River Access Getaway / Fast WiFi / Firepit / ZDT

Perched above the banks of the Guadalupe River in Seguin, TX, this bright, updated duplex offers comforts of home with a surplus of amenities, a great location to explore Central Texas. River access through backyard. Fire pit & hammock included. Sleeps 5. *Please note: pricing based on # of guests entered in reservation, so an exact quote depends on accurate guest count.

WATER LEVELS
The water levels depicted in the photos are current. The water has been down for the last several years, but it's not due to drought conditions. The dam that created Lake Placid from the Guadalupe River since 1928, is being repaired because of a failure in October 2021. While it’s now a river (12-15’ lower than when it was a lake), it’s pretty consistent level and flow, despite rainfall, because it’s fed from the bottom of Canyon Lake. The river has a muddy bottom, so plumes of button moss can float downstream and sometimes collect at water's edge, esp during warmer summer months.

The dry lakebed is the limiting factor. Because it’s so extensive, most of it is overgrown, and there are only few paths that folks have cleared to get to the river. The spots you can access are good for fishing, wading, and swimming. It varies from ankle deep at the edge to over 6 feet in the river channel.

If you're looking for a place to kayak and paddleboard, you should check out our other properties, 3 tiny homes about 15 minutes down river: Meadow Lake Retreat (2 houses: Loft and Bunk) and Lake Nolte Retreat (1 house).

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.

- Hammocks, propane grill, fire pit, s'mores sticks

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.

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!

Great Find!
Great find in the heart of the Hill country snuggld between San Marcos, New Braunfels and Greuene. Very peaceful. There was water in the lake. However, we did not swim. The duplex is extremely clean and well-kept and Laura provides everything you really need to enjoy your stay. One suggestion I might make is perhaps putting a screen for the siding glass door that locks in case you have small children, but that way you can feel the breeze come in from the water Thank you so much!

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.

Laura was what every guest dreams of in a host: solicitous, caring, quick follow-up, clear directions, and helpful. She even texted me to demonstrate her gratitude for how we left her home. Everything in the home was clean and while we did not go to the river, we knew that that remained an option. In summary, our stay at Guadalupe River Getaway was incredible!
