Guadalupe River Tiny Home / Kayaks

11. Guadalupe River Tiny Home / Kayaks

20mi from Luling · 1 site · Lodging · Seguin, TX
Serene perch under the trees on the banks of the Guadalupe River in Seguin, TX. One-bedroom, riverfront tiny home with sleeping loft. Plenty of outdoor space. Relaxing views from two-level dock. FREE kayaks. Great fishing. Reconnect w/ great outdoors: fire pit, loungers, hammock chairs under a canopy of trees. Sleeps 5 (surcharge for 5th guest). WATER LEVEL and FLOW The water level in photos are accurate. The water level has dropped 12 feet since March 2023, to rebuild the dam that created our lake. There is a certain flow requirement downstream from our property, so we maintain a minimum flow and consistent level/depth regardless of rainfall. Depth varies from 4 feet at our stairs to 10+ feet in the middle of the channel. Additionally, there's no boat traffic, so it's ideal for kayaking and fishing year round. Water flow slows in warmer seasons, and plumes of button moss intermittently float up from the bottom, collecting at water's edge. We still swim among the button moss, but it may not be ideal for some. Unfortunately, there's no way to predict when it will emerge and how long it stays. HIGHLIGHTS - 1 bedroom plus loft / 1 bathroom / 400 sq ft - Sleeps 5 - 50' of riverfront with flight of stairs into river - Kayaks included FREE - Extensive outdoor space with propane grill, fire pit, and 2-level riverfront dock - Fast WiFi - Smart TV - Stocked with books, games, toys, puzzles - Fully appointed kitchen w/ full size and countertop appliances - Keurig w/ coffee bar - Full size washer/dryer - Short drive to HEB, Walmart, Starbucks - Centrally located to New Braunfels, San Marcos, San Antonio, Austin SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS - Primary bedroom - 1 queen bed (locking door) - Loft - 2 queen beds (no privacy door, LOW 4’ CEILING) PLEASE NOTE This is a tiny home, so the water heater is also tiny. This isn't the place for long showers, and the tank needs time to refill between showers. Because we're in the country and near water, you may encounter various wildlife and bugs (snakes, skunks, raccoons, mice, spiders, roaches, wasps, etc). We utilize professional pest control on a regular schedule, but this does not guarantee a pest-free visit, inside or out. We love this place because it's quiet, near the end of a dead end country road with cows.

Guadalupe River Tiny Home / Kayaks

11. Guadalupe River Tiny Home / Kayaks

20mi from Luling · 1 site · Lodging · Seguin, TX
Serene perch under the trees on the banks of the Guadalupe River in Seguin, TX. One-bedroom, riverfront tiny home with sleeping loft. Plenty of outdoor space. Relaxing views from two-level dock. FREE kayaks. Great fishing. Reconnect w/ great outdoors: fire pit, loungers, hammock chairs under a canopy of trees. Sleeps 5 (surcharge for 5th guest). WATER LEVEL and FLOW The water level in photos are accurate. The water level has dropped 12 feet since March 2023, to rebuild the dam that created our lake. There is a certain flow requirement downstream from our property, so we maintain a minimum flow and consistent level/depth regardless of rainfall. Depth varies from 4 feet at our stairs to 10+ feet in the middle of the channel. Additionally, there's no boat traffic, so it's ideal for kayaking and fishing year round. Water flow slows in warmer seasons, and plumes of button moss intermittently float up from the bottom, collecting at water's edge. We still swim among the button moss, but it may not be ideal for some. Unfortunately, there's no way to predict when it will emerge and how long it stays. HIGHLIGHTS - 1 bedroom plus loft / 1 bathroom / 400 sq ft - Sleeps 5 - 50' of riverfront with flight of stairs into river - Kayaks included FREE - Extensive outdoor space with propane grill, fire pit, and 2-level riverfront dock - Fast WiFi - Smart TV - Stocked with books, games, toys, puzzles - Fully appointed kitchen w/ full size and countertop appliances - Keurig w/ coffee bar - Full size washer/dryer - Short drive to HEB, Walmart, Starbucks - Centrally located to New Braunfels, San Marcos, San Antonio, Austin SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS - Primary bedroom - 1 queen bed (locking door) - Loft - 2 queen beds (no privacy door, LOW 4’ CEILING) PLEASE NOTE This is a tiny home, so the water heater is also tiny. This isn't the place for long showers, and the tank needs time to refill between showers. Because we're in the country and near water, you may encounter various wildlife and bugs (snakes, skunks, raccoons, mice, spiders, roaches, wasps, etc). We utilize professional pest control on a regular schedule, but this does not guarantee a pest-free visit, inside or out. We love this place because it's quiet, near the end of a dead end country road with cows.
