RioRatonDuplex on the primo tubing section of Guadalupe
REDUCED RATES FOR WURSTFEST ARE FOR ONE-SIDE ONLY OF THE DUPLEX for 4 guests or less. If you have more I can send you an edited price that you would have to approve.
If you need BOTH SIDES of the duplex for a larger group, consider my other property up river from the Rio Duplex.
My other duplex is GuadalupeRiverDuplex and it is only 1 mile upriver from the RioRatonDuplex.
ALL summer weekends are THURSDAY at 5pm to SUNDAY at noon. You must rent BOTH sides of the duplex for 16 or less on all SUMMER weekends and all SUMER WEEKENDS must include Thursday to Sunday from May 1 to September 30. Of course you can book more days before Thursday and/or more days after Sunday as long as it includes Thurs-Sun.
If your dates aren't available at this duplex, be sure to check my other duplex on this vacay website. The GuadalupeRiverDuplex is listing #452715 and is available for large groups.
Memorial Weekend is THURS-MON for $3,400 + tax and cleaning. Fourth of July is any 4-night for $4,200 + tax and cleaning. Labor Day Weekend is FRI-Mon for $3,100 + tax and cleaning
WEEKNIGHTS are two-night minimum and always start on Sunday at 5pm if Sunday is available. I will not approve a 2-night stay starting on Monday if Sunday night is available. Please understand that I won't approve a 2-night stay for Monday and Tuesday nights, effectively making Sunday and Wednesday nights unrentable. If you include a 3-weeknight stay, then I would approve regardless if you checkin Sunday or Monday.
The FLOOR PLAN for the ENTIRE house is as follows: 2 bedrooms have 1 queen bed each, 2 lofts have 1 queen bed each and 2 bedrooms have 2 full-size beds each. There is a queen sleeper/sofa in each of the 2 great rooms and of course there are 2 complete kitchens and 2 nice bathrooms. You can rent only ONE-SIDE for half of the above listed rooms/beds/baths/greatrooms/etc. on summer weeknights and anytime during the off-season.
The Rio Raton Duplex is at 6780 River Road outside the city limits of New Braunfels. We are directly at Second Crossing.
This part of the GUADALUPE RIVER is the prime tubing section of the river. New Braunfels silly beer and can restriction laws DO NOT APPLY anywhere on this area of the Guadalupe.
I have TWO DUPLEXES about 1 mile apart on River Road. One is the RioRatonDuplex and other is the GuadalupeRiverDuplex listing #452715. They are both RIVERFRONT on the MAIN TUBING part of the Guadalupe River.
There are tube, raft, and other rental outfitters within walking distance of the duplex. Although most of our guests float and/or tube the Guadalupe, Schlitterbahn is also close by in New Braunfels and Six Flags/Fiesta Texas is a short drive to San Antonio as well as Natural Bridge Caverns, Wild Animal Park and the “Dirty Jobs” famous New Braunfels Snake Farm.
The Tanger Outlet Mall is 25 minutes away in San Marcos, There is Gruene Hall just down the road in Gruene, Texas as well as the monthly Gruene Market Days and Wimberly, Texas.
The Rio Raton Duplex is right at the “second crossing” on River Road about halfway to Canyon Lake. The lake has numerous parks and boat ramps for boats and jet skis.

About the host
Hosted by Michael
Lisa and Michael with long-time Guadalupe River floaters and friends Karen and Brad built the Rio Raton Duplex for the 2004 Summer season.
We have enjoyed floating the Guadalupe and San Marcos Rivers since high school and then college in San Marcos. Now we are passing on that tradition to our kids.
Why they chose this property
After too many Guadalupe River trips in substandard accommodations we decided to build our own first-class, RIVERFRONT property.
What makes this property unique
Air Conditioning and a hot shower make a Guadalupe River trip complete. Pitch a house, not a tent.
