A wonderful place to stay
My job requires me to travel all over the country, so I stay in many different places. This place was perfect—super clean, quiet, and conveniently close to businesses. Communication with the host was excellent and very helpful. I highly recommend staying here.
Nice place. I’m from the area originally. Had a wedding to attend so lots of family in town and we decided to give up staying with family since we had to leave early on Sunday. This spot was really quiet even though the place next door was occupied. We were so busy though we didn’t get to fully enjoy it! The river had come back up so the view was back to normal, which is super great. I meant to take pictures of the squirrels and whistler ducks, just got to busy watching and drinking coffee while the other slept in. My parents would probably get mad if I stayed here more than their house. But if it’s full I know where to go!!! Thanks Laura!

We cannot say enough about Agave! Laura’s attention to detail makes this home one of the best we have stayed in. It is super clean and comfortable! We really enjoy fishing and wading in the river. This home has everything you will need.
Laurie, we loved having you and your son. You were such delightful guests. Thank you for staying with us, and you're always welcome here when your travels bring you to Texas!
We had a wonderful stay! The place was beautifully kept, cozy, and incredibly clean. Every detail made it feel welcoming and comfortable, and it was just as described. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

Perfect Getaway Home
We were very impressed with all of the details that were included with our stay. My 3 year old had plenty to do inside and outside. And it was conveniently located to water, restaurants, entertainment and so much more!
The stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The area is quiet. Short drive for supplies and shopping. The home is clean. The host was helpful and friendly. Good experience.

Renee, we’re so glad you had a comfortable, enjoyable stay! Mission accomplished. We hope you’ll visit us again in the future.
We had a pleasant stay but we were visiting family nearby, and only returned to the property to shower and sleep. Beds were comfortable and plenty of blankets, thankfully.

About the host
Hosted by Laura Wooley
Hi! We’re a water-loving family who fell in love with Seguin after years of sneaking away from our busy life in Austin. What started as quick weekend trips to the Guadalupe River turned into buying a place of our own… and eventually a few more!
Now I manage our properties full-time, which lets me spend more time with our growing family—and share this little slice of lake life with guests like you. It’s truly our favorite place to unwind, and we hope it becomes one of yours too!
Why they chose this property
We love being in, on, and near water. Living in Austin, we wanted something close enough to make an easy weekend trip for our young family to grow up making memories here. The views at Reiley Retreat are easily the best on this stretch, and it's in such a peaceful spot of Texas with all kinds of things to do nearby. We come back home after a weekend at Reiley Retreat, and it feels like a lifetime has passed.
