What a perfect river house. You do need your own towels so don’t forget that, but the house has more than what you need of everything else. Walking down to sit in the river is great. You can bring your own chairs and floats and stay right there in front of the house, but there’s also a place next door that will rent you a tube and shuttle you down to float the river.

Loved the house and it was perfect for our family. We make this trip every year, and we would definitely love to stay here again. Kent was an incredible and gracious host, and our family loved being so close to the river. Thank you again Kent for your hospitality and the use of your beautiful house!

Perfect River Retreat

This was the perfect house for our river trip. Excellent location on the river and the house was extremely comfortable with 1 king / 6 queen beds. The host was very responsive and I will book this house for our next river trip. (Tip: host is up front about it but make sure to bring own soap/shampoo)

Great Break

We rented this home for our yearly friends river trip. House was great and the kitchen was supplied for all your cooking needs. Even with hot summer days the porch is great in the mornings. It was also nice being right next to Caps for tube rental or just a short walk from the water to hang out. Would definitely stay here in the future

Very nice and easy instructions to get in!

Very nice property and the entry instructions were extremely convenient. There are several other houses in the gated neighborhood, so a few of our friends got to have fun with other people in the area, while other members of our party could stay upstairs and hang out with our friends. Really great time and will use them again in the future if we are planning to stay in the area!

Villa #5 Stay

My family was very pleased with the house. Mr. Kent Fowler was excellent at answering all of our questions and always did it in a short amount of time. We only had one complaint, the music was so loud from the houses beside us that we could not even carry on a conversation among ourselves because we couldn't hear each other speak. The volume of the music should be monitored. Respectfully, Teresa Bates

Great spot on the river!

We had a wonderful trip at River Road Villa #5! The living space and kitchen are MUCH bigger in person than they come across online, which was great for our group! The kitchen was very well appointed and had tons of seating. We loved that the 4th bedroom was separated downstairs, which worked for part of our group so they didn't have to hear our children early in the morning. We had several groups in other houses that played music fairly late, although it seemed everyone followed the 11pm no music rule and it thankfully wasn't too loud inside the house and the kids slept through it. It's a short walk down to the river - highly recommend bringing a wagon to cart everything - and while it's shallow right at the entry, it does get deeper straight out. We ended up putting our pop up tent in across the river and upstream about 50 ft and it was perfect. We will definitely come back for future river trips!

Great house, Close to Fun, Easy walk to Guadalupe

We were a group of friends who have a trip every year for a long weekend every summer and our ages range from 30 - 60. This year was fun and we are glad we chose River Road and this location. Pros: Location was great. Quick into New Braunfels and Gruene. Plenty of places for food and fun near the house, but great places to eat, etc.. within a couple of minutes. River was super low everywhere but the river at the house was great. House itself was nice, furniture on porch and in living room is just starting to be a bit worn but still nice. Bedrooms, beds and bathrooms were great. Kitchen was very nice, large and well stocked and appointed. Cons: One of the bedrooms/bathroom is the only room on the ground / first level. It is not accessible from the second level without going outside and up/down outside stairs. None of us were comfortable using it and rearranged so that everyone was in the house upstairs. Wasn't bad, just wasn't evident from the listing unless we just missed it. We loved sitting on the deck (it's second level and had great views) but in the evenings the noise was intrusive. The houses in this development are very close in and the music being enjoyed by the three closest to us was in strong competition for loudest and there was no cut off time to this music. So if relaxing on the porch to your own music on low is important, weekends in this house in the summer may not be the place. It's a very active area for all adult ages and not many children - so the party is on. :) Overall, we would come back to this area. Good value for the money.

About the host

Hosted by Kent Fowler

Host profile image
My family grew up and lives in the suburbs of Houston.

Why they chose this property

We have vacationed on River road and New Braunfels area our whole life. We have actually stayed in River Road Villas before. When one of the houses came up for sale last year, we decided to invest our time and energy into the area. We bought the house in December of 2017 and would like to share our little piece of paradise on the Guadalupe river with you.

What makes this property unique

Great section of river to float between 2nd and 3rd bridge crossings. You float through the natural tube chute just down stream from the house.
