Wrapped in the green forest of summer, Casa del Rio Riverhouse is a tranquil and safe place in the country to relax and enjoy the winding, cool water of the beautiful Guadalupe River. Guests reside in a lovely stone and stucco cottage overlooking the river below. Fall colors tantalize the senses as we progress to the stark beauty of winter with sight of the cliffs and hills. All through the year the starry night is ablaze at this tranquil retreat. This beautiful property offers water, wings and wildlife for photographers and nature lovers, quiet seclusion for romantic getaways, and a comfortable, river-centered atmosphere for family fun. Whether looking for the perfect setting for a family gathering, or just a respite from the daily grind, you will find it under the huge Cypress and Chinkapin Oak trees at Casa del Rio Riverhouse!

Famous TX Resort Area!: We are within a 5 mile radius of many private boys and girls camps, and a mile away is Crider’s rodeo and dance hall, a tradition since 1927. The nearby Hunt Store is a familiar landmark in these hills where cowboys and city folk share stories while sitting by a warm fire or eating a delicious meal. Fredericksburg, a popular shopping place, is only a 45 minute drive away. Our area is also known for its art, music, arts & crafts, outdoor summer plays, wineries and antiquing.
We welcome you as our guest, happy that you are here, and will greet you warmly, making you instantly feel at home.
There is 50 acres here to explore along the beautiful clear waters of the Guadalupe River and a 250' hill to climb just beyond.
Two canoes are provided to canoe 3/4 of a mile in the wide deep part of the river to a waterfall, Angel Falls, to observe the beauty there. There is several acres in the yard in which to play baseball, volleyball, and for the children to run and play.
There is no property that compares to the beauty, peace, and serenity that is here at Casa del Rio Riverhouse, and the welcoming provided by the host, Betty, who has the greatest guests that come to the Texas Hill Country for a Texas size get-away.
I love being host to these awesome, wonderful, kind and loving guests.
Betty
