This property is located in a quiet neighborhood. The access to the Guadalupe River is a bit steep, but manageable. The scenery is beautiful.
We enjoyed the outdoor deck as well.
The pictures of the property are quite accurate.
The location is in close proximity to Canyon Lake, New Braunfels, San Marcos, and Wimberly, Texas.
The host is easy to reach and quite responsive.
Overall our stay was peaceful and pleasant.

We had an absolutely wonderful time at Whippoorwill Hill! house was perfect
for us and the location was amazing. Our kids had the best time running down the hill and played in the river for hours and hours. 5 minutes for the loop, so fast to get to for a long float around the Guadalupe! Couldn't ask for a better time, we will definitely be back next summer! Thank you!!

It’s hard to find a house that can accommodate our family well and this one checked all the boxes. Well kept and clean and a fully stocked kitchen which is rare. We made lots of memories at Whippoorwill and we hope to come back again!! We absolutely loved the part of the Guadalupe in the backyard, rapids and shallow water to play in and some deep parts to swim. Best of everything!
We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Whippoorwill Hill! We would love to have you back!
Great property!
by Alison
4/5
Wonderful location and very comfortable house. We really enjoyed the location on the river and the easy river access. The back porch view is phenomenal. Good kitchen and very pretty bathrooms. Property management company was very helpful and responsive. AC takes awhile to cool bedrooms but it was REALLY hot outside when we stayed so totally understand. Construction going on next door but luckily they don’t work all day everyday but when they do, it was pretty loud. Would recommend the property if you’re looking for a comfortable place right on the river. We ran into multiple people that said this stretch of River is the best because it isn’t crowded. We would agree!
Thank you for staying with us. Please come again!
Best River Getaway
by Brittany
5/5
Best place to take a family. We have 3 kids who enjoys spending the day on the River in our backyard. The water was shallow enough for the kids to swim which a bonus rapid for play. We also enjoyed making a campfire each night making s’mores. The house was cute and cozy. It was very private and relaxing. Will definitely returned next summer!
Thank you for staying at Whipoorwill Hill. We would love to have you back!

The house was so nice! We appreciated the modern comforts mixed with old charm. We had everything we needed and the property manager was quick to assist when we couldn’t get the heater to come on. Beautiful river views and easy access made it the perfect spot for us. We caught trout everyday. Definitely recommend.

Loved this trip and this property! Place was clean, water was clear, and the outdoor space was great! We did have to go to the store for toilet paper and paper towels. Only 3 rolls for 7 ppl over 4 days. All in all, great stay! Gina was fantastic to work with and we can't wait to come back!

Amazing Weekend on the River!
by Caroline
5/5
We had an absolute blast at this home. The home was very clean and had all of the essentials (including shampoo, soap, coffee makers (drip and keurig), cooking utensils). The patio outdoors is incredible. We spent every day hanging out on the patio and on the river’s edge. The location is great. Only 3 minutes away from the horseshoe to float and about 10-15 minutes from Gruene. We will definitely come back!
Manager's Reply: Thank you so much for your amazing review, and for being our guests! We look forward to hosting you again soon!

This place is so charming, right on the river and one of the best weekend getaways. Very clean, enough room for 2 families and your own private area on the river. We cooked on the grill and roasted marshmallows in the fire pit, no need to go out for meals. Absolutely would return again.

It is a nice house in an outstanding location. It was the coldest weekend in like 70 years, so the heater was not up to the task. Everything else was good though.

Loved this house and location, right on the river! My kids (ages 5 to 8) loved playing in the river, I definitely recommend bringing water shoes. The river water was cold (50 degrees) so we weren't able to swim. Note - the guest bath only has a bathtub not a shower, and there are no hair dryers at this house.

The home and location was on point. Home is very older country feeling yet nicely updated, clean home! Everything we needed was there, view was excellent to the river. So calm serene and relaxing. Only downside is being it is the hottest time of year the river is extremely cold compared to the other rivers we have floated nearby, not sure why. We did not let that ruin anything though, so much relaxing family time spent together and could not have found a better location. We enjoyed it all, Thank you!
Wonderful get away weekend!
