When you first arrive to High Bank Ranch you will immediately see why we are the destination for family get-togethers and Guadalupe river fun. The 2 house complex is laid out to capture outdoor activities along with the ability to sleep 22 people in comfy beds. You can begin your day with poolside coffee highlighted by the sound of waterfalls and a cool breeze. When the you are ready for more activity there is volleyball/badminton/ping pong/ yard games, kayaks, and pool. The day only gets better in the first class outdoor kitchen built in 2016 (gas grill, electric oven/stove, cocktail bar sink, fully stocked cookware and utensils, fridge, wine fridge and deep freezer), the aroma from the Pizza Oven, and the 70 in. TV in the outdoor living space will keep your guests happy. Plenty of room for our guests to spread out, large driveway, and privacy galore on 63 acres. An added bonus is a full hookup for RV and barn/pasture if you would like to bring your horses, trail riding, hiking and biking.

Our property is situated on the Guadalupe River (Lake McQueeney section). The river here is not in the busy section so water floats are available for your use and we have 4 kayaks.

Fabulous large family gathering place
This property exceeded everyone’s expectations. It was perfect for our large group to celebrate Thanksgiving. The house was very well stocked and had plenty of refrigerator space to handle a big group. The outdoor cooking /entertainment pavilion was where we spent a large majority of time. TV,games, full kitchen and plenty of comfortable seating made this a go to spot The pool and hot tub completed the feel of the outdoor oasis. Everyone wanted to rebook for next year !! The owner communication was timely, thorough,and welcoming on of our best Vrbo experiences ever.

Beautiful property!
This place is easily the nicest house I've ever stayed in. Our friends and family all enjoyed their time here. Suzanne was such a wonderful host and communicated everything with us prior to the stay. She also had her phone on her just in case any questions needed to be answered during our stay. Thank you

Our favorite Lakehouse to stay at!
We had a wonderful stay as always! This was our third time booking Susanne's beautiful Lakehouse property. Susanne is the best host. She is so nice, communicative, and helpful via the Vbro message system or through text. The house is gorgeous! We love taking out the kayaks on the river. You feel like you are at a resort with the beautiful pool & hot tub. The outdoor kitchen area is the best, it's so nice to make dinner out there on an evening with perfect weather. We love the house because we like to cook and the house has everything you could ever need to make a delicious dinner! The house is decorated nicely, so you feel like you are at home. I could go on and on, it's just the best Lakehouse getaway! Thank you Susanne!

21 Thumbs Up!! The Perfect Getaway!! Book It!!
We had a Navy Retirement party with friends and family. Beautiful home with an area for everyone in our large group! Some hung out in the pool/jacuzzi, some in the patio area watching football on a 70" outdoor TV. Lots of ping pong tournaments! We also played cards and Giant Jenga at a patio table with seating for 16!! The outdoor kitchen was perfect for grilling and there was covered seating w/firepits and places to just sit and chat. Not to mention those that swam and fished in the lake! The home had plenty of bedrooms/bathrooms and was incredibly well-stocked with spices, foil, everything!! No flies or mosquitos either!! We will be back again!!!!

Just as fun our 2nd time back
This is a great sprawling property where there's too much to do in one weekend. It was my 2nd time back and it was just as good as I remembered. Would highly recommend. I gave the "Accuracy of Online Listing" rating 2 stars because it says "6 minute walk to Bandit Golf Course." This is true but misleading. If you want to play Bandit, it is a 17 minute drive unless you bring your own Guadalupe River ferry.

Perfect place for family vacation!
Our family of 18, ranging in age from 9 to 73 had a great time. We were well entertained with the pool, river and games. The kitchens (both indoor and outdoor) were equipped with everything you could possibly need. The sleeping accommodations worked out perfectly for our family. Susanne was the perfect host. Her communication before, during and after our stay was excellent. We certainly made some wonderful memories at this property. Everyone agreed this house was the perfect choice for our family vacation.

Beautiful place to stay
Our family LOVED this place. We had all ages stay, young teens, young adults, mid-age adults, and seniors and we all loved it. Kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. Communication with the owner was perfect and she answered every question we had. A minor maintenance issue popped up that she needed to have taken care of, she let us know there would be repairmen on site and that they would not need to be inside. They came, did what they needed to do and left quietly. I appreciated the heads up, and they did not interfere with our stay at all! The beds were comfortable and every room was just as she had described. We will definitely stay here again

Property is as advertised, clean, well stocked kitchens, beautiful pool and hot tub, on a tributary of Lake McQueeney and you can paddle board on the lake. It's located on several acres with lots of privacy. Has a great outdoor kitchen by pool for cooking out. Recommend this for any large family gathering.

Each family member’s input regarding their stay: “comforting, serene”; “relaxing”; “rejuvenating, a very nice & clean place. The host thought of everything, really enjoyable”; “ extremely relaxing and I enjoyed all of the amenities at High Bank Ranch”; “ I loved it. It was real beautiful and spacious. Loved the outdoor kitchen area, the pool, and just the experience on the ranch. I definitely give it a 5 out of 5”; “for how large of a group we were, you could always find a getaway spot to have moments to yourself”; “we loved how clean the pool was at all times”; “peaceful, enjoyed being with family”; “restful, stress-free, calming, beautiful”; “very relaxing, the scenery and atmosphere was very peaceful”. Overall, the ranch was impressive with well thought of amenities. Susanne did not miss a point in planning for comfort, anticipation of outdoor fun & gatherings, use of fully stocked kitchens, comfortable beddings, and ample amount of towels and linens. We had a wonderful time. Everyone agreed that we would like to make a return visit.

Heaven on Earth
This place was AMAZING!!!!!!!!! EVERYTHING was to notch including the property owners. They made our stay better than a vacation. All the instructions were so detailed that we were even able to operate the wood fired pizza oven and enjoy some amazing pizza. None of us had ever used a wood fired pizza oven. The outdoor entertaining area was better than being at a 5 star resort. I hosted my daughter's baby shower during our stay and several of the guest were talking about making reservations for the property for different events. I cannot say enough about this amazing property. From the instance you drive into the front gate, all the way down the driveway, up to the amazing house and facilities.......TOP NOTCH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fantastic property for Family Reunion
We researched a lot of properties for our first Family Reunion before we chose High Bank Ranch. This property did not dissapoint and the layout was perfect for our group. A BIG plus was the location on the river. Kayak's, floats and live jackets were provided and if you didn't want to get in the river there is a beautiful pool and spa to enjoy. The outdoor kitchen/living area is amazing and we found ourselves spending a lot of time outdoors. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and we took advantage of the grill and the oven that was available. Big hits were also the ping pong table and air hockey along with badmitten and corn hole. We also enoyed the outdoor TV. Aside from all of that, the house is immaculate and everything was well thought out from all of the supplies provided down to small details such as bathtub toys and soap for the kids. The pool house is amazing and is definitely a plus. It provides three additional sleeping areas, another kitchen and a fantastic downstairs bathroom and outdoor shower. The main house is gorgeous with plenty of sleeping room for everyone and provides amazing living spaces. The decor is beautiful and you will feel pampered after staying at this property. Susanne was amazing and easy to communicate with. We had very few questions but when we did she was quick to respond. We will consider booking this property again for future events and thought it was almost too nice to be a rental!

MUST STAY riverfront in New Braunfels!
This was one of the best stays we have had with our big family. Everything was incredibly clean and they were stocked with everything you could ever need for cooking, playing yards games, board games, chillin in the pool, or hanging out down in the river. The outdoor kitchen area is truly remarkable, that alone is worth it! The pool is perfect and was such a great way to relax in the evenings! You are right on the river with private access with a few steps down but totally worth it. They have kayaks and paddle boards and tubes and a nice, little beach to relax on. The location is perfect as well. You are REALLY close to NB yet not stuck so far in town that you deal with the summer traffic rush all of the time. It was an easy 15 minute drive to Schlitterbahn, Gruene, the Comal and only about 5 minutes to hop on 35 to take a little trip to Austin or San Antonio. We have already booked for next year :)

About the host

Hosted by Susanne Wilkerson

Host profile image
My family has been visiting the Hill Country our whole lives even while living and raising our children in the Houston area. After the kids graduated from high school we wanted to retire in a small town setting that still offered some big city activities close by. Most importantly water and outdoor excursions.

Why they chose this property

We were always drawn to New Braunfels. The people here are honest and friendly. There is always something to do and the climate of the area allows for year around outdoor activities. When the opportunity arose for us to own land in such a beautiful setting we were thrilled. We have put a lot of work and sweat into building our dream ranch.

What makes this property unique

Lake McQueeney is a hidden gem. You can drive into town and float the Guadalupe River in many locations but our section of the river is peaceful and serene. We love being able to put the Kayaks in the water for a leisure ride upstream or just tying a tube to the dock for lazy floating is my happy place.
