Situated along timeless River Road at the Ponderosa crossing, this bungalow is located along a quiet stretch of river that is ideal for kayaking, tubing and fishing, yet is only a short 8-minute drive to the Whitewater Amphitheater and the bustling "Horseshoe" section of the Guadalupe River.” A short drive away, guests can explore Canyon Lake, Canyon Dam, and historic Gruene for shopping and live music. Little Ponderosa Outfitters, just steps away, provides easy access to tube rentals for endless river fun.

Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the prime location of this home, surrounded by opportunities for trout fishing, tubing, kayaking, and more. This stretch of river benefits from annual trout stocking by not only Trout Unlimited but also Texas Parks & Wildlife, and the trout fishing is a great attraction from November through May each year. This home features a long driveway, helpful if you plan to trailer in your raft or kayak. The property features essential amenities such as central AC, a washer/dryer, a gas grill, and a riverside deck for relaxation and entertainment. With a maximum occupancy of 8 guests and 4 vehicles, this riverside retreat ensures a peaceful and memorable stay for families and friends alike.
