Designed for Inside–Outside Living

River Haven was extensively renovated to blend indoor and outdoor living. The main living level features floor-to-ceiling glass facing the water, an open kitchen flowing into the dining and living areas, and large sliding doors that open onto a wraparound deck. Together, these spaces create a seamless main gathering area that works especially well for large groups using the kitchen, dining area, living room, grill, and deck at the same time.

Location & Setting

Located just outside New Braunfels, River Haven is set directly on Lake Placid, a wide, open stretch of the Guadalupe River with only two neighboring homes and no development across the river.

This unique setting, with 150 feet of private waterfront, offers expansive views framed by mature, towering trees and natural surroundings. With light boat traffic and no tubing congestion, this part of the river feels more private, relaxed, and settled. This calm, open atmosphere is truly unique to waterfront properties in this area.

Accomodations

The property features 11 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, and 3 kitchens across a Main House and a Guest House, comfortably accommodating up to 32 guests. Sleeping arrangements include beds for 28 guests along with futons for 6, offering plenty of flexibility for large groups.

  • In total there are 8 king beds, 5 queen beds, 1 double bed, and 3 futons, making it easy to host families, multi-generational gatherings, or groups of friends while ensuring everyone has a comfortable place to stay.

The Backyard

The River Haven features 150 feet of private waterfront with a spacious backyard that’s perfect for reunions, celebrations, retreats, and micro weddings. Step outside to enjoy direct water access from a 70 foot illuminated pier, outfitted with seating, umbrellas, a built in swim ladder and a large floating swim mat, always a guest favorite and especially loved by kids, along with a classic tetherball setup in the yard. 

Amenities

Enjoy high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the home along with Hulu Live TV that includes all the major sports channels. Entertainment options feature an indoor and outdoor speaker system, a 65-inch 4K TV in the main living room, a 60” HD TV in the kitchen, and a 100-inch HD projector screen in the Guest House, with TVs also available in five of the bedrooms.
