Perfect location for a family Labor Day vacation. The weather was perfect. Easy access to the river. We set up a canopy with water chairs to hang out in the water. The grandkids had so much fun floating down a bit and walked back up. We were able to also do an hour and half float down to the house. I would highly recommend this house. The only issue we had was the 2 twin beds upstairs were not very comfortable.

Reviewer Comments:
Overall, this was a good rental. It had more privacy than expected of a property on River Road. Bring your own tubes or rent from Roy's and put in upstream at Meckles Landing for a nice hour-long float to the property. Lovely porch with comfortable chairs - this is where I spent most of my time. If you are looking for a place to fish, this probably isn't the spot. And we did have a few minor issues (there is an alarm that kept going off at night and needed to be reset, the roof leaked in the heavy rain and the dishwasher also leaked) but the rental manager was responsive, so they have likely fixed these issues. All things considered; I'd rent this property again.

Reviewer Comments:
Rental was great for our group. It was 100 degrees and the house was always cool so hats off to AC unit. It was a nice spot for sitting in the river and relaxing. Beds in this home are definitely a 3 out of 10. If you like that squeaky springs from the 70's feel you will love it. Kitchen size and table were great for games and food. Barbeque Ignition DOES NOT work so be prepared to risk explosion to get it lit. :) The hill down to the water gets rough after 4 or 5 trips back and fourth so bring what you need to the water.
Great location! River is awesome. Gotta go into Gruene at least once, but most important, gotta just sit in the river as much as possible. God Bless Gruene Hall and the Guadalupe River!
Lovely property, well-maintained in an ideal location. The river was just steps away from the beautiful porch and the property is minutes away from horseshoe float and Gruene activities. Excellent communication with property management during check in and check out process. Our family had a wonderful stay and would definitely return!
We loved the property. The house was spacious and the proximity to the River was second to none!

Beautiful house with a great view. The house is right on the river, nice and secluded and the section of river that it is on has a nice flat bottom, perfect for wading.
Beautiful home and view with direct access to the river. Quiet and peaceful. It was a short drive into Gruene and New Braunfels. There was ease in communication with the property management company. I could not be more pleased with the visit!
The house was very clean and a great location! The view from the river at the house was amazing! It was so relaxing sitting in the river in the back yard! It was a great house for a family vacation!

House is in a fantastic location right on the river. Property was clean. Also, they went above and beyond to help return some important personal property that I accidentally left. Would definitely recommend.
Everything about the home was perfect for our family. Loved the River access and plenty of parking. We will return to this home!

Home as very clean. Route down to river was ok, the brush around could have used a trim. Other than that would defiantly com back. Recommend 10 out of 10.
This house toward the end of River Road. Very secluded and private with a very nice waterfront River front area perfect to enjoy the day in the Guadalupe River!! Really relaxing experience.

Overall, house was good size, open and clean. Some appliances really need to be upgraded and beds absolutely need to be replaced, however, most everything else worked well. Home is in a great location. Location is close to restaurants and shopping. If owner upgrades beds, we will definitely stay again.

The property was lovely, the home space large and clean. We were there to attend a reunion on another property near by so we really didn’t spend much time exploring NB. There were a few communication challenges because we had a Canadian phone and little wifi access.
