A walk in the river is always more fun if you wear river shoes or tennis shoes. You are less likely to slip and fall…and everyone falls at one time or another! By the way, we own only to the middle of the river. So please keep your exploring to the house side. |

| There is a wonderful area we call "The Slab". It is a large limestone escarpment with small rapids and "tubs" to sit in. Enjoy a picnic away from the house, a relaxing soak, or a fun excursion looking for minnows, frogs, and other neat critters. On your picnics, use only plastic, paper, or metal containers and dispose of trash at the house. Also use the portable pit to roast your hot dogs. This area is often under a burn ban. |
| The Luck of the Draw was a most memorable family outing...The perfect place to get your head cleared out the stars really ground you back to earth...We all had the times of our lives... |
| ...We are fans of modern architecture, and enjoyed the simple beauty of the house. And the view of the shallow river and cliff side is extraordinary. You have a special piece of land. The cabin was also perfect for our little toddler (one story, easy to get around, safe). She must have made a 100 little circuit loops past the fireplace and through the bedroom, giggling the entire time. . It was too cold for swimming, but just throwing pebbles into the water was more than enough entertainment for her. My favorite was seeing the sunset make the cliff side glow... The light inside the cabin is wonderful... |
| My parents and brothers and sister from New England stayed at Luck of the Draw and were delighted. This was their first visit to the Hill Country and Luck of the Draw gave them a wonderful spot to enjoy the beauty of the Upper Guadalupe and spend some quiet time between the wedding going's on.You have a wonderful place and I truly appreciate that you extended yourself for us opening early on Saturday. |

...We had a wonderful time this past
weekend at Luck of the Draw. Your house
is perfect, so simple, light, and airy! Cold as
it was, we couldn't resist the draw of the
Guadalupe River, and ended up drenched
and laughing until we cried!...Most of the
time, though, we just enjoyed the peace of
the place. The soothing sound of the river
running was the perfect backdrop for
relaxing. You are indeed blessed to have
such a sanctuary, and you bless others by
sharing it...

| Playing in the rapids at the "Slab". |
| The river was wonderful – the mornings spectacular. It was probably one of the best times I have had with the kids in ages. Thank you again for the use of your home – it was just what the doctor ordered. Take care and I hope we get to spend some time again at LOD. |
...we were expecting a nice rental, but all of our jaws dropped as
we stepped in the front door. It's beautiful ...
