A Few Recent Reviews(We have over 200 just like them) Tyra - Rating: 5 stars June 2024 Stayed a few nights The house was very clean, just the right size. I read the there were 2 king sized bed but only one, the other was a queen, which was fine. The hot tub was fabulous. I thought it would be closer to the river. The house had just about everything you could need. The beds were very comfy! We really enjoyed our stay!

Armin Danville, California Rating, 5 starsApril 2024 Stayed a few nights We had a wonderful time in this theme inspired home. Photos were great and accurate but once inside the charm really stood out ! A cowboy country themed experience throughout. Appreciated the local restaurant recommendations and plenty to do in this beautiful town in hill country. Close to the bike trail, right outside down a path from the back yard. Hot tub was wonderful and relaxing at night . Would love to be back one day when in the area and ready to explore more and more!

Guest Access All areas of home and yard are accessible except an owners closet which is locked. Please keep in mind the river bottom on the other side of the Rivertrail directly behind our property is private property and river is not accessible there. Guests can walk down to the rivertrail behind the home via a marked path and then follow the trail to nearby parks. You can also walk by the front sidewalk down to Lowry park entrance and on to Luise Hays park less than a mile away (easier access that way if you have a bike). If you would like to kayak we suggest you put kayaks in at one of the nearby parks. They are walking distance from our cottage but not if you are carrying a kayak. You can also fish from the bank at the parks or at various places along the trail where it gets close to the river. Swim holes abound at Hays Park, about quarter of mile walk. Try the river bank area by the bridge behind the library for a great little known swimming hole.
