WATER LEVEL
As of February 16, 2026, our dam is complete! The lake view is already looking beautiful, and we’re hoping for a full lake this summer. In the meantime, fishing and kayaking are great, but swimming isn’t ideal—the shoreline is muddy, and some debris is still moving downstream. Once it’s full, though, the lake will be absolutely stunning!

- Primary bedroom: 1 queen bed
- Second bedroom: double bed, 1 twin bed (trundle)
- Living room: 1 queen sleeper sofa

Feel free to check out the other side of the duplex, The Agave at Reiley Retreat. We also own Meadow Lake Retreat and Lake Nolte Retreat.

My favorite place to find solitude ♡

I found the Lone Star at Riley Retreat to be one of my favorite places to go relax, regroup, and just be! The atmosphere is calm and the place has a peaceful quality that is very rare. A real true writer's haven. The local amenities are great! I look forward to a winter's stay.

Quick trip

My husband and I visited for a quick weekend get away to relax and unwind. While it was a shame there was no water at the time I can only imagine the space when the water is back to normal. This is a perfect space and with everything in the Home clearly identified with labeling and instructions lol. We would definitely like to come back to stay!

Stacie, thank you for staying with us! I'm so very sorry that you didn't find the water...it's there, just a hidden little gem. And when the lake is full once the dam is repaired...you're right...it's spectacular. You should come back then!

Quiet and clean

It was very clean and well organized with lables on all drawers and cabinets. Kitchen was filled with adequate kichen ware. They even had you covered on the small things you may have forgotten such as tooth brush. They even provided the first cup of coffee! Hosts were very attentive. Check out process was quick and easy. Perfect size for 4 adults. Location was central to many great attractions

Great experience!

I can’t say enough good things about this property rental! The location was perfect for us, the description was exactly as we expected. The house was very clean, organized and updated. We had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. There were other nice touches including books and games for kids and a pack n play for our baby (one less thing to pack). My older kids loved the big bed with the trundle. The host was very informative and easy to communicate with. Really great experience overall!

Nice stay at Reiley Retreat, Seguin

My wife and I stayed for a month and enjoyed our stay immensely. We travelled more than 1600 miles to the area from home and had not been to the area before. The directions were accurate and easy to follow to find the property. The property had all the amenities that we needed for our stay, the facility was organized and clean and we had no issues while staying there. We were provided with information about the area including local points of interest, so we enjoyed several local restaurants, points of interest and we travelled to other close towns in the area. Our stay was enjoyable and we would certainly return if the opportunity presents itself. Thanks

Great River Stay

The house was perfect size for us. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking our own meals. Our host was very polite and staying in contact the whole time. The river was a little bit of a walk from the house but still close enough to see.

About the host

Hosted by Laura Wooley

Host profile image
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.
