Casita Montalbano - Sleeps 8 to 10 - Private River Access - Pet Friendly Cabin

Rustic 70-year old classic country cabin with lots of charm and tons of amenities! Sleeps 8, but can possibly sleep 10 (with prior approval and extra charge above 8 guests) – total of 9 beds including 2 small sleeper sofas for kids. Dining room table inside house can seat 8-9. Large dining table on back screen porch overlooking backyard can seat 10 or more. Two tables on deck can seat 10, for those that like to dine (breakfast, lunch or dinner) ‘al fresco’ outside with the nice country air. Seating area for 8 on back screen porch is perfect for coffee in the morning, wine in the evening – or just relaxing with a good book while watching the numerous birds. Backyard has a net for volleyball or badminton, as well as a bocce and horseshoe court … there are also mallets for a nice match of croquet. For parking, there is a private drive and a rustic carport with enough space for 4-6 cars to park here and there. To get down to the private riverfront patios, one can walk down the hill (5 minutes) or drive with floats, kayak paddles, ice chests, etc. (1 minute by car). Down at the river there are 2 river patios, 3 kayaks, a table with 6 chairs, a rustic firepit with 6-8 chairs, a rope swing, hammock and the beautiful, refreshing Guadalupe River, which is generally clean-looking and perfect for swimming, floating, tubing, kayaking and just relaxing in the cool water. Oh, and dogs really, really love it! LOL Speaking of dogs, pets are allowed, but of course there are pet rules that must be abided by – namely, no dogs on the neighbor’s property, you must pick up after your dog(s) at all times, and pets are not allowed on any furniture, like, ever. Back up at the cabin, there is a ‘bunkhouse’ which contains all of the river equipment you could possibly want, but you are also welcome to bring your own – be sure to ask what we have. There are also 3 BBQ grills – 1 is for charcoal/mesquite, 2 are electric. In order to use these grills, you must agree to clean them after use or before departing, out of respect for the next guests. Note that inside the house there are only 2 sofas in the living room area for approx 5-6 people, but there are plenty of extra chairs and many other sitting areas. Also note that for now there is only one shower – a second shower will be added soon, but so far in over 70 years of this house being in our family the one shower has never been an issue, nor has it for any guests. The kitchen is fully loaded with almost all of the spices, sauces, condiments, utensils and appliances that you can think of, so you really only need to bring your food, and that’s it. Same with the bathrooms and bedrooms – fully loaded with towels, linens, cleaning supplies, toiletries. And the laundry room is available for your use, as well. Last, but not least, there is a game closet with a number of board games, as well as a DVD and VHS player with approx 40-50 movies. Ahhh, and a popcorn maker! Most importantly, though, from our family to yours we would like to see you relax, rest, have fun, laugh, celebrate, eat well and enjoy the beautiful and peaceful nature of the Texas Hill Country! :)

During your stay at this cabin, you're just a quick walk from Guadalupe River. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and a kitchen in the cabin.
