Family river fun!

Great location, clean and comfortable house. Would definitely stay there again. Items needing attention… Back sliding door very hard to open and shut. Grill would only heat on low temperature.

It was like being in a Studio Ghibli film

The location is wonderful! I will say, if you're looking for silence, visit during the week rather than the weekend. Not that it was noisy on the weekend, but people tend to come to float down the the river, play music, and BBQ, so it's not gonna be radio silent. Also, pack bug spray!

Perfect spot for a retreat with friends!

This place had it all for a quiet weekend with friends who were looking to catch up, tell jokes, swim in the river a bit, a do some cooking! The kitchen and living room are open concept and perfect for mingling and even with 6 people it didnt feel crowded at all! Planning on coming back with my wife and other friends in the future.

Ponderosa Paradise

We just stay at the Ponderosa Paradise this weekend and it was a great place to vacation. The house was really clean and big. We had 8 adults in the house and there was plenty of room to sleep. The AC worked great and house was very cool. We were only 20 minutes to Gruene Texas. Make sure you go have breakfast at Granny D's cafe it's only 10 minutes from the house. We will come back. One thing for people with young kids to make sure you're with them because backyard is really steep down to river!!

Family Vacation

Our group of 4 Adults. Property was perfect for the 4 of us. Both bedrooms were very comfortable. Showers got as hot as you wanted, and had enough elbow room. Kitchen was large, and well stocked with pots, pans, dishes, utensils etc. Coffee maker is a pot drip style coffee maker, and 3 packs of coffee were left for us to make which was nice. It was really hot while we were here. Over 105 degrees, and A/C kept the home as cool as we wanted it. The big back porch was great for hanging out chatting over drinks. The River was really nice right off the back yard, and we even floated down the river from the back yard 1 day. House is close to grocery store, and most things you would need within 5 minutes or so. Overall a great home for 4 people to visit for a week.

Guadeloupe River Family Weekend

I'd definitely give this stay a 10/10! I come up every July whether I pull my camper up or get a home, and typically try a new place every time but I do believe I'll be booking Ponderosa Paradise again! Easy check in and check out process. Accommodations clean and nice. Location on the river was great!!! Access from the lower porch area to the river not the best, a bit challenging for the older ones BUT the river was low and I'm sure accessibility would have been better with normal water levels. I will most definitely be coming back!! Thank you for a wonderful family getaway

Great house!

We had so much fun! We stayed here for a long weekend with our 2 young kids. We hung out in tubes on the water tied up to the bank. We played card games on the back porch deck overlooking the river. The only negative feedback is how loud River Road is which is no fault of property owners but it was disappointing since everything else was so peaceful.

Relaxing River Getaway

This was exactly what my wife and I needed. I honestly don't remember the last time either of us had been this relaxed. The location is not far from Gruene, which we went to a couple of times during the full week we stayed. There is a grocery store about 6-8 mins up the road that we visited often to replenish our food and drink supply. The rest of the time we hung out on the amazing back deck or went down to get into the river. I fished a few days, didn't catch anything but it was a great view. We would stay here again, for sure.

Ponderosa Peaceful

Three adults over 60 enjoyed the peacefulness of a quiet neighborhood in the off-season. We saw no neighbors. The grounds were shady and decks were nice. The only wish we had was for the absence of traffic noise on River Road. Sound really travels in the river valley. This is a really nice home.
