Lazy U Lodge on the Guadalupe

** No guests under 21 years old allowed and the booking guest must be 30 years old**

The Lazy U Ranch Lodge is a beautiful lake view vacation rental in the Texas Hill Country, dedicated to simplicity and reflection on the values of a bygone age in the American west. The ranch sometimes serves as a respite for our country's soldiers and veterans to return to civilian life at their own pace, with the respect, honor, and support they deserve. While members of our military are welcomed here, you need not be one to enjoy the property.

The Lazy U Ranch is owned by a fifth-generation Texas family, with an emphasis on the respect and preservation of its natural beauty-it's one of the prettiest vacation ranch rentals around! This is God's country, and it's maintained that God got it right the first time around-so no pesticides or non-organic fertilizers are ever used here. A registered herd of Texas Longhorns roam the ranch, as does abundant bird and wildlife-among them coyotes, deer, bobcats, and over 140 species of birds. The Lodge's 30-foot enclosed and windowed porch, on a second-story elevation, makes it a perfect observation post for wildlife-watching. Binoculars are provided, too!

The Lodge's deck overlooks a quarter-mile stretch of private riverfront, known as Lake Placid. The river is perfect for a cool swim, or just relaxing and reflecting in this little slice of God's country. It's an amazing Hill Country setting for fun weekend getaways for couples! We do ask our guests to be aware that there are often veteran-oriented activities that take place on the ranch, and during these events you may be sharing the waterfront, and the surrounding grounds, with them.

Step into the Lodge, and you'll see one of the many features that make this place truly special, and the best lodge in Seguin. The foyer here serves as a museum of both Texan and American military history, highlighted by mementos and photographs from the family's history that encompasses every American conflict since the Civil War. The Lodge also includes an expansive reading library, focused on the Lone Star State's rich history. The fact that reading is emphasized at the ranch leads us to a concept that's influential here: simplicity!

That means what you won't find here are computers, phones, or other distracting trappings that draw attention away from the people around you. Fellowship and conversation are key here, and the spacious Stockyard Room provides ample space for that, in an intimate yet roomy bar room setting complete with an antique wood stove. This room also features two authentic vintage Murphy beds (the type that swing down from the wall). Knotty pine wood walls and oak and red pine flooring give this ranch house that special and inviting Texas style.

The Lodge features three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, which, along with the Murphy beds, supply comfortable sleeping accommodations for up to eight people. All bed and bath linens are provided for your stay, and ceiling fans and central air conditioning and heating will assure your interior comfort. There is also an enormous commercial kitchen, with all the appliances and utensils to fulfill your culinary needs. There's even a genuine butcher block!

This perfect waterfront vacation rental hideaway is steeped in the proud histories of both Texas and the American military, in a restful and rejuvenating setting. Backroads Reservations is proud to play a part in this unique getaway, and we'd love to introduce you to all the Lazy U Ranch has to offer. Call us today! A portion of rental proceeds goes to benefit the warfighter programs sponsored by the SS American Memorial Foundation. For more information on the Foundation, please search online for SSA Memorial.
