Ponderosa Paradise- Waterfront Home on the Guadalupe River!

Choose Ponderosa Paradise for your next friend or family getaway vacation. This cozy two bedroom, two bath home comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests between the bedrooms and sleeper sofas in the master bedroom and living area. The master bedroom boasts a large king size bed, smart TV, full bath with walk- in shower, and a stunning Guadalupe River view. The second bedroom hosts a queen bed and shares the full bath just off the hallway.

Step into the living area and you'll find comfortable furnishings, smart TV, and a fully- equipped kitchen with all essential cookware and dinnerware needed for your stay. But don't forget why you're here! A quick walk out the back door reveals ample deck space and seating, perfect for enjoying the sights and sounds of the Guadalupe River below, and all while under the shade of ancient cypress and pecan trees. Continue down to the waterfront and catch a glimpse of a tuber, kayaker, or fly fisherman, and prepare to join in the fun.

Canyon Lake and scenic Canyon Dam are also a short drive away... there's no wonder why this area is well known as the Water Recreation Capitol of Texas.

Great view of the river!
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!

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

Unsafe BB Pit
Overall, we did like the property mainly because of the location. The big issue we had with this house was actually the gas barbecue pit. We ended up burning one of our full meals And almost burning my arm and face. I had no idea that the gas tubes inside that barbecue pit were so corroded and rusted out and propane was just dumping inside of that barbecue pit. I guess the real issue I have is that this was known. It had brand new foil, all tucked up under those gas pipes that were all corroded out. But from the top, everything looks nice and fresh with new foil down there. I opened it up because it had flared up on me once before and I thought maybe it was just dirty . So I would just clean it and everything would be good. That wasn’t the case. This could’ve actually blown up in my face. So I’m thankful that it was me and not some young adult or some person that had no idea how to barbecue or anything about fire. Could’ve been badly hurt. If I had not disconnected the gas tank from below and removed it while the barbecue pit was on fire, it was a potential that we could’ve had an explosion. I don’t because of my safety and health will put a risk. I’m also putting out in hopes that it gets replaced before somebody gets hurt. I did remove the tank and left it in attached from the BBQ pot. I also took photos of needed. I also submitted this to the property management company this morning morning and have heard nothing back from them.

Quick get away
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.

Perfect spot for a retreat with friends!
This place had it all for a quiet weekend with friends who were looking to catch up, tell jokes, swim in the river a bit, a do some cooking! The kitchen and living room are open concept and perfect for mingling and even with 6 people it didnt feel crowded at all! Planning on coming back with my wife and other friends in the future.

Family Vacation
Our group of 4 Adults. Property was perfect for the 4 of us. Both bedrooms were very comfortable. Showers got as hot as you wanted, and had enough elbow room. Kitchen was large, and well stocked with pots, pans, dishes, utensils etc. Coffee maker is a pot drip style coffee maker, and 3 packs of coffee were left for us to make which was nice. It was really hot while we were here. Over 105 degrees, and A/C kept the home as cool as we wanted it. The big back porch was great for hanging out chatting over drinks. The River was really nice right off the back yard, and we even floated down the river from the back yard 1 day. House is close to grocery store, and most things you would need within 5 minutes or so. Overall a great home for 4 people to visit for a week.

Great house!
We had so much fun! We stayed here for a long weekend with our 2 young kids. We hung out in tubes on the water tied up to the bank. We played card games on the back porch deck overlooking the river. The only negative feedback is how loud River Road is which is no fault of property owners but it was disappointing since everything else was so peaceful.
