No Clean Fee. River Access. Dog OK. Owner Managed

First Things First: Being managed by a local Owner (instead of an absentee owner who has hired a management company), we have not implemented complicated rules. Your stay shouldn't be burdened with the fear that you're going to "get in trouble" for something. We want you to relax and enjoy! Just use common sense and don't damage, steal, or trash the property, and we'll all be happy! (If your desired check-in/out date is blocked, please send us a message. We can possibly unblock the date if cleaning can be done. If you are interested in booking for the two coming total eclipses, see below. Thanks!) The whole house is yours. Following a "beyond-the-studs" extensive remodel completed Sept. 2020, this 3 bedroom, 3 bath home is the ideal getaway for adult couples and small families. Enjoy the giant Hill Country view from the covered back porch and deck. All new everything, including GE's Cafe brand appliances. There's a fire pit and an outdoor grill. An initial small bag of charcoal for the grill will be provided at no charge but you may need more. You will have full access to the "quiet part" of the Guadalupe River just a short distance (4 tenths of a mile) from the house - see photos. You are almost sure to be the only one there as this river park is not open to the public. It includes a covered area with a large picnic-style table, a new wooden dock with a ladder to enter the water, and a stone BBQ pit (no wood/charcoal provided). You may quickly put in a kayak from the park (Kayaks are not provided, but may be rented in Kerrville.) Unless you are a power walker, the river park is not within walking distance. The gate code will be provided to you at check-in. Bedroom 1: King bed, larger bath, with comfort-sized walk-in shower and walk-in closet. Bedroom 2: Queen bed with walk-in shower in the full bath. Bedroom 3: Murphy bed folds out to a Queen bed. Walk-in shower in the adjacent full bath. No TV in this room. This house sits on 2.6 acres, so you won't feel crowded. Water softener, with an iron filter. Full-sized washer and dryer. Initial Tide Pods are provided. Full-sized attached Garage. Solid Quartz Countertops throughout the kitchen and bathrooms. Two central a/c - heat units. The pool is NOT heated but is open all year. Kitchen items and cleaning supplies are provided, as well as towels and initial toiletries for each bathroom. No cleaning fee will be assessed, but we hope you will help us be ready for the next guest. (A HUGE Thank You to all of our previous guests who have been sooo tidy!) In re-designing, the Owners chose to make it comfortable. Modern comfortable. Rather than maximizing the number of people the house will sleep, it's maximized for casual living. No bunk beds, air mattresses, or "grandma decor" here! There is a built-in coffee/serving bar, with Keurig and a supply of coffee pods, in the dining/kitchen area with a microwave drawer and USB charging plugs, and a weather station. The living room has a rock fireplace (an initial supply of wood provided, no charge). The original paintings displayed in the home are by the Owner, Kathy Simmons, and are available for purchase. The two main bedrooms, and the living room, have 55-inch TVs with Roku built-in on all TVs. Be sure to bring your login information for your streaming services! There is no satellite or cable TV, but there is free unlimited DSL wireless internet (maximum of 50 speed, generally very reliable, but the speed will be lower at times). Music can be enjoyed with the Sonos "Move" speaker, which may be easily picked up and moved to any location or room inside, or outside on the back porch. The Move will stream with a Bluetooth connection from your device. You won't be roughing it here. Everything is like-new and ready to be enjoyed. Since a "picture is worth a thousand words", please review the posted pictures which tell the story of this exciting new house with a central location in the Hunt/Ingram/Kerrville area. For those familiar with the local area, the house is off Cade Loop, near the Ingram dam. (If you look at a satellite map view, you'll see the property BEFORE the remodel... it's nothing like that now.) If you are searching for a rental in the Hill Country, you likely already know about all the wonderful adventures the area offers. This modern, nicely-appointed home is the perfect base for local adventures in Hunt, or Kerrville, or Fredericksburg (an easy-driving 30 miles - but there is a private car service, see below*). Or... just stay in and enjoy the pool, the views, and the uncrowded space! Keep in mind, this is a new, modern house. If you're looking for "rustic" or "cabin"... this ain't it. ***** Review from March 2022: "Upon entering the home I noticed that the home was immaculate, warm, and inviting. The home was beautiful, extremely well-stocked, and clean. The views were lovely—even better than the photos. No detail inside or outside of the home was overlooked. The private riverfront park was a huge bonus. It provided the perfect setting for a quiet afternoon of fishing off the dock with my daughter and husband. William was excellent and responded within minutes when a question arose about the lock code for the park. I highly recommend this Airbnb. My family is already eager to return during the summer!" And another from May 2021: “The first thing we noticed when arriving was the amazing view! We arrived around sunset and the windows/patio door along the back wall was the perfect picture of the gorgeous hill country, the sparkly clean pool, and the setting sun. The rest of the house matched the same level of perfection. Each room was clean and furnished with quality furniture and bedding/linens. The kitchen was just as beautiful! We cooked dinner there the first night and then two breakfasts with such ease. Everything we could have needed was there! We would definitely go back!” ***** Please carefully read the cancellation policy regarding what fees will apply if you cancel.
