River Getaway / Fishing Dock / Kayaks / Fast Wifi
THE BUNK HOUSE AT MEADOWLAKE RETREAT hosted by CTXBNB: Perched under a canopy of trees on the banks of the Guadalupe River in Seguin, TX. One of two tiny homes on the property. Expansive outdoor space. Over 100' of riverfront. FREE kayaks. Great fishing from the dock or banks. Reconnect w/ the great outdoors: fire pit, outdoor shower, hammocks. Max of 4 guests, including day guests.
WATER LEVEL & FLOW The water level in the photos are accurate. The water level has dropped 12 feet since March 2023, to rebuild the dam that created our lake. There is a certain flow requirement downstream from our property, so we maintain a minimum flow and consistent level/depth regardless of rainfall.
Depth varies from 3 feet around the fishing dock to >10 feet in the middle of the channel. Additionally, there's no boat traffic, so it's ideal for kayaking and fishing year round.
Water flow slows in warmer seasons, and plumes of button moss intermittently float up from the bottom, collecting at water's edge. We still swim among the button moss, but it may not be ideal for some. Unfortunately, there's no way to predict when it will emerge and how long it stays.
HIGHLIGHTS - 1 bedroom / 1 bathroom / 400 square feet - Sleeps 4 - 100' of riverfront with beach entry into water - Kayaks and paddle boards included FREE - Extensive outdoor space with propane grill, hammock, swinging chair, covered open-air dining / lounge area with big screen TV, fire pit, s'mores sticks, outdoor shower and half bath - Fast WiFi (~350 Mbps) - Smart TV - Stocked with books, games, toys, puzzles - Fully appointed kitchen w/ full size and countertop appliances - Keurig w/ coffee bar - Full size washer/dryer - Short drive to HEB, Walmart, Starbucks - Centrally located to New Braunfels, San Marcos, San Antonio, Austin
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS - Primary bedroom - 1 queen bed (locking door) - Bunk area - 2 twin bunk beds (no privacy door)
PLEASE NOTE This is a tiny home, so the water heater is also tiny. This isn't the place for long indoor showers, and the tank needs time to refill between showers. But we do have an outdoor shower with a tankless water heater with a view of the water, which is second to none!
The Bunk House is one of 2 tiny homes on the property, so the outdoor areas and riverfront may be shared with up to 4 guests from the other tiny home, the Loft House. Your house is private (all to yourself) with your own attached front porch, as well as separate outdoor dining, grill, hammock chair, hammock, and paddles. The Shed, fire pit, outdoor area, and riverfront are shared with plenty of room to spread out.
Feel free to check out the other tiny house on the property, Meadow Lake Retreat Loft House. We also own Lake Nolte Retreat and Reiley Retreat.
We live locally and have local maintenance and housekeeping for needs that may arise during your stay.
Because we're in the country and near water, you may encounter various wildlife and bugs (snakes, skunks, raccoons, mice, spiders, roaches, wasps, etc). We utilize professional pest control on a regular schedule, but this does not guarantee a pest-free visit, inside or out.
We love this place because it's quiet, near the end of a dead end country road with cows and lots of stars. But it's still super convenient (5 minutes) to many things like Walmart and HEB.
RIGHT OFF I-10 AND CENTRALLY LOCATED TO: - essentials like HEB, Walmart, Starbucks, restaurants, movie theater (<6 miles) - Gruene/New Braunfels/Schlitterbahn (20 miles) - San Marcos outlet malls (25 miles) - San Antonio (~40 miles) - Austin (~50 miles)
You'll likely need a car to get around. HEB will deliver groceries to your doorstep via Shipt. Please check on Uber/DoorDash as those services seem to be intermittent here.
A link to our Rental Agreement will be sent vie email. A security hold of $250 is required and processed by host on guest's credit card.
NO smoking. Smoking of any kind (including tobacco, marijuana, e-cigarettes, vape pens, and hookahs) is prohibited at this property, inside and out.
NO possession or use of illegal drugs.
NO pets. Although we are pet lovers, this is a shared property with other guests who may be sensitive (allergic, fearful) to pets.
NO large parties or gatherings allowed. We have neighbors with full-time residence nearby who will report back with excessive noise or groups that exceed the home limit. Parking limited to 2 vehicles. Total guest count (including day guests) limited to 4.

We enjoyed our stay at the bunkhouse. It was just right for 4 of us, the kids really liked the bunkbeds. The best part was waking up early & enjoying coffee on the upper deck looking out over the water and sitting up there in the late evening with a drink.

Amazing for a little family
The house had everything we needed above and beyond the house was nice and cozy, and it made us have a lot of bonding with each other. This house is amazing for a little family.
My husband and our kids loved this cute little house and the location was perfect!
The kids enjoyed the kayak and fishing and the outdoor shower was so neat! We will definitely stay here again!
This was such a great little spot on the river. Well kitted out with almost everything we needed and the labeling system was super helpful. It was clean and comfortable too. I was surprised with how few mosquitoes there were for being so close to the water and in May. Town is a quick drive away should you need anything. We had a wonderful time!

Exactly what we needed
The weekend was exactly what I needed. A break away from busy life and into nature! Loved having the view of the river and took the kayak out for a leisurely stroll. It was hard to leave and the accommodations were really cute and I’d absolutely visit again!

Beautiful weekend
What a beautiful weekend get away at meadow creek retreat! Laura’s home was beautiful & clean. She goes above and beyond to make her guests feel like they are at home while away from home. The river was also the perfect place for rest and relaxation. Beautiful scenery and perfect location. I will be back!!
My daughter and I booked the Bunk house for a week visit with friends who just had a baby Wanted to find a place where the new mom and dad could relax and enjoy some time with us. Everything was perfect. We enjoyed beautiful sunsets eating dinner outside each night, enjoyed relaxing in the hammocks and spent the days swimming and using the kayaks. The hosts are very easy to contact but really not needed as they have everything covered, even down to labeling the light switches and all of the kitchen cabinets, an added touch I very much appreciated
Everything was great! The amenities provided, the location, everything was wonderful. Loved that they provide life jackets of all sizes and kayaks. Each of my daughters (age 10 and 7) were able to kayak. Making smores with our weekend neighbors was a special treat. We could lay on the hammocks all day if we could! Laura was so friendly and such a great host!
First off, this tiny home is SO nice inside, and the property was absolutely pristine. Everything is labeled, and a lot of supplies are provided (k-cups / first aid kit / basic cooking ingredients) - added bonus! The setting is just beautiful - upper deck is so nice to look out over the water. My kids loved the hanging swings and hammock (and so did I). More than anything, Laura is the best host I've ever encountered! Super fast and thorough responses, truly cares about your experience, and so friendly! HIGHLY recommend this place!

Absolute gem
Absolute gem of a place! Everything was perfect. Staying right on the river was incredible. Super easy to get in and out with their new dock. The outdoor kitchen and common area with hammocks was a really nice touch. Breathtaking views and sunsets. Everything was organized and labelled really clearly. Plenty of plates/mugs/pots/etc. The host, Laura was really nice and helpful. Will definitely be booking again. Even though there is another tiny home on the property, there are lots of spots in the common area and docks to eat and relax, so there was never any worry of being in each other's way or space.

Perfect weekend getaway
We were just looking to get away from the city for the weekend and this was the perfect spot. We will definitely look at coming back in the summer. Beautiful view and very peaceful.
We had an absolute blast! The owners were so helpful and eager to help us however we needed, the location and house itself was great, nothing but positive things to say! If you can stay an extra night, it really makes the experience, we will absolutely be returning
Such a cute and peaceful place. The kids loved the convenience of the water and the lily pad!
Just a few miles from town and a 25/30 min drive to New Braunsfels/ Gruene. We had such a fun time with plenty of things to do. The property is so cute and had great amenities. Will for sure rent this place again.

Great place to stay and very clean
Our stay here was really the best we have experienced, Laura is a super host and very attentive to whatever you need. The place was extremely clean well supplied with
anything needed. Thankyou Laura for having us stay at your place.
regards,
Jim and Polly
Evenings by the fire, mornings over the river! Stunning location. The small hot water heater should be listed in the rental information, however the outdoor shower was awesome!
Great little weekend getaway for my husband and I! It was beautiful and peaceful! The bunkhouse was absolutely perfect, clean, cute, well stocked with everything you need! Laura was fabulous to work with!!
Couldn’t have asked for a better first vacation rental experience! The accommodations were perfect for what we were wanting. The scenery was beautiful and I really appreciated the thoroughness of the hosts. Everything in the house was labeled, check in/out instructions were clear and easy, and the price was appropriate.

Great Fun at Meadow Lake
Our stay in the bunk house on Meadow Lake was so fun! We enjoyed the tiny home that has all the amenities of home. We kayaked, paddle boarded and floated in the lake. All of the trees provided lots of shade and there were so many places to sit and enjoy all the sounds of nature. The covered patio was a perfect place to sit and play cards or read a book. The green lights in the lake at night attracted all kinds of fish. We will definitely take our fishing poles next time. This place was a great get away spot and we will be returning!

Lovely place to celebrate spring
What a lovely place to celebrate spring!
Magnificent trees on the property, home of a diverse wildlife... we observed flamboyant green lizards 🦎, couples of cardinals, falcons... and a owl was singing while we were enjoying a fire.
We used all the equipments provided for the water fun 🏄♂️
The Guadalupe River is quite nice and already warm enough to enjoy a swim.
The water currents makes kayaking a great exercise!
Great relaxing on each and any of the many patio, dock and decks... great outdoors!
Very well furnished and confortable place to stay at !
Laura always communicated well, such a lovely and caring person!
The host was worried about wear and tear, but not until we were already staying at the property. She notified me via text message one morning while already checked in, that the second part of my reservation with her at another property of hers would not work due to me having a party of 4/5. She stated that the wear and tear from having a family of 4/5 would not work for her. The place was very dirty on arrival. If you don't like security cameras stay away. There are cameras everywhere, makes it very uncomfortable to enjoy yourself.
