The location and home are beautiful. The river is down quite a bit but still useable. Close to area attractions: Gruene Hall and Schlitterbahn. BUT there are some pretty apparent maintenance and management issues that prevent me from giving it a great rating. Most reviews last year before our stay were positive, so I think this is a recent problem with the management company or property manager. I have never left an unfavorable review on VRBO or other similar sites, but I felt this was warranted. Upon arrival, cleaning crews were still on site. Trash from previous occupants was overflowing from bins our entire stay, preventing us from disposing of our garbage. The front water heater in the master suite was not operational, nor the elevator (which was a reason for our stay). The wifi was not working the majority of the time, as a result the tvs were also not operational. But the biggest problem was the septic. It is clearly broken (possibly aerator) or overused by previous occupants needing to be pumped, resulting in a terrible odor in the yard, front door entry stairwell, porches and outdoor gathering areas. This was a pretty big bummer as we contacted mgmt the first morning with no repairs or followups, and as result we could not always use the outdoor amenities. Very disappointing to pay such a hefty price for a river house and not be able to enjoy it for the whole stay. I think the owners would do well to allow more time between large groups to address property issues to prevent future problems. The hefty nightly fee and cleaning fee, do not seem well applied to maintain this lovely home for future renters. As for others looking at this home, I would be wary of renting as the listing does not disclose amenities that are known to not function, and the management company does not work to remedy problems encountered during your stay.
