About this house rental
Perched above the banks of the Guadalupe River in Seguin, TX, this bright, updated duplex offers comforts of home with a surplus of amenities, a great location to explore Central Texas. River access through backyard. Fire pit & hammock included. Sleeps 5. *Please note: pricing based on # of guests entered in reservation, so an exact quote depends on accurate guest count.
WATER LEVELS
The water levels depicted in the photos are current. The water has been down for the last several years, but it's not due to drought conditions. The dam that created Lake Placid from the Guadalupe River since 1928, is being repaired because of a failure in October 2021. While it’s now a river (12-15’ lower than when it was a lake), it’s pretty consistent level and flow, despite rainfall, because it’s fed from the bottom of Canyon Lake. The river has a muddy bottom, so plumes of button moss can float downstream and sometimes collect at water's edge, esp during warmer summer months.
The dry lakebed is the limiting factor. Because it’s so extensive, most of it is overgrown, and there are only few paths that folks have cleared to get to the river. The spots you can access are good for fishing, wading, and swimming. It varies from ankle deep at the edge to over 6 feet in the river channel.
If you're looking for a place to kayak and paddleboard, you should check out our other properties, 3 tiny homes about 15 minutes down river: Meadow Lake Retreat (2 houses: Loft and Bunk) and Lake Nolte Retreat (1 house).

We were very impressed with the accommodations. Everything we needed was at our fingertips. The duplex was clean & as shown in the pictures. Great location. Laura sent an online guidebook, so to speak, with restaurants & places of interest, this was definitely a huge help. We will definitely be back!

It was a nice little home away from home. The house was right on the river for us to enjoy some fishing. We caught quite a few small bass and pirch. Our 4 year old son caught his first fish. The house was clean and the perfect size for us to relax on our get away. They even had books and a few toys geared just for our little guy when we were inside. Thank you for having us!

Great find in the heart of the Hill country snuggld between San Marcos, New Braunfels and Greuene. Very peaceful. There was water in the lake. However, we did not swim. The duplex is extremely clean and well-kept and Laura provides everything you really need to enjoy your stay. One suggestion I might make is perhaps putting a screen for the siding glass door that locks in case you have small children, but that way you can feel the breeze come in from the water Thank you so much!

This was a great home base to check out the towns between San Antonio and Austin. And a nice relaxing home to return to at night. Hosts responded quickly to any questions.

We had a pleasant stay but we were visiting family nearby, and only returned to the property to shower and sleep. Beds were comfortable and plenty of blankets, thankfully.

This is a very cute and clean property, stocked with all the essentials and more, plus a convenient location. We were a short drive from both San Antonio and New Braunfels, giving us lots of great options for things to do. The outside area looked like it would be very enjoyable. We did not get the chance to use is sadly because the weather was terrible during our stay. Laura was very quick to respond with any questions we had. Definitely recommend staying here. We hope to come back when the weather is better.

This property backs up to a river, has a nice back deck area, covered parking for one vehicle. The inside has two bedrooms, one bath, laundry, kitchen and den. Very nice, clean and stocked with amenities. Everything is labeled for ease of locating items and storage.
The property owners are a lovely couple and we had wonderful communication with them.
Would definitely recommend staying here!!!

Family members came from Washington, Idaho, and Florida to attend a wedding. The retreat was ideal for our situation. Everything was clean and adequate for our needs. Getting the lake restored will be ideal addition. Loved our time there.

Price was fabulous, house was pretty and clean. Very peaceful, loved the labels on doors and cabinets. Laura was attentive and helpful. My friend was disappointed there was no river/lake to relax by, as she expected from pictures. It was a very relaxing stay nonetheless!

Laura was what every guest dreams of in a host: solicitous, caring, quick follow-up, clear directions, and helpful. She even texted me to demonstrate her gratitude for how we left her home. Everything in the home was clean and while we did not go to the river, we knew that that remained an option. In summary, our stay at Guadalupe River Getaway was incredible! In the words of Shakespeare, "I can no other answer make but thanks, and thanks, and ever thanks!"

This property was really amazing! It was very clean and tidy when we arrived, the AC was a bit hot and when I called the owner, Mrs. Laura, she was very curious and helped me fix it in less than 5 minutes. Overall we were very satisfied and would love to come back.

Everything was great! Exactly as listed on VRBO- however, pictures do not do this place justice- it was beautiful!! We took 6 teenagers & it was a comfortable stay for us all. Everyone enjoyed being on the river & the activities provided. The neighbor was so nice, talked to all the kids and us every day. The owner was very responsive & the check in and out was a smooth process. We will definitely be back!

We hope to be able to go back again. The view was amazing at day and night. With the lighted paths to the water and nice back porch area. It made a very nice place for dining. We enjoyed boating, kayaking and floating the river. Just an overall enjoyable time. The house has all the amenities needed to make your stay comfortable.

Family Fun Getaway
We had an amazing stay at this beautiful home on Lake Placid. I spent the first morning sitting on the deck with a complementary cup of coffee, enjoying the beauty and quiet of the backyard's river view. We had many days of swimming, kayaking, and paddle boarding. My husband and son both enjoyed the fishing, which was helped by the green lights as well as the dear neighbor feeding the fish nightly. The inside of the home is really comfortable with plenty of space, and the owners have thought of everything - there is a full set of dishes and pots and pans for cooking, washer and dryer, entertainment system, and even a stack of puzzles and board if you find yourself without power due to Hurricane Harvey ;) An amazing place to spend a night or several weeks, we'd definitely stay here again!
