About this property

River Retreat / Kayaks / Fishing / Firepit

LAKE NOLTE RETREAT hosted by CTXBNB: Nestled beneath a canopy of trees on the scenic banks of the Guadalupe River in Seguin, TX, Lake Nolte Retreat offers a peaceful riverside retreat perfect for up to 5 guests. This cozy one-bedroom tiny home with a sleeping loft offers the ideal blend of relaxation and outdoor adventure, with stunning views from a two-level deck and plenty of space to unwind: kayaking over calm waters, fishing on still mornings, swinging in a hammock, fireside nights under the stars.

WHY GUESTS LOVE IT
- Approx 50 feet of riverfront with direct stair access
- FREE kayaks for exploring the quiet river
- Excellent fishing from dock or kayak
- Expansive outdoor space with 2-level riverfront deck, hammock chairs, fire pit
- Cozy accommodation for up to 5 guests (including day visitors); fee applies to 5th guest
- Fully stocked kitchen, full-size appliances, Keurig coffee bar, washer/dryer
- Smart TV, books, games, puzzles, toys

WATER & RECREATION NOTES
River depth ranges from 4 feet at the base of the stairs to over 10 feet mid-channel.

Water level is carefully managed to maintain a required minimum flow, regardless of rainfall, making it ideal for kayaking and fishing year-round.

Warmer months bring the arrival of floating button moss, which collects at the surface and along the water’s edge. Still safe to swim but less enjoyable for some.

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
- Primary bedroom - 1 queen bed (private, locking door)
- Loft - 2 queen beds (open to living area, LOW 4' CEILING great for kids)

IMPORTANT DETAILS
Tiny home water heater is small. Short showers work best, with time to refill between showers.

The riverfront decks on either side of us extend to the property lines, so our riverfront can be a good place to meet friendly neighbors.

We utilize professional pest control on a regular schedule, but this does not guarantee a pest-free visit, inside or out. Because we're in the country and near water, you may encounter various wildlife and insects.

We do our best to schedule our lawn service when the property is empty. Sometimes we are unable to coordinate this, and the lawn crew may be present for a few hours during your stay.

We live locally and also have local maintenance and housekeeping for needs that may arise.

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 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 (within 5 miles) to many things like Walmart and HEB.
