About this cabin rental
Welcome to the Southwestern Cabin at the The Guadalupe River Road Retreat! We have three additional cabins (VRBO codes 7914761, 7911593, and 2016386) 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.

It is our family’s 5th summer in a row to visit this beautiful property, lovingly maintained by the wonderful owners Carlton and Laura. Each house is immaculately clean and has everything we need in the kitchen to prepare meals. We enjoy drinking our coffee on the back porch deck, the chairs by the fire pit, or the swing, each with a stunning view of the Guadalupe River and canyon. We spend all day outside under the tall shade trees playing corn hole, grilling on the back porch every day for lunch, floating and cooling off in the river, and shooting hoops and playing badminton on the tennis courts for which you can turn on the lights for night games. We enjoy taking nature walks around the property looking at native flowers, trees, hummingbirds, and the butterfly garden, listening to the birds and even owls in the early evening. At night we watch the fireflies and cook s’mores by the fire pit that Carlton sets up for us. Carlton and Laura are the sweetest people, and we appreciate their kindness, care, and hard work to share their gorgeous property with visitors to make sure that we have everything we need and a wonderful, fun, easy experience. We treasure our happy memories there and can’t wait to come back.

This was our third time staying at this wonderful property, and we can’t wait until we get to come back! Even during this very hot summer, all the wonderful trees and shade help keep the temp down, and then there’s the cool Guadalupe waiting right outside your backyard. Carlton and Laura are the perfect hosts, they are always eager to make your stay comfortable and relaxing. A special place lovingly cared for by special people!
