Beautiful spot, Plenty of rooms

The houses were great for our group of mothers and sons. Plenty of beds, great outdoor spaces with 2 decks. There are steep stairs to the lower deck and to the river so might be tricky for small kids or elderly. Kitchen had plenty of pots, pans utensils, bowls, etc.

Great Fall Break Getaway

We had a large group with varying ages-adults, kids and toddlers. We all enjoyed our time at this location! Beautiful view of the river and a quiet surrounding neighborhood. About 25 minutes to town and 23 minutes to Gruene. The back deck could stand a good dusting, as there were a lot of cobwebs around the pavilion and the lights didn't seem to work.

The house was beautiful, and it had everything we needed. Having multiple outdoor areas was great for hanging out with the family. Beautiful view of the river. An ample number of sleeping areas for a family of 13. The Chairs by the river need to be thrown out. They collapsed on two of my family members. There should be a little more detail about the river access. It is not great for anyone who is older or out of shape. The backyard was not mowed and didn't get mowed until the day before we left. There are also two loose steps on the upper deck. Overall, the entire family enjoyed the stay, but we would look for a place that has easier access to the river.

Great place for a group

We stayed here with 3 different families and it’s a great setup for a big group like that. House and cottage were both clean. Beds aren’t the most comfy but that seems to be the case at most rental places. There’s a bit of deferred maintenance that could be done (some light bulbs missing or not working, covered deck had a ton of old dusty spiderwebs, etc) but really nothing that made any difference to us on our vacation. Overall we’d definitely stay again. We had our own tubes so we went upstream a bit and paid one of the outfitters a bit to park a couple vehicles and then just floated to the house, about a 3 hour float, it was perfect, did that twice and was a lot of fun.

Very cool and relaxing. The perfect place!

Not sure where to start....came with another couple with all our kids and it was the best place we've ever been to. The kids played outside constantly under the trees (not sure what kind they were). The water was clear and calm and so relaxing. We hardly were in the house. Don't get me wrong, the house is amazing too but the backyard is the coolest. There's even a little small "house" in the back where my two older kids stayed. It has a bathroom and gives them a sense of independence. We also ate some great BBQ, went to Gruene Hall, Whitewater Amphitheater and rented a boat for a couple days. I want the owners to sell me their place :). My wife and my friend's wife loved it too. My kids keep asking when we're going back.

Not clean

Definitely feel like it could be cleaner considering we have to pay a cleaning fee. The lamps beside the bed where covered in dust. The ac unit filter you could tell hadn’t been changed in about 2 years. Bug all over the night stands and floor. They used window units which is fine but need cleaning it’s smelt like moldy and musty in rooms.

Best. Time. Ever.

I just needed a place for me, the kids and hubby to have some fun together as a family. Well....we found the place. This place was awesome. The entire back part of the property is shaded and there's an easy way to get in and out of the river. My husband tried fly fishing (but didn't catch anything). Next time we'll try the fishing guys out of Gruene. There's a bunk room at the front of the house that is perfect for all the kids. The living room and kitchen were good (not as nice as mine at home but it did fine). AC worked great but the main feature of this place was the back porch/ back yard. There's a grill and plenty of decks to sit, play, sleep or eat :). SkyRun was great helping get us settled and answering questions about the fun things to do in the area. We hated leaving.

Pros/Cons

Online pictures were deceiving. THE PICS NEED TO BE UPDATED. Bunk beds were posted in 2 different bedrooms but were not even there. Double beds, yes, but when you have older cousins that are teenager cousins and both sexes, they need bunks not beds. Dishwasher did not work! 1 roll of paper towels-only Pans were in bad shape 1 ply toilet paper Dining room table end by fireplace is broken Tons of leaves on walkways made them slick All outdoor areas were covered in leaves Shower door in hall bathroom was broken Split/heat/ac unit in bonus room did not put out heat - just cold air! cottage bathroom door drug the floor and almost impossible to close Lots of room Beautiful setting
