About this property

Guadalupe River Escape - A Quiet Retreat with Amazing Views

Great family home in Spring Branch, Texas, with scenic views of the Guadalupe River and strategically located as “home base” for trips to the Hill Country. Bulverde, Blanco and San Antonio are within a 20-minute drive. Austin, Fredericksburg, New Braunfels & Johnson City are great day trips. You will enjoy your coffee in the morning watching the Guadalupe River flow by, or enjoy direct river access with a swim or bring your fishing pole to fish and catch Guadalupe Bass. Watch for the wildlife at the back door where you will see axis deer, red fox, turkeys, owls and hawks flying from tree to tree.

The home also has great internet connection with Wifi allowing you to set up your “home office” to stay in touch while still feeling like you are on vacation.

Feel free to send me an email if your needed date is not available. This is our home and we are very flexible with our travel and may be able to meet your request.

Please note that the maximum occupancy for this home is six guests including visitors. We have tried to be lenient on the number but past experiences have dictated the rule. The best time to enjoy this house is often holidays because the ranch across the river usually has fireworks, plus you can often hear the distant music of country dance halls on the weekends. There are heaters mounted to the walls and an outdoor fireplace in the winter, which extends the life of the outdoor living room. When requesting reservation, please let us know where you are traveling from with whom and the plans for the trip so that we can offer suggestions. This house is an absolute gem, quiet and off the beaten path where you can truly enjoy the magic of the Texas Hill Country.

Work stay

Stayed here for the week with my 3 co workers. We enjoyed the view and hanging on the back porch. Beds were super comfortable. Overall great stay. Only issue we found was the back porch fan was not working but not taking a star away for that.

Guys Golf Trip

The pictures do not do the property justice! The scenery was beautiful and the house was clean and stocked with all the necessities and then some! Communication with the property owner was easy and she was always very responsive. My friends and I enjoyed a couple days of golf and it was nice to come home to a beautiful home with great scenery!

Lovely home!

This house was incredibly nice. The interior was clean and comfortable. The primary bedroom and en-suite bath was spacious and the linens were top-notch. Everything you need is at hand - laundry is just off the kitchen. The covered back porch is a wonderful spot. We enjoyed the fireplace and sitting on the lower deck watching the deer in the river below. You will enjoy this spot!!

Family Thanksgiving

Perfect setting for family to gather from East and West coast to visit parents in Hill Country. Great room and well equipped kitchen along with large deck with cozy fireplace and a gorgeous view over the River were conducive to memory making.

Annual Hill Country Trip

What a great property. We have a group of friends that do a trip together every fall and selected this property this year and what a great time we had. The patio and view is incredible, just what we were looking for. Very clean, everything you need is provided, great hosts. I highly recommend this property.

Perfect friend getaway

A group of 3 couples stayed at this house and we had the absolute best time. The house was clean, organized, comfortable and had the most amazing view. The outside patio overlooking the river really made this home. We took the stairs down to the river each day and brought floats to hang out in the water. It was beautiful and very peaceful. One day while in the river we saw deer cross one of the banks next to us. The trail at the end of the stairs down to the water bank can be a little steep but very doable for adults. Our group of friends talked about renting this house every summer. I highly suggest you do the same. The host was amazing to work with which is also a huge plus.

River Weekend Getaway

Just plain awesome. We're already planning our next trip! The house was perfect for three couples. We had plenty of room and the owners thought of all the little necessities and were super responsive. We had no need to ever leave. As devoted river floaters (Bobcat Alum) we opted not to float and enjoyed the water by the house. Best. Decision. Ever. It is a hike down to the water and those stairs are no joke, but we got in our steps and had a fantastic time. Pictures don't do the view any justice! The house is in a neighborhood so don't plan to bring a wild party, but if you want to relax and have a chill weekend, this is the place.

Relaxing on the porch

We stayed her with intentions of having it as home base to go to New Braunfels and San Antonio. Ended up we just stayed at the house the whole weekend. The porch and view are fantastic. They have a Nintendo 64 in the family room. We had a great time playing Mario kart. Just a lot of fun and nostalgic. Had a really good time. Kitchen is good for cooking and outdoor grill was great.

Beautiful property

This house was absolutely spectacular. The views were even better than the listing portrayed. I did expect the stairs to go all the way down to the water, but they only went about half to 2/3 of the way; we managed to make it the rest of the way just fine though. Our trip was based around floating the river, but the main tube rental spots are about a 40 minute drive. We didn’t really mind the drive, but traffic was terrible. The beds were all very comfortable and the house offered everything we needed (except for a blender). The majority of our time was spent on the patio which was absolutely perfect in every aspect. If you want to stay in and have basically your own private spot on the river, then this is your place!

Most beautiful view in Texas!

We loved our recent stay at the Guadalupe River Escape! My Mom, sister and I were looking for somewhere to go for a relaxing long weekend from Dallas and this place was perfect! We didn’t realize any place in Texas could be so beautiful! We spent most of our time on the huge gorgeous patio enjoying the view and watching for deer and hummingbirds. The only disappointment was that we never did see the fox! The home is well equipped from the kitchen to the bathroom with everything you could need and more. The owners were helpful and quick to respond. Highly recommend!

Great place to relax

Perfect setup for 3 couples - all bedrooms have queen size beds so no fighting over who gets the master. The view is spectacular, and the highlight is the outdoor deck where we had all our meals - we spent very little time indoors. If what you want to do is get away from it all but do so in comfort this is the place. The only negative (not the property or the owners’ fault) was the neighbors running their leaf blower and lawnmower when we were trying to enjoy the sunset and wildlife. Wonderful stay!

Not a single negative attribute. The house was even better than advertised. Beautifully decorated and furnished, spotless, and with an amazingly peaceful view. The place really felt like home from the minute we walked in. Simply put, it was perfect!
