SAN GABRIEL RIVER RETREAT Waterfront View, POOL, BBQ, 10 mins to downtown!

The San Gabriel River View Home is located in the heart of Georgetown, TX. It walking distance to miles of trails along the San Gabriel River which lead to many parks, Lake Georgetown, downtown Georgetown and more! The views from this home are amazing! The property has panoramic river views that can be seen from multiple windows in the home, as well as on the back patio and pool areas. The home is fully furnished and ready for you. Downtown Georgetown is less than a 10 minute drive and includes many restaurants, museums, wineries, shopping adventures and the historical Georgetown Square. Southwestern University, Round Rock Outlet Mall and Sun City are all just a short drive!

This property is perfect for small groups not exceeding 6 people. It has 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. Both of the bathrooms have walk-in showers (no bathtubs). Please note a 4th bedroom, storage room and garage will be locked and not accessible by guests. There is a long carport for covered parking which can fit two cars in front of one another. There is other parking in the long driveway and on the street. This property does not allow pets due to the pool.

Please note, access to down to the river by the water is NOT allowed. Guests need to stay in the backyard fenced area. Chandler Park is just a few minute drive away and is a great place to fish and sit at the picnic tables by the water if you want to be by the river.

Please note this property is not recommended for children, due to the private pool. There is no lifeguard on duty, so swim at your own risk and minimum age for all guests is 15 years old. The pool is not heated. The person making the reservation needs to be at least 25 years old. No diving in the pool as it is shallow. And stay off the pool coping and faux negative edge, on the sides and back river side of the pool.

Don't forget your coffee, cream, sugar, laundry detergent, soaps, shampoo/conditioner and toiletries. We have a regular drip style coffee maker at the property. We provide toilet paper and paper towels to get you started.

If you would like to bring kayaks or water toys for the river, you are welcome too. You just need to access the river at Chandler Park, which is about a three minute drive from the house. There is no river access in the backyard.

Please note, we have a Ring security camera located at the exterior front entrance overlooking the driveway.

Loved the view, the patio furniture, and the pool. Great plants and landscaping. Gorgeous kitchen but please note that the fridge doesn't have drinking water feature. Wouldn't have minded an upgraded toilet paper as it was very thin. We were missing a hot tub. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and we will definitely be back. PS Do be mindful of scorpions as it is Texas.

Best VRBO we have stayed in!
This was by far the best experience we have had with a property on VRBO. The communication with the host was prompt and very accommodating, the house itself is beautiful and the neighborhood is picturesque. We loved the backyard with the pool and how peaceful it was no matter what time of day or night. We are already planning our next trip back!

River View + Pool! What more can you ask for!
Our stay was fantastic! Family + pups had the best time and most comfortable stay in this Texas heat. Nature and river views and a pool were the right combo for us. All the creature comforts in this beautiful river retreat! It instantly felt like home! We would definitely return!

Great Hill Country Getaway
The property was perfect for our group of six. It seemed like it had been completely remodeled with great attention to detail. The layout was great to hang out together and get a little privacy when needed. The yard was nicely done, pool was much nicer than I would have expected in September, and I look forward to staying there when we go back again.

Relaxing on the River
We were in town for a family Thanksgiving at our son and his wife’s home. The house in a great location along the river and close proximity to all the amenities of Georgetown. The house is super comfortable and clean and it felt like home away from home. We were even able to cook items for the thanksgiving dinner. We would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend.

Perfect Escape for our long weekend
This place has it all! Upon arrival, the house was clean, cool and inviting. We like to cook our meals and everything we needed to cook and serve was available. And then some! The pool and deck view is relaxing and we enjoyed being outside with our doggies. In the evening, there was plenty of room to kick back and enjoy a movie. Beds were amazing and we slept so comfortably! The host was friendly and amazing to work with the whole time. We loved this property. We hope to be back in the future.

Fantastic property
One of the best properties we’ve visited in Texas. Great views, very well maintained and clean home, nice town square 10 minutes away. A very, very well-cared for rental. And we were visited daily by a herd of deer that laid on the front lawn each morning. They watched us as much as we watched them. Absolutely recommend!

5 stars is not enough!
Hands down the best VRBO we’ve stayed in. Everything was top notch, from the utensils to the beds to the furniture to the outdoor vegetation…just really couldn’t find a fault anywhere. It’s the first time we’ve stayed in one of these where we actually felt like we were in a true home. Has a true dog safe fence, our pups are tiny any gap off the ground is a potential flight risk but we didn’t have to worry about that here. And a definite mention is the running trails literally just a few streets over from the home. We are already planning a return trip!

Just plain remarkable!
This home is a dream come true! I thought the pool feature would be the top highlight, but it was simply a plus in an amazing residence. The home is updated with designer touches. The beds were so comfortable. Everything was immaculate and handy. A perfect location near everything. The host was easily accessible. And to top all this off, we enjoyed the company of deer all day long! There just wasn’t a downside in anything. Highly recommend.

Idyllic Retreat
Elegance and comfort combine with a whimsical backyard overlooking the San Gabriel river to create an idyllic retreat. Although only a short drive from downtown Georgetown, interstate access, and shopping, this location feels removed from the stresses of life. Our family was able to listen to birds, watch deer every night, and even spy a gray fox one evening while enjoying the relaxing outside areas. Less than a mile walk away is Chandler park if you want to visit the river more closely. Modern conveniences were available: fast internet, access to TV, and connection to streaming services (via your personal login). Our check in process was seamless. Amy, the host, was a delight to work with, communicating everything clearly and in a timely fashion. The three rooms are comfortable as are the common areas. Everything was spotlessly clean! I whole heartedly recommend this rental for a small family gathering!
