Recent Central Texas guest reviews

Please be aware the advertisement shows an address close to the Air Force Base and it’s actually on the other side of San Antonio. I booked because it was close and once the address was given the home was not close.

This house is bright, clean and spacious! The wrap around porch provides gorgeous views of the surrounding hills and has a porch swing to watch the sun set. You can sit in a rocking chair and watch the deer and the jackrabbits meander around the property. We would definitely book this property again!
Beth V. | Jul 2026
The location was perfect. Just far enough from the main river to have quiet and calm water for kids swimming, kayaking and stand up paddle boarding but a 5-minute paddle to the action of the main river. Loved the screened porch and that the dock and water is shaded all morning.
