About this cabin rental
Welcome to Bluebird Cabin at the The Guadalupe River Road Retreat! We have three additional cabins (VRBO codes 7914761, 7911593, and 9451823) sharing six beautiful acres of Guadalupe river frontage, where guests are free to wander the park like setting under the shade of majestic oaks, pecans, and cypress trees. Enjoy fantastic views of the Guadalupe river from cabin decks and bench swings, take a nap in a hammock, relax and cook smores at our firepits, or play tennis day or night on our newly resurfaced tennis court, and of course spend time in and on the river!
Our retreat differs from many of the rental options on the river. We cater to families, couples, reunions and small groups who want a tranquil environment and wish to avoid the rowdy crowds and party cabins. We strictly limit group sizes to what the cabins can comfortably accommodate, and we enforce our property rules regarding day guests, loud music, and disorderly conduct. If you are looking for an oasis on the river, a place where you can have fun but also relax in comfort, peace, and privacy, Guadalupe River Road Retreat is the place for you!
General info.
The Guadalupe River Road Retreat is located at 8910 River Road between the second and third crossing, halfway between Gruene and Canyon Lake, and is accessible via an electric gate (code provided upon booking).
We have two river access points, a concrete dock with steps down, or via a natural path down to a sitting area under the canopy of two massive cypress trees. Across the river from the property is a unique limestone expanse carved by the river where guests frequently enjoy hanging out, playing in the water, and watching the toobers float by.
There are multiple river outfitters within a short distance of the property, with the closest being Mountain Breeze which is less than a quarter mile from our access gate.
Gruene Texas, famous for its shops, restaurants, and the historic Gruene Dance Hall, is only nine miles (15 to 20 minutes south of our location). Sattler, where guests can find a small grocery store, gas, and other necessities, is only five miles (approximately 13 minutes) to the north.

Our stay at the Bluebird cabin was more than satisfactory! Great location on the river and being able to go back and forth to the cabin easily makes the stay even better. The house was perfect for our family of 5. We did have other family members staying in the neighboring cabins on the same property. This made it super nice to be able to come as a large group but have your own space when you wanted. The property is beautiful and well maintained. We really enjoyed the wildlife there! My favorite were the geese! The whole family had a blast at the court where they provided basketballs, and pickle ball equipment. We even had a pickle ball tournament! Carlton and Laura are super sweet and made the stay very accommodating. If we needed anything they were there to provide it.

Perfect location for a family fun getaway right on River Rd. close to everything if you want to explore the area. Very relaxing and the house is stocked with everything you could possibly need to be comfortable. The house was immaculate. We floated the river and had a great time. The direct river access also allows for you to just put your chair in and dip your feet in the water and relax if floating is not your thing. Would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone. The host, Carlton is very personable and will ensure you have a pleasant stay.

From the moment we arrived, the hosts were exceptional—welcoming us at the gate, giving a thorough tour, and staying attentive throughout our stay. The property itself is stunning, located right on the Guadalupe River and just a short walk to a scenic area under a large Cypress tree, perfect for relaxing in the water. Unfortunately, we faced rain for most of our trip and couldn’t float the river as planned, but the hosts consistently checked in and kept us updated during the flooding. I had planned to propose on July 4th but postponed to the 6th due to the weather. The hosts helped make the moment special by clearing a fallen tree from our path and leaving champagne and glasses for us. Despite the challenges, their kindness made all the difference, and we’re already planning to come back next summer.
