About this property

The Nueces River Retreat - Room #5

This property was run as a small motel for 50 years by my grandmother, marketed as a "hunter's paradise". We have been slowly renovating the property, and now have four rooms and the Gathering House that are available for select dates. Room #5 consists of two King beds, a bathroom with a tub and shower, a/c, heat, Keurig coffee maker, microwave, and a mini-refrigerator. We have added 55" TVs, and Wi-Fi is available to our guests! The room has had a "face lift", with new paint and black-out curtains. There is a breezeway right outside the room for you to use, as well as a charcoal barbeque pit.

We are near the Nueces River where you can enjoy fishing, swimming, and kayaking. There are several restaurants in the area, including our onsite coffee shop, Barksdale Coffee Company! It is open Monday-Saturday and offers great breakfast and lunch options, as well as some of the best coffee in the area! There is also the Chicken Coop across the street (open Mon-Wed & Fri only), and some amazing businesses to shop during your stay.

There is a 2 night minimum on our rooms. We make exceptions for guests on motorcycles or bicycles who are riding the Two Twisted Sisters route or through our beautiful area, and for out of town guests who are attending one-day events. Please call us at 512.981.7876 for more information!

Please note - We are a smoke-free facility! There is a $50 non-refundable pet fee for those with pre-approved dogs.
