Rio de Arcadia - Two Riverside Homes, Pool & Hot Tub

Two truly unique houses connected with extensive outdoor living areas & amenities, overlooking the Guadalupe River, create a peaceful riverfront retreat. Whether your goal is rest, renewal, fun family times or exploring the Texas Hill Country, the setting at Rio de Arcadia will accentuate your getaway to the hills. Beyond the giant shaded deck & patio spaces, amenities include a negative edge swimming pool, fire pit, hot tub, amphitheater, hammock, terraced playing fields, 4 hole putting green, horseshoe pit & swing.

The larger 1,900 square foot "Casa Tejas" offers a slightly contemporary 'Texana' theme. Casa Tejas' 2 Bedroom, 2 Bath set up with separate Den, Dining, Great Room, Utility/Laundry & Kitchen, all reflect a 7 generation journey through Texas history. From the artful front door, personally hand crafted by famed jeweler & craftsman, James Avery, to the bedroom desk carefully carted cross country from the Alabama State House to the Austin area in 1854, interesting embellishments with a story await your discovery

'Texas Tuscan' comes to mind in the more compact 1,100 square foot 2 bedroom, 2 bath venue of "The Studio". A more traditional interior is accentuated by furnishings and art work collected from Europe by four generations of family.

See Photo Gallery for aerial view of property and floor plans for both houses.

The two unique houses are joined beneath majestic oaks by the 1,700 square foot "Great Deck" overlooking the upper terrace which features a kids' swing and "Fern Bed" hammock. A flagstone patio, hot tub, fire pit and amphitheater plus three terraced playing fields, with river access for wading and kayaking, create a unique outdoor setting overlooking the Guadalupe River. The swimming pool is located just a few steps away from the houses down a winding path and a 4 hole putting green is conveniently located by the front porch. The pool is able to be heated with advanced notice and an additional fee. Please contact the owner for more information.

We live on the adjacent property and are usually available during your stay.

Few places offer the simultaneous sense of seclusion in an impressive natural setting combined with super convenient access to shopping, dining and fun area activities. Located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, Kerrville is a small city with a big heart. It is a place known for its beautiful scenery, abundant wildlife, friendly locals, and true Texas culture. Take some time during your visit to explore our little town and those which surround us. Try kayaking the Guadalupe River, visiting the Museum of Western Art, hiking at Lost Maples, two-stepping at Crider's Rodeo & Dance Hall, or walking the downtown river trail. Other favorite activities include a visit to James Avery's flagship store and visitor's center, wine tasting along America's second largest wine trail , the Hill Country Highway 290 Wine Trail, exploring historic Fredericksburg's shops & restaurants or climbing Enchanted Rock.

Beautiful, peaceful property!

This was the perfect property for our annual multi-generational family get together. Having two houses was perfect and the outdoor space is so beautiful and well thought out with plenty of seating, yard games, fire pit and the pool which was great! We felt like we were out in the country but enjoyed being 5 minutes from a grocery store. Very thoughtful touches throughout and comfy beds and linens. Highly recommend and hope to return!

Gorgeous property and wonderful hosts

We had six of us….three adults and three teens, and the property was perfect. Having the two houses was great for us, and there was plenty of room. We had fun down by the river, the hot tub, mini golf, and just enjoyed the outdoors. Debbie and Howell were great hosts!

Incredible setting and beautiful hill country vibe

The outdoor living spaces were our favorite! The pool was wonderfully situated and the fountains added a great natural soundtrack to this rustic destination. Loved the location and it’s obviously the priority for the property owners. A refresh and deep clean on the inside will take it from good place to a stand out stay (new towels & beds).

Amazing Hill Country Property

What can I say...this place is truly a gem! And, the hosts are truly great people. This is a really fun home that is great for larger groups. Outdoors they have a putting green, hot tub and the infinity edge pool was great as well. This was our second stay at this home as we enjoyed our time so much during our first stay that we just had to book again.

a gorgeous river hill country oasis!!

Howell and Debbie's place is truly beautiful. The expansive backyard is even more gorgeous in person, and everything has been handcrafted by this lovely couple. Howell is an architect, and you can tell by the care and thought that went into everything on this property. We absolutely love it. We used this space for our wedding weekend -- the groom's family stayed here and we hosted our welcome party the day before. It was the perfect spot for a backyard, laid-back, beautiful way to start our festivities, and our guests loved it. Especially the activities - mini golf, cornole. The pool is also so nice. Most of all, though, Debbie and Howell are so friendly, responsive, and welcoming. They made everything so easy, and we are so grateful to them for opening up their little slice of heaven to us for our wedding!

Texas Art and Architecture on the Guadalupe River

This property consists of a larger house and a studio, each with two bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms. The larger house was beautifully appointed, a perfect example of Texas art and architecture. So many thoughtful artistic touches were included, it would be impossible to list them all. The studio was private, quiet and comfortable. Both houses were equipped with all necessities, abundant towels, kitchenware, wineglasses. A highlight of the property is the beautiful outdoor space, reminiscent of a fine resort: expansive lighted deck with multiple seating areas, infinity pool with fire bowl and waterfall, spa, large fire pit, play areas (horseshoes, cornhole, volleyball), expansive lawn bordering on the Guadalupe River. Guest may want to note that the beautiful landscaping involves multiple levels and handsome limestone stairs and paving, that we loved, but that posed a bit of a challenge for our 88 year old parents to navigate alone. They were thrilled, however, by their perches on the expansive deck under the live oak canopy, and by the Texas history woven throughout the house. We loved our stay and hope to return.

Amazing Rental!!

Let me start by saying, this house, the location, the view, the outdoor space, the pool, EVERYTHING is absolutely spectacular! I have no complaints at all about this rental EXCEPT the owner living 2 houses down and walked down each day. This made our group of girls very uncomfortable. Do not get me wrong, he was very polite and nice but coming over each day was a bit odd. Day 1 at the pool around 6pm he came and told us our music was too loud, which was not the case. The pool is directly in-between 3 houses. The rental is on the end, the middle house is under construction, and the 3rd house is where the owner lives. No other houses are close enough to have even been bothered by a loud TV. Later in the evening the owner decided to stop by right before dark to let us know how to operate the light switches. Note: in this house there are probably over 100+ light switches and EACH ONE IS LABELED! There was no need to come over with a house of 11 girls all in their swimsuits to give light switch instructions. From there he stayed about 30 minutes all mingling with the girls. Made us all uncomfortable and it seemed very odd. The next morning, he stopped by, then came by again at lunch to let us know he would be leaving from 1-10pm and if we needed him to call or text. Do not get me wrong, this rental is beyond amazing, but when renting a place like this I don't feel like the owner should be popping by constantly and unannounced. This made us all feel like we were constantly being watched or spied on throughout the whole weekend we were there. I should also state while this WAS a group of all girls this most definitely was not a wild party. The age ranges were from 30-70 so it's not like we were hanging from the chandeliers and streaking down the street. Again, great rental but the set up with the owner is a bit odd.

Came into town to help out with flood relief efforts. Owners and family were so sweet. The property is above the hundred year flood plan, right along the river with the most beautiful backdrop now of the hillside. The homeowner is a retired architect, and it shines throughout the entire property with so many intricate details and conversation starters.
