About this property
River Access Staycation / FastWiFi / Firepit
THE LONE STAR AT REILEY RETREAT hosted by CTXBNB: Perched above the banks of the Guadalupe River in Seguin, TX. Bright, updated duplex offers comforts of home with a surplus of amenities. Great hub to explore Central Texas. Fire pit & hammock. Sleeps 5 ($25/night surcharge for 5th guest).
WATER LEVEL & FLOW
The water level and lakebed in the photos are accurate as of 2/16/2026. The water level has been down 12 feet for 4+ years to repair the dam, but the dam was complete as of 2/16/2026. The water will slowly rise 12 feet over the next 2-3 months. We are unable to predict what the water will be like while it fills, as it's dependent upon many variable factors. We will update river/lake photos every couple of weeks. And when it's full, it's stunning!
If you're looking for a place to kayak and paddleboard, you should check out our other properties about 15 minutes down river: Meadow Lake Retreat and Lake Nolte Retreat.
HIGHLIGHTS
- 2 bedrooms / 1 bathroom, sleeps 5
- River access from backyard requires ~75yd walk on a cleared path through rogue, weedy "greenery" growing in the riverbed.
- Great for fishing and wading
- Hammocks, propane grill, fire pit, s'mores sticks
- Fast WiFi (500 Mbps)
- Smart TV
- Stocked with books, games, toys, puzzles
- Fully appointed kitchen w/ full size and countertop appliances
- Keurig and coffee pot 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
- Second bedroom - 1 double bed, 1 twin bed (trundle)
- Living room - 1 queen sleeper sofa
RIGHT OFF I-10 and CENTRALLY LOCATED TO:
- essentials like HEB, Walmart, Starbucks, restaurants, movie theater (<7 miles)
- Gruene/New Braunfels/Schlitterbahn (15 miles)
- San Marcos outlet malls (25 miles)
- San Antonio (~30 miles)
- Austin (~50 miles)
This listing is for one side of a duplex. You'll have the carport/driveway, inside living space, and back deck (outdoor dining/grill) to yourself, but the lawn/firepit/hammock area may be shared with up to 5 guests from the other unit.
We live locally and have local maintenance and housekeeping available 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.
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. Although we are pet lovers, this is a shared property with other guests who may be sensitive (allergic, fearful) to 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.

About the host
Hosted by Laura Wooley
My husband and I ran a business in Austin for over 10 years and couldn't leave for more than a long weekend. We are both water lovers, so we started getting away for long weekends in Seguin on this chain of lakes (Guadalupe River). We fell in love and decided to buy a place for ourselves. It has turned into multiple properties that I manage, which gives me the flexibility to spend more time with our growing family. Plus, we always have a place to stay since this has become our favorite place to vacation!
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.
