Escape to Ponderosa Paradise, a charming two-bedroom, two-bathroom house nestled in the heart of New Braunfels, TX, offering a cozy retreat for up to 8 guests. The master bedroom features a luxurious king-size bed, a smart TV, and a full bath with a walk-in shower, all while providing breathtaking views of the Guadalupe River. The second bedroom offers a comfortable queen bed with easy access to a second full bath.

Step into the inviting living area with plush leather couches, a smart TV, and expansive windows showcasing panoramic views of the Guadalupe River. The open concept floorplan includes a fully-equipped kitchen with a spacious peninsula and bar stools, perfect for interactive guest experiences. Multiple decks, both covered and uncovered, offer ample seating to enjoy the serene sights and sounds of the river under the shade of ancient cypress and pecan trees.

Situated along timeless River Road at the Ponderosa crossing, this bungalow is located along a quiet stretch of river that is ideal for kayaking, tubing and fishing, yet is only a short 8-minute drive to the Whitewater Amphitheater and the bustling "Horseshoe" section of the Guadalupe River.” A short drive away, guests can explore Canyon Lake, Canyon Dam, and historic Gruene for shopping and live music. Little Ponderosa Outfitters, just steps away, provides easy access to tube rentals for endless river fun.

Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the prime location of this home, surrounded by opportunities for trout fishing, tubing, kayaking, and more. This stretch of river benefits from annual trout stocking by not only Trout Unlimited but also Texas Parks & Wildlife, and the trout fishing is a great attraction from November through May each year. This home features a long driveway, helpful if you plan to trailer in your raft or kayak. The property features essential amenities such as central AC, a washer/dryer, a gas grill, and a riverside deck for relaxation and entertainment. With a maximum occupancy of 8 guests and 4 vehicles, this riverside retreat ensures a peaceful and memorable stay for families and friends alike.

Neighborhood and convenience to tube and float rental is amazing! Water is pretty deep at the property and you’ll need floats to hang out in the water there. Overall it was a nice stay. Quick trip to Gruene was a lot of fun.

It was great! Wish the river running but looks luke the water table was low. Absolutely loved the view. The house was lovely. Loved the layout and the fire place. Large kitchen was wounderful. Everything was clean. Only suggestion I would give is to have a binder with things to do in the area, like Gruene and Fredrickburg etc. clran

Communication with Erin (Property manager) was great!! Beautiful drive into the property. Small delay getting into the property because the owner sent someone to check the house because they thought it was not rented. That was quickly fixed although the person checking the property did track in some dirt and leaves and we had to vacuum before we could even bring our bags in and unpack. Not the end of the world, just a minor delay and we needed to do a little cleaning before roaming bare/sock-footed. House was pretty well appointed and had some new updates which were nice. The home still needs some TLC here and there and a few minor repairs. The location was tucked away and pretty quiet, but easy to get around. All in all it was a pretty enjoyable stay and we really enjoyed the view of the river!

Great location, clean and comfortable house. Would definitely stay there again. Items needing attention… Back sliding door very hard to open and shut. Grill would only heat on low temperature.
