'Serenity On The San Gabriel'... Where peace and serenity meet a retreat for fun gatherings and endless adventure! This home is the perfect place to host you and your guests no matter the reason or season. Located on the San Gabriel River (yep, kayaks included!) the backyard is something to be envied and sure to be enjoyed... large oak trees, ample outdoor seating & dining, a large playset, tree swing, hammocks, and plenty of space to run around... pictures cannot capture its vastness or amazing detail and amenities! The outdoor space is simply incredible, but the inside won't disappoint either! The kitchen is fully-equipped, the beds are comfortable, the towels are plush, and there is plenty of space to spread out yet still feel together.

Enjoy the provided kayaks, bicycles & scooters, board games, kids' books, outdoor playset, or relax on any of the provided outdoor furniture and enjoy the sounds of nature while sipping that coffee or sweet tea. The San Gabriel River Trail for great walking and biking is only 400 feet (1-minute walk) away as well!! Rain or shine, it's guaranteed to be a good time! Georgetown is a historic town where you can capture that "small-town feeling" while still having access to great shops, larger restaurants with delicious food, and tons of festivals year-round!

The kitchen boasts a large island where everyone can gather and offers everything you need to whip up a great-tasting meal or bake some goodies! With items like a Keurig, coffee maker, crockpot, Vitamix Blender, KitchenAid stand mixer, toaster, cooking essentials, cookie sheets, baking pans, and more, you will have everything you need but the ingredients! There is also plenty of seating around the dining table, island, and the adorable kiddo table (the crayons and chalkboard are a huge hit, too!)

The primary bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, bedrooms 2,3, and the shared full-sized hall bathroom are located in a hallway with a pocket door you can easily shut for added privacy! Each bedroom offers comfortable beds, sound machines, and alarm clocks with USB ports for easily charging your devices. The primary bedroom boasts a king-sized bed, TV, a desk for remote working, and an ensuite bathroom with a large walk-in shower, double vanity, and walk-in closet. Bedroom 2 has another king-sized bed while bedroom 3 holds a queen-sized bed and a set of twin bunk beds! The full shared bath holds a combo tub/ shower, which makes it easy to bathe any kiddos on your trip! The 4th bedroom is located off of the kitchen (full bed) and has its own TV as well.

Family fun
We loved this place, only wished the river was a bit higher. Lots of games and books for kiddos of all ages. We were stuck with rainstorms one day and found plenty to do without turning to electronics. Great out of the way feel but still in the city and nice being right by the trail entrance. We took our 50lb dog and she was fine in the yard. Smaller may be able to get out under some of the gaps so just be aware. Host was great, super responsive, and even left eclipse glasses for us to use 😀

Beautiful Cozy home
Let me start by saying the location to town, trails and river was perfect! The game room was a big hit with our kiddos and home layout was nice for our bigger family. A few buts...I do think the pictures on the vrbo page are old and are definitely taken at diffirent angles to make the front and back yard look bigger then it actually is. When we arrived the home was clean but we did find it odd that there was trash/food still in the kitchen trash and a airplane ticket and clothes tags left in one of the rooms. Each room had a floor fan in it, but the rooms felt stuffy and hot at night, while the rest of the home was nice and cool. Also we went for my dads birthday weekend and there was still chalk written from a previous stay, and one of the boards we were planning to use were broken so that was a little bummer. The only other downfall was that the grass hadn't been mowed in a while so was fairly high and the long deck table had a few broken chairs and the wood hasn't been kept up with and a few of the hanging chairs had rips. These things are minor yes, but we had planned on spending the majority of our time outside and due to these issues this did hinder it a bit. Despite it raining most of the weekend we did enjoy ourselves in this rental. It had a good cozy presence and I did like all the extra thought that you can tell went into furnishing this home for a vrbo.

Wow! Great deck, beautiful rooms, easy access to Georgetown, yet tucked away in a quiet corner. Perfect for us who had local friends! Our two days exploring Georgetown were lovely! We also took a trip to New Braunfels to the Animal world and Snake Farm for a planned experience. Not a far trip. The house was so nice, neat and clean. Perfect for a group or family! The Deck was peaceful and so nice. It’s a must see!!

Wedding stay
The house was perfect for our group - 6 adults and 4 kids. Two living areas and multi tiered decks were great when other family members came over for barbecue (ordered from The Pit barbecue just two miles from the house). Located at the back of a neighborhood, backing to the San Gabriel we had privacy and wild life. While the river was too low to kayak the expansive yard was great for football and the street dead ends into a beautiful trail head. It was hard to believe we were a 7 minute drive to restaurants and Costco and the Georgetown city airport where we flew into from Arizona. The grandkids enjoyed the shelves full of books, the game room with ping-pong and the treehouse, bikes and scooters. My daughter in-laws who are both updating their homes loved the waterfall kitchen island and custom cabinets and I loved the updated primary bath with barn door features and huge shower with rain head shower-head! One son enjoyed the well appointed kitchen for making breakfast and the other son tuned the guitars on the wall and played for us while we relaxed in the well appointed open living areas. The parking was great and check in and check out were very easy. My husband and I got to shine as hosts in this terrific vacation property. Thank you

Phenomenal Home! 10/10 is Spot On!
Our group of family and friends stayed during Spring Break. The home was exactly as pictured! It included all the little things to make a stay easy and homey. We rent homes frequently because we travel with our dogs and I can say we have never stayed anywhere so well appointed. Things like hand soap at every sink, nightlights in bathrooms, laundry and dishwasher detergent are all available and in plentiful supply. They had a Keurig and a coffee maker! We cooked nearly every meal at the house because our Southwestern U son stayed with us and wanted all his favorite foods. The kitchen has everything to make cooking easy. The only MINOR struggle we had was finding enough space for dry storage, but I’m willing to bet no one brings as much food to a rental home as we did.😂 The outdoor space is absolutely amazing! They even have a mosquito service to reduce the number of the little pests. Lots of wildlife and peace. A stove for fires and plenty of seating. Our teenage kids liked the ping pong table and dart board in the converted garage and a completely fenced in yard was perfect to let our dogs roam leash free. Honestly, I almost hesitate to list all the amazing things because I don’t want to struggle renting here again, because we will definitely will be back!

This is a very nice house in a nice neighborhood in Georgetown. All the appliances and mechanical parts worked as advertised. Communication with the management company was easy. Best features were the back deck with a nice view, comfortable seating and wildlife viewing (egrets and lots of deer). The neighborhood was extremely quiet with good walking. We would certainly stay there again if we return to Georgetown.

Truly Amazing Place
I know I won’t be able to put into words fully how great this property is, but I will try. We stayed here for a family reunion with 10 total adults, and two toddlers. It was magical here. It was so spacious, clean, well decorated, and homey. Everyone kept going on and on about how wonderful and comfortable everything was. It seemed like they had thought everything out that we would possibly need. There were toys for the kids, anything you would need to cook a big meal in the kitchen, comfortable, seating arrangements, laundry detergent, plenty of towels, plenty of pillows, etc.! we loved sitting outside on the patio and watching the deer and listening to the wildlife from the river. My kids love to walk down to the river and see the fish and the turtles. The neighborhood is so wonderful and safe. We loved going on, walks down the trail, and even just in the neighborhood. Not only that, but there is so much convenience right next to the house. You’re only about five minutes from an H-E-B and lots of restaurants to choose from. We had such a wonderful weekend, and I know that it was mostly due to this house!

Great backyard, interior ok
We loved the property and the backyard. We especially liked the easy access to the trails and kayaking. However, for the price, the furniture lacks tremendously. It’s so, so uncomfortable. The tv’s are small. We tried to use the bikes, but they were nowhere to be found. We reached and we’re told they would get back to us, however, no one ever relayed a response. I’d stay here again for a much lesser rate, given the quality of the interior main room furniture. Please note the beds are super comfortable, with the exception of the bedroom thats on the opposite end of all the other bedrooms.
