Welcome to Guadalupe River Retreat — your peaceful escape on the water.
Perfectly positioned right on the Guadalupe River, this tiny home offers the ideal setting to relax, unwind, and make unforgettable memories. Come experience what many call God’s Secret Paradise and enjoy the beauty of the Texas Hill Country from your own front deck.

Riverfront fun is just steps away.
Walk right outside and enjoy tubing, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, or fishing. The Horseshoe and Whitewater Amphitheater are only a few miles away, making it incredibly convenient for floating the river or catching a concert. You truly can’t get closer to the action.

Two bedrooms — a downstairs queen bedroom and an upstairs loft with two full beds overlooking the river

One full bathroom

A charming front deck draped with outdoor lights, perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation

Sleeping space for up to 6 guests

Close to Everything
You’ll be just minutes from Canyon Lake, downtown New Braunfels, Schlitterbahn, the Comal River, Gruene, and Wimberley. The home is also only 5 miles from popular River Road spots like River Rose Tavern, Lone Star Float House, and Whitewater Amphitheater, Tan Turtle Tavern. Wineries, distilleries, and Hill Country attractions are all within easy reach. Enjoy tubing in summer, fishing in winter, and Wurstfest in November.

This is our third summer at the tiny home, and we absolutely love it. We spend all day by the river, cooking out, making s'mores, swinging, and enjoying the beautiful outdoors on the property. The location is perfect, as it's very close to town. The house is ideal for our family of four.

My family of 5 had a fantastic time. It is the PERFECT spot on the river for wading around AND we walked over to a spot that was deep enough to launch our paddle boards out. The amenities are clearly well thought out- from face masks and coffee to inflatables and a wagon to tote everything up and down the hill.
Core memories unlocked! 💕

Perfect location, lovely house.

We had a great time at the house and property, I wished we had booked just one more day! We stayed 2 nights, my husband and I, my sister and brother-in-law. The house was very nice and very clean, we had everything we needed. No complaints at all. The river is right there, just a short walk down. There is plenty of shade. We sat with our chairs in the water, then took the tubes out and floated a bit. We bbq'd one night and made a fire in the firepit on both nights and sat around listening to music, had drinks. We went to a tubing service company and floated for 2-3 hours, loved that. The beds were comfy. I let my sister take the bedroom and my husband and I took the loft, the loft has low ceilings but It's mainly to sleep or lay in bed. We liked it, slept very well. I would definitely recommend this rental, the house, property and river access was perfect! I seriously cannot think of one negative thing. We never had to contact the owners other than to say we arrived and when we left. Thank you to the owners!

Clean and Comfortable Home in Great Location

This is a beautiful property in a great location on the river. The home was comfortable and was absolutely spotless. It had everything we needed for our stay. It was the perfect location for our stay to fly fish. It was peaceful and the neighbors were kind and respectful. We would definitely stay here again!

Girls' River Trip - SO FUN!

This was the perfect little house for myself and 3 girlfriends. The house was stocked with everything we needed. The views were amazing. We loved having access to the river and were able to hangout there after we floated the river during the day. I can't wait to bring my family soon. Communication was great with the owners as well.

Unmatched!

We were a little nervous renting a tiny house with our 3 teenage boys (19, 17, 15) but there was no need to worry! The house is small but is laid out so well, we never felt cramped or crowded. And the access to the river was unmatched! We would most definitely come back. We loved it!!

Beautiful tiny home, on a beautiful piece of property

This is probably one of my new favorite houses to stay in. It is the cutest tiny home. Perfectly clean. My girls LOVED the loft for them to sleep in. All communication with the owners was prompt and so sweet. The property is gorgeous! The riverfront area was the perfect spot for our little ones to play in the water.
