You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
River Access Getaway / Fast WiFi / Firepit
THE AGAVE AT REILEY RETREAT hosted by CTXBNB: 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 Winter 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.

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.
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 via email.
NO smoking. Smoking of any kind (including tobacco, marijuana, e-cigarettes, vape pens, and hookahs) is prohibited at this property, inside and out.
NO pets. Although we are pet lovers, this is a shared property with other guests who may be sensitive (allergic, fearful) to pets.
