    We just left The Reservation. What a treasure along the Guadalupe River. We enjoyed the serenity of hill country while we sat under the stars listening to country music, enjoying cold drinks as the cicadas sang along we felt a million miles from nowhere and left our cares behind. As we unlocked the tipi our first response was, "wow!" It was much bigger than we expected. First impressions are just that and it set the tone for our stay. Be sure to read the welcome email so that you know how to open the Tipi and the restroom. The email is well done and has lots of information to help you enjoy your stay. We will be back with friends and family next time. Thanks to Katie and Jessica for helping us enjoy our stay. Here's to next time.

    But have you ever stayed in one of these?

    Guys, the Tipis are different, I love different. I enjoyed taking pictures inside and out. How did they fit all that stuff in there? Two beds, a couch, a sink, small refrigerator, fully stocked kitchen! Nice big TV. Downsides.... Have a seat. Everything is done online. Usually this is a plus; I prefer it, except here. You don't check in, doors have number pads on Tipis and the assigned restrooms are outside. My daughter and I went to go take showers before bed and well we couldn't. I would have taken a dim shower but it was DARK, as our lights were not working. With 3 little ones eating and drinking snacks this was a nightmare after dusk. The property is small, they have a very narrow path to the river with a nice deck but again, super small space, the properties next to us had plenty of running space for my rowdy kids and I let them jump the fence to go play in the playground for the cabins next door. I always say if you follow all the rules, you miss out on all the fun. The office you make arrangements with has a friendly staff. They are human, and make mistakes like the rest of us. I was given the wrong room number because the first room was filthy. I called and they corrected the situation (it was during business hours). I was given a new tipi with a new entry code. Hope they change those often! Key pads are difficult to work with for both the room and restroom. I couldn't get our restroom to lock back up again. Yes, you have to lock up your assigned restroom and shower, they are outdoors. The new room did in fact look clean, the beds were made, but the dishes had either food on them or were dusty as heck, as in creepy house, nobody has been here in years dust. They CHARGE you a cleaning fee on top of your stay so I would have appreciated to have received everything clean. Super glad for nice neighbors, the family who was also staying in a tipi on the property, helped out a whole lot. It won't be fun if nobody is there to give you a hand. Kids enjoyed playing ping pong, but I recommend you take your own balls. The game room is very nice that was a definite plus. It's like a tree house game room. Not fancy enough for mommy, I like scenery, and not doing dishes. There is not enough to do for my 3 Rowdy Kids. Indoor play is not our thing no matter how nice the game room is. Once is enough, at least I can say I've been.

    Refreshing, took in the morning. This is tipi #8 at the end of the row

    Stayed here with my girlfriend just recently. Can not wait to make the trip back here, when we stayed we had the whole premise to ourself and it was so quiet and peaceful out especially at night. We stopped by to get firewood from the local hardware store down the road for cheap to use in the fireplace, we made sure to bring stuff to barbecue with on the big grill, had plenty of beverages and it was a good time. Our only issue really with the place was the temperature of the bathrooms and trying to watch the TV at night, it was a lot colder in the bathroom than outside so I would recommend bringing a space heater if you're visiting during the cooler season and when you need to watch TV you need to select the HDMI option not the streaming options even though they're available it works best with local cable. The town itself is just as calm as it looks, every local we ran into was just so friendly. It was a nice refresher being here after spending a lot of time in the rush of the big city and able to slow down and enjoy the calmness. We had initially wanted to ride a canoe or something when we went to visit but that ended up being a lot more harder to set up than we expected and could've been due to visiting 'off season' so we just had to leave that for our next visit. The bed was cozy, you could literally sleep all day and not even realize it due to no windows in the tipi so adds to the extra coziness. Overall, loved it here and will make another trip to come out

    Really great experience here for the weekend. Came into town for a show at Whitewater Amp and selected the tipi for a unique experience. I absolutely loved the all electronic booking process! Everything was seamless. They provide your access code on their app the day of your reservation. Everything in our tipi was nice and comfortable. Nothing was extravagant- think about where you're staying : tipi near the river... comfortable and clean beds, actually very nice bathrooms although they are separate from your immediate area. But don't worry if you wake up in the middle of the night and need the restroom because it is very well lit. Keep in mind you will have a mini fridge and a 2 burner cooktop in the kitchen area. If you want to cook I'd suggest using the grills outside. Each grill had a scraper (? The thing you clean it with) , tongs and spatula provided! Big fire pit. Lots of chairs and a hammock to enjoy the outdoors. The river is down the path a little bit. Great time and would definitely suggest a stay if you are already coming to town.

    This place was great but wish we could have been able to get on the river and float it from the property. However we drove down to Maricopa and parked to get on and rode the horse shoe and when you get off at White Water it's only a ten minute walk back to car. The bathrooms were better than I expected. Staff responds to text immediately!!! It was great and relaxing and lucky for us everyone who was staying there at the same time as us were not loud or crazy at all. I expected kids next door to be loud and wake us up before I was ready to get up but that didn't happen and the tipi stays pitch black until you turn lights on so you can sleep in as late as you want with no sun peaking in.

    Cute idea. Came here on a girls trip. It was all families with children, so we had to be cautious of that. The tipi we stayed in was very close to the neighboring tipi. We could hear everything they said or did in their tipi, along with everything going on outside, so I'm sure they heard us laughing late at night. The beds were surprisingly comfortable and the tipi and bathrooms were very clean. I wouldn't recommend this for a girls trip, but I would for a family with kids.

    Lovely setup. Great for a quick weekend get away. Super private and secure. Waiting for the day tomorrow, we got here during twilight.

    Just left this place this morning. Tipis are much larger inside than they appear from the outside. We stayed in tipi number 7. In our tipi there were two queen beds and one sofa. Some of the other tipis have 3 beds no sofa. Each can sleep up to 6 people. Sink and a larger size mini fridge are inside. Each tipi has their own fire pit, grill, a lot of patio furniture around the fire pit, and a hammock. Had an awesome night last night grilling and chilling by the fire. If you forget anything for your stay don't worry! There is a grocery store called Lowe's about a mile away. Kitchens are stocked with dishes and cooking utensils. AC unit and a heater inside. They have a bathroom and shower (separate from your tipi) assigned to each tipi number. Ours was right next to our tipi. You'll get a code when checking in (which is via email - they don't have an office on site) that email gives you your code for your tipi and a code for the bathroom/shower that goes with your tipi. This is your shower/bathroom for the duration of your stay. No one else will have access to yours, they'll have their own. They were nice. There is even a little walk way to the Guadalupe River from where the tipis are. Our only complaint - behind tipi 7.. rooster(s)!! Not sure if this is a regular occurrence but if you're a light sleeper, you may want to pick a different tipi. Overall we had an incredible time! We will be back when it's warmer and can float the river. We also will be bringing more people with us next time!!

    Stuck at the bottom of the river because they decided to fix the stairs which is the only way up.

    The Tipis are bigger than expected, but it is not the cleanest. We arrived at 3:30 and the tipi and restroom were not ready until about 4:45. We only received two clean sheets and two pillow cases which we used for the dirty pull out couch. The sheets on the bed smelled like weeks and weeks of strangers sleeping on the same blankets and pillow cases. I did not want to even cover myself with them. The tipi was also just sprayed by pest control which left the strongest chemical smell that was unbearable. We called the office and didn't get a call back till the next day around 2:00pm. When we finally did get that call back more stuff had happened which made the experience worse. We walked down to the river and decided to spend the day down there when we first arrived. Next thing you know these two men start working on the stairs which is the only way back up. We couldn't believe we were not told about the constructions. The men told us the stairs where not going to be able to be used for a few hours. We were stuck down by the river. We asked them how long would we have to wait and they advised us to go through the neighbors yard which clearly had "No trespassing" signs posted everywhere. When I finally spoke to the manager about everything he apologized and said he was going to send us a machine to get rid of the smell as well as a gift card for breakfast for our troubles. We let him know we would be leaving to go do another activity, so I asked him to please leave the machine outside because I didn't want someone in our tipi with out us being there. WELL they didn't listen to that request. When we got back someone was in our room and placed the machine in there and turned it on. Call back today about the gift card.... let's just say they didn't keep their word. It is now 11:09. We called them at 9:00am and still no call back. NEVER AGAIN! HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!

For this trip, we didn't want to go out a lot, so we took our own food. There are multiple grills (gas and wood) on property, and a mini fridge in the room, as well as cold drawers in the cabana! It was a little cool still, so we opted out of swimming, but the pool is very nice and shaded from the harsh summer sun that's just around the corner.

And what a huge 2 story 2 bedroom cabin-like unit! They only have 2 bedroom units at this resort so it was that or nothing. This resort is perfect for families. I was travelling by myself so it was more than enough space for me. At times, I was a little scared to be in the unit alone so I left the lights on during the night. Anyway, I'm part of the bold and fearless "CS" cult (inside joke for those who know LOL) so I did overcome my fears. If the unit wasn't so dang big... my fears would not have creeped up in the first place LOL. Check-in was a breeze. Staff was very pleasant and friendly. I had some wonderful conversations with Amy (concierge) and Lauren (manager)... thank you both for a very warm welcome. Got my unit key and drove over to Building 9 Unit 1024. The unit had two entrances which I thought was odd... I only used one of them. Bottom floor had the spacious living room, fantastic full kitchen, nice dining area, wonderful master bedroom with king bed + full bath, good size laundry room, and quaint guest restroom. Upstairs had the 2nd bedroom with queen bed and its respective bathroom, and a pleasant loft sitting area. Overall, the unit had great space and was very comfortable. I primary stayed downstairs since I didn't have any use for the upstairs. I also signed up for another WM owner's update even though I had already attended 2 WM owner's updates during my Texas trip thus far... but hey, if they offer it, I will be more than happy to entertain it... I think owners are allowed to attend as many as they want... at least that's what I've been informed. Any chance to get the owner in the door with sales, it's another opportunity for them to get a sale. Ken and Clint (sales folks) are very good at what they do and I commend them. They almost got me to buy more WM credits, but no cigar! Thank you Ken and Clint for your time and efforts (literally 3+ hours, but it was all good... didn't even feel like 3+ hours... we must have been having a lot of fun conversations LOL)! I appreciate you both for trying. And thanks for the gift! I was only here for 2 nights which was plenty for me. This location is very close to the famous town called Gruene. I spent my 2nd day walking around Gruene which I will do separate reviews for it. Would I stay at this resort again? YES I WOULD, but hopefully next time I will have more company with me so we can use the whole space rather than some space. Happy Worldmark'ing!

The rooms are beautifully done and we didn't have any other issues but this one was a big deal and I asked management to contact me and no one did. I even felt like they were put out when we asked the front desk to change our sheets. I always pull my sheets back to check beds cause I'm weird like that. And this time there was blood spatter all over where your feet would be. I couldn't tell if it was fresh or stained but it was nasty. It even ruined a romantic evening when we discovered this. We took photos and videos and gave it to the front desk guy and I asked for someone to contact me. No one even apologized. And they weren't really shocked so it's obviously a common thing. Maybe they were just stained but either way looked like a murder scene lol. I'm not sure if we will stay here again because of it. I'm sharing in case it happens again or so they can fix the issue. White sheets should be white. No blood stains in a nice hotel. I'd expect that at a cheap motel but not a worldmark. I would like to say it's a great location and the employees were friendly. They will try to get you to go to a sales presentation and it's worth it to learn and get a freebie! The game room is fun and the pool was nice. I used the gym a lot as well. It's nice but some of the machines do not have plugs so that's strange.
