Perfect family spring break trip!

Great and clean accommodations, had everything we needed. It was a perfect stay for our family! We had kids, all the way up to Grandparents. Having the additional water toys was wonderful because we didn’t have to pack ours. We had great weather and were able to spend a lot of time on the water. Great yard and deck to accommodate yard games and morning coffee!

Spring Break Getaway

My Family and I spent Spring Break at Whitewater Ranch Retreat. The property is a dream with a massive back yard right on the river. The property comes with paddle boards, kayaks, fishing equipment, and lawn games. My kids enjoyed every moment and are already asking to return. We will definitely return.

Better than expected!

The overall house was very clean, had all the basics and more. The deck is nice and big and we loved the large swing seat. I came with small children who absolutely loved the bunk bed setup. The gradual slope in the backyard to the water behind the house was a huge selling feature for us and the shallowness of the creek. Both were so enjoyable even with small kids and the landscape was beautiful. Overall a great experience.

Special Place

We booked this property to celebrate my son’s 14th birthday by fly fishing on the Guadalupe. This home has a beautiful spot right on the river and has a warm and joyful feel inside and out. There is plenty of space, the beds are comfortable and the area is super peaceful and quiet. There was a herd of deer that would come each night to eat acorns and they were beautiful to watch as well. What a special place!

Perfect get away!

Everything about this trip was awesome! This was a family trip for a family of 5, all adults. We drove up to a well manicured lawn. Walked into a cool house, lights on, with music playing and chocolates on our beds! The location to nearby floating, distance to the water and fire pit area did not disappoint. The host response time was terrific! Definitely recommend!

Fabulous River House

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the River house! Easy access to the River and just a 10 minute drive to Canyon Lake. All the kids, ages 9-17, had a blast playing basketball out front and floating the river. Communication was great! We’ll definitely book again in the future!

Amazing River Property

Amazing location on the Guadalupe. The house is very roomy and well laid out. The back patio is a great spot to relax, grill and the view of the river is incredible. The property's river access is awesome. Brandon is a great host and was very easy to communicate with. We can’t wait to go back!

We love White Water Ranch Retreat! It's the perfect spot for our young family to enjoy splashing in the river or relaxing on the banks. Brandon is an amazing host and the house is beautiful and always spotless.

We'll be back!

We had the best time at this perfectly placed river home! The house felt so peaceful and serene, especially for being just upstream of the horse shoe! We floated the horse shoe a couple times and had an easy walk back home, we took the dads in our crew to Camp Fimfo for a father's day ride on the Cliff Carver, and enjoyed some local shopping and BBQ.... but it was so nice that at the end of our adventures we could head back home to our own secluded river house. Brandon was very responsive and helpful while we were there, too! We left with plans to come back again!

Great property

My family had a great time , the house was amazing and even tho the days were extremely hot the house remained cool. The river was quiet so the kids could enjoy the little private beach we had away from the main body of tubers, but still could go and tube the river with on the loop around. Overall a great family property

Perfect Get Away!

We all had such a great time and didn't want to leave. The house is so comfortable and well stocked. It's a great location, upriver from where the public enters so it's much quieter. And if you decide to float the horseshoe, it's just a short walk back to the house. We can't wait to come again!! Thank you for being a great host Brandon!

The Perfect Family Getaway

We could not have been happier with our stay. The place was beautiful, clean, and just the right size for our group. Access to the river is just right for a family vacation with young kids. My son is already asking when we are going back. Brandon was super attentive and welcoming. Definitely somewhere we would like to rent again.

What makes this property unique

The unique benefit of renting Whitewater Ranch Retreat is that you can float the Horseshoe float at Whitewater from your own backyard and then just walk right back to house when done. No need to shuttle people or pay expensive prices for tubes and transportation back and forth. You can also forget all the crazy traffic when going to see a concert at Whitewater Amphitheater. Just grab a cold beer and the walk is only about 12 minutes. No drinking and driving needed!!!! Staying at Whitewater Ranch Retreat is a whole lot cheaper than a DWI!! We also have water access that is like a beach. Our property rolls into the river and make hanging out on the banks very simple and hassle free.
We look forward to having you as a guest very soon!
