Reiley Retreat is your vacation retreat, perched on the banks of the Guadalupe River. This bright, updated duplex offers comforts of home with a surplus of amenities, plus the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful Texas outdoors with friends & family. Fire pit & hammocks included. Sleeps 5 (max 4 adults).

Our Lake Placid recently turned back into the Guadalupe River after a spill gate failure on the dam in October 2021. We now have a great spot for fishing, tubing, and lounging with your toes in the water. We have areas with calm, deeper water good for wading/fishing and some shallow, rocky areas with mini "rapids" for tubing or just sitting with your toes in the water. Bring a fishing rod, tube, lawn chair, water shoes, and you can have a wonderful time in the river. Or stay on the banks to relax in the hammock or roast marshmallows by the fire pit (s'mores sticks included).

You'll have the carport/driveway, inside living space, and back deck (outdoor dining/grill) to yourself, but the lawn/firepit/hammock area may be shared with up 5 guests from the other unit. We've even had a number of folks tell us they enjoyed “socially distant” s’mores around the fire pit.

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