The house was clean, well appointed, and just right for the 5 of us. Close to the river float, shopping, Austin, and the Mermaid hunt. Host was in touch as needed & helpful. Thanks for everything!

We really enjoyed our stay here, the home was beautifully remodeled with great attention to detail. From walk in showers to modern finishes such as ceiling fans and new appliances.We secured this rental for our families river trip. This property was in very close proximity to all of the river activities.In the evening our family enjoyed the relaxing hot tub. The host had luxuries available such as coffee, laundry pods and an abundance of towels.We would recommend this property to anyone looking for a nice place to stay when traveling.
