Other Details to Note

Lake levels are down to Guadalupe River levels for dam repairs until summer 2026 You can still swim, fish, kayak and enjoy lake activities. Please review all outdoor pictures, as these reflect current water levels, before booking. ✅ This property has special local compliance requirements which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and a security hold of $1000 (which is not a traditional security deposit, just a pending transaction). As an optional alternative to the security hold, you may opt in to purchase a non-refundable damage waiver provided by a third-party insurance company. The optional damage waiver is $49 for stays up to 10 nights, with an additional $2 per day for stays longer than 10 nights. Damage waiver purchases are optional. To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform called Happy Guest. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it’s a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots. If you have any questions, just message us anytime! Happy to help!

We were in town for Easter weekend and we very pleased with this location. Hosts responded quickly and the home had lots to offer. Water level as mentioned in the description was quite low but it was perfect for fishing, swimming, and the paddle boat!

We had a group of nine stay and everyone was very comfortable! Great seating on the porch overlooking the river, roomy dining and living areas, very comfortable breakfast nook and well stocked kitchen. The bedroom set-up was just what we needed. Pool table, shuffleboard table and Galaga video game were all utilized! All was very clean. Check-in and out seamless. Sarah was very responsive. All made for a very positive stay--we appreciate it all!
