Just playing and sitting in the water was the options close by. Apple Store in the town of Medina had great food! Would like to stay again once the Medina River is flowing better. ##### Vanessa H.

The house was great and had everything we needed but the location was the best. We walked down to the river and sat on the back porch watching the variety of wildlife that came out to eat the corn that we threw out. Besides the whitetail, we had black buck, axis, wild pigs, and mouflon sheep. We did go for a drive through the hill country and then stopped in town at the apple store and had lunch and brought some delicious apple pie back with us. We will definitely be back when we can stay a little longer. ##### Barbara F.

Cabin was clean and updated. The River was a short walk on a well maintained path. River access is fantastic, shallow enough for small kids and deeper in parts for bigger kids to swim. Crystal clear water in a private and secluded location. We saw deer at all times of day and at night saw more stars than we’ve ever seen before. Cabin was well stocked with necessities like trash bags, toilet paper etc. Only small criticism would be that the tap water wasn’t great for drinking so would recommend brining bottled water. ##### Kate M.

It was just two of us, so we only used the master suite and the one additional bathroom. There are two other bedrooms, with multiple beds/bunks, that could sleep bunches of kids, who would be very happy there. The place seems very new, and regardless, very clean. Kitchen is simple and functional (didn’t use it much). Good layout and space. From San Antonio airport, just over an hour drive (through Boerne and Bandera). Places to eat in Bandera and also Kerrville (north about 30 minutes). Lots of recreational options, including just a 5 minute stroll to the Medina River from the back deck. Improvement opportunities: clear check-out instructions, and better stocked things like dishwasher pods. According to my ladyfriend, the female-friendly amenities (lotions, conditioners, etc) could be upgraded. But these are nitpicks. We really enjoyed the stay and definitely would return. Thanks to the Forrests for hosting us. DAC ##### David C.

Such a relaxing, peaceful time. We enjoyed all the scenery and watching the wildlife. The river is crystal clear and refreshing. We will be back! ##### Kelly G. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nancy G. 3 Aug 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing fun in country and on river Beautiful Texas Hill Country with river access. We loved watching the deer and other wildlife. We floated the river two days and had so much fun with our own tubes. We started one trip at the property and floated to the 3 mile bridge (I think), then another day floated from the Paradise Park to the property. Well, float and hike! It was great fun! House is fabulous! Slept large extended family comfortably. ##### Nancy G.
