River Retreat / Kayaks / Fishing / Firepit

Serene perch under the trees on the banks of the Guadalupe River in Seguin, TX. One-bedroom, riverfront tiny home with sleeping loft. Plenty of outdoor space. Relaxing views from two-level dock. FREE kayaks. Great fishing. Reconnect w/ great outdoors: fire pit, loungers, hammock chairs under a canopy of trees. Sleeps 5 ($25/night surcharge for 5th guest).

WATER LEVEL & FLOW
The water level in the photos are accurate. The water level has dropped 12 feet since March 2023, to rebuild the dam that created our lake. There is a certain flow requirement downstream from our property, so we maintain a minimum flow and consistent level/depth regardless of rainfall.

Depth varies from 4 feet at our stairs to >10 feet in the middle of the channel. Additionally, there's no boat traffic, so it's ideal for kayaking and fishing year round.

Water flow slows in warmer seasons, and plumes of button moss intermittently float up from the bottom, collecting at water's edge. We still swim among the button moss, but it may not be ideal for some. Unfortunately, there's no way to predict when it will emerge and how long it stays.

HIGHLIGHTS
- 1 bedroom plus loft / 1 bathroom / 400 square feet
- Sleeps 5
- 50' of riverfront with flight of stairs into river
- Kayaks included FREE
- Extensive outdoor space with propane grill, fire pit, and 2-level riverfront dock
- Fast WiFi
- Smart TV
- Stocked with books, games, toys, puzzles
- Fully appointed kitchen w/ full size and countertop appliances
- Keurig w/ coffee bar
- Full size washer/dryer
- Short drive to HEB, Walmart, Starbucks
- Centrally located to New Braunfels, San Marcos, San Antonio, Austin

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
- Primary bedroom - 1 queen bed (locking door)
- Loft - 2 queen beds (no privacy door, LOW 4’ CEILING)

PLEASE NOTE
This is a tiny home, so the water heater is also tiny. This isn't the place for long showers, and the tank needs time to refill between showers.

The riverfront decks on either side of us extend to the property lines. While our house/porch and firepit/yard feel private, our riverfront is a good place to make friends with neighbors.

If Lake Nolte Retreat is booked on your preferred dates, please check out our other properties: Meadow Lake Retreat and Reiley Retreat.

We live locally and have local maintenance and housekeeping for needs that may arise during your stay.

Because we're in the country and near water, you may encounter various wildlife and bugs (snakes, skunks, raccoons, mice, spiders, roaches, wasps, etc). We utilize professional pest control on a regular schedule, but this does not guarantee a pest-free visit, inside or out.

We love this place because it's quiet, near the end of a dead end country road with cows and lots of stars. But it's still super convenient (5 minutes) to many things like Walmart and HEB.

RIGHT OFF I-10 and CENTRALLY LOCATED TO:
- essentials like HEB, Walmart, Starbucks, restaurants, movie theater (<6 miles)
- Gruene/New Braunfels/Schlitterbahn (20 miles)
- San Marcos outlet malls (25 miles)
- San Antonio (~40 miles)
- Austin (~50 miles)

You'll likely need a car to get around. HEB will deliver groceries to your doorstep via Shipt. Please check on Uber/DoorDash as those services seem to be intermittent here.

A link to our Rental Agreement will be sent via email.

NO smoking. Smoking of any kind (including tobacco, marijuana, e-cigarettes, vape pens, and hookahs) is prohibited at this property, inside and out.

NO pets.

NO large parties or gatherings allowed. We have neighbors with full-time residence nearby who will report back with excessive noise or groups that exceed the home limit. Parking limited to 2 vehicles.

So cute!!

The property was well kept and very cute! There were multiple hangout spots outside, everything we needed was provided, and the sleeping arrangements were comfortable. Unfortunately we didn’t get to cool off or hang in the water due to the amount of moss floating. The moss was mentioned in the description and appreciate the honest communication.

Great stay at a beautiful home

Laura had everything we needed for a fun-filled, relaxing weekend getaway! We enjoyed kayaking, sitting on the deck with morning coffee, and making smores with the fire pit at night. Would definitely recommend!!!

Cute little place on a river

The house was just perfect for 2 adults (a couple of kids would fit nicely in the loft) Nicely appointed and well equipped. It has great sitting areas from the porch to the waterside deck. We would have used the water toys but the weather wasn’t cooperating and the river was very low. We hope they get rain soon! Great communication & directions from the owners.

Lovely property

We had a lovely stay. The property, decor and finishings are top notch. What a beautiful location on the Guadalupe River while in the area for my grandson's 1st birthday. I sure hope to visit again when we can take advantage of the water activities.

Perfection

We loved this little place. It was perfect for me and my daughters. Everything we needed was in the house. All the water toys you need are by the dock. We ate s’mores and did some light fishing at night. It was our first time ever fishing and the people the dock over taught us how to hook a worm and the ins and outs on fishing. Such a fun time!

Fantastic Getaway on the River

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The cottage is cozy but well laid out and super clean / new. It was perfect for four of us, but we would gladly rent their sister property next door if we had a larger group. Small details like labeled cabinets were nice. The slide on the dock was fun and the massive Cypress trees provide a nice relief from the hot sun we were having. The host was super friendly and easy to deal with. Would recommend 10/10!
