"The River was cozy, private and pleasant in a safe and lovely pastoral setting.  It was super clean and incredibly well-stocked - better stocked than any short term rental we have ever had, and we have had at least 20 different short term rentals.  Michelle is super friendly, responsive and helpful.  She is the best! Honestly, it felt like a little home away from home after being there for a month." - Roxanne S

Location & Surroundings

This cozy home is ideally situated to help you make the most of your stay in Staples. You’ll be walking distance from a park for relaxing strolls with the whole group. The San Marcos River runs past the town, and it’s known for fly fishing, kayaking, birding and tubing. Just 6 miles away, Martindale is home to several tube rental companies for easy-going afternoons drifting down the river.

 

Spend more time on the water with a trip to Schlitterbahn Waterpark in New Braunfels! The dual park and resort offers 51 attractions over 70 acres, so there’s bound to be fun for the whole family. Come November, the town celebrates its German heritage with the 10-day Wurstfest!
