My family really enjoyed our time at Little Ponderosa. The house is on a quieter stretch of the Guadalupe, which was perfect for us! It wasn't flowing much, but had plenty of ice cold water for us to tube downstream. The house was great and well stocked!

Amazing property w/ great location!
Amazing property w/ great location!
This house was amazing for our girls group! There was plenty of space, and several even had beds to themselves. Beds were comfortable, and house was roomy and well stocked with plenty of towels and kitchen items. Kitchen is very open and has tons of counter space (a necessity with a large group!) Deck area has 4 tables and abundant seating. Owner met us shortly after we checked in and he was very helpful to give us some tips on the house and river. The river access is easy and quick to get in and out. Even with the water levels lower due to dam break and drought, the area off the dock was very deep and easy to hook up a group of floats. I recommend bringing lots of rope, and caribeeners to clip everyone together. We tied to the tree on the bank, and the owner had an anchor that we used to anchor the other side of the group towards the middle so we didn’t ever hit the bank. Worked perfectly!!! River area does get some Sun but also has lots of shade for those who wanna float away from sun. The river outfitters is about 4 houses up and they said they would have picked us up and returned us to our house (or we could’ve entered or exited at our house to do either the upper float or the lower float). We didn’t end up paying for a float (bc flow was slow), but we may utilize them next year. Grocery store is a few minutes away and there is a great Hunts Brothers Pizza in the Chevron Station about 4 miles away. We will definitely return to this house again for our annual float trip!

My family of 3 adults and 3 young children stayed for a short weekend . The house was clean & contained had more than enough room for all. The kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed for cooking. The outdoor deck and large yard provide shade from the sun, and we enjoyed being outdoors; swimming & watching tubers float by. Joyce is a terrific host and was quick to respond when I had a question.
