We had a great long weekend stay at the River Rd. Treehouses. The area is quaint and secluded in a shaded, wooden area under trees. Parking is along the street side directly across from the tree houses, there is no designated parking lot with spaces. To get to each treehouse you have to cross a bridge that is situated over a dry creek- so loading and unloading our belongings took a couple of trips to and from the car. We stayed in Whippoorwill Haus and were happy with the space- we had more than enough room for my husband and I and our two dogs. The house seemed clean upon arrival. The only complaint I have is that I found a bunch of women's clothing and makeup in a bedroom drawer that seemed to have been left behind- so not sure how thorough of a cleaning job they did. There is a loft with two beds that we only went up to once, just to view. The spiral staircase is narrow and somewhat difficult to go up- I wouldn't suggest bringing any bags or suitcases up there. Otherwise we stayed on the first floor of our cabin the whole weekend. The couches were a bit outdated but comfortable. The kitchen is small and has an electric stove. The kitchen utensils they supplied were at a bare minimum and cheap, but it did the job. I suggest bringing disposable utensils and plates. Also, if you plan on making any special meals- you need to bring your own seasonings, special pans, oil, etc. The kitchen is stocked with a minimum amount of dishes, utensils, and pots/pans- this is not like an air bnb- there was no leftover soap or cooking oil in the pantries. No shampoo or other bathroom toiletries, so be prepared to bring everything with you, including paper towels, FYI. We came with a group of friends and so we were able to share the common outdoor patio between our tree house and Morning Dove. There is a charcoal grill located outside of each house which we used every night for dinner. The grill was pretty dirty so bring cleaning supplies. The outdoor shared patio space has 2 large tables which were perfect for our large group. We loved sitting outside in the evenings to watch all the deer. The Guadalupe River access for tubing is across the street and about a 5 minute walk. It is not private as there are other houses and rentals along that location of the river. We went in August and the river level was pretty low so make sure you check the level before your stay if you're definitely interested in tubing. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here. It was a great, local Texas escape during covid times. We loved that the tree houses are dog friendly and I highly recommend staying here if you are with a big group of friends. read more

Perfect location. Amenities spot on. Nothing needed, nothing too much. Priceing was very favorable since we were there after labor day. Clean, well maintained and comfortable King. Shower was large and the place spotless. Highly recommend. No issues other then the stairs. Gotta great view but that meant stairs. We learned to economize trips. Nice balcony to eat on or watch fishermen and floaters. No stove but a hot plate, micro and fridge. All that you really need is there. Just bring easy foods. There is even more information on their website. read more

DON'T GET FOOLED BY THE PICTURES. IT'S FALSE ADVERTISEMENT. This was supposed to be a "tree house," but 2 trees surrounding the house were cut (the house's name is cardinal casita) and the company didn't notify us prior to our arrival. We paid for a "tree house" experience, but it's nothing like a tree house. It's just a house in a rural area facing towards the road. Since there's no trees, there's no privacy from the road or the parking area. Additionally do not trust the pictures on the website. The pictures make it look like the whole area is so much bigger and nicer than it actually is. I contacted the office and asked for the 2nd night cancellation/refund because we did not want to stay for another night. All I heard from the representative was she can't provide us refund. The trees were cut for safety issues and unable to provide the manager's phone number. Inside the house, I killed at least 10 flies in just one night in December. There are deers in the back of the house which is the only cool part about this place but also causes a lot of flies and smell. I will never going back and do not recommend properties owned by Seguin Travel Company. read more

We enjoyed our stay here. The place is quaint and clean. Having the river a few feet away was nice. We would definitely stay here again. read more

Three and half star, unable to mark a half on yelp. Overall great location, river is across river road next to the pink pepto houses. The treehouse had stairs that were extremely narrow and were more fit for a child than an adult. Our friends who stayed upstairs in loft said other than the stairs it was great, spacious double beds. Had some toilet issues as it kept running and would not always flush - will notify owners upon leaving since it did not inhibit our stay. They do have wheelbarrows for u to tote your items to and from the car which was great. We used those after we arrived when we saw them. Nice grilling area but you have to share space with neighbor if they are outside, ours were not. Also walls are very thin inside and outside so you can hear easily between the treehouses. read more

The location and overall site were great. The Bird's Eye Perch is really cute and nice view of dry creek bed amongst very large mature trees. The Guadalupe River is just across the street. The surrounding area has great river options and great hiking along the river near the lake. The house is in serious need of maintenance. Numerous lights out. Only one working A/C. Large burner on stove not working. No temperature setting on oven dial. Toilet leaks by, so refills often. No controls for ceiling fan speeds. Exposed light switches. Front door hard to close. Floors dirty upon arrival. Breadcrumbs on tablecloth. Would expect a clean house since have to pay a separate cleaning fee for stay. This could be a 5 Star place if maintained better. read more

Well they tell you they have a private location on the river to use when you stay on the location that is only for guests. The problem is that they let the general public use it as a park and there are large rowdy groups that come and set up camp. The chairs, hammock and fire pit were all occupied by large groups of people that had driven their cars on to the property. It was very clear that these large crowds were not staying at the property and it was very intimidating to my family. They need to control these crowds that are squatting. Have you thought about issuing arm bands and patrolling the property? I would not go back. I would rent an individual property where I dont have hordes of locals taking advantage of the location that I PAID for. Stay away! read more

Disappointed. Management company did a very impressive job and I really liked the Hospitality app. I emailed the Mgt twice and they were very responsive. Personnel we came into contact with were extremely friendly, polite, and helpful. The photography on River Road Treehouses website needs to be updated to reflect what the interiors look like today. We were in the Birdseye and it looked nothing like the beautiful house depicted on the website. In my opinion, the facility needs some serious love ( paint, new windows, new linens, new towels, etc) because it is heavily shop worn. The furniture smelled of body odor / dirty hair and the bathroom did not have a window leaving the house smelling like a musty shower all day. Just could not get comfortable with the cleanliness although I admit I'm a clean freak. It makes my skin crawl to see mold growing above the shower on the ceiling. Yuk. Just felt a little duped and that I didn't get what I thought I was paying for. I won't go back. My compliments to the photographer. read more

We came here to the Mockingbird cabin for a girls weekend and it was so great!! There was 5 of us total, and it was perfect. The cabin was clean and the area was great. The website says it sleeps 8, but I would say 6 max, 8 would be tight. It is close to tubing and music and of course all the other awesome towns around there. Would recommend and stay again for sure! read more

If I could rate it zero stars I would. Waste of money. Completely overpriced considering what you are getting. Parking is pretty messy. There was a smell in the water inside the unit. Sheets looked laid in previously. The unit I had was the farthest away. And there was a random guy on my porch at one point. I am a smoker and I smoked OUTSIDE of course and was still charged for smoking inside of the unit. The "river access" is across the road and down just a ledge to even get to the river. Management was a mess and very unprofessional. Zero stars do not recomend. Not even much of a treehouse as just a house ontop of an empty creek. Save your money. read more

This is camping with an attitude. Loved the place. It's pretty quiet and peaceful. I will be going back. May have to have our family reunion there. read more

My wife and I stayed at the river road tree houses in October with some friends from out of state. We all loved the tree houses, nice, quiet, and clean! Walking around the river park and driving around river road was a treat. We will be back in the Summer! read more

River Road Treehouses gets one star ONLY because the location is pretty & peaceful. That, and Yelp doesn't have a lower option. Other than the view there aren't many positives. We checked in Monday for three nights. Total about $1,000. Immediately when we got there I felt taken advantage of. The pictures & advertisements are not accurate. Walking up to the tree house was dirty. The front door was beat up & needed to be cleaned & painted. The concept of the place is great, but they are not maintained. The inside smells of mildew. Maybe from the ac units that have visible mildew on them or maybe from the bathroom area that has rotting cabinets and floors from water damage. The kitchen needs a deep cleaning & some updating. The numbers on the knobs on the stove were even rubbed off. We had several lights, including the main loft light, out. They were quick to fix. They took care of that & I pulled out cleaning products & got busy. I mean, we were there & going to make the best of it. I cannot stress enough how badly this place needs a deep clean! The master bedroom is a good size. The bed, however, is uncomfortable & so squeaky that it wakes you up. There aren't blinds on the windows, only curtains you close. I get it, the view is very pretty, but we were in Cardinal Casita which has a master that looks out to a common area & happens to have a flood light that goes on & off all night. The beds in the loft were really comfortable & it was actually quite clean up there. The staircase is super small so don't bring anyone on the bigger size to stay up there. The patio was delightful & we cooked on the pit every night. You cross river road to get to the water which happened to be really low this week. We went elsewhere for water. We still enjoyed ourselves, I wish this property the best, but we would never stay here again. Hopefully they update & clean it for more people to enjoy. read more

I love this place! We will be coming back year after year! Our kids loved the loft and the spiral stair cases. The walk down to the river was so nice and not too far. It was so nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and just relax with my husband and kids! Next time we will bring our friends! read more

We really enjoyed our visit to New Braunfels & we stayed at the River Road tree houses in the Birdseye Perch cabin. It's a neat concept, however I wouldn't necessarily recommend this place due to the following reasons: - cleanliness. This place could really use a deep cleaning. The layers of dust on the ceiling fan in the living room, on the baseboards, in the bathroom, on the refrigerator and upstairs are pretty bad. - beds and pillows. If the owners would invest a little bit of money in improved mattresses and pillows. It would go a long way. The pillows have absolutely zero support and you can feel the springs trying to come through the mattress. - Bird poop on the patio. We didn't get a chance to sit in the chairs on the patio because they are covered with bird poop. This is obviously because were below some beautiful trees, but an awning would help improve this and allow for us to use the outdoor space. With just a little bit of TLC, I would give this place three or four stars. read more

These are NOT treehouses. If are looking to stay in an actual treehouse, do not book here. I booked for spring break as my daughter wanted to stay in a treehouse -- the one we stayed in was accessed from ground level and only a few feet from a busy road. The cabins (not treehouses) are positioned over a dry creek bed as well. The accommodation is moderately nice if you are not expecting it to actually be a treehouse or to be near the river. read more

Came here with my parents and husband. Very nice quiet area, beautiful scenery, nice space to enjoy for off season! Tree house was clean, beds were comfortable but pillows are flatter than a pancake, I would definitely bring extra pillows if you want. Also, there is only one mirror and it is in the bathroom. It would be awesome if they had a full length body mirror in the main bedroom on the back of a door or anything, especially if there are women staying in these tree houses. Spiral staircase is tight going up and down, but it's an awesome concept!! Would love to come back with friends for a nice quiet weekend get away! read more

The treehouses are a great little get away! It was cold and rainy during our stay (Jan, of course!), but we still enjoyed our stay and were warm and cozy inside! The cabin was very clean and kitchen was nicely stocked with dishes, pans, etc. They even had coffee, cream and sugar! The spiral staircase is narrrow, as is mentioned on the website, but fits in with the treehouse/cabin idea! The loft beds were comfy, but the master bed downstairs was not as great-not bad, just not as great. Can't wait to return when it's warm out! read more

This place is not clean! Food left dried up on the table, mildew smell, no upkeep at all. Furniture is just plain dirty and feels gross. So if no maint. Is done on this place how clean are the beds- hmmm I could not stay here and had to leave. The pictures online must be from a few years ago or photoshopped! If your looking for a romantic getaway - go elsewhere. Sorry owners but a little maint will go a long way with your guest. read more

My husband & I wanted to get away, sit on the porch by the river to read books and relax. Didn't happen! The "Treehouses" were very misleading. The houses were not "Treehouses" but small houses on the side of a ditch. No Water anywhere. We were directly on the road. The hammocks were literally underneath the house and there was no way to get to them except hike down into the ditch. The house was itself OK. But we ran across some very confusing things. First, there were 18 light switches (Yes, I counted them). There were 7 remote controls. Nothing was labeled so we didn't know what worked what?? There were only 2 TV's & 2 DVD players so we have no idea what the other remotes were for. Then in the living room the DVD player was on top of the kitchen cabinet. In order to use it, I had to climb up on the bar stool, stand on the kitchen counter top and try to reach the correct button on the player. Then do the same thing to remove the DVD. Very Strange & Dangerous!! The couch pillows were filthy and torn. The front windows faced the road and some bright pink buildings across the busy street and the side windows faced the next door "Treehouse". Very close together. We were very disappointed and will never recommend this property. read more

DO NOT RENT HERE!! Worst experience ever,upon arrival we were told by the lady in the front that we could "not check in until 3:00 o'clock and that she would not help us for free" so we had about a hour to wait. Finally at 3 we were still not able to check in because the door code would not work! The lady at the front was no help again she stated "I do not know the code" and we were left to figure it out on our own. It was pouring rain and with 4 kids and a baby it was not only frustrating but it was rude and annoying that we could not get any help with getting in our "treehouse" at 239$ a night you would think there would be people to help us but NO! We did not get into our room until 4:00 o'clock because my brother finally got through to someone over the 800 phone number I DO NOT RECOMMEND these "tree houses" and I put parentheses because they are not tree houses they are super small cabins surrounded by tree scenery. There are plenty of other places you can rent for the same price but have a much nicer experience. The cabins themselves are very cozy and there actually is plenty of space to hang inside and out. The kitchen did not have enough pots, pans and knives so be sure to bring your own. My family and I did enjoy our stay but the customer service and check in and the lady up front who did not want to help or be bothered by anyone just ruined it my family and I will definitely be choosing a different rental next time read more

I just returned today from a weekend stay at the River Road Treehouses. I have my pros and cons about this place. First off, the cons are there were a couple bee hives so we couldn't leave the doors open to enjoy the weather because bees kept coming inside. Then the stair case was for smaller sized people it is only about a foot wide and is a twirled staircase , not good for larger people or disabled. Another is the cabins are smaller than what the pictures make it seem to be. And the biggest con was the master bedrooms bed had other people's hair on the sheets indicating they weren't changed and the heater downstairs didn't work so we had to use the plug in ones they provide. Now for the pros: it's on the river, all appliances and kitchen stuff provided, we rented the Mourning Dove and Whippoorwill Haus which means we shared a deck and BBQ pits. Pricing was on the higher side but it's a vacation place for families so I guess it's expected. Not much to do during the winter but summer would be better because you can canoe and go tubing. Me and my family wouldn't be returning or recommending but it wasn't a bad stay either. read more

We stayed in the Mockingbird Lodge over Christmas. It was cute and a good location, BUT, half the light bulbs were burned out, the toilet self-flushed every 10 minutes or so, and someone had dumped trash under our cabin by the hammock...which itself (the hammock) was sort of icky. read more

Very neat idea but not worth the money. We got a special off livingsocial and stayed for a week. The kids loved it due to the small creek below to play in. On the first day we asked for extra towels since there are 6 of us and it took them 3 days to bring them. On day 2 our microwave went out and it took another day to replace that. On day one and two we saw the occasional cockroach and thought nothing of it. We are up in a tree, bugs are expected. However on day 4 a marble rolled under the frig so we pulled it out to get it because it belonged to a game for the kids. Under it was a HUGE nest of cockroaches scattering everywhere. This was late at night so we left a msg and they came first thing in the morning and were of course shocked. The handyman of course later told my husband the owner never checks on anything and they lack cleaning here. The place could use a good cleaning. The ceiling out on the patio was covered in cobwebs and the ceiling fans inside had years of packed on dust. The beds were very uncomfortable. I do not recommend this place at all unless you are wanting to go camping. read more
