It was nice and quiet. The river was a quick trip down the stairs. The river there was on the swallow side, which was perfect for me and my daughter since we just like to sit along the rocks. We definitely recommend this place!!! ##### Sally T.

Beds / Couches comfortable. Appliances and silverware for cooking and grilling. River had shallow spots to put chairs in and deep enough spots to get fully into river. Backyard was great. Highlight was the outdoor shower for sure. ##### Phillip B.

It exceeded our expectations. The cabin itself and outdoor area are well thought out for a getting back to nature getaway. We brought a kayak, sup board, and tubes with us and spent our days on the river. We ate all our meals outside at the picnic table. Highly recommend! Hope we can stay here again! ##### amy s.

BUT, they seem to have a cockroach infestation going on. We left a night early because we couldn't handle it anymore. ##### Ryan M. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Chris C. 19 Jun 2022 #### Rio vista We loved the place and the property! Our only complaints were getting in late due to the cleaning crew not finishing until close to 5 when check in was at 4 and the summit across the river is not good for trying to get away to a nice quiet stretch of the river. We won't be staying here again due to that reason alone. If it weren't for the summit being across we'd stay here again for sure. ##### Chris C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristi B. 12 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing River Getaway We initially booked this property due to the proximity and ease of accessing the river. It was perfect!! The place was so beautiful and light! The backyard was the perfect hangout spot for us to play cornhole and relax in the evenings. The only complaint that I have is that the outside trash was spilling over and hadn't been changed since previous guests and the kitchen sink disposal was full of solid food that needed to be pulled out, but after we got past that the stay was amazing! We will definitely be back!! ##### Kristi B. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Derik V. 18 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Overall Great Stay Very nice house in a great location. Little Ponderosa Tubes is at the entrance they let you float to your house and come pick up tubes then you get your vehicle or can float to them. It was very convenient. The house was simple yet very nice and accommodating. Back yard was also very nice and a great hangout spot when not on the river. The only negative of our trip was the grass was overgrown and really needed to be mowed. Just was an annoyance to have to walk through shin high grass to get to the river. ##### Derik V.

Modern home details, airy, bright rooms, and proximity to the river were all right up our alley. It felt private, but if you were outside, you could hear neighbors (but that's not a deal breaker). We're planning to come back for the summer with our kids to tube the river. Thanks for providing a tea kettle - that doesn't always come with vacation rentals. Our only wish was that they had a Keurig or something similar for coffee like we see at other rentals :) ##### Angelica N. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer B. 28 Jul 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 🌵Amazing Vacation Home🌵 We will stay here again! The home was perfectly decorated in a minimal Texan Modern way and it smelled amazing when we walked in! It was impeccably clean! It has that open feeling yet the bedrooms are private and absolutely comfortable. My favorite parts of the home were the open large shower with adjustable rain shower head, the kitchen, washer & dryer were top of the line, and the concrete stained floors with Texan area rugs. The air conditioning kept us cool on hot nights! The backyard outdoor shower was perfect to get cleaned up after River fun. The location couldn’t be any better with the grand entrance to the crystal clear River. We spent many days in the River just a few steps from the backyard. We received many compliments on the private entrance to the River front since it is so “grand”. We loved everything about this house and worked well having small children and a teenager. Can’t wait until our next stay! Felt bitter sweet checking out and crossing the River one last time.. ☀️ 🌵 ☀️ ##### Jennifer B. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021
