About this cabin rental
Welcome to the Honeymoon Cabin at the The Guadalupe River Road Retreat! We have three additional cabins (VRBO codes 7914761, 9451823, and 2016286) sharing six beautiful acres of Guadalupe river frontage, where guests are free to wander the park like setting under the shade of majestic oaks, pecans, and cypress trees. Enjoy fantastic views of the Guadalupe river from cabin decks and bench swings, take a nap in a hammock, relax and cook smores at our firepits, or play tennis day or night on our newly resurfaced tennis court, and of course spend time in and on the river!
Our retreat differs from many of the rental options on the river. We cater to families, couples, reunions and small groups who want a tranquil environment and wish to avoid the rowdy crowds and party cabins. We limit group sizes to what the cabins can comfortably accommodate, and we enforce our property rules regarding day guests, loud music, and disorderly conduct. If you are looking for an oasis on the river, a place where you can have fun but also relax in comfort, peace, and privacy, Guadalupe River Road Retreat is the place for you!
General info.
The Guadalupe River Road Retreat is located at 8910 River Road between the second and third crossing, halfway between Gruene and Canyon Lake, and is accessible via an electric gate (code provided upon booking).
We have two river access points, a concrete dock with steps down, or via a natural path down to a sitting area under the canopy of two massive cypress trees. Across the river from the property is a unique limestone expanse carved by the river where guests frequently enjoy hanging out, playing in the water, and watching the toobers float by.
There are multiple river outfitters within a short distance of the property, with the closest being Mountain Breeze which is less than a quarter mile from our access gate.
Gruene Texas, famous for its shops, restaurants, and the historic Gruene Dance Hall, is only nine miles (15 to 20 minutes south of our location). Sattler, where guests can find a small grocery store, gas, and other necessities, is only five miles (approximately 13 minutes) to the north.

Spectacular 6 acres on a perfect stretch of river. Carlton and Laura are exceptional people - you are family from moment they meet you at the gate into their painstakingly maintained property, and they go out of their way to make your stay at their family place special. Sit in the river or in a hammock in the shade or by the firepit. And don’t miss all the fireflies at dusk! The best place imaginable by the river for a quick or a long getaway. Play with Abby the border collie, and if you’re lucky, go on a walkabout with the fancy geese. Your cabin will be spotless and even stocked with a few essentials (s’mores). Wish we could’ve stayed for a week or two. We are staying here from now on. Seriously, this place is the best and so are the owners.

We had an incredible experience, even before our arrival. The hosts were exceptional, with communication, tips, instructions and super attentive in all ways possible and the cabin was just perfect for a weekend away. It was a surprise for my husband and he was certainly fascinated, with the peace, river access, and great location - Highly recommended.

If you're looking for a quiet get away look no further. Quaint, beautiful and roomy home for 2 with full kitchen and walk-in shower. And don't forget to bring your tubes and river chairs. The calming waters of the Guadalupe await you out the back porch and a short walk down the stone steps for easy access to and a relaxing day on the river. There are also plenty of chairs to sit in just above the river bank. Enjoy your meals on the large back porch while watching the birds at the bird feeders and listening to the flow of the river below. There's plenty of room to take a walk around the beautiful tree covered property. And the wildlife come out at night! While enjoying supper on the porch we saw 2 foxes, a raccoon, and later a group of deer who come out to feed at night. Owners Laura and Carlton are also raising some ducks you can even enjoy visiting with up close. If you need anything during your stay, Laura and Carlton are just a stone's throw away on the property. If they don't have what you need or forgot, they can tell you where to get it nearby. They were great and friendly hosts. So glad we found this beautiful place. We will definitely be going back again and again.

Little piece of paradise
Warm welcome by hosts including detailed information about the property and area. Cell service is not great but WiFi provided was excellent. The cleanest rental we have been to, and we have been to dozens this year. The wildlife on the property made it feel like you were in your own animal sanctuary. Water access was perfect, but the property also allowed tons of shade. Beautiful spot for morning coffee and a day full of fun on the river. We already want to come back!

Great little cabin on River Rd.
This has the perfect place on the River. Great stay. Will be back. The only problem was the shower. It was a little comical trying to take a shower. It would be difficult for a bigger person. Thanks Carlton for sharing your place on the River !

Absolutely beautiful!
The owners of the property were a dream to work with. They provided us with everything we needed while leaving us alone to enjoy all the beauty. It is very cozy and simple while everything you need is provided. If you have never been down to the Hill country, the river, hills and scenery are quite breathtaking. I strongly encourage you to go stay with them as we are already planning ours again. Thanks again Laura and Carlton!

It was a little hard to find, but once we did it was awesome.
Nice, clean, beautiful area with animals of all kinds around. Then you had the river just down the backside of the property. It was so relaxing we really had a nice time.

I can’t imagine more friendly or gracious hosts. The bathroom was a little too small for us , but being able to sit in the shade by the river made up for everything.. we would definitely go back if they had a little larger place

If I could give more then five stars, I would!!!
I honestly cannot say enough about Carlton and Laura as hosts. The communication is above and beyond the best I have every experienced through renting a property. Carlton sent excellent detailed instructions on how to locate the property as well as the gate code a couple of days prior to our arrival. He met us at the gate and escorted us to our cabin. He walked us through the details of the land, and then let us enjoy the cabin. The location is perfect. Literally steps down to the beautiful Guadalupe River. They have a hammock and chairs set up for you to enjoy the view. Specials touches are provided such as mosquito repellant, and fresh flowers. They have all the "basics" as well. Toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags, hand soap, kleenex, ect. I'm sure I am forgetting something, but we did not have to purchase anything besides plastic cups - only because we didn't want to wash any dishes. We had a nice relaxing trip. And were able to Uber into Gruene one evening with no difficulties. Oh! Carlton also drove us up the river to put in and we floated back down to the cabin. There is a little grocery store in a small town about 10 minutes away- or New Braunfels/Gruene area is about 20 minutes away. Also, do not be concerned about the Murphy bed. It was just as comfortable as a regular bed. And all the windows have shutters to block out the early morning light. I really have no complaints, and would not hesitate to recommend!
