About this house rental

A picturesque waterfall runs across this quiet stretch of the Guadalupe River, creating a perfect place for wading on one side, and for exploring or just putting our lawn chairs in the river and relaxing on the other side. The location is perfect for using our kayak, and you can tube right out our back door. A favorite pastime is watching the river go by from the three-tiered, large riverside flagstone patio. It is also a wildlife magnet, with osprey and heron fishing here. Oh, and so do the fly fishermen, as this trophy section of the river is stocked with trout from November through February directly across the river. All of this can be enjoyed from the brand-new sunroom and deck outside of this charming, well-appointed, and recently remodeled house with all of the creature comforts. The many activities of Canyon Lake, Gruene, and New Braunfels are also just a short drive away.

Tubing, Kayaking, and Fishing: Tubing: This is a great section of the river to launch your tubing trip. No need to rent a tube, just drive up river and float down to the house or toob the horseshoe, which is just a couple of miles from the house (see our guide in the house for more information)....Kayaking: The river is usually at a level such that paddling upstream is quite easy, even for the kids. Then you can float back effortlessly toward the house. We provide a two person kayak with paddles and life jackets....Fishing: Fishing is a popular pastime on the Guadalupe, and the waterfall in our backyard is a popular spot for fish and anglers alike. Both the Texas Parks and Wildlife and Guadalupe River Trout Unlimited stock the river with trout between November and February, and the fish thrive in the cool waters of the Guadalupe, which was recently voted one of the top 100 trout streams in the US.

Very comfortable, cozy home in a good location to some Trout fishing spots down stream. The water by the spillway is cloudy due to silt but improves up stream. There are steps to take to get to the river but the added railing helped us seniors handle them with more ease. The large trees shade the back yard mostly so able to enjoy the outside even in the heat of summer. The house has everything you need and then some. It can easlily accommadate six adults if needed. The only negative was a too soft mattress in one bedroom and the need for light filtering shades in the west facing windows in the sunroom to help keep that room cooler. A few good local restaurant recommendations are Wildflour Grill and Elio's Pizzeria. Enough nearby towns offer more choices in shopping and restaurants. Would recommend this home for any adult get aways.

Returned for another stay at this honeymoon the Guadalupe! We love it! Cute town, close to neighboring towns like Gruene and Wimberly for shopping, and spent SO much time in the beautiful sun room.

We had such a good time at this home in June, we decided to do one more trip! Home is nice, comfy, and clean, but honestly we’re here for the river and the outside space is primo! Thank you!

This place never disappoints. It is a great place to rejuvenate the mind, body and soul from city life. The serenity and beauty are just incredible. There is no better way to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature than by sitting on one of the decks with your coffee before the sun comes up and watching it go down in the evening. We love watching the deer in the field across the street from the house and if you look hard enough you can see them in the thicket across the river. There are plenty of squirrels to watch play among the trees and we were so excited to see 3 foxes this year across the river. Absolutely beautiful. We LOVE the new railing put in place to assist those who need help getting up and down the stairs to the water. Great update. Looking forward to another trip here. This is our favorite Guadalupe River go to spot in Texas Hill Country.

This was our first river trip and we could not have picked a better place to stay. It was beautiful. I have had several people message me on the side for the link because they loved the pics of the home I posted online. The manager always replies quickly and we had no issues with our stay. We hopefully plan to come back and stay in same house
