A beautiful, serene spot perched under the trees on the banks of the Guadalupe River in Seguin, TX. New, one bedroom tiny home with loft. Plenty of outdoor space to enjoy. Relaxing views of the river from our 2-level dock. FREE kayaks and paddle board. Great fishing. Reconnect w/ the great outdoors: fire pit, loungers, hammock chairs under a canopy of trees. Sleeps 4.

PLEASE NOTE: In March 2023, Meadow Lake (aka Lake Nolte) was lowered 12' for at least 2 years for dam repairs. Photos represent current water level; there is minimal fluctuation due to steady feed from Canyon Lake upstream. Water is 5 to 6 feet deep at base of stairs into the water, ideal for swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing.

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.

The riverfront decks on either side of us extend to the property lines. While our house/porch and firepit/yard feel private, our riverfront is a good place to make friends with neighbors.

In general, this is a very quiet spot to relax and recharge. On occasional summer weekends, the lake has a more "festive" vibe, with boats, music, and guests at nearby rentals.

If Lake Nolte Retreat is booked on your preferred dates, please check out our other properties: Meadow Lake Retreat (2 tiny homes on the adjacent lot) and Reiley Retreat (2 units of a duplex on the Guadalupe River in Seguin).

We live locally and are only a phone call away if you need anything. We also have local maintenance and housekeeping available for needs that may arise during your stay with us.

We love this place because it's quiet, near the end of a dead end country road with cows and lots of stars. But it's still super convenient (5 minutes) to many things like Walmart and HEB.

RIGHT OFF I-10 and CENTRALLY LOCATED TO:
- essentials like HEB, Walmart, Starbucks, restaurants, movie theater (<6 miles)
- Gruene/New Braunfels/Schlitterbahn (20 miles)
- San Marcos outlet malls (25 miles)
- San Antonio (~40 miles)
- Austin (~50 miles)

You'll likely need a car to get around. HEB will deliver to your doorstep via Shipt. Please check on Uber/DoorDash as those services seem to be intermittent here.

Reservations >2 weeks may require an additional cleaning fee.

NO smoking. Smoking of any kind (including tobacco, marijuana, e-cigarettes, vape pens, and hookahs) is prohibited at this property, inside and out.

NO pets. 

NO large parties or gatherings allowed. We have neighbors with full-time residence nearby who will report back with excessive noise or groups that exceed the home limit. Parking limited to 2 vehicles.

Cancellation Policy: Ninety-seven percent (97.00%) of the total booking charges will be refunded if the cancellation is made more than 14 days prior to the arrival date of the reservation. Fifty percent (50.00%) of the total booking charges will be refunded if the cancellation is made more than 7 days prior to the arrival date of the reservation. For cancellations made within 7 days prior to the arrival date, no refund will be issued.

My husband and I ran a business in Austin for over 10 years and couldn't leave for more than a long weekend. We are both water lovers, so we started getting away for long weekends in Seguin on this chain of lakes (Guadalupe River). We fell in love and decided to buy a place for ourselves. It has turned into multiple properties that I manage, which gives me the flexibility to spend more time with our growing family. Plus, we always have a place to stay since this has become our favorite place to vacation!
