Photos and Description of the Canyon Lake vacation house rental
2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom

A picturesque waterfall runs across this quiet stretch of the Guadalupe River, creating a perfect place for wading on one side, and for exploring or just putting our lawn chairs in the river and relaxing on the other side. The location is perfect for using our kayak, and you can tube right out our back door. A favorite pastime is watching the river go by from the three-tiered, large riverside flagstone patio (not yet in our pictures). It is also a wildlife magnet, with osprey and heron fishing here. Oh, and so do the fly fishermen, as this trophy section of the river is stocked with trout from November through February directly across the river. All of this can be enjoyed from the multiple layers of decks outside of this charming, well-appointed, and recently remodeled (2010) house with all of the creature comforts. The many activities of Canyon Lake, Gruene, and New Braunfels are also just a short drive away.

Special Events and Festivals: The Texas Hill Country boasts many different events and festivals throughout the year. Below is just a sample of them. You can Google any of these for more info...

Gruene Market Days (every 3rd weekend Feb - Nov) -- 100s of vendors for Texas crafts and foods; Whitewater Amphitheater (spring & summer) -- concert venue 3 miles away. Listen to your favorite bands riverside; Texas Clay Festival (4th weekend in October) -- Gruene brings Texas potters to sell their craft and demo for kids; Wurstfest (early November) -- New Braunfels' Octoberfest; Christmas Holidays -- New Braunfels, Gruene, Canyone Lake, and San Antonio all have special events; Live Music -- Summertime brings lots of live music to Gruene & New Braunfels; Troutfest (February) -- Down the street and in our backyard; Fiesta San Antonio (April) -- Music, dancing in the streets, large festival; Kerrville Folk Festival (May/June) -- longest running musical festival of its kind;

Nearby Attractions: Canyon Lake (5-10 mi) - one of the deepest lakes in Texas; 80 miles of shoreline; all the usual lake activities; Canyon Lake Golf Club (5 mi); Schlitterbahn (10 mi) - nation's best water amusement park; Landa Park (10 mi) - great park in New Braunfels; San Marcos Outlet Stores (11 mi); Gruene Historical District (12 mi) - shopping, antiques, Gruene Hall, old town charm; Dry Comal Creek Vineyards (13 mi); Aquarena Nature Center (15 mi) - glass bottom boat & glass bottom kayak tours of wetlands; Wimberley (18 mi) - one of America's 10 Best Small Towns; Natural Bridge Caverns (21 mi) - chambers of underground caverns - a natural wonder; Wonder World (21 mi) - cave and themepark rolled into one; Guadalupe River State Park (29 mi); Six Flags Fiesta Texas (30 mi); Sea World San Antonio (41 mi); LBJ National Historic Park & Birthplace (45 mi); San Antonio (River Walk, the Alamo, the Missions, Zoo) (47 mi); Austin (State Capital, University of TX, 6th Street (56 mi)

Tubing, Kayaking, and Fishing: Tubing: This is a great section of the river to launch your tubing trip. No need to rent a tube, just drive up river and float down to the house or toob the horseshoe, which is just a couple of miles from the house (see our guide in the house for more information)....Kayaking: The river is usually at a level such that paddling upstream is quite easy, even for the kids. Then you can float back effortlessly toward the house. We provide a two person kayak with paddles and life jackets....Fishing: Fishing is a popular pastime on the Guadalupe, and the waterfall in our backyard is a popular spot for fish and anglers alike. Both the Texas Parks and Wildlife and Guadalupe River Trout Unlimited stock the river with trout between November and February, and the fish thrive in the cool waters of the Guadalupe, which was recently voted one of the top 100 trout streams in the US.

Nearest Airport : Austin or San Antonio at 50 Miles

Nearest Restaurant : Several restaurants less than a mile away at 1 Miles

This house is on the Guadalupe River in the Texas Hill Country between Canyon Lake and New Braunfels. It is the best of both worlds...you hear nothing but the sounds of the waterfall on this quiet stretch of the river, yet you are only minutes from the many Canyon Lake activities as well as New Braunfels' shopping, restaurants, and Schlitterbahn, the nation's best water amusement park. But with groceries, gas, and restaurants all located within a mile or so from the house, swimming, fishing, and use of our tubes and kayaks right off the back patio, there is no reason to go anywhere else. But, if you must, you are also close to arts, crafts, and antiquing in Gruene as well as over 240 stores at the Outlet Malls in San Marcos. And, of course, Austin, the live music capital of the world, is an hour away. It is even quicker to get to the many attractions that San Antonio has to offer, such as Sea World, Six Flags, the Riverwalk, and the Alamo.

Needed To Get Away!

5 of 5
Submitted: April 16, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
I really enjoyed my 1 week stay here, found it to be very quiet and relaxing. The sound of the river below the homewas soothing for the nerves. The home was very clean and just as described. I played 5 local golf courses which was quite a joy with the elevation changes (I'm from FLA). The weather was cool several nights and the fireplace was great. The home came ready with all the essentials and I recommend it to any couples or small families.

It was another great trip to the river. This was our second stay at the river house and we loved it even more now that we know the area. Looking forward to coming back soon.

Paradise - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

5 of 5
Submitted: March 2, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
We arrived on a Thursday afternoon and immediately feel in love with the place. Easy drive from the Dallas area! Beautiful scenery, lovely house and the views of the river were magnificant. The soothing sound of the river flowing was extremely relaxing. We saw several deer across the field each morning around 6:50 a.m. My husband brought his kayak however 2 were available to use on the property, which I tried kayaking for the first time myself, LOVED IT! Extremely easy to get into the water right in front of the property. Alot of people fishing for trout and my husband caught a nice 20" one.

In regards to the house itself, it was a home away from home! We brought things we thought we might need but didn't need them as the kitchen was well stocked with all the gadgets and applicances. We loved having a microwave, dishwasher and washer/dryer. It was nice having the "soaps" available for use as well. The beds were very comfortable and we were able to use the fireplace which made a romantic setting. The little extras were wonderful down to the Qtips in the restroom. We loved the information notebooks on the coffee table, very useful. Instructions for the different items in the house were very helpful.

We did try the local barbeque place and Sweenies donuts which was very good. We cooked most of our food at the house. Enjoyed morning coffee on the 3 different sitting areas outside while watching the fish jump, deer and squirrels!

I would highly recommend this place to anyone, we already have next years trip booked!

Thank you for sharing your wonderful piece of Paradise!

Rental 358785 - A Little Piece of Heaven

5 of 5
Submitted: February 10, 2013 Stayed: January 2013
Our five weeks at the river house could not have been any better!!!!. The pictures do not do the place justice!!! The view is amazing!!! The owners have thought of everything you could ever wish for to make your stay pleasant. The home was spotless when we arrived. A fresh boutique of flowers were waiting for us on the breakfast bar which was an unexpected surprise!! Working with the owner is very easy. He returns emails promptly and accurately. We will definitely recommend this place to our friends. While we were there we were able to watch the stocking of the river with trout which was very interesting. Watching the fisherman and wildlife each day was great. We actually watch two hawlks build a nest in one of the trees right in front of the house. It was fascinating to watch how they went about their project. We will definitely be returning to thie "little piece of heaven"!!!

A River Runs Through It...

5 of 5
Submitted: December 4, 2012 Stayed: November 2012
What a wonderful way to spend 7 days over the Thanksgving holiday. Complete with early morning fishing, mid-day kayaking, afternoon naps, evening games and nightime moon-gazing this was the perfect holiday in the perfect place. Chris and Amanda have thought of everything. One need only bring something to wear, something to eat and drink and of course, something to fish with. The sound of the river will soothe all that ails you. In fact, the only problem with this retreat is that it is difficult to leave.
Thank you for sharing this slice of heaven.
