We had a great time at the house and property, I wished we had booked just one more day! We stayed 2 nights, my husband and I, my sister and brother-in-law.
The house was very nice and very clean, we had everything we needed. No complaints at all.
The river is right there, just a short walk down. There is plenty of shade. We sat with our chairs in the water, then took the tubes out and floated a bit.
We bbq'd one night and made a fire in the firepit on both nights and sat around listening to music, had drinks.
We went to a tubing service company and floated for 2-3 hours, loved that.
The beds were comfy. I let my sister take the bedroom and my husband and I took the loft, the loft has low ceilings but It's mainly to sleep or lay in bed. We liked it, slept very well.
I would definitely recommend this rental, the house, property and river access was perfect! I seriously cannot think of one negative thing. We never had to contact the owners other than to say we arrived and when we left.
Thank you to the owners!
This is our third summer at the tiny home, and we absolutely love it. We spend all day by the river, cooking out, making s'mores, swinging, and enjoying the beautiful outdoors on the property. The location is perfect, as it's very close to town. The house is ideal for our family of four.
My family of 5 had a fantastic time. It is the PERFECT spot on the river for wading around AND we walked over to a spot that was deep enough to launch our paddle boards out. The amenities are clearly well thought out- from face masks and coffee to inflatables and a wagon to tote everything up and down the hill.
Perfect cozy house right on River Rd. We loved the cleanliness of the home and everything it came with, as well as the perfect spot outside of how the river flowed. We can’t wait to go back!
This tiny house was perfect for the two of us in our anniversary weekend. We loved just hanging out in the river shaded by the trees watching people float by.
This is a beautiful property in a great location on the river. The home was comfortable and was absolutely spotless. It had everything we needed for our stay. It was the perfect location for our stay to fly fish. It was peaceful and the neighbors were kind and respectful.
We would definitely stay here again!
We loved spending our long Easter weekend at this cozy home. The owners were very communicative and accommodating. The home was well stocked for items we may have needed. We loved spending our time around the fire ring and down by the river. We can’t wait to stay again!
Excellent location. Great cabin. Fully stocked kitchen. Keurig.
The only issue we had was with furry sheets on the upstairs beds. But management took care of that.
We have been coming to the river with a group of friends for over 12 years. We used to rent camp but as we’ve gotten older we find that we much more enjoy the cabin life and all of the comforts it provides. This tiny home cabin was just perfect for the 6 of us and literally had every single thing we could’ve dreamed of. The location on the water is fantastic and if you want to float, Gypsy River is right next door to rent tubes from. We enjoyed our stay so much that we decided not to check out and stay an extra day just because we could! Communication with the owner was top notch. I will definitely be referring this one to our friends and family and it will now become our new “river home” for our annual float trips!
The house is absolutely adorable and just as pictures show. The location on the river is the absolute best. Perfect to just walk down and sit in the river and relax.
Only issue we had was a strong sulphur smell to the water in the house which was not the best for kids to overlook the smell to shower but that was the only thing to even improve if possible. The positioning on the property also has another house on the river. A little awkward at first with the tenants of that house thinking we were trespassing but we cleared that up ;) there is plenty of bank space and seating for both house guests. Worth the stay for sure. Would easily stay again.
This was the perfect little house for myself and 3 girlfriends. The house was stocked with everything we needed. The views were amazing. We loved having access to the river and were able to hangout there after we floated the river during the day. I can't wait to bring my family soon. Communication was great with the owners as well.
The house is excellent! property is huge, right on the water, house is well kept and has everything you need. Great house for kids, the loft is really cool, they will love it. Hosts are great a keeping up with communication. This is by far the best place we have stayed in our many years of coming to float the river! we will be renting again!
We were a little nervous renting a tiny house with our 3 teenage boys (19, 17, 15) but there was no need to worry! The house is small but is laid out so well, we never felt cramped or crowded. And the access to the river was unmatched! We would most definitely come back. We loved it!!
Beautiful tiny home, on a beautiful piece of property
This is probably one of my new favorite houses to stay in. It is the cutest tiny home. Perfectly clean. My girls LOVED the loft for them to sleep in. All communication with the owners was prompt and so sweet. The property is gorgeous! The riverfront area was the perfect spot for our little ones to play in the water.
Such a cute family getaway right on the guadalupe!!
My family loved it here!! Everything as expected and much more!! This was the first time taking our lil boys to the river and so happy they got to experience it this way!
