Listed as one of "Ten Great Vacation Rentals Vetted by Texas Monthly Writers", this is a peaceful, cozy 1930's waterfront cottage WITH restored RV to sleep up to ten guests. Great place for kids and pets. The expansive back yard leads to your private access to the Guadalupe River (Lake Dunlap), ideal for kayaking, paddle-boarding, fishing, swimming, and wildlife viewing. Kayaks and many other amenities are included -- just bring yourselves!
The cabin is 480 Square feet and built in 1930. A queen, twin, and sofa sleeper allow for a good nights sleep. This is simple studio style therefore all in one room space. A fully stocked kitchen provides the backdrop for a gourmet meal or just BBQ outside in covered BBQ pavilion. Books, Direct TV, WIFI, various DVD's, and board games provide indoor entertainment.
***This being a rustic cabin, it has very little modern day insulation. Please expect that on very hot summer days, the inside temperature may reach the upper 70's, and on very cold nights, may reach the 50's, despite our AC and heaters.***
This area of water is called Lake Dunlap, however the dam broke in 2019, leaving the gently flowing Guadalupe river. Due to extremely limited boat access now, the river is peaceful and quiet, perfect for paddle boarding, swimming, and kayaking. From our dock, the river reaches a depth of 30 feet.
Our dock is large enough for chairs, laying out or running and jumping into the water. We have a grassy “beach type” area in between our backyard and the river. Nearer the cabin, there is a propane grill, a smaller charcoal grill, and a huge offset smoker. All are under a covered pavilion with table and chairs close by.
The back porch and long yard with shady tall trees greet your view of Lake Dunlap. One fire pit with moveable chairs allows for comfort during colder temperatures. Most of your time will be spent here. It's absolutely gorgeous.
This is a great place for pets, but it's not completely enclosed, so bring your leash.
