About this property
River Staycation / Fishing Dock / Kayak / FastWiFi
THE LOFT HOUSE AT MEADOW LAKE RETREAT hosted by CTXBNB: Perched under a canopy of trees on the banks of the Guadalupe River in Seguin, TX. One of two tiny homes on the property. Expansive outdoor space. Over 100' of riverfront. FREE kayaks. Great fishing from the dock or banks. Reconnect w/ the great outdoors: fire pit, outdoor shower, hammocks. Max of 4 guests, including day guests.
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 3 feet around the fishing dock 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 / 1 bathroom / 400 square feet - Sleeps 4 - 100' of riverfront with beach entry into water - Kayaks included FREE - Extensive outdoor space with propane grill, hammock, swinging chair, covered open-air dining / lounge area with big screen TV, fire pit, s'mores sticks, outdoor shower and half bath - Fast WiFi (~350 Mbps) - 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) with Winkbed premium mattress - Loft - 3 twin beds (accessible via ladder with handrail, 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 indoor showers, and the tank needs time to refill between showers. But we do have an outdoor shower with a tankless water heater with a view of the water, which is second to none!
The Loft House is one of 2 tiny homes on the property, so the outdoor areas and riverfront may be shared with up to 4 guests from the other tiny home, the Bunk House. Your house is private (all to yourself) with your own attached front porch, as well as separate outdoor dining, grill, hammock chair, hammock, and paddles. The Shed, fire pit, outdoor area, and riverfront are shared with plenty of room to spread out.
Feel free to check out the other tiny house on the property, Meadow Lake Retreat Bunk House. We also own Lake Nolte 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 vie email. A security hold of $250 is required and processed by host on guest's credit card.
NO smoking. Smoking of any kind (including tobacco, marijuana, e-cigarettes, vape pens, and hookahs) is prohibited at this property, inside and out.
NO possession or use of illegal drugs.

This is a great spot to just get away from the city with the family. River is low but still enjoyable. We will be back.

One of best places I've stayed
One of the best places I have stayed. Nice, quiet, beautiful, and everything I needed was there. The views are amazing. It is so easy to relax and connect with nature being there.
I was in Seguin for business and if I have to come back, I will choose this place for sure.

Perfect slice of paradise
The owners were the easiest people to work with. Perfect spot for our girls trip. ADORED the outdoor shower. Can't wait to come back.
Overall property very well maintained and outdoor is very spacious. Located right on the water with easy access to water. Perfect tiny house for a couple and kids.

Ashlee, it was great having you. So glad you enjoyed our outdoor space and the water. Hope to see you again!
We truly enjoyed our stay. The home was perfect size for us and had a full kitchen so we were able to cook all our meals. The home is in a great location with Walmart/HEB being 8 minutes away so if you need anything it very close by. The area is so peaceful and relaxing.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
The river access, canoes, paddles and life jackets were all available for our use, including other floats to enjoy the water which was a great temperature. The tiny house was lovely, clean, and accommodating, with nice touches like hammocks and swings for relaxing outdoors. My family and I had an excellent time.
This delightful compound of two houses right on the Guadalupe River is clean, comfortable be and perfect for a family (or two). The hosts are super communicative and very friendly. Highly recommended!

Wonderful Get-away for Two
This met and exceeded our expectations! We went in September for one week, rested, fished, kayaked and chilled. A perfect spot for a personal getaway and unplugging. The host was gracious and this place had everything we needed to cook and bbq. Several sitting areas if there are more guests and would rent again. Highly recommend.

Amazing
We had an amazing weekend here. The tiny house was clean and cute! It had everything we needed and more. They have thought of everything to make your stay more comfortable. They have some incredible oak trees and beautiful sunsets. We kayaked and enjoyed the River. My husband and I will definitely be back.
We loved staying at River Staycation!!! It was so nice and peaceful there! There was even a very friendly duck named Oreo, that would visit us everyday down by the water! He loves watermelon! The Host was great! She text making sure we had everything we needed. You don't need to bring anything but your food! The house was so clean and cozy. The bed was comfy. My kids loved the upstairs loft. We will definitely be back!

Second stay
I’ve had the pleasure of staying in the Loft twice. It’s very comfortable with a beautiful outdoor area. Laura is a fantastic host that supplies the Loft with everything you need for a great stay. She responds quickly if you have any questions. I would recommend any friends or family to stay there! I’m sure I’ll return at some point.

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 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.
