About this house rental
Beautiful and fully appointed A-Frame house on the bank of the Trinity River. Relax, chill, fish, play... On the Trinity River! Alpen Glow is a wonderful, pet-friendly cabin that has an extraordinary deck overlooking the river. The railings are see-through with stainless steel cable horizontals to optimize the view.
The huge kitchen is fully appointed. Pretty much, if it doesn't have it, you don't need it. There is a large pantry with many basics. There is dining for 8-10 (if approved; Alpen Glow is priced for up to 7 guests).
The large living room has 30-foot ceilings, an electric fireplace that provides pleasant heat and is stunning to watch, an extensive library, flat panel TV with Dish TV and DVD player with a large library of movies.
The very large leather sectional features a recliner and a comfortable hide-a-bed, so extra guests can sleep there and not on the futon in the master loft, which gives everyone more privacy.
Alpen Glow has Wi-Fi, cable TV and a (shared) land line phone with free long distance. Wi-Fi has been a stumbling block for us here because we've had limited suppliers and options but Fall 2017 we finally got access to unlimited fast streaming and we jumped immediately. The cabin has all kinds of sleeping areas, including two lofts (one is an enormous master loft with a CalKing bed and in-room Jacuzzi tub. Its closets are so large, we even put a twin bed in one of them). There is one traditional bedroom with a queen bed and a twin bed and the leather sectional in the living room has a queen hide-a-bed in it as well as room for another sleeper on the other side of the couch. Yes, it is THAT big! More details below:
The lofts are open, but do not look on each other. The spacious Master Loft has a California King log bed with an organic memory foam topper, wood stove, Jacuzzi tub in room (not an outdoor hot tub; a bathing tub), queen futon and a private bath (toilet & shower; double vanity).
The River Loft log bed looks out over the river, mountains and sky. The traditional bedroom on the main floor has a handsome wrought iron queen bed with pillowtop mattress and a twin bed.
There's a mud room that's great for drying gear. The mud room has an additional pantry, washer and dryer, plus a deep sink.
Alpen Glow has an enormous deck overlooking the Trinity River, mountains and trees. Year-round, this is a favored spot for guests.
There is a shared BBQ patio on the upriver side of Alpen Glow, but the majority of the cabin focuses on the river and guests rarely see other cabins' guests unless they go out of their way.
Birdsong is so abundant, it boggles the mind. There is salmon and trout fishing at the cabin, plus a swimming hole. Wonderful ponds nearby are warmer than the river in summer, and fun for calm water swimming and playing with your dogs.
A log swing and comfy chairs are all around the 1.15 acre lot that is shared by 2 other cabins, each unique in its own right and private from each other, but close enough you can rent all for a large group, as many family reunions in summer and fishing groups in winter do.
There are no other properties on the Trinity River that equal this location. It really does have everything.

Great location for a great away from the norm. Fishing was great and was only about 100 feet from the back porch. Spacious and comfortable. A return visit will happen.

Fishing the river from the house was a blast.
8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2025
We were so excited for this cabin on the river and the outside did not disappoint. Beautiful view, steps to the river, pet friendly, wrap around deck. Our experience was that the cabin needed a deep clean on the inside: walls, floors, bathrooms, kitchen, etc. The upstairs loft area is not separate rooms, but rather a large open space with multiple beds and an oddly placed bath tub. This was not deterring for my family but for those looking to share a cabin, and not a room, it’s worth noting. Our communication with the host was pleasant and easy with a quick response. A really good deep clean would’ve made our experience something we’d rate as five stars and return for. It really is such a beautiful property.
6 / 10Average·Sep 2025
Rustic cabin, great location. What’s not mentioned in the listing is this cabin is on shared property with two other cabins, the driveway and parking are shared. A driveway to the next cabin goes through the car port of this cabin. Backyard is shared and not private from other cabins. The refrigerator does not work, coffee pot does not work, it takes over an hour to brew a pot. Only one roll of toilet paper was left for a two night stay in a house that sleeps 7. Bedding is old and there are minimal other linens such as bath or hand towels. This could be a decent place but the maintenance/up keep is extremely lacking.
