The Hightaway on the Guadalupe
Earlier this year a co-worker recommended The Hightaway on the Guadalupe as a great place to take the family for the weekend. After some online research I proposed the idea to the Larsens and Hansens as a long weekend vacation. Everyone liked the idea, so near the end of April we rented both the Hightaway and the Hightout from the owner, Stephen Hight.
These two houses sit on the bank of the Guadalupe River, north of San Antonio in Center Point, Texas. The furnished accommodations come fully equipped with canoes, inner tubes, life jackets, bbq grill, fire pit, swing set, rope swing, etc, etc. The fact that everything needed was already at the house made for a very relaxing vacation.
We spent most of our time on the water, in the canoes, playing on the rope swing, etc. From campfire s’mores to tubing down the river to throwing a big lizard on Makana, I can safely say that everyone had a great time!
