New Braunfels, Texas
NEW!!! Special rates for Winter!
JB2 River Ranch is a comfortable and luxurious space for your next family reunion, multi-family vacation, or corporate retreat, with a full remodel completed in June 2022. We have over 250 ft of Guadalupe riverfront on Lake McQueeney with a wide, multi-level dock for lakeside fun. JB2 is close to all the restaurants, bars, and activities of New Braunfels, Historic Gruene, and Seguin while enjoying the tranquility and openness of a rural getaway.
The Main House features a gourmet kitchen, 3 dining areas, 2 living areas, 5 bedrooms, and 4 bathrooms. The courtyard layout includes a Casita, with separate entrances, an additional kitchenette, 2 bedrooms, and 1 bathroom. With ample outdoor seating over multiple levels, everyone in your group will be able to enjoy the 180-degree water views.
Our home sits on 5 private acres, about 1/2 mile from the main road. Find your peace away from the hustle and bustle of the city: take a dip or float in the river, fish for catfish and bass from our dock, watch the herds of whitetail deer, listen to the birds chirping, or take in the majestic sunsets over the water.
Regarding the Lake McQueeney dam repair work, our house is approximately 4 miles upriver from the dam, and has only had approximately 2 foot water level decrease since the start of the work. As of November 2023, the water level around our outer dock is still 3-4 feet deep, and over 6 feet deep in the center of the river off our dock. Floating, fishing, kayaking, and paddleboarding are all good where our house is located, just no power boats.

Property is well maintained. Very responsive home owner. Had a relaxing weekend.
We had an amazing time and everyone enjoyed their stay. Everything was perfect.
Too many good things to list. Hosts were amazing. Best weekend ever
Large group, plenty of space indoors and outdoors. The property is well maintained, yet still in a natural state. Our group was there during a heat wave and burn ban, but that didn't deter us at all. We still spent time outdoors in the evening watching the beautiful sky, and in the river during the day. Kitchen was the main area and held our group. We even had a Private Chef and everything he needed to cook was provided. We can't wait to go back. I would love to answer questions but Jeff is wonderful at it. Book! It! NOW!!!
We stayed here while on a guys golf/river trip. The house is fantastic! As advertised.
I could not have imagined a more perfect place to stay for our annual friends reunion trip! Jeff and Jessica have such a stunning property inside and out, the beds were so comfortable, everyone said they slept great every morning and having two washers/dryers was a huge plus too! The property exactly checked all of our boxes for our large group- spacious, on land, right on the water, full amenities, close to Gruene Hall, and not far from Whitewater either! We spent every day just hanging out in the backyard and on the river, we didn't have to worry about driving somewhere to go float. The kitchen was probably the hotspot for late night hangs and game nights, everyone enjoyed themselves. Jeff and Jessica were quick to respond and communicating any last minute needs as well! Thank you so much again and hope we can come again soon!
Very nice large nice outdoor space firepit
Large group had a great time - property is as advertised, plenty of spaces to sleep for a group of 18. Air conditioning worked incredibly even on a hot summer day. Would highly recommend this spot.
The home was beautiful and spacious for our group celebrating a birthday. There is plenty of seating and lounging areas for everyone to spread out. Great views of the river. Well stocked kitchen. Top of line appliances. Would highly recommend to anyone!
Great facility and beautiful property. Will be returning
We had a wonderful family vacation on the Guadalupe. Beautiful property and it was so quiet and peaceful during our stay. The home has ample room for guests and the beds are comfy. We all had a great time down by the river fishing, kayaking and hanging out in the water. The cows and donkey next door were a fun extra for our two grandkids. Jeff and Jessica were a pleasure to communicate with and were so helpful with any questions we had. Great hosts!
This house is perfect for a large group and the online pictures do not do the house justice! The hosts were VERY quick to respond to any questions and were great with sending updates. We had a group of 19, ages 7 to 50+ and there was plenty of space for all of us to hang out together or spread out into smaller groups. The kitchen had everything we needed and we cooked a lot so used many different pots and pans. The room sizes were great and everyone commented that they were surprised how good they slept on the mattresses since it’s pretty common to sleep on poor quality or very old mattresses in rentals. We had fun hanging out on the back patio and even more fun on the dock. The water past the dock can be deep for some but even the 7 and 8 year olds were swimming using the floats that the owner provided. A few of us caught bass and even some pretty large catfish too. The only negative I can think of is that there were no large trash cans outside by the house. We had a large group and cooked every meal at the house so we had a lot of trash by the end of the day. Luckily we had a truck so we took the trash to the bins by the hwy, as the owners asked, daily so we didn’t have any issues with animals ripping open our trash bags. Overall, a very happy and successful end of summer trip for all. Can’t wait to come again soon.
This is by far one of the best vacation rentals I have booked to date. Location makes you feel secluded yet the listing is a short drive into New Braunfels and surrounding areas. Plenty of rooms and space throughout the property to kickback and relax. The kitchen was big which made it nice for cooking all weekend. Communication with the property owners was easy and they answered every question within a timely manner. You won’t be disappointed with this property! We’ll definitely be back!
The pictures do this property absolutely no justice. The house is huge and stunning. Plenty of space for our large crowd. The water at the back of the property was amazing. We spent the weekend celebrating my husbands birthday and it was definitely one for the books. Any questions I had the property owners were very quick to respond. If your looking for a home to accommodate a large group then this property is for you. You will not be disappointed,
We had a wonderful time during our stay! The check-in was very easy, communication was wonderful, and the house was gorgeous. My favorite parts of the house are definitely the kitchen and the outdoor seating. We floated the river during the day and relaxed on the patio and dock area in the evenings. We will be going back!
We celebrated my 65th birthday over the 4th of July weekend and we could not have chosen a more perfect place in a beautiful setting. We had family members ranging from 87 to 1 year and everyone had a bed and bath and privacy! The home is perfect for entertaining and family gatherings. The owners have thought of every detail to make this an enjoyable experience. We laughed, created wonderful memories, swam in the river, fished, kayaked and didn’t leave this location because everything we needed was right there! The owners were highly responsive to any questions we had. I really hate to leave such a wonderful review because I’d like to keep this 5 ⭐️place to myself ?. Thank you Jeff & Jessica for providing a beautiful place to create beautiful memories ❤️
