About this property

Guadalupe River Road Retreat Bluebird Cabin

Welcome to Bluebird Cabin at the The Guadalupe River Road Retreat! We have three additional cabins (VRBO codes 7914761, 7911593, and 9451823) sharing six beautiful acres of Guadalupe river frontage, where guests are free to wander the park like setting under the shade of majestic oaks, pecans, and cypress trees. Enjoy fantastic views of the Guadalupe river from cabin decks and bench swings, take a nap in a hammock, relax and cook smores at our firepits, or play tennis day or night on our newly resurfaced tennis court, and of course spend time in and on the river!

Our retreat differs from many of the rental options on the river. We cater to families, couples, reunions and small groups who want a tranquil environment and wish to avoid the rowdy crowds and party cabins. We strictly limit group sizes to what the cabins can comfortably accommodate, and we enforce our property rules regarding day guests, loud music, and disorderly conduct. If you are looking for an oasis on the river, a place where you can have fun but also relax in comfort, peace, and privacy, Guadalupe River Road Retreat is the place for you!

General info.

The Guadalupe River Road Retreat is located at 8910 River Road between the second and third crossing, halfway between Gruene and Canyon Lake, and is accessible via an electric gate (code provided upon booking).

We have two river access points, a concrete dock with steps down, or via a natural path down to a sitting area under the canopy of two massive cypress trees. Across the river from the property is a unique limestone expanse carved by the river where guests frequently enjoy hanging out, playing in the water, and watching the toobers float by.

There are multiple river outfitters within a short distance of the property, with the closest being Mountain Breeze which is less than a quarter mile from our access gate.

Gruene Texas, famous for its shops, restaurants, and the historic Gruene Dance Hall, is only nine miles (15 to 20 minutes south of our location). Sattler, where guests can find a small grocery store, gas, and other necessities, is only five miles (approximately 13 minutes) to the north.

Relaxation
Perfect spot on the river! Beautiful trees, flowers, and plenty of wildlife! The new geese are amazing! Carlton and Laura go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Have been a regular since the year they opened their paradise home to outsiders and will continue coming back!

What a Wonderful and Relaxing Property
We had the most amazing and relaxing time at this cabin, three nights was not enough though! Carlton and his wife do everything they can to make you feel welcome and relaxed, and we cannot thank them enough for their hospitality. We will be back next year for our annual river trip!

Fabulous location!
This property was perfect for our family. We had two grandkids with us ages 4 and 8. They loved the large outside area with plenty of room to run and play. Having river access was a huge plus. The owners are more than gracious and very welcoming. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a relaxing fun get-a-way.

Heaven on the Guadalupe
We always enjoy our stay at this large, beautiful property! Plenty of shade and very peaceful. We love watching the local birds and critters from the patio. The cabin is well-equipped, beautifully landscaped and the owners are very attentive to guests’ needs. Easy, direct access to the river (no rickety docks or ladders). You can drive minutes from the property to launch your tubes and just float back “home,” or you could easily spend your entire stay in the shallows near the cabin. Highly recommend!
