'Serenity On The San Gabriel' Pet-Friendly! Riverfront! Kayaks! Bikes!

'Serenity On The San Gabriel'- 4br/2.5ba riverfront house with a fully-equipped kitchen, two dining areas (plus a kidsā€™ table), two living spaces and a laundry room. Enjoy luxurious linens, comfy beds, Smart TVs, salon-quality shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Outside are large oak trees, hammocks, dining table, multiple seating areas, a large playset, tree swing, and kayaks provided for playing in the San Gabriel river. Same-day bookings!

'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.

Five stars for this house and property. The house was well furnished, the property is in a gorgeous setting with oaks, river, and deer which you can watch from the large deck. Would definitely rent this again for the next visit!

So beautiful and Quiet
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. Itā€™s a must see!!

This house was the perfect place for our stay. Perfectly appointed and updated, fantastic back deck with visits from numerous deer by the river, clean and comfortable. The location was great and allowed us to easily access the walking trail. Love this property! Thank you to everyone who made our stay an unforgettable experience.

Home away from home
We loved the home and the location of this property! It felt like a retreat, rather than staying in a big city! Such a unique locationā€”deer meandering through the yard; family kayaking in the river; sitting around the fire, in the swing chairs/hammock; walks on the trail; hanging out in the spacious living areas; making wonderful meals in their amazing kitchenā€”it was THE PERFECT PLACE for our familyā€™s week together!!!

Quick Get Away
We loved the property! The house was fully furnished and clean. The property was amazing, plenty of wildlife to see. Short drive to Kalahari for a day at the water park and shopping at the Domain. We did have an issue with the Kuerig but as soon as I reported it, it was replaced within 24 hours- WOW!

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 šŸ˜€

Excellent!
We enjoyed our stay very much, and were able to enjoy Georgetown easily from this location. It was very nice to return to this home each evening and enjoy the wildlife along the river. Every morning the birds were singing and the deer are everywhere. Overall an excellent property, and well managed with great response from management.

Georgetown TX
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.
