About this property

Scenic riverfront home on quiet stretch of Guadalupe - waterfall by huge front porch

A picturesque waterfall runs across this quiet stretch of the Guadalupe River, creating a perfect place for wading on one side, and for exploring or just putting our lawn chairs in the river and relaxing on the other side. The location is perfect for using our kayak, and you can tube right out our back door. A favorite pastime is watching the river go by from the three-tiered, large riverside flagstone patio. It is also a wildlife magnet, with osprey and heron fishing here. Oh, and so do the fly fishermen, as this trophy section of the river is stocked with trout from November through February directly across the river. All of this can be enjoyed from the brand-new sunroom and deck outside of this charming, well-appointed, and recently remodeled house with all of the creature comforts. The many activities of Canyon Lake, Gruene, and New Braunfels are also just a short drive away.

Special Events and Festivals: The Texas Hill Country boasts many different events and festivals throughout the year. Below is just a sample of them. You can Google any of these for more info...

Tubing, Kayaking, and Fishing: Tubing: This is a great section of the river to launch your tubing trip. No need to rent a tube, just drive up river and float down to the house or toob the horseshoe, which is just a couple of miles from the house (see our guide in the house for more information)....Kayaking: The river is usually at a level such that paddling upstream is quite easy, even for the kids. Then you can float back effortlessly toward the house. We provide a two person kayak with paddles and life jackets....Fishing: Fishing is a popular pastime on the Guadalupe, and the waterfall in our backyard is a popular spot for fish and anglers alike. Both the Texas Parks and Wildlife and Guadalupe River Trout Unlimited stock the river with trout between November and February, and the fish thrive in the cool waters of the Guadalupe, which was recently voted one of the top 100 trout streams in the US.

This property has a permit from the Comal County Water Oriented Recreation District (Permit # L1252).

Exceptionally Beautiful and Comfortable
Gorgeous place with direct river access. Comfortable for a small family gathering. The only thing several of us said was that front porch door was going to hurt somebody. It opens the wrong way and it’s hard to step out without falling off the porch. We carrying boxes of food etc and it could be down right dangerous. We all said, BE CAREFUL each time we went in or out

Perfect
I pulled my mom away, so she can take a break from taking care of my dad fulltime and this place was PERFECT! If you are looking for a quick getaway to just decompress, this is the place. My favorite thing was just enjoying a morning cup of coffee outside, listening to the water flowing, birds chirping, and the wind hitting the leaves. I highly recommend this place!

Amazing House!
We had the best stay — this location is perfection. The house was quiet and clean. We were just a short drive to so many places to explore like Wimberley and Gruene. The owners had fantastic communication and instructions, which made you feel like you were right at home. Can’t wait to come back!

Super relaxing river home
The location at the dam in the river, along with the rocky section on the downriver side of the dam, creates a constant serenade of running water in the river - my favorite sound! I spent most of my non-sleeping time out on one of the multiple decks listening to the river run - Guadalupe is always chilly and we were there in early November, but I was still able to get out on the river. Very convenient location, quiet neighborhood and close to any groceries or food options you could need. 5 minute drive to Canyon Lake dam, where there is a park and you can walk across the top of the dam (couple miles over and back), and there is a nice nature trail that follows the river across the highway at the base of the backside of the dam. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will likely be back next year!

A Relaxing Getaway
The home was just what we needed to get away for the weekend. Its location is ideal to make you feel like you are a bit remote but also having access to wonderful restaurants and shopping. Our boys fished out the back door and we listened to the water. The host was kind enough to send a welcome packet prior to our arrival with clear instructions as well as recommendations on things to do in the area, places to eat, and local events. We will definitely be back.

Fall Break
This was a great place to stay and get away from the big city of Houston! The location was perfect! Quiet and direct access to the Guadalupe River was a huge plus. Gruene was very close and the recommendations for restaurants were perfect from the owner. The ability to use the tubs was great. We really enjoyed our time on the river and just sitting on the deck and enjoy the sounds of the water. We highly recommend this location. Thank you for sharing your home. We look forward to coming back soon.

Tranquil and Cozy
Very comfortable, cozy home in a good location to some Trout fishing spots down stream. The water by the spillway is cloudy due to silt but improves up stream. There are steps to take to get to the river but the added railing helped us seniors handle them with more ease. The large trees shade the back yard mostly so able to enjoy the outside even in the heat of summer. The house has everything you need and then some. It can easlily accommadate six adults if needed. The only negative was a too soft mattress in one bedroom and the need for light filtering shades in the west facing windows in the sunroom to help keep that room cooler. A few good local restaurant recommendations are Wildflour Grill and Elio's Pizzeria. Enough nearby towns offer more choices in shopping and restaurants. Would recommend this home for any adult get aways.

Texas Hill Country Get Away on Guadalupe River
This place never disappoints. It is a great place to rejuvenate the mind, body and soul from city life. The serenity and beauty are just incredible. There is no better way to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature than by sitting on one of the decks with your coffee before the sun comes up and watching it go down in the evening. We love watching the deer in the field across the street from the house and if you look hard enough you can see them in the thicket across the river. There are plenty of squirrels to watch play among the trees and we were so excited to see 3 foxes this year across the river. Absolutely beautiful. We LOVE the new railing put in place to assist those who need help getting up and down the stairs to the water. Great update. Looking forward to another trip here. This is our favorite Guadalupe River go to spot in Texas Hill Country.
