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 have two rooms 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 just 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 The Chicken Coop across the street (open Mon-Fri only), and some amazing businesses to shop during your stay. Very soon we will open the Barksdale Coffee Company, an in-house coffee shop available Monday-Saturday!

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.

Enjoyed our stay!

This is an older property that the owners have been bringing up to date. It still retains its vintage charm, but now with really comfortable beds, good air conditioning, and a tiny coffee shop right on the property!

Peaceful and clean

This was our second time staying here and it won't be our last. Gena has some small but very thoughtful details like a essential oils diffuser and yummy lemon hand soap in the rooms. There is a microwave, coffee maker, community BBQ pit and a cute seating area on the patio to enjoy in the evening. The outdoor seating is comfortable too. We had to cute white rocking chairs outside our door. She is quick to respond to any inquiry and is super pleasant. There are lots of places to swim near by. We love this place and can't wait to come back. Thank you Gena.

About the host

Hosted by Gena' Fleming

Hi there! My name is Gena' and I am a wife, mom, and have been incredibly blessed. I consider this place my childhood home. If I wasn't with my dad, I was with my grandmother here in Barksdale. I worked, played, and enjoyed many family events on this property. Many people have made friends with my grandmother and are now considered family. Over the years I have had the privilege to meet so many neat people, and I am still meeting them each time we are here! So many stories that I would love to share. If you are in the area and need a place to stay, I hope you feel welcomed here!
