About this property

Walk Out To Lake Access, Sleep 30. Great for Multi-Family, Reunions, or Retreats

Host a one-of-a-kind Guadalupe getaway at this 5-bedroom, 4-bath vacation rental ON THE WATER with space for large groups. It's perfect for multiple families, reunions, and retreats. The Guadalupe Lake Lodge leaves nothing to be desired, from the open floor plan, vaulted ceilings, large bedrooms, high-end furnishings, and water views, to the breezy, 1-acre lot leading right down to the private lakefront on Lake Placid. Lounge under pecan trees, swing your feet off the dock, cook burgers on the grill, and relax, your dream vacation awaits at The Guadalupe Lake Lodge!

-- THE PROPERTY --

5,000 Sq Ft | Private Dock | River Views

With plenty of space for all your loved ones, this property is perfect for multiple families traveling together, large gatherings, or even a spontaneous weekend getaway.

-- Your Private Oasis on Lake Placid --
Guadalupe Lake Lodge features a breezy, 1-acre lot leading right down to our private lakefront. The perfect setting for family reunions, milestone celebrations, corporate retreats, and micro-weddings. Step out of the lodge and enjoy direct water access from our private dock, ideal for lounging under the pecan trees or swinging your feet over the water.

-- Life on the Water --
The Lake is Back! As of Summer 2026, Lake Placid is once again open and a premier Texas destination for water sports. Because this stretch of the Guadalupe River is dammed, it forms a calm, constant-level lake offering plenty of space for wakeboarding, jet skiing, or a peaceful sunset cruise.

From sunrise to sunset, the water is your playground. We encourage you to bring your fishing poles (the fish are biting!), water toys, and life jackets. The calm waters make it the perfect spot for swimming or lounging right off the dock. For safety, we strongly recommend everyone wear a life jacket while in or near the water.

A Note on "Floating the River"
Because our water is dammed, you can float in a tube but you likely won't get far downstream. If your group is looking for the traditional Texas river tubing experience, the outfitters for the Comal and Guadalupe rivers in New Braunfels are an easy 15 to 20-minute drive away.

-- Watercraft & Rentals --
You can rent kayaks, paddle-boards, pontoons, and boats through Red Beard Rentals. They can deliver and pick up from our dock. While our boat lift is non-functional, you can easily tie up to the dock to access the house.

Convenience for Boat Owners:
* Public Boat Ramp: The Lake Placid Public Boat Ramp is located just five minutes away under the I10 overpass.
* Parking: We offer watercraft trailer and overflow parking
* RVs: You are welcome to park an RV in our overflow area with advance permission.

OUTDOOR LIVING: 1-acre of land, waterfront access, wraparound balcony, park-style charcoal grill, propane grill, fire pit, dock

INDOOR LIVING: 6 flat-screen TVs, open floor plan, formal dining table, 4 bath tubs

KITCHEN: Fully equipped w/ stainless steel appliances, electric cooktop, dishwasher, oven, large kitchen island

GENERAL: Laundry room with washer/dryer, air conditioning, free WiFi, linens/towels

AESTHETICS: Tongue & groove pine ceilings, recessed lighting, wall-to-wall windows

We had an amazing stay at this spacious lake house. Our group of three families had plenty of room to spread out while enjoying time together. The home was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described.The well-equipped kitchen made it easy to prepare meals for a large group. The outdoor space was a highlight, with hours spent enjoying the lake, relaxing, and making memories.The peaceful and convenient location, along with the responsive and easy-to-communicate host, exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this property for a spacious, comfortable lake house for a family getaway or group vacation.

My friends, family, and kids all had a great time at the lakehouse! We caught fish, made smores by the campfire, played pingpong and some other games we brought, and enjoyed an overall great weekend. We all liked the very spacious bedrooms, which is particularly great if you have smaller kids. The kitchen had everything we needed, and once we checked in we didn't have to leave at all. There's also lots of room to stretch out so you don't feel like you're cramped, even with a lot of guests. Highly recommend!.

Thank you for the wonderful review! We love hearing that your family and friends had such a great time catching fish on Lake Placid and making memories around the campfire. Providing a 5,000 sq ft lake house with spacious bedrooms and a fully equipped kitchen is exactly why we designed Guadalupe Lake Lodge for large groups and families with smaller kids. It's our favorite compliment when guests say they never want to leave the property! Glad you had plenty of room to stretch out and enjoy the Guadalupe River waterfront. We hope to welcome your crew back to McQueeney for another perfect weekend getaway soon!

We all really enjoyed this house. We're a group of couples that do getaways once a year. We have been coming to the New Braunfels/ Seguin/ McQueeney area for over 10 years. This home has allowed us to have lots of privacy and space when we needed it. We was so excited about the lake levels being back up. Check-in was very easy and the host responds and take of things very quickly.

Thank you for the fantastic review! We are absolutely honored that a group with over 10 years of experience vacationing in the New Braunfels, Seguin, and McQueeney area chose Guadalupe Lake Lodge for your annual trip. Providing a 5,000 sq ft lake house with the perfect balance of privacy and gathering space for multi-family getaways and groups of couples is exactly what we aim for. We share your excitement about the Lake Placid water levels being back up to a full, constant level, it truly brings the Guadalupe River waterfront to life! We hope to become one of your go-to destination for the next 10 years of tradition!

We’re so glad you enjoyed the house and that the spacious backyard & pecan trees provided a gorgeous backdrop for your stay. You’re right that the water levels on Lake Placid have been lower recently due to the dam construction, but we have some exciting news! The dam project is complete and the lake is full again as of April 2026! We’re happy you felt well-taken care of and hope to host you again at Guadalupe Lake Lodge for even more fun near New Braunfels!

Overall stay was very good for our family reunion over the 4th of July. The neighbors put on quite the fireworks display! We were a little cramped for beds because some older adults could not make the pullout couches work for them. I would definitely only put kids on those beds. Kitchen was well appointed, grill was not clean upon arrival due to no grill brush being available. Only other cleaning issue was the floor looked clean upon arrival, but everyone’s feet were black on the bottom that went barefoot in the house? not sure what caused that ?? Everyone had fun in the water, I discussed with host that the listing shows a kayak and canoe being on site . She was going to fix that, they can be rented in the area, but not included with the house rental. Overall, I would give it an 8/10 score. 10/10 if the pullout couches had regular mattresses to put on the frames. Communication was easy, and one small plumbing leak was fixed immediately upon arrival. Very easy check in. I know I pointed out a few problems, but that is just to help future renters, we still had a great time. THANKS!

We were a large group in town for my brother’s funeral. My sister in law’s house was too small to entertain so many family members and friends and the McQueeney house was perfect. Only 10 of us stayed overnight but it couldn’t have been better. Close to the funeral in New Braunfels and close-ish to Fort Sam Houston. It was beautiful and comfortable and well appointed.

About the host

Hosted by Jessica

Host profile image
Hi! I'm Jess! My brother and I manage this beautiful property. We're excited to host you and your family and look forward to hearing about the many memories being made.

Why they chose this property

The house is beautiful and designed for entertaining large groups with spacious and open plan and large bedrooms. Also, with a large backyard up against Lake Placid, it's the perfect place for a short or long getaway with the extended family. The views of the lake from the elevated house surrounded by old growth pecan trees is spectacular.

What makes this property unique

The house has direct lake access with a limited walk to the water. The elevated house (12' off the ground) allows for plenty of outdoor activity area below the house and has a nice breeze blowing through it during the dregs of summers. The large pecan trees give the property a park-like feel.
