About this property

Guadalupe River Road Retreat Honeymoon Cabin

Welcome to the Honeymoon Cabin at the The Guadalupe River Road Retreat! We have three additional cabins (VRBO codes 7914761, 9451823, and 2016286) sharing six beautiful acres of Guadalupe river frontage, where guests are free to wander the park like setting under the shade of majestic oaks, pecans, and cypress trees. Enjoy fantastic views of the Guadalupe river from cabin decks and bench swings, take a nap in a hammock, relax and cook smores at our firepits, or play tennis day or night on our newly resurfaced tennis court, and of course spend time in and on the river!

Our retreat differs from many of the rental options on the river. We cater to families, couples, reunions and small groups who want a tranquil environment and wish to avoid the rowdy crowds and party cabins. We limit group sizes to what the cabins can comfortably accommodate, and we enforce our property rules regarding day guests, loud music, and disorderly conduct. If you are looking for an oasis on the river, a place where you can have fun but also relax in comfort, peace, and privacy, Guadalupe River Road Retreat is the place for you!

General info.

The Guadalupe River Road Retreat is located at 8910 River Road between the second and third crossing, halfway between Gruene and Canyon Lake, and is accessible via an electric gate (code provided upon booking).

We have two river access points, a concrete dock with steps down, or via a natural path down to a sitting area under the canopy of two massive cypress trees. Across the river from the property is a unique limestone expanse carved by the river where guests frequently enjoy hanging out, playing in the water, and watching the toobers float by.

There are multiple river outfitters within a short distance of the property, with the closest being Mountain Breeze which is less than a quarter mile from our access gate.

Gruene Texas, famous for its shops, restaurants, and the historic Gruene Dance Hall, is only nine miles (15 to 20 minutes south of our location). Sattler, where guests can find a small grocery store, gas, and other necessities, is only five miles (approximately 13 minutes) to the north.

Perfect Couples Getaway

We had an incredible experience, even before our arrival. The hosts were exceptional, with communication, tips, instructions and super attentive in all ways possible and the cabin was just perfect for a weekend away. It was a surprise for my husband and he was certainly fascinated, with the peace, river access, and great location - Highly recommended.

Absolutely famous location.

We rented this cabin for our anniversary. The cabin was cozy and had everything we needed. Location was famous just a few feet from the water. Very private and lovely to be among the trees and to hear the flowing of the river. Strongly recommended! Will definitely be renting again.

THE BEST Place and Hosts

Spectacular 6 acres on a perfect stretch of river. Carlton and Laura are exceptional people - you are family from moment they meet you at the gate into their painstakingly maintained property, and they go out of their way to make your stay at their family place special. Sit in the river or in a hammock in the shade or by the firepit. And don’t miss all the fireflies at dusk! The best place imaginable by the river for a quick or a long getaway. Play with Abby the border collie, and if you’re lucky, go on a walkabout with the fancy geese. Your cabin will be spotless and even stocked with a few essentials (s’mores). Wish we could’ve stayed for a week or two. We are staying here from now on. Seriously, this place is the best and so are the owners.

An Unexpected Hideaway off the Beaten Path

If you're looking for a quiet get away look no further. Quaint, beautiful and roomy home for 2 with full kitchen and walk-in shower. And don't forget to bring your tubes and river chairs. The calming waters of the Guadalupe await you out the back porch and a short walk down the stone steps for easy access to and a relaxing day on the river. There are also plenty of chairs to sit in just above the river bank. Enjoy your meals on the large back porch while watching the birds at the bird feeders and listening to the flow of the river below. There's plenty of room to take a walk around the beautiful tree covered property. And the wildlife come out at night! While enjoying supper on the porch we saw 2 foxes, a raccoon, and later a group of deer who come out to feed at night. Owners Laura and Carlton are also raising some ducks you can even enjoy visiting with up close. If you need anything during your stay, Laura and Carlton are just a stone's throw away on the property. If they don't have what you need or forgot, they can tell you where to get it nearby. They were great and friendly hosts. So glad we found this beautiful place. We will definitely be going back again and again. Linda M. Stayed May 2023

Little piece of paradise

Warm welcome by hosts including detailed information about the property and area. Cell service is not great but WiFi provided was excellent. The cleanest rental we have been to, and we have been to dozens this year. The wildlife on the property made it feel like you were in your own animal sanctuary. Water access was perfect, but the property also allowed tons of shade. Beautiful spot for morning coffee and a day full of fun on the river. We already want to come back!
