Property Description

Imagine a private riverside resort, a kid-friendly and pet-friendly hideaway loaded with luxurious amenities, and tons of fun and relaxing things to do. All this and more awaits you at the Guadalupe River Retreat, one of the best Hill Country vacation destinations, tucked away in the gorgeous mountainous terrain just outside Boerne! It's perfect for nature lovers and travelers alike with its rural setting, but with the charming city of Boerne close by.

Fishing, swimming, and canoeing are all instantly available to you, thanks to a private Guadalupe River frontage, and you're set for tubing, too (contact Bergheim Campground and River Outfitters in Boerne for more info on floats). The property is at the end of the road, with no neighbors near this private Hill Country getaway, just wide-open countryside! If the shopping or night life bugs should bite, Bandera and Boerne are just a short drive away.

A shaded porch offers great views of the river and the terrain beyond, and the property is populated with both deer and birds; the latter love to visit the numerous feeders here. Along with patio furniture and a fire pit, there are two porch swings-one on the deck, the other on the river's bank. Ample parking is available for your vehicles.

The "wow factor" inside starts with over 50 linear feet of windows encircling the living area, inviting the beauty of the outdoors, indoors. There's ample seating in the living, seating and dining areas. The huge kitchen features modern appliances, cookware and serving ware, and there's also a washer/dryer combo. Three comfy bedrooms sleep up to seven: a king and a single day bed in the master; a queen in the second bedroom; and two singles in the third. All bed and bath linens are provided, with two full baths: the master features a jacuzzi and shower, the second has a shower/tub combo. There is also an additional half-bath. Central A/C and heat keep the house comfortable, and there's a satellite smart TV and DVD player for you to enjoy.

The views, the perks, the awesome waterfront location alongside a popular river-these factors, and so many more, make the Guadalupe River Retreat an incredible private Hill Country hideaway! Touch base with us at Backroads Reservations, and we'll happily help you book this Lone Star gem.

OLD TUNNEL STATE PARK: A NATURAL WAY STATION

Midway between Fredericksburg and Comfort in the Texas Hill Country, you'll find Old Tunnel State Park . The park is a prime example of the blending of human and natural history, and offers an opportunity to visitors to see a unique and breathtaking natural display. Commerce and cargo used to pass through this railroad tunnel, but it's now home to some fascinating winged tenants.

PEDERNALES FALLS STATE PARK: WILD WATERS OF THE HILL COUNTRY

Just east of the historic Hill Country towns of Johnson City and Fredericksburg, guests can visit the sprawling Pedernales Falls State Park . The park includes over 5,200 acres of recreational space, the centerpiece of which is the Pedernales River itself. For fifty years and counting, this park (also referred to as “Pedernales Falls Park,” or simply “Pedernales Falls”) has provided a getaway for those seeking adventure on the water, hikers, nature lovers, and more.

KERRVILLE-SCHREINER PARK: WHERE KERRVILLE COMES TO PLAY

On the southern edge of the Hill Country town of Kerrville, you'll find one of the crown jewels in that town's civic pride: the Kerrville-Schreiner Park. Though it's occasionally referred to by its former name, “Kerrville State Park,” it's operated and maintained by the city's Parks and Recreation Department. It's the recreational heart of Kerrville, and has served as a popular gathering spot in the Hill Country since the early 20th century.

2023 Christmas Hill Country Vacation on the Guadalupe River is recorded as one to remember ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️- we had a wonderful and beautiful vacation with our 20 year old children, Granny, and pups. Even though it was highs in teens, it quickly warmed up and we got to walk along the river, fish in late afternoon and hit the area attractions in downtown Boerne. Also hiked the Cave with No Name - we missed the tour of cave but the trails are great too. Most importantly celebrate Christmas Eve Mass in town and lunch at the house with extended family. Every morning and late afternoon we would be able to watch the deer frolicking down by the river and on the opposite bank. The hospitality and accommodations were wonderful - will highly recommend to family and friends.

The property is very well maintained and very clean. It is off the beaten path which made the stay very peaceful and relaxing (just what we needed). Watching the wild life every morning and evening from the patio overlooking the Guadalupe River. We hated to leave and can't wait to go back! In addition, thanks Spencer (owner) for your superior communication the entire time.

Casey

The home was excellent. Walk down river access. We fly fished and caught dozens of blue gill, guadelupe bass, large mouth bass and a channel cat. Incredible home. Do yourself a favor and bring family here.

John Logue

We got this house for my daughter and her bridesmaids , they loved it . We could not have stayed at a better place everyone loved it . We will be sending you some pictures as soon as we get them from the photographer. It just topped off an amazing weekend and made her special day even more so. Thanks Backroads we will definitely be using you again in the future.

We really enjoyed all the rental had to offer. We loved the layout of the property. All windows made for such an incredible view. The photos online do not do it justice. The balcony was used the most. Kitchen had everything we needs. Im not sure about the other beds but the king was amazingly comfortable. Our kids loved it. They loved playing in the river. My husband loved exploring. The hill was steep to get down. But that was the only workout we needed for the day. We highly recommend staying here with your family

This is a beautiful home with a spectacular view! The home overlooks the river and with the array of windows, you almost feel as if you are part of the trees. The wildlife and bird watching is fantastic! The river is down the hill (as describe), so would recommend to take everything you need down with you the first time (it's a hike back up), but once you are down there, it is perfection. We were there when the river was low, so the kids had a great time playing, fishing (we were not lucky in the fish department) and exploring the banks. The house itself was great! Everything you could need was there. For you coffee gurus, there was both a Keurig and a drip coffee maker! The location was the right distance from Boerne (about 15/20 minutes). We made our way into town with no trouble. Would also recommend checking out Cave without a name, which is right down the road. All in all, great trip! Highly recommend this location and our hosts were top notch!
