About this property
Ponderosa Paradise- Waterfront Home on the Guadalupe River!
Welcome to Ponderosa Paradise, a riverfront retreat tucked beneath the shade of ancient cypress and pecan trees along the Guadalupe River. This cozy two-bedroom, two-bath home comfortably accommodates up to eight guests, with a spacious primary suite featuring a king bed, smart TV, sleeper sofa, and private ensuite bath with a walk-in shower, while the second bedroom offers a comfortable queen bed with easy access to the full hallway bath. Another sleeper sofa in the living area provides flexible sleeping arrangements, making the home an ideal fit for families or groups of friends traveling together.
Inside, the open-concept living room invites you to relax with comfortable furnishings, a smart TV, and large windows that frame glimpses of the river beyond. The fully equipped kitchen is stocked with all the essentials — full-size appliances, cookware, dinnerware, and a coffee maker — perfect for whipping up breakfast before a day on the water or gathering for a hearty meal after the sun sets. Meals can be enjoyed indoors at the dining table or carried outside to the deck, where the river breeze and the rustle of leaves create the perfect backdrop.
Step out back and discover multiple deck spaces designed for easy, laid-back outdoor living. The main deck is shaded and comfortably furnished—perfect for sipping coffee at sunrise or enjoying a glass of wine in the evening. Just below, a second deck sits beneath the trees, offering a peaceful, breezy spot to relax. The lower deck brings you right to the edge of the Guadalupe, where a short path leads down to the riverbank. From here, you can wade into the cool, clear water—or cast a line into one of the best trout fisheries in Texas. The Guadalupe is stocked with rainbow and brown trout each winter by Texas Parks & Wildlife, making it a favorite for anglers from November through May. Whether you're fly fishing at sunrise or simply soaking in the view, this is a riverfront experience you won't forget.
When you're ready to explore, the area is filled with options. Within ten minutes you can be at Whitewater Amphitheater, Texas' top riverside music venue, or shopping and dining in the nearby village of Sattler. A short drive takes you to Canyon Lake and its scenic dam overlook, where boating, swimming, and hiking await, and just a little farther are the historic towns of Gruene and New Braunfels, home to dance halls, tubing, and local wineries.
At the end of each day, return to your private slice of the river where the sounds of flowing water and the glow of starlit skies remind you why this part of Texas is called the Water Recreation Capital. Whether you spend your mornings fishing, your afternoons floating, or your evenings gathered on the deck with family and friends, your time at Ponderosa Paradise will feel like the Hill Country getaway you've been waiting for.
You must be 25 years or older to rent this property. Maximum occupancy at all times is 8 guests and 3 vehicles. No smoking or pets are allowed.
Enjoy your time in paradise at Ponderosa Paradise on the beautiful Guadalupe River!
