Absolutely loved this place. Wonderful getaway whether you are from out of town or just need a quiet place outside of the city. Tommy was always available if we needed him (which we didn’t because everything went perfectly). We really enjoyed the river, cozy living room, and I loved reading and napping on the hammock. Wonderful stay! Next time we are in town visiting family, we would absolutely love to stay again.

Incredibly Relaxing Getaway

Couldn't ask for more. Just a great, remote, relaxing getaway locations. Plenty of room for the kids to play in the back yard and down by the river. Love the hammock and the outdoor grill.....We will definitely be back in May for White Bass season @ Granger.

Great getaway from the City

We were greeted by Tommy who maintains the property, his friendliness alone gives this place 5 stars! The house is on a large property with a nice little river running right behind it. if you just want to cool off, float a little, fish or just hang out it is all possible in the water. With the property being so big you can take a little walk and enjoy the nature. The house it self was nice a spacious, plenty of places to kick back and relax or entertain friends. Outside the wrap around patio especially at night is nice to relax. The small town is about a 10 min drive if you need anything. Definitely will be going back.

Great staycation

Wanted to get away for my birthday with the girlfriend and get out into the country. Beautiful property with the San Gabriel running through it. The folks were very generous with providing all the information we needed for the house. They let us know to contact them if we ever needed anything and also didn’t mind us staying a couple hours later for check out. Highly recommend this property if you want to get away from the cities.
