Guadalupe River Road Retreat Bluebird Cabin

From the moment we arrived, the hosts were exceptional—welcoming us at the gate, giving a thorough tour, and staying attentive throughout our stay. The property itself is stunning, located right on the Guadalupe River and just a short walk to a scenic area under a large Cypress tree, perfect for relaxing in the water. Unfortunately, we faced rain for most of our trip and couldn’t float the river as planned, but the hosts consistently checked in and kept us updated during the flooding. I had planned to propose on July 4th but postponed to the 6th due to the weather. The hosts helped make the moment special by clearing a fallen tree from our path and leaving champagne and glasses for us. Despite the challenges, their kindness made all the difference, and we’re already planning to come back next summer.

Quiet, peaceful and relaxing. Super friendly hosts and very accommodating.

Great place to stay! Lots of wildlife and very comfortable quarters. Carlton and Laura are great hosts and very hospitable. We will stay again!

We had a blast on our trip! The cabin was spotless when we arrived and the direct access to the river was so nice. Our 1 year old had plenty of space to run around and the gated location made us feel safe. Mr. Carlton and Mrs. Laura were the sweetest hosts and we enjoyed chatting with them any chance we got. We hope to be back in the future. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Beautiful well maintained property. Great hosts and easy access to the river. We have stayed here 3 times and will continue to come back.

The property was amazing! Carlton was so helpful and a wonderful host! Definitely planning on coming back again!

Perfect spot on the river! Beautiful trees, flowers, and plenty of wildlife! The new geese are amazing! Carlton and Laura go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Have been a regular since the year they opened their paradise home to outsiders and will continue coming back!

We had the most amazing and relaxing time at this cabin, three nights was not enough though! Carlton and his wife do everything they can to make you feel welcome and relaxed, and we cannot thank them enough for their hospitality. We will be back next year for our annual river trip!

This property was perfect for our family. We had two grandkids with us ages 4 and 8. They loved the large outside area with plenty of room to run and play. Having river access was a huge plus. The owners are more than gracious and very welcoming. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a relaxing fun get-a-way.

We enjoyed everything about our stay! The house is cozy and clean! The river is amazing and we enjoyed all the wildlife around us. Carlton is the best host and makes everything so easy for guests! We will be back!
