About this cabin rental

Listed as one of "Ten Great Vacation Rentals Vetted by Texas Monthly Writers", this is a peaceful, cozy 1930's waterfront cottage. The expansive back yard leads to your private Guadalupe River (Lake Dunlap) shoreline, ideal for kayaking, paddle-boarding, fishing, swimming, and wildlife viewing. Kayaks and many other amenities are included -- just bring yourselves!

Need more sleeping space? Please inquire about our recently renovated RV on the property, which will accommodate up to 6 guests (Total of 10 guests on the property) for an extra charge.

The cabin is 480 Square feet and built in 1930. A queen, twin, and sofa sleeper allow for a good nights sleep. This is simple studio style therefore all in one room space. A fully stocked kitchen provides the backdrop for a gourmet meal or just BBQ outside in covered BBQ pavilion. Books, Direct TV, WIFI, various DVD's, and board games provide indoor entertainment.

***This being a rustic cabin, it has very little modern day insulation. Please expect that on very hot summer days, the inside temperature may reach the upper 70's, and on very cold nights, may reach the 50's, despite our AC and heaters.***

This area of water is called Lake Dunlap, however the dam broke in 2019, leaving the gently flowing Guadalupe river. Due to extremely limited boat access now, the river is peaceful and quiet, perfect for paddle boarding, swimming, and kayaking. From our dock, the river reaches a depth of 30 feet.

Our dock is large enough for chairs, laying out or running and jumping into the water. We have a grassy “beach type” area in between our backyard and the river. Nearer the cabin, there is a propane grill, a smaller charcoal grill, and a huge offset smoker. All are under a covered pavilion with table and chairs close by.

The back porch and long yard with shady tall trees greet your view of Lake Dunlap. One fire pit with moveable chairs allows for comfort during colder temperatures. Most of your time will be spent here. It's absolutely gorgeous.

This is a great place for pets, but it's not completely enclosed, so bring your leash.

I loved the new two story covered dock with large steps and handrail that makes getting in and out of the lake very easy. The location isn’t secluded but strategic planting of hedges and trees provides privacy for the porch and patio. Owners were easy to reach and responsive.

Quiet and charming. Lake access right out your back door, close to all the major shopping areas. We had a great weekend wish we could have stayed longer. I will be booking this every weekend opprotunity. We usually stay at another area but wanted to try something different and was not dissapointed

Small rustic cabin, but huge property with tons to do. The water level for the river is low and most properties around us couldn't even access the water, but this cabin has great access to the water with a floating pier. Loved our stay there.
