Nice place. I’m from the area originally. Had a wedding to attend so lots of family in town and we decided to give up staying with family since we had to leave early on Sunday. This spot was really quiet even though the place next door was occupied. We were so busy though we didn’t get to fully enjoy it! The river had come back up so the view was back to normal, which is super great. I meant to take pictures of the squirrels and whistler ducks, just got to busy watching and drinking coffee while the other slept in. My parents would probably get mad if I stayed here more than their house. But if it’s full I know where to go!!! Thanks Laura!

About the host

Hosted by Laura Wooley

Host profile image
Hi! We’re a water-loving family who fell in love with Seguin after years of sneaking away from our busy life in Austin. What started as quick weekend trips to the Guadalupe River turned into buying a place of our own… and eventually a few more!

Now I manage our properties full-time, which lets me spend more time with our growing family—and share this little slice of lake life with guests like you. It’s truly our favorite place to unwind, and we hope it becomes one of yours too!

Why they chose this property

Guests choose The Agave for the lakefront setting, easy water access, free kayaks, excellent fishing, and peaceful Lake Placid views. It’s a comfortable Seguin getaway for couples, small families, and weekend trips, with a king bed, outdoor seating, grill, and quick access to New Braunfels, Gruene, San Marcos, San Antonio, and Austin.

What makes this property unique

Over 100 feet of lakefront, free kayaks, fishing from shore or dock, peaceful water views, private interior space, covered carport, back porch with grill and outdoor dining, plus a king bedroom with a premium Nectar hybrid mattress.
