Quiet and beautiful part to stay, my kids are old enough to swim alone, and their best part was floating in front of the house!

Highly Recommend

The house is right on the river and perfectly positioned to go up river and float back to house or start at the house and float to L&L and get out. The house is the perfect fit for our annual girls trip. We have rented this location 3 times now and will continue to use it!!!!

Very charming house with river access. We had a wonderful time tubing the Guadalupe river and enjoying the beautiful property. Two foxes and a racoon visited us in the evening while we enjoyed the cool breeze on the covered deck. We also enjoyed morning yoga near the river.
Gorgeous and serene float on the river. Floated right to the house from 4th Crossing--took about 3.5 hours.
Morning yoga
This beautiful tree provided shade for yoga.
We practically had the river to ourselves!

Perfect get away

Very clean, beds were super comfy, and the location was perfect. Great little spot to fish in the morning before the tubes start appearing. At night it was so amazing to see all the lightening bugs. And of course the floating was perfect.

Great Vacation

We’ve been coming to Sadler Texas for about 14 years and have rented quite frequently from Robert and VRBO. Love the location love the scenery and would recommend this House Rental to anyone. You won’t be disappointed. The host Robert is great and very helpful with anything you need or any questions you have to ask.

Quaint place on river

Great house on the Guadalupe. Location is great for people that want to tube or get out to scenic near by towns. River a little low so getting in and out at the property is a little challenging if older. There is a rope to assist.

Better than expected

The pictures don't do this gem justice. The home is nicely equipped and extremely clean. The location is absolutely perfect, lots to do right on the river. We fished in Canyon Lake and enjoyed the nightlife in Gruene and San Antonio. Book this property if you are looking for a peaceful and fun vacation.

Nice place on the river

Cozy little house, clean, and everything worked well. Owner was communicative and easy to deal with. Only improvement is we've stayed at similar places that furnished canoes / kayaks but they cost more, so not a big deal at all. Would definitely stay there again!

The Peace of Wild Things

There is a poem by Wendell Berry titled The Peace of Wild Things that I find fitting for this property. The back porch, river, and trees were all what was needed.

Long weekend looking for serene tranquility

The property inside was clean, comfortable and as presented. However, the exterior was sorely overlooked. The front lawn appeared to not having been mowed in a month and all windows are covered in thick spider webs and bugs. You can’t appreciate the view of the river and beautiful tree canopy from inside.

Mold city

I was there with four other women. We all feel awful after being there. I am severely allergic to mold. Water started coming up through the floors. The owner said it was HVAC. It appears to us to be an ongoing problem. My face swelled up and my ears ache / and one of my friends left early because of it. The owner said he was sorry we had to go through that. I believe this was a known issue before we rented.

Very nice place

My family and I stayed for three days in July and wished we had more time. The property is gorgeous, tranquil, and peaceful. My boys, 6 and 7, went fishing every morning and caught their first fish. The house is well maintained, clean, and backs up on the river. The river outfitters at the front of the neighborhood were awesome. They dropped us off up the river, and we could float to the house. The place is the perfect house for a family of 5, and I would recommend it to anyone. We will be staying again in the future. Shout out to the owner's "great place, and thank you."

About the host

Hosted by Robert Barrow

Host profile image
We purchased this property in 1994 as a place to use for friends and family. We have shared our house with many since 1994 and hope to keep doing so for years to come.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this house because it was right on the water and in the Texas Hill Country. We had visited the area several times and just happened to luck out finding the house for sale. The house is priced very competitively to similar properties making a great choice for accommodating 2 to 6 people.

What makes this property unique

The house is centrally located on the upper part of the river. This provides our quests with options for venturing out to other local establishments or attractions. The house sits in a quiet neighborhood about 4 miles from Canyon Lake. The river in this section runs deep and slow. This allows for swimming or just hanging out in a tube tied to our deck or one of the many cypress trees roots. The house is located about 5 minute walking distance from a river outfitter and makes it very easy to rent tubes or rafts without having to drive. We strive to keep a well maintained and clean house for our quests to enjoy.
