*** Check in is 3pm. Checkout is 11am, but in many cases an early check in or late check out can be arranged.

***As you can see, this is a FAMILY home in a FAMILY neighborhood. Late night noise and excessive guests will not be tolerated. After 11pm at night, no more than FIVE vehicles may be parked at the house. Neighbors WILL call the sheriff's department if there is excess noise and we will do an 11pm drive-by on weekend nights to count the number of cars and check for noise. We want you to have a good time here, but this home is designed for families and responsible adults. Thank you for your consideration!******

   This home offers too many amenities to mention, but let me try:

*Direct waterfront access to the Guadalupe River. Right off our banks you can tube, canoe, kayak or just plop a chair down and relax in the most beautiful of Texas Rivers. Giant Cypress  trees line the bank at this shady retreat. The house sits on high ground. There are steps from an upper deck to a lower deck and then steps down to the river.

*Decks aplenty! The porch high above the Guadalupe has a covered wrap-around cement deck that offers the chance to relax and enjoy a beverage amidst the trees. Below that, a wooden deck features a patio table and chairs and a large bench for relaxing. The propane gas grill nearby means you can grill your dinner and serve it al fresco! Another level down there's an eight-foot wooden bar overlooking the river. Pull up the bench and have beer or dinner. Then, down by the river, there's another pavestone deck with two tables where you can relax as the tubers (or the ducks!) float by. Plus, there's a picnic table near the river as well!

*Recreation for the Kids! This home features a 16-foot trampoline with pads and side nets for your enjoyment as well as a wooden play structure with swings, a sliding board and a fort.

*Games: Come here to play! We have a full size volleyball net you can set up, a croquet set and even Hillbilly Horseshoes (otherwise known as ladder golf). Come here to play and have fun!
