Horseshoe Riverside Lodge

Great place to stay right on the Guadalupe River. The room was clean and the bed was one of the most comfortable I have slept on ( I have a bad back so this is important to me). Wendy was a great source for information about the area and made sure we had a great stay.

I rated Horseshoe a “5” because the check-in was easy, the location for tuning was excellent, the room was clean, the patio behind the hotel was lovely overlooking the river, and the proprietors were friendly and accommodating people. I recommend highly!

Chose to stay here as it’s within walking distance from the Whitewater Amphitheatre and we were there to see Willie Nelson. Amazing setting, clean and comfortable rooms. Great meeting other people in the areas outside and river setting is beautiful. Based ourselves here to go to Gruene Hall and surrounding small towns. Fantastic service and very friendly. Over and beyond. Only con, shower wasn’t great, everything else perfect.

We had 3 rooms for a family wedding weekend and loved all 3 rooms. The beds were very comfortable and the rest of the amenities were better than a hotel. We were on the Guadalupe River with a lovely patio to go out on. Grills were on site to cook, if we wanted, the rooms were very clean and the husband and wife managing the place were very friendly. Would stay here again without a doubt.

Outstanding, I was thoroughly impressed with the back patio area. It was a great place to relax and enjoy a cocktail next to the river after a long day motorcycle riding in the hill country. I can see myself staying there anytime I’m in the area.

This hotel is as cute as can be and I will definitely be back. The biggest selling points for me were the hotel location right next to the river, and the massive and shaded patio in the back of the hotel facing river. The room was very clean and had a nicely decorated horseshoe theme to match the name of the hotel. The room layout was well thought out and very functional with plenty of room to put a couple of suitcases, bags, a couple of coolers and not be in the way. The hotel grounds are clean and exceptionally well maintained. I especially enjoyed drinking my morning coffee sitting on the patio under the shade of huge oak trees and enjoying the view of the river. A couple of ducks waddled up to us on the patio from the river to check us out. Sitting on the beautiful patio at night was also very relaxing while hearing the river flow. You can literally walk out the back door of your room onto the patio, which runs longer than the length of the hotel with plenty of seating (benches, tables, and picnic tables). There are a couple of grills on the patio, and a shaded pool next to the patio. Thank you to Wendy for a nice stay!

We recently hosted a reunion of 20 Air Force retiree couples who were stationed together in Japan in the late ‘80s. Wendy and Doc, the managers, took great care of us. Check-ins were smooth. The rooms were very clean. The riverside patio was perfect for visiting with a few or a lot of our friends at a time. Many chair and tables. We served all our meals on the patio. Great view. Easy access to the river for our tubing events. Clean pool. We loved this place and the wonderful, kind, helpful couple that manages it. Whether you need one room or the entire lodge, you won’t be disappointed.

Very nice and clean hotel right on the river. Very convenient location for river tubing. The owners are very nice. The service was great. The back patio overlooking the river is very nice. Clean pool. We had a great time

I was concerned about staying on the Guadalupe River on a holiday weekend because of the crowds. The lodge is right after the dam, the entry point on the river for floaters is about 100 yards down river front from the lodge- We had a great time. No over crowded river for us. Because the lodge is down river from the dam and the water is fed from the bottom of Canyon lake it was nice and cold. All of the staff (Wendy and Vinni) were great and very friendly, the room was clean. I even accidently stole Vinni's wine bottle opener (Sorry about that Vinni), it was great wine opener. We will definitely be staying again.
