to work the entire weekend.
This house is right on the water. The stairs down to the water were safe & sturdy.
The property needs some work/repairs. Pretty sure the electrical in the house isn’t up to code. The back porch and stairs have nail heads sticking up which causes accidents. The stairs to the river were covered in mud, from flooding I assume and there was no floating dock as noted on the wall when going out back doors. Lights in upstairs bathroom with shower have a delay before coming on. All door knobs are a bit loose. Microwave turntable doesn’t work. Ovens are very outdated and do not cook thoroughly. Raccoons are a nuisance. House isn’t terrible but definitely a little over priced.

House was spacious and clean, but outdated, there were signs on appliances saying they didn't work, yard was overgrown, and patio furniture was dirty and limited for a house that accommodates so many people. We booked this house because we were attending a concert at Gruene Hall and VRBO listing stated 1.76 miles away, when we got address two days before our check in we mapped it and it was not, took 20+ minutes to get to Gruene Hall. We got the run around from VRBO, management said we could cancel and get a refund but by then no other houses were available in the location we wanted.

Cozy but very outdated
The house was very cozy inside (although very outdated) but fit our needs. The outside (back) of the house that backs up to the river was very cluttered with tree limbs/trunks, large blocks and concrete boulders throughout the yard.
The new floating dock was extremely dangerous. There was no steps to get into the water. Once you step on the dock it moves horribly. There is no balance to it. I know it's floating, but have been on others that are secure and do not cause you to fall. The area around the dock is over grown with weeds.
The deck on the rear of the home is in need of repair. At the minimum, nails that stick up should be fixed or replaced. Several from our party tripped from the raised nails on the deck.
The home has a LOT of potential...but we certainly will not rent again. The description and pictures are very deceiving
