Lawrence Llano River Haus Castell fishing kayaking

The view from the porch and backyard is very beautiful. The listing should clearly state that there is no cellular service at the property. Not telling guests that there is no cell service is not great. 8 people will NOT sleep comfortably in the house. There are 2 full beds, and 1 bunk bed with twin mattresses that are not good. There is also a baby bed that will not fit an adult unless you want to sleep with your feet hanging in the air. No top sheets, blankets not as shown in photos. I suppose sleeping on a couch can be comfortable. In order to have some type of cool air in the back bedroom, the rest of the house had to be set to freezing. River access was very bad and NOT at all as shown in the photos. The 'doc' is 4' above the water. The other 'access' is through 8' tall grass and weeds and is choked with spiked plants. Very unpleasant and not usable for hanging out at all which is the hole point of renting a 'river house'. Please do better with the description.

Nice cabin, beautiful view in the backyard!!

I booked this Airbnb as a bridal suite for my wedding, which was right down the road. Lindsay was great with communicating with me about checking in and all the questions I had. We had multiple people there throughout the day getting ready for the wedding and I made sure it was OK ahead of time. They were a great host and it was a perfect spot for me and my bridesmaids to get ready. Their backyard area leading down to the river was also beautiful. I took some of my getting ready pictures and pre-ceremony pictures with my bridesmaids down there and it was beautiful.

We enjoyed our stay as Llano is a lovely little town 15 min away. But… this home needs a professional deep clean. The en suite bathroom wasn’t cleaned or finished b4 our arrival - there was spit & toothpaste residue & hairs in the sink trap, dirty mirror, no tp on the roll & no liner in the trash bin. Also there is *no wifi & no cellular coverage* (at least by Verizon) so you are on a true, solid no-phone-service holiday. The mattresses are cheap & uncomfortable & led to awful sleepless nights. The “3rd bedroom” is a porch with no weather protection & my daughter froze out there when the weather changed overnight. There are no deadbolts on either door to the outside, just a quarter turn lock that can easily be hip-bumped open. In fact the back door was “unlocked” when we got there bc someone didn’t double check that the lock had engaged. Outdoor furniture down by the river is dirty & mildewed & covered in bird poop so basically unusable. The canoe did have oars though!
