Great Place
The house is perfect for a small group. The location is amazing and the little dock is perfect to fish off of or just sit and watch the water. It is our 2nd time to stay and we will definitely be booking again. The host is easy to communicate with and quick with responses.

Second Stay-Second Time LOVING It
This was our second stay on the property and as last year, we loved it. It was perfect for our family of 4, super clean, great river access, and comfortable. Kitchen is well stocked and made cooking easy. Can't wait to stay again next year!

Long weekend looking for serene tranquility
The property inside was clean, comfortable and as presented. However, the exterior was sorely overlooked. The front lawn appeared to not having been mowed in a month and all windows are covered in thick spider webs and bugs. You can’t appreciate the view of the river and beautiful tree canopy from inside.

Great and Easy Getaway
The house was just as described and very well stocked with all of the amenities one would need. My favorite part was having my coffee on the deck by the water. The beds were comfortable. The tube rental was super close, and they were so friendly. We all enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again!

Quant Paradise
Our family (9 yo son, 16 yo daughter, hubby, & I) stayed in this quaint home for the weekend & had a fantastic time! The location couldn't have been better. We had an absolute blast fishing, tubing & attending a concert at Whitewater amphitheater. The beds were comfortable & the house was clean. We would definitely stay here again!

The Great Escape
What a great place to spend quality time with loved ones. We have been twice, to celebrate a lost loved ones birthday. We chose to make this an annual trip. The owner is great and communicates quickly. The Escape is a beautiful little slice of vacay heaven!

Quaint place on river
Great house on the Guadalupe. Location is great for people that want to tube or get out to scenic near by towns. River a little low so getting in and out at the property is a little challenging if older. There is a rope to assist.

Great place for small family trip
Great location on River rd- especially if you want to be close to whitewater amphitheater/the horseshoe/canyon lake AND new braunfels. Only wish is that the private entry into the river had easier access to exit with a railing or something to pull up on to. River is deeper than we realized upon booking but great spot. Maybe not great for small kids as the decking doesn’t have railing either and it made me nervous even with my 11 year old walking around on it. Would stay here again- great location and just what we needed

Clean & Bright Riverfront
The place is nice and bright and very clean! It has a beautiful view of the Guadalupe River from the covered deck, which was our go-to place most of our time there. It would have been a bonus if it were screened in but overall the bugs weren't too much of an issue. There was plenty of wildlife on the river which we love. We saw large fish, a turtle, ducks, heron, and snakebirds. The water was lower than I expected, so due to my mobility issues, I wasn't able to step into the river from the property. There's tubing and a bunch of other places in the area to enjoy the river though. We had a great time. We only had to contact our hosts once with a minor question but they got back to us immediately which we appreciated. Many thanks to our gracious hosts for letting us enjoy life on the river for a little while.

Great Vacation
We’ve been coming to Sadler Texas for about 14 years and have rented quite frequently from Robert and VRBO. Love the location love the scenery and would recommend this House Rental to anyone. You won’t be disappointed. The host Robert is great and very helpful with anything you need or any questions you have to ask.

Awesome river Escape
The house perfectly positioned on the Guadalupe river was very clean and well equipped. Nice furniture, comfy beds, kitchen well stocked for those who still love to cook. I couldn’t get enough of the view off the deck down by the river. Peaceful quiet neighborhood.

Peaceful in October
We were looking for a quiet laid back week. The house was just what two ladies needed for a week of chilling. We had a couple of chairs and spent the evenings in the back overlooking the river. In October during the week, it was very peaceful.

About the host

Hosted by Robert Barrow

Host profile image
We purchased this property in 1994 as a place to use for friends and family. We have shared our house with many since 1994 and hope to keep doing so for years to come.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this house because it was right on the water and in the Texas Hill Country. We had visited the area several times and just happened to luck out finding the house for sale. The house is priced very competitively to similar properties making a great choice for accommodating 2 to 6 people.

What makes this property unique

The house is centrally located on the upper part of the river. This provides our quests with options for venturing out to other local establishments or attractions. The house sits in a quiet neighborhood about 4 miles from Canyon Lake. The river in this section runs deep and slow. This allows for swimming or just hanging out in a tube tied to our deck or one of the many cypress trees roots. The house is located about 5 minute walking distance from a river outfitter and makes it very easy to rent tubes or rafts without having to drive. We strive to keep a well maintained and clean house for our quests to enjoy.
