On the river with great fishing, swimming, canoeing and hiking up a 250' hill

Wrapped in the green forest of summer, Casa del Rio Riverhouse is a tranquil and safe place in the country to relax and enjoy the winding, cool water of the beautiful Guadalupe River. Guests reside in a lovely stone and stucco cottage overlooking the river below. Fall colors tantalize the senses as we progress to the stark beauty of winter with sight of the cliffs and hills. All through the year the starry night is ablaze at this tranquil retreat. This beautiful property offers water, wings and wildlife for photographers and nature lovers, quiet seclusion for romantic getaways, and a comfortable, river-centered atmosphere for family fun. Whether looking for the perfect setting for a family gathering, or just a respite from the daily grind, you will find it under the huge Cypress and Chinkapin Oak trees at Casa del Rio Riverhouse!
Something for everyone!

The Riverhouse has 2 bedrooms with a king bed in one bedroom, and a queen bed and a twin trundle in the other bedroom sleeping a total of 6 people. The house also has a full bath and includes central heat and air. The living/dining area has a cathedral ceiling, stone wood-burning fireplace, 3 cushion sofa, and a comfortable side chair with a coffee table and beautiful rug. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the dishes, silverware utensils and pots and pans you need to prepare a meal for 6. It also has a microwave and dishwasher making preparing a meal easy and fun.

A spacious private outdoor area overlooks the river, and includes a table with 6 chairs, 2 lounge chairs, 2 rocking chair swings hanging from a stately old Chinkapin Oak tree, and a large rock fire pit for roasting marshmallows and enjoying a warm evening fire. Enjoy all this while listening to the timeless sound of the river flowing amid the rocks and sprawling Cypress trees. Abundant wildlife, featuring Whitetail and Axis deer adding to your enjoyment while staying at Casa del Rio Riverhouse, your Hill Country retreat.

Famous TX Resort Area!: We are within a 5 mile radius of many private boys and girls camps, and a mile away is Crider’s rodeo and dance hall, a tradition since 1927. The nearby Hunt Store is a familiar landmark in these hills where cowboys and city folk share stories while sitting by a warm fire or eating a delicious meal. Fredericksburg, a popular shopping place, is only a 45 minute drive away. Our area is also known for its art, music, arts & crafts, outdoor summer plays, wineries and antiquing.
We welcome you as our guest, happy that you are here, and will greet you warmly, making you instantly feel at home.
There is 50 acres here to explore along the beautiful clear waters of the Guadalupe River and a 250' hill to climb just beyond.
Two canoes are provided to canoe 3/4 of a mile in the wide deep part of the river to a waterfall, Angel Falls, to observe the beauty there. There is several acres in the yard in which to play baseball, volleyball, and for the children to run and play.
There is no property that compares to the beauty, peace, and serenity that is here at Casa del Rio Riverhouse, and the welcoming provided by the host, Betty, who has the greatest guests that come to the Texas Hill Country for a Texas size get-away.
I love being host to these awesome, wonderful, kind and loving guests.
Betty

Wonderful relaxing spot on the river
My husband, mother-in-law, and I stayed for two days while picking up our daughter at camp. It was wonderful - perfect location, very quiet and peaceful. We fished, kayaked, swam, hiked, and had a cook out. Wonderful get-away!

Nice family respite on the river
Our family had a very comfortable 3-night stay and enjoyed the property itself as well as access to nearby Lost Maples. Our host was very friendly and accessible next door. The place was a decent fit for our family of 5 and we took advantage of the river setting as much as possible in the (admittedly warm) TX winter. I bet this place really shines in the summer with the immediate river access.

Amazing place!!
This was our second time staying at this property. My family absolutely loves staying here. We love that you have access to spots in the river where it’s deep enough to swim and other spots more suitable for wading. There’s also a big back yard to enjoy!! Property owner is very nice and seems ver glad to have guests. We will be visiting again in the future.

A taste of living on the river
We had such a great time staying at this beautiful property right on the Guadalupe river. Betty, our host is the sweetest and was responsive to any questions we had. She even let us stay longer on our last day because she knew how much we were loving the beautiful property. We enjoyed hiking, canoeing and fishing right there on the property. We hope to come back someday in the spring or summer!

Tranquil and Serene
This is a lovely location and charming home. We enjoyed our walks along the river, swinging on the rocking chair swings, watching the birds in the trees, hearing the rain on the roof and just relaxing. The home had everything we needed for a nice stay. The location is close to parks, area activities and local restaurants. Hosts were gracious and we enjoyed visiting.
