About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

River Access Getaway / Fast WiFi / Firepit / ZDT

Perched above the banks of the Guadalupe River in Seguin, TX. Bright, updated duplex offers comforts of home with a surplus of amenities. Great hub to explore Central Texas. River access through backyard. Fire pit & hammock. Sleeps 5 ($25/night surcharge for 5th guest).

WATER LEVEL & FLOW
The water level in the photos are accurate. The water level has dropped 12 feet since October 2021 to rebuild the dam that created our lake. There is a certain flow requirement downstream from our property, so we maintain a minimum flow and consistent level/depth regardless of rainfall.

Most of our dry lakebed is overgrown, and there are only few paths (75-100 yards long) that folks have cleared to get to the river. The spots you can access are good for fishing and wading, up to 6 feet deep in the river channel. There's no boat traffic so it's very quiet.

Water flow slows in warmer seasons, and plumes of button moss intermittently float up from the bottom, collecting at water's edge. We still swim among the button moss, but it may not be ideal for some. Unfortunately, there's no way to predict when it will emerge and how long it stays.

If you're looking for a place to kayak and paddleboard, you should check out our other properties about 15 minutes down river: Meadow Lake Retreat and Lake Nolte Retreat.

HIGHLIGHTS
- 2 bedrooms / 1 bathroom, sleeps 5
- River access from backyard requires ~75yd walk on a cleared path through rogue, weedy "greenery" growing in the riverbed.
- Great for fishing, wading, and swimming
- Hammocks, propane grill, fire pit, s'mores sticks
- Fast WiFi (500 Mbps)
- Smart TV
- Stocked with books, games, toys, puzzles

- Full size washer/dryer
- Short drive to HEB, Walmart, Starbucks
- Centrally located to New Braunfels, San Marcos, San Antonio, Austin

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
- Primary bedroom - 1 queen bed
- Second bedroom - 1 double bed, 1 twin bed (trundle)
- Living room - 1 double sleeper sofa

RIGHT OFF I-10 and CENTRALLY LOCATED TO:
- essentials like HEB, Walmart, Starbucks, restaurants, movie theater (<7 miles)
- Gruene/New Braunfels/Schlitterbahn (15 miles)
- San Marcos outlet malls (25 miles)
- San Antonio (~30 miles)
- Austin (~50 miles)

This listing is for one side of a duplex. You'll have the carport/driveway, inside living space, and back deck (outdoor dining/grill) to yourself, but the lawn/firepit/hammock area may be shared with up to 5 guests from the other unit.

We live locally and have local maintenance and housekeeping for needs that may arise during your stay.

Because we're in the country and near water, you may encounter various wildlife and bugs (snakes, skunks, raccoons, mice, spiders, roaches, wasps, etc). We utilize professional pest control on a regular schedule, but this does not guarantee a pest-free visit, inside or out.

You'll likely need a car to get around. HEB will deliver groceries to your doorstep via Shipt. Please check on Uber/DoorDash as those services seem to be intermittent here.

A link to our Rental Agreement will be sent via email.

NO smoking. Smoking of any kind (including tobacco, marijuana, e-cigarettes, vape pens, and hookahs) is prohibited at this property, inside and out.

NO pets. Although we are pet lovers, this is a shared property with other guests who may be sensitive (allergic, fearful) to pets.

NO large parties or gatherings allowed. We have neighbors with full-time residence nearby who will report back with excessive noise or groups that exceed the home limit. Parking limited to 2 vehicles.

Great property!

My husband & I decided to make our way to the area for a couple weeks to escape the Iowa winter in Jan. Due to some bad weather predicted for the area the day of our initial arrival, we decided to depart Iowa a day early & Laura was so accommodating. We were able to check in a day early and found the home clean and well-stocked with everything that we needed. Laura gave us suggestions on places to eat & visit. Communication with the host was excellent from our initial booking throughout our stay. We will definitely stay here again when in the area!

We were very impressed with the accommodations. Everything we needed was at our fingertips. The duplex was clean & as shown in the pictures. Great location. Laura sent an online guidebook, so to speak, with restaurants & places of interest, this was definitely a huge help. We will definitely be back!

Perfect!

This house was absolutely perfect for us. My husband and I traveled with our teenage daughter and her friend. The house was very clean and they supplied everything you could need. They had nice security lights outside on top of living in a gated area. We love to come every summer to float the river and we will definitely stay here again. I have to add that I made a disaster with our booking and the host was so kind and flexible with me!

Great family time!

It was a nice little home away from home. The house was right on the river for us to enjoy some fishing. We caught quite a few small bass and pirch. Our 4 year old son caught his first fish. The house was clean and the perfect size for us to relax on our get away. They even had books and a few toys geared just for our little guy when we were inside. Thank you for having us!

Nice weekend getaway

This is a very cute and clean property, stocked with all the essentials and more, plus a convenient location. We were a short drive from both San Antonio and New Braunfels, giving us lots of great options for things to do. The outside area looked like it would be very enjoyable. We did not get the chance to use is sadly because the weather was terrible during our stay. Laura was very quick to respond with any questions we had. Definitely recommend staying here. We hope to come back when the weather is better.
