Retreat Cabin on Guadalupe River Road for a Honeymoon

Welcome to the Honeymoon Cabin at the The Guadalupe River Road Retreat! We have three additional cabins (VRBO codes 7914761, 9451823, and 2016286) 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 supermarket, gas, and other necessities, is only five miles (approximately 13 minutes) to the north.

Had a wonderful stay at Rivers Edge Retreat! The home was spotless, comfortable, and exactly as described. It had everything we needed, and the attention to detail made us feel right at home. The location was convenient, quiet, and perfect for relaxing while still being close to local attractions.The hosts was friendly, responsive, and made check-in and check-out incredibly easy. Overall, this was a fantastic experience, and we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and enjoyable place to stay!

I hesitate to say how great our experience was because I want to keep this treasure all for ourselves, but this place truly is a hidden gem on the Guadalupe! Our hosts made us feel welcomed before we even arrived and the house and location were perfect. Everything was extremely clean and our hosts went above and beyond for us by adding hospitable details that meant a lot. The house is perfect for a couple wanting to unwind and enjoy the river and all that the area has to offer complete with a fully stocked kitchen, an outdoor grill, and cold AC. We especially appreciated the privacy and peace that you normally cannot find in larger RV parks/camp resorts. We cannot wait to return and hope to make this a yearly trip for us!

If you are looking for a quiet place away from the rowdy crowds, this is the place for you!!! Rivers Edge Retreat has several rental houses on site. We rented all for several of my families. This gave us our own private acreage with river access and more room to wonder than you can get anywhere else. The whole place is covered in large, mature pecan, oak and hickory trees. It's completely shaded, so it kept us cool in the hot, late July season. And it's beautiful! The host, Carlton, was available to address any needs we had. Breakfast on the patios, river fun during the day and pickle ball tournament in the evenings... It was an AWESOME time! We got 2 thumbs up from everyone in our group and we plan to come back!
