About this property

River Retreat / Kayaks / Fishing / Firepit

  • LAKE NOLTE RETREAT hosted by CTXBNB: Nestled beneath a canopy of trees on the scenic banks of the Guadalupe River in Seguin, TX, Lake Nolte Retreat offers a peaceful riverside retreat perfect for up to 5 guests. This cozy one-bedroom tiny home with a sleeping loft offers the ideal blend of relaxation and outdoor adventure, with stunning views from a two-level deck and plenty of space to unwind: kayaking over calm waters, fishing on still mornings, swinging in a hammock, fireside nights under the stars.



    WHY GUESTS LOVE IT

    - Approx 50 feet of riverfront with direct stair access

    - FREE kayaks for exploring the quiet river

    - Excellent fishing from dock or kayak

    - Expansive outdoor space with 2-level riverfront deck, hammock chairs, fire pit

    - Cozy accommodation for up to 5 guests (including day visitors); fee applies to 5th guest

    - Fully stocked kitchen, full-size appliances, Keurig coffee bar, washer/dryer

    - Smart TV, books, games, puzzles, toys

    - Less than 5 miles to HEB and Walmart but on a quiet country road with cows and lots of stars

    - Centrally located to New Braunfels, San Marcos, San Antonio, Austin



    WATER & RECREATION NOTES

    River depth ranges from 4 feet at the base of the stairs to over 10 feet mid-channel.



    Water level is carefully managed to maintain a required minimum flow, regardless of rainfall, making it ideal for kayaking and fishing year-round.



    Warmer months bring the arrival of floating button moss, which collects at the surface and along the water’s edge. Still safe to swim but less enjoyable for some.



    SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS

    - Primary bedroom - 1 queen bed (private, locking door)

    - Loft - 2 queen beds (open to living area, LOW 4' CEILING great for kids)

    IMPORTANT DETAILS

    Tiny home water heater is small. Short showers work best, with time to refill between showers.



    The riverfront decks on either side of us extend to the property lines, so our riverfront can be a good place to meet friendly neighbors.



    We utilize professional pest control on a regular schedule, but this does not guarantee a pest-free visit, inside or out. Because we're in the country and near water, you may encounter various wildlife and insects.



    We do our best to schedule our lawn service when the property is empty. Sometimes we are unable to coordinate this, and the lawn crew may be present for a few hours during your stay.



    We live locally and also have local maintenance and housekeeping for needs that may arise.



    ADDITIONAL INFO

    **Rental Agreement and $250 security hold required; links sent via email.

Great place. Very comfy. 10 min from downtown. Beautiful waterfront scenery. Was raining during our stay so didn't get to enjoy the outdoor part, so will have to return. So many windows was so relaxing inside watching the rain. They have everything you need in the kitchen, they have games, books. Couldn't ask for more.

The area was quiet and peaceful, the whole property was comfortable and relaxing, the kids loved the easy access to the river, and being able to use the kayaks and other water toys made nice we did not have to worry about anything. They provided the life jackets as well to keep us safe! That was a huge plus for this mama to enjoy this! we loved the whole property!

Relaxing River Getaway

The Lake Nolte Retreat was a relaxing river getaway. There’s a lot packed into this property. The fire pit, the deck on the water, the grill, the kayak’s, all were great additions to our experience. It’s a relaxing way to kick back and get “back to the basics” of life. I give it 5 🌟 and I will be back soon!

The most helpful and friendly host I have ever stayed with anywhere in the world

Laura was, without a doubt, the most helpful and friendly host I have ever stayed with anywhere in the world. She contacted me several days prior to my stay and made sure that I was aware of what opportunities were in the area and the best places for activities and dining. The tiny house was fully equipped, clean, and comfortable. The location was beautiful and peaceful. There are lots of little touches to make the stay perfect. I can't wait to stay again.

Everything we needed and more...

It is obvious that a lot of thought went into this home, as it had everything (and more) that we needed to make our stay comfortable and convenient. Ideal location, close to stores and shops but tucked into a quiet and peaceful area of town. Very clean! Laura was also super sweet and helpful. One of the kindest and most at helpful hosts I’ve had.

Cute little place on a river

The house was just perfect for 2 adults (a couple of kids would fit nicely in the loft) Nicely appointed and well equipped. It has great sitting areas from the porch to the waterside deck. We would have used the water toys but the weather wasn’t cooperating and the river was very low. We hope they get rain soon! Great communication & directions from the owners.

So cute!!

The property was well kept and very cute! There were multiple hangout spots outside, everything we needed was provided, and the sleeping arrangements were comfortable. Unfortunately we didn’t get to cool off or hang in the water due to the amount of moss floating. The moss was mentioned in the description and appreciate the honest communication.

Perfect Getaway!

This is a jewel! Everything is top-notch and immaculate. You will find that the home is beautifully decorated, has stunning views of the countryside and river, a fully appointed, upscale kitchen, premium bedding and comfortable beds, a big TV that actually is easy to use, wonderful air conditioning and amazing hosts, should you need anything. Walking out the front door, you have a choice of 4 private patio/decks to comfortably recline under the shade or enjoy a BBQ dinner, propane grill included! There are kayaks and paddle boards for your enjoyment, and great places to throw out a fishing line! The serene setting is addictive... you won't want to leave. But should you need to go grocery shopping, or want to eat out, the quaint little town of Seguin is full of surprises with coffee shops, the HEB, Texas BBQ, Wal-Mart, etc. We are so looking forward to returning!

A vacation never forgotten

It was truly an amazing experience. Memories were made that will last a lifetime. Pulling up to the home was an amazing feel, birds chirping underneath the shade and the river in the background, peaceful and calm. The home was extremely comfortable and everything we could’ve possibly needed, was already available for our use. Kayaking was one of the highlights, a great experience. Thank you for allowing to partake in your slice of heaven, we can’t wait to come back!

Clean and Perfect for what I needed.

I had a great experience at this property. Cozy, clean, and everything I needed for this quiet getaway. Dealing directly with property management made all the problems not problems! It was a comfortable experience (nothing wrong with the property or anything, my email wasn't operating properly and I missed necessary information). Excellent customer service! Gratitude and blessings.
