About this property

Quiet Hill-Country Get-A-Away For Families/Small Groups. Winter Texans Welcome!

Beautiful, well-furnished 2-bedroom, 2-bath cabin (actually a house with a cozy cabin feel) in the Texas Hill Country just outside of New Braunfels, Texas and minutes away from the historic town of Gruene, the quaint town of Wimberley and the famous outlet shops in San Marcos. Also only an hour away from the larger cities of Austin and San Antonio.

Our property offers a quiet, serene get-a-way with over 400 feet of frontage along the cold and refreshing Guadalupe River. Included with your stay are complimentary sit-on-top kayaks, paddle boats, tubes and SUP's (Stand Up Paddleboards). All the popular lake activities (sailing, jet skiing, etc) available just down the road on Canyon Lake. All modern conveniences including central ac/heat, cable TV and wireless internet. Indoor fireplace and covered outdoor seating area with fireplace and gas grill. Great place for fun in the sun during the summer months and an exceptionally serene retreat during our moderate-weathered winter months. Winter Texans are always welcome and be sure to contact us for special discounted rates for stays of 30 days or more.

FYI, our cabin is very nicely furnished, but is not huge. Although we can actually sleep 10 people in the 5 available queen-size beds (2 in each bedroom and a sofa sleeper in the living room), it can get a bit cramped at times with larger groups, depending on how "cozy" you want to be. Although we have had several groups of 8-10 people who have enjoyed their stay, it is our opinion that six is the most that can fit "comfortably" in our cabin. Of course, we have plenty of room outside for entertaining.

Perfect

This property is perfect for a family or group of friends to get away. Great location on the river just before the horseshoe bend. We used the property provided kayaks to paddle up and down river to fish. The place easily accommodated our group of 4 and we will definitely come back to it.

Wonderful getaway

This is turning into an annual trip. We've used this wonderful two bedroom house for a fly fishing trip the last two years. The hosts are friendly and great you at the door upon arrival. They have a wonderful set up with outdoor living space, fire pit, grill, and access to the river. A great way to disconnect from the city.

Peaceful and cozy

Loved this place. Cabin is very clean, well equipped, full size appliances, comfortable and tastefully decorated. It is surrounded by cedars and oaks, very private. The owners live just down the road but respected our privacy. They are very gracious hostess’s. They provided a bag of ice in freezer, firewood for the fireplace, and as many k cups for the Kuerug we wanted.

Always a great stay

We have been staying at this property for years and will continue to do so as long as it is available. The house is always super clean. The owners continually update the house. Beds and furniture are comfortable. Use of the river toys are a plus! The owners are great and have put a lot of thought into all the details of your stay. Looking forward to our stay next year.

The BEST

Hospitality was amazing. My family and I are outside people so this house on the water was perfect for us. The house came with enough kayaks for all of us. The river was steps away from the house. Although the owner lives close to the property, he was very courteous of our privacy. The house is exactly what it looks like in the pictures. If you are thinking about renting this house, just do it. You will NOT regret it.

What a gem by the Guadalupe River

This property exceeded our expectations. It was close to Whitewater Amphitheater where we enjoyed a great concert. The property owners were very welcoming and courteous and made sure we had everything we needed to make our weekend trip the best. The property was the perfect place to enjoy not only the nearby attractions, but also with one of the best accesses to the Guadalupe river! It will be a place that we intend to return to in the near future.

Great spot on the Guadalupe River!

Had a great weekend away with the family, including 2 teenagers. Great place for paddling around on kayaks and SUPs, and for fishing. Water is cold on this stretch of the river! The beds were comfortable, and we enjoyed grilling out, dining, playing games, and watching the basketball game on the covered porch. And the hosts are super nice and welcoming!

About the host

Hosted by Ralph Voss

Host profile image
I'm an ex-civil engineer who was lucky enough to have this beautiful property passed down to me by prior generations of my family. I have spent most of my life trying to find a way to make this property my full-time home. Finally, after marrying my beautiful Argentine wife, Analia, we decided to build the rental cabin in 2007 so we could enjoy and share this one-of-a-kind property with others. Ana and I both are very active recreational athletes who love to bike, swim, hike and run. Ana is currently a nine-time Ironman finisher with plans for more in the future.

Why they chose this property

This property has been in my family since the late 1950's. With our personal home on site, we decided to build the rental cabin in 2007 so we could share this beautiful, unique slice of heaven with others.

What makes this property unique

The combination of the beautiful outdoor setting with the modern, fully-equipped amenities of our luxurious cabin offers both the opportunity for quiet rest and relaxation as well as fun activities and sports on the river. The fall and winter months are particularly peaceful and a great time to enjoy both our indoor and outdoor fireplaces. And with ample shopping, dining and entertainment choices just minutes away you can rest assured you will never be bored during your stay!
