Situated directly on the Guadalupe River with 150 feet of river frontage it is the perfect location for family reunions, corporate events, small intimate weddings or any group gathering. Along the riverfront there are huge ancient cypress trees towering over a private floating river dock perfect for toobing, kayaking, or fishing. The grounds consist of covered and shaded patios surrounded by large pecan and oak trees, a large fire pit area and a lush green lawn leading down to the river. On the patio there is a 55" large screen outdoor smart TV, bluetooth enabled sound bar, propane fired BBQ grill, charcoal/wood smoker, propane fired fire table, hot weather outdoor fan and a cold weather propane fired patio heater. Also, there is a 12 foot long outdoor cedar plank "Star Bar" perfect for summer time toober people watching. Toobs and kayaks are available for guest use. There is a Saluspa Hot Tub on an outdoor deck available with a $20 preparation fee. The house is a cozy setting with virtually every room in the house having an amazing view of the Guadalupe River. 9 bedrooms give everyone the privacy they need while still sleeping 22 comfortably. There are smart TVs in every bedroom, living room and patio with cable. There is a dining room and breakfast dining area perfect for large holiday meals. The kitchen is fully equipped with pots, pans, utensils and cooking essentials. There is a high chair and pack n play available.

Pets are generally not allowed but exceptions can be made for one maybe two pets under 50 lbs. You must request owner permission, sign a pet waiver and pay $50/day per pet fee/deposit before arrival.

There is a vacation rental RV on a secluded part of the property at the top of a hill away from the main house which we rent separately and may have guests staying in it during your stay.

Best weekend ever!

We loved staying here so much! We had about 20 college students and it was great, we definitely want to come back. Tons of room to spread out and the best outdoor space you could ask for. Great location too, only a 20 minute walk from Gruene Hall.

Great Stay at Riverfront House

We had a very big group and there was so much for everyone to do and plenty of room for us all to sleep. Perfectly located...right on the river and super close to Gruene Hall. The fire pit, the canoes, the grills and so much great yard seating. We loved it and can't wait to go again.
