About this Property

What you'll experience:

Step out your back door, and you're at the Guadalupe River, ready to wade in, float, or just dangle your feet off the bank while the current rolls by.

  • Riverfront Access - The river sits steps from the house, so tubing, wading, or a quiet float is never more than a few minutes away.

  • Wraparound Deck and Firepit - Gather the group for late nights, good drinks, and better stories under the stars.

  • Private River-View Deck - Watch rainbow trout, cranes, and turtles share the water right in front of you.

  • Hammock and Yard Games - Settle into the slow, laid-back pace that makes this Hill Country stretch feel like a world away.

  • Tubing Headquarters - Quick access to nearby shuttles, outfitters, and river floats means you just show up and go.

This is a house built around the water, not one that happens to be near it. Between the deck, the firepit, and the river itself, there's a reason to be outside from morning until the stars come out.

Why we love it for your group getaway:

  • Sleeps the Whole Crew - 2 queen master suites plus a bunk room with 4 bunk beds keep everyone together under one roof.

  • Full Kitchen and BBQ Grill - Cook a big group breakfast or fire up the grill for an evening cookout without leaving the house.

  • 2 Full Bathrooms - Enough space for everyone to get ready without the morning bottleneck.

  • Rustic Yet Stylish Interior - Open-concept layout, smart TVs, high-speed Wi-Fi, and river views from the living room.

  • Washer and Dryer On Site - Pack light and live in your swimsuits, no judgment.

Minimum stay is 1 night at $500/night. Toiletry essentials are provided in both bathrooms, and with a washer and dryer on site, there's no need to overpack for a river weekend.

About the neighborhood

You're tucked along a quiet, tree-lined stretch of River Road in the heart of Texas Hill Country, close enough to everything without giving up the quiet. Canyon Lake is minutes away for boating and fishing, and Whitewater Amphitheater is practically in your backyard for a live show under the stars. When you're ready to venture out, New Braunfels is a short drive away with Gruene Hall, Schlitterbahn, local breweries, and boutique shopping.

Getting around

A car is essential here, and the drive itself is part of the experience: a scenic route down River Road that puts you about an hour from Austin and roughly 40 minutes from downtown San Antonio. New Braunfels and San Marcos are both a short drive away for tubing outfitters, restaurants, and live music whenever you're ready to explore. For a bigger day trip, San Antonio's River Walk is close enough to visit and far enough to feel like a real outing.
