Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place was great, right on the river and the back is covered with old pecan trees.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: If you’re looking for a place with river access this is it. Just walk outside your backyard straight to the river. Outside deck is nice with plenty of space. Pictures of the house is exactly how it is. Plenty of room to spread out. Rooms do get pretty bright once the sun comes out. Overall nice stay.

Beautiful Property

We enjoyed our stay. This property is really beautiful and the house is nice. We stayed at the end of the season. There were a few things that needed to be fixed in the restroom that I chalk up to our timing. The house is really nice and the area is good and not too busy. The communication with the owner was fabulous and timely. I recommend a stay here and I appreciate the openness of the owner to add an extra day at the last minute.

Awesome property!

Amazing location right on the river! Really enjoyed that we could just walk out the house and right down to the river to hang out. Also loved that the kids could tube down the river and exit right in the backyard. House was very clean and looked recently updated. Was very surprised by how well stocked the house was. I have gotten used to taking all of my own cooking utensils and pots/pans when staying at rental properties because it can be really hit or miss with what the house has, but this house had EVERYTHING! Overall everyone in our group loved this house and we are already anticipating our stay here next year!

Great River House!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful long weekend here. River access and the patio were perfect. Afternoon shade was wonderful. There were 6 adults and 8 kids and the space was enough. Home was clean and in good shape. Staff was attentive via email. Only complaint was one of the full beds in the 3rd bedroom was sagging/broken. Not sure if it was the mattress or the frame, but no one can sleep comfortably in this bed.
