This house was amazing for our girls group! There was plenty of space, and several even had beds to themselves. Beds were comfortable, and house was roomy and well stocked with plenty of towels and kitchen items. Kitchen is very open and has tons of counter space (a necessity with a large group!) Deck area has 4 tables and abundant seating. Owner met us shortly after we checked in and he was very helpful to give us some tips on the house and river. The river access is easy and quick to get in and out. Even with the water levels lower due to dam break and drought, the area off the dock was very deep and easy to hook up a group of floats. I recommend bringing lots of rope, and caribeeners to clip everyone together. We tied to the tree on the bank, and the owner had an anchor that we used to anchor the other side of the group towards the middle so we didn’t ever hit the bank. Worked perfectly!!! River area does get some Sun but also has lots of shade for those who wanna float away from sun. The river outfitters is about 4 houses up and they said they would have picked us up and returned us to our house (or we could’ve entered or exited at our house to do either the upper float or the lower float). We didn’t end up paying for a float (bc flow was slow), but we may utilize them next year. Grocery store is a few minutes away and there is a great Hunts Brothers Pizza in the Chevron Station about 4 miles away. We will definitely return to this house again for our annual float trip!

Loved the property

My family of 3 adults and 3 young children stayed for a short weekend . The house was clean & contained had more than enough room for all. The kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed for cooking. The outdoor deck and large yard provide shade from the sun, and we enjoyed being outdoors; swimming & watching tubers float by. Joyce is a terrific host and was quick to respond when I had a question.

We enjoyed our stay at Ponderosa! Great house with everything you would need. Owners were super to communicate with and showed us around at check in.

Great place to stay for people of all ages and being on the river is amazing..

This was the perfect home for a long getaway weekend! We had a group of 9 guys, all had their OWN beds, on the most perfect spot on the river you could ask for. House and grounds were maintained and presented very nicely. Can't wait to come back here again with the family and more friends! Thanks so much.

Great river front property! All dishes and cooking utensils you need for dinning is provided. Very comfortable house for a large group. 3 grandkids caught their first fish! Wonderful memories for all.

We absolutely adored the location of this property. It is on a beautiful part of the Guadalupe River. The house was clean, the beds were super comfortable, and the kitchen contained all the cookware, dishes and utensils you could need. Our party consisted of 4 teenage boys and 2 adults. We were all very pleased to learn that the house had cable television. So, we were able to watch football over the weekend. Robert met us for check-in and gave us an informative tour of the house and property. He even offered suggestions of local eateries and attractions. We were very pleased with this rental!!

Great property, good amenities, and really nice owners who pay attention to details often overlooked at other rental properties.

I put together a pre wedding trip here bachelor/Bachelorette trip and we had an amazing time. The house was absolutely beautiful, Well taken care of. The owners where super nice and easy going. This house is in a neighborhood with neighbors but they didn't bother us, even being out on the deck late at night. We used the BBQ pit to smoke some chicken on which worked great as well. There's a tube company walking distance from the house so that was convenient as well.

First of all this place is amazing! The home is located just after one of the crossings and the view from the patio is gorgeous. The river is about 6 foot deep in front of the house and a rock bull head to fish off of. The beds were ok and Tamra was great to work with. Check in and check out are very easy. We are definitely renting here again, we had absolutely no issues.

Great house on the river! Spacious and had everything you would need. The porch was our favorite hangout! Management great and on call. Would definitely return with kids and grandkids.

This was our second time staying here and the location is great! But the new signature documents were a big pain this time. Great memories made.

Everything went wonderful. We had no issues. It was a great experience.

We have now stayed at Little Ponderosa twice. The layout of the home is so functional. The number of beds are very accommodating. We love the fishing wall on the river. It is a great place to swim as well. The deck is very large and enjoyable. The home has always been clean and ready to receive us. We love it here. 💖💖💖💖💖

We love this house. We’ve stayed here several times, and will continue too. The neighbors are awesome and helpful with information. We had no issues with anyone. The Management Team was very helpful as well. I was able to contact them with questions at any given time, and they would respond quickly. Thank you!!

This was an awesome place to stay. There was 10 of us and we had plenty of room. Caught lots of fish and enjoyed the deck and fire pit. The kitchen was big and fully stocked . Lots of cold air and everything we needed was there. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and we would like to stay there again soon. We have rented lots of houses and this was the best we have ever stayed in.!!!

This was our second year to stay at this beautiful place and the owner are very helpful with all your needs and questions! Thank you for another great year making memories with our grandkids!! The Cowlings

We love the location. It’s great to be able to fish, sit on the patio, enjoy the river and watch the wildlife.

The house was beautiful, clean, comfortable and in a wonderful location. My only complaint would be about the appliances. The microwave didn't work. The fridge didn't get very cold. The oven doesn't bake thoroughly and the smoke alarm didn't work. We were traveling with a fireman, who just happens to always check the smoke alarms. :)

The house is perfect! Excellent sleeping arrangements. The patio and backyard are great! Easy access to the river and extremely friendly owners.

The house was beautiful and loved that the owners had other activities for us to use, like extra fishing poles. Really enjoyed being on the water.

This house was very clean, the owners were great! The house was awesome! The deck was great, very spacious and the view was great. We will definitely rent again. A great family vacation for our bunch!

The house was wonderful. View was gorgeous, patio was a perfect place for everyone to hang out and relax. We enjoyed the fire pit too!

This home is perfect for family or friends get away. Everything you see in the pictures are better in person. My cousins (7) ladies had a blast to floating on the river, taking family photos, Building a fire and roasting marshmallows and so much more. Location is wonderful. If you have a chase to stay here you will not regret it. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

We enjoyed staying at this property. It is nicely maintained and has also you need for a relaxing getaway with the family. Joyce and her husband were always responsive whenever we had a question or needed anything. Definitely recommend this property!

This was the first time for our family to gather for a river outing. We found the “Little Ponderosa” to be a unique home in a lovely location with warm, helpful owners. Family meals on the deck; fishing; tubing; and kayaking offered something for everyone! Quiet conversations around the outdoor fire pit were a great way to reconnect. We look forward to returning in the future.

We spent our Thanksgiving at this wonderful home and it was the most peaceful stay we have ever experienced. From the moment we booked our vacation, the details and communications were over-the-top, and we never had any doubts about the process and expectations of our stay. The property owners were so sweet and their beautiful home is the perfect setting to get away from every day life. Their home was immaculately clean, everyday essentials were provided, the beds were so comfortable and the scenery was peaceful and amazing. We have shared our experience with our friends and cannot wait for our next visit there.

We had a great stay! We made many memories and the place was amazing. This house is very clean and cozy. We enjoyed our breakfasts out on the big deck over looking the river. And the steps in and around the river are perfect. My daughter caught her first fish on her own and the water was amazing. We relaxed on some tubes on the Crystal clear water and we had ducks visiting us in the mornings also. Not to mention the tame deer walking around. Just a great place to get away and yet not too far from anywhere at the same time. The property managers were outstanding and made everything easy for us and we were already planning our return before we left! 110% recommend. You won’t regret it!

The location was great to do day trips in and around New Braunfels. We had 6 adults and 4 children, i.e., ages 9 months, 2, 3 & 4 yr. old. The back deck outside was perfect to let them play outside with plenty of room to spare!! Any questions we had were answered very promptly. Highly recommend staying here!! We will be back next year!!

Property manager was amazing and available at all times. Location is prime. Tube rental right down the road. You can get shuttled up river and float to the house. Or put in at the house and float down to get picked up. Amazing property!!

Ten of my friends and I had an absolutely fantastic time at this property. The house it very spacious and the outside areas are the best! We spent the majority of our time out on the huge deck and down by the water, Wich was a great spot to fish. Can't wait to go back!
