2 Bedroom House in Seguin

THE LONE STAR AT REILEY RETREAT: Perched above the banks of the Guadalupe River in Seguin, TX. Bright, updated duplex offers comforts of home with a surplus of amenities. Great hub to explore Central Texas. Fire pit & hammock. Sleeps 5 ($25/night surcharge for 5th guest).
WATER LEVEL & FLOW
The water level in the photos are accurate. The water level has dropped 12 feet since October 2021 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. *Our dam repairs are scheduled to be complete Fall 2025 and the lake will slowly fill over the subsequent weeks/months.
Most of our dry lakebed is overgrown, and there are only few paths (75-100 yards long) that folks have cleared to get to the river. The spots you can access are good for fishing and wading, up to 6 feet deep in the river channel. There's no boat traffic so it's very quiet.
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.
If you're looking for a place to kayak and paddleboard, you should check out our other properties about 15 minutes down river: Meadow Lake Retreat and Lake Nolte Retreat.

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.

Summary: I found the Lone Star at Riley Retreat to be one of my favorite places to go relax, regroup, and just be! The atmosphere is calm and the place has a peaceful quality that is very rare. A real true writer's haven. The local amenities are great! I look forward to a winter's stay.

Summary: My wife and I stayed for a month and enjoyed our stay immensely. We travelled more than 1600 miles to the area from home and had not been to the area before. The directions were accurate and easy to follow to find the property. The property had all the amenities that we needed for our stay, the facility was organized and clean and we had no issues while staying there. We were provided with information about the area including local points of interest, so we enjoyed several local restaurants, points of interest and we travelled to other close towns in the area. Our stay was enjoyable and we would certainly return if the opportunity presents itself. Thanks
