About this property

Slow down, Catch some fireflies, Lake McQueeney! Lake front, 7 bedrooms, 5 baths

Your family's spot on the lake.

Tucked along the shore of Lake McQueeney, a dammed lake on the Guadalupe River. This waterfront home has been a gathering place for families who know how to slow down and enjoy themselves. Big yard. Fire pit. A swim dock. A boathouse deck, a rope swing into the lake, and a front row view of the water skiers. Cold drinks and nowhere to be.

Lake McQueeney is a residential lake with longtime locals, weekend neighbors, and the unhurried atmosphere bigger Texas lakes lost years ago. Close enough to New Braunfels, Gruene, and the Bandit Golf Club. 5 Minutes from the Lake McQueeney ski lodge.

McQueeney Family Guesthouse Sleeps 17. Comfortably. Seven bedrooms, five bathrooms, and enough space to share with the whole crew, whether that's multiple families, a golf group, or just a very large and enthusiastic extended family. Reserve early, we only rent 14 nights per year and when complete we block the calendar, Hope to see you on the lake soon.

Great 4th of July stay

Two brothers' families stayed at this property over the 4th of July with ages ranging from 16 to 50. The location was ideal as it was right on the water. We were able to see fireworks from the top of the boat house. We had fun watching the boats cruise by, with festive decorations. Monica met us at the house for check-in and walked us through the property which was extremely helpful. The house is beautiful and the kitchen is well stocked. The teens (and dads) thoroughly enjoyed the rope swing. There is only one television in the house but we didn't mind as we were busy the entire time. We would definitely stay again.

Golf get-away weekend

We had 14 guys stay at this property for a golf/reunion weekend at The Bandit (10 minutes away). The house was exactly what we were looking for - enough beds for everyone, four bathrooms (all with showers), a big and well-equipped kitchen, and lots of space inside and out for us to spread out, chat about each day's golf game, and catch up with one another. And the A/C kept the place cool even though the thermometer hit 101 each afternoon. Monica, the owner, was fantastic to work with, and couldn't have been more helpful and responsive with anything we had a question about. The only downside was not being able to use the lake because of the ongoing repairs to the dam, but everyone was enthusiastic about visiting again when the water level is back up. If you've got a big group, this property will definitely work out great for you!

Great Getaway

We had three families of 4+ each gather at this house for a weekend getaway and we could be more please with our accommodations and our communications with Monica. We really appreciated the ability to use this house and the large shady trees were awesome. We thoroughly enjoyed the water and the amazing deck on the property (better than the pictures). There was ample seating around the house and on the deck. Plenty of beds and bathrooms for our group. The Kitchen was also well stocked, although we would have loved to have more Tupperware for leftovers and a few various items like bowls, but good enough for us to cook all our meals at the house. The beds and comforters were all comfortable. The A/C unfortunately didn't cool throughout the house evenly, however was decent considering the age of the house. We would gladly go back here and enjoy the river over and over.

Amazing place on McQueeney

We had 6 adults and 6 kids and there was more than enough room for us to spread out. Property is so much better than you can see in pictures. Clean, quiet and lovely little spot. Had a boat pick us up right from our dock and enjoyed the area very much. We will gladly book this again for our annual summer trip!

Great house!

We had a great time with our 18-20 year old kids at this home. Great location and yard, plenty of room to spread out. The dock is an amazing place to hang out and swim or sit up top and relax. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
