Located on the outskirts of New Braunfels, the River Haven is just what its name suggests: a haven for those who want to relax.

The property sits right beside the Guadalupe River, which gives adventurous tubers the chance to float the river and enjoy some fun in the sun. You can enter the river at this property and exit at a variety of places up and down the river. There’s is a tube rental and shuttle service just down the street that will cater to your group. For those who would prefer a more restful outdoor experience, the house has a wonderful split level deck that is equipped with a grill.

When you enter the home, you will be welcomed by a cozy living room that features a stone fireplace. Inside the space, the kitchen and dining room sit waiting for those ready to channel their inner chef. Each bedroom provides plenty of room if a family vacation spot is what you’re seeking. The two downstairs bedrooms sport a queen and full sized bed respectively. The coordinating bathroom has a beautiful walk-in shower that is great for washing away your troubles. Upstairs, the master bedroom has a king sized bed, with a comfy daybed on the opposing side. The second bedroom has a queen sized bed that is ideal for those who prefer more privacy. The final bedroom contains two twin sized beds. The upstairs bathrooms contain a walk-in shower, and a full bath tub.

If you enjoy live music, the property is a short drive to Whitewater Amphitheatre, River Road Ice House or Gruene Hall. The home is also close to Schlitterbahn, San Marcos Outlet Mall, and Canyon Lake. If you’re someone who can’t wait to take to the river, inner tube in hand, or prefer a more quiet stay, the River Haven is the place for you.

    We had a great time at this wonderful house! Highly recommend it if you are interested in a riverfront property! You can just walk across the street and rent tubes and they will take you up river to float back to the house!

    Overall, the location and the house were perfect for our family. Nice big deck to hang out and grill. Plenty of space for families. The only drawback was the small kitchen with very little counter space.

    This is a lovely property in a great location. But it is an older home with a few updates. It is listed that it sleeps 12 but they charge you if you want to bring that many people. Read all of the small print, it seems that there are difficulties with short term rentals (STR) in the whole area. Also, the large laundry area with washer/dryer, ping pong table and another fridge are not listed. anywhere on the listed and could have been a great assessment for food/drinks if we found it sooner. Tube rental place just up the road so it made it quite easy to float.

    The best booking from VRBO ever! The house was VERY comfortable. Had everything we needed, and more. The beds and pillows were heavenly. The view was calming and the river was perfect. The amount of room in the house allowed several activities (cooking, playing board games, reading and watching television) to go on at the same time without us tripping over each other. The linens, cook ware and dinner ware were top notch and the variety of appliances available was much appreciated. My family laughed and cried together and finally were able to enjoy “just what we needed.” We are ready to book again VERY SOON! Thank you for offering a great place where precious family memories were made.

    We had 5 couples total. We all were very impressed. We felt like it was a little more expensive than a few other options. But let me tell you it did not disappoint. The house was very clean, accomodating, cold AC and plenty of fans. The beds & couches were extremely confortable. Plenty of room for all 10 of us! We would definitely stay here again. It was also close to the Tube Haus and Whitewater ampitheater where we enjoyed a concert. Absolutely 5 stars accross the board. Thank you so much for an amazing house and fun weekend getaway.

    During our stay we were flanked by two houses occupied full time. Both neighbors were friendly and we were happy to engage in great conversation with one for several hours. The small rock cove provided a break from the flow and some of our party just enjoyed the calmness of the water while others went kayaking or stood in the middle of the river. The neighborhood was conveniently located near usefully amenities like groceries, ice, adult beverages, and a gas station. We will definitely be looking to book this house again for our next trip to the Guadalupe!

    Seeing as it was my mothers 1st trip to the river since she was a little girl ( canyon Lake wasn’t even a lake yet ) She had a great time and loved the house… Loved the feel and the atmosphere..

    The house is a little farther up river than we usually stay and we kept wondering where everyone was at over the Labor Day weekend…it’s a really quiet area. We enjoyed the deck, but would have enjoyed it more if the railing were safer. We had to stay on our guard the entire trip to make sure our 1 1/2 year old granddaughter didn’t fall through the railing or down the stairs. Look closely at the picture of the deck…I missed it. The stairwell inside has a similar issue as there are no spindles in the handrail and is dangerous. The neighbor makes sure to let you know to stay off of his property just in case you miss the small sign on his side of the lot or if you put the trash can in the wrong place, he’s harmless enough. I read in another review that the downstairs shower leaks and while it’s not a huge deal…take extra towels to dry the floor. The linens are skimpy and there’s definitely not enough to dry yourself and the floor without doing daily laundry. I don’t know about upstairs but there were no washcloths downstairs and I didn’t seeing many linens in the kitchen. When they say lift up on the front door to open they mean it… no one is going in or out without everyone in the house knowing…especially those who are staying in the first bedroom. The master bedroom and bathroom are very nice and looked comfortable but can’t say for sure as I slept downstairs in the first bedroom. The parking is tight but manageable if you don’t mind periodically shuffling cars. The inside was tight for the 13 of us (10 adults and 3 children) when we all had to came in during a thunderstorm some of us went to our rooms because there’s not enough seating in the living room.. A roof over the huge deck and more comfortable seating would add charm and living space…plus keep the deck and everything on it clean. The beautiful pecan tree that blocks the view of River from the door leaves a sticky mess on everything. Don’t plan on sleeping on the sofas, they are for sitting only. A sleeper sofa would have been nice, The laundry room has a foosball and ping pong table and a small refrigerator, but the space is wasted due to there is no air conditioning. We make a trip to the river every year and were thankful to find a property at the last minute big enough for our crew, but won’t stay here again, it wasn’t a good fit for our family and I definitely would not recommend this property for families with small children.
