W.O.R.D Permit- L1350
Perched high on a dramatic limestone cliff overlooking the Guadalupe River, Clutter Falls Retreat is a one-of-a-kind Hill Country escape where sweeping views, soothing river sounds, and rustic-luxe comfort come together in perfect harmony. Located just minutes from the heart of historic Gruene, this private retreat offers exclusive use of both the Main House and the Guest House, making it an ideal destination for families, friends, or multi-generational groups seeking space, scenery, and a truly memorable setting.
From the moment you arrive, the elevated vantage point sets the tone. The river rapids and falls below provide a constant, calming soundtrack, while panoramic Hill Country views stretch out from nearly every room and outdoor space. Though the property overlooks the Guadalupe River, it does not include river access—allowing guests to enjoy the beauty and serenity from above in complete privacy.
The Main House is a beautifully crafted two-story home designed for comfort and connection. With three spacious bedrooms, two and a half baths, and accommodations for up to eight guests, it balances refined rustic style with thoughtful functionality. The interior features carefully curated furnishings, rich leather accents, and warm textures that create an upscale river lodge feel without sacrificing a clean, modern aesthetic. Large windows frame the river and canyon views, drawing the outdoors in at every turn.
At the heart of the Main House is a gourmet kitchen that invites lingering mornings and shared meals. Outfitted with generous countertops, quality appliances, and leather bar seating, it opens seamlessly into a stately dining area with seating for six and a grand rock fireplace—perfect for gathering after a day of exploring. The adjacent living space offers plush leather seating, a large flat-screen TV, and breathtaking views that make it just as tempting to unplug and watch the river drift by.
Sleeping accommodations in the Main House are equally inviting. The downstairs primary bedroom features a king bed and a private en-suite bath with a walk-in shower. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms—one with a king bed and one with a full bed—share a full bath with a shower, offering comfortable and private spaces for everyone in your group. A sofa sleeper in the living area provides additional flexibility.
Outdoor living is where the Main House truly shines. Multiple decks and seating areas allow guests to dine al fresco, relax on the porch swing, or simply take in the expansive views. On the lower-level deck, an inviting hot tub awaits—perfect for unwinding beneath the stars while listening to the river below.
Just steps away, the Guest House offers a charming and private complement to the Main House. This two-story A-frame is ideal for extended family, couples, or kids who want their own retreat. With two bedrooms, one full bath, and accommodations for up to four guests, it continues the same rustic-upscale design theme with warm wood plank ceilings and cozy, thoughtfully styled interiors. The main sleeping area features a queen bed with a memory foam topper, while the upstairs open loft provides two twin beds, making it especially well-suited for children.
The Guest House includes a comfortable living area with a large-screen TV, beautiful views, and a welcoming sofa, along with a convenient kitchenette equipped with a mini fridge and microwave—perfect for snacks, coffee, or light bites. Outside, guests can enjoy a private hot tub on the front deck, an intimate outdoor dining area, and uninterrupted Hill Country scenery that makes evenings feel effortlessly romantic and restorative.
Clutter Falls Retreat is perfectly positioned for exploring everything the area has to offer. Less than a mile away, Gruene Historic District beckons with live music at the iconic Gruene Hall, riverside dining at The Gristmill, boutique shopping, wine tasting, and seasonal outdoor markets. Nearby New Braunfels offers endless activities, from floating the Guadalupe River and visiting Landa Park to enjoying Schlitterbahn Waterpark, local breweries, and wineries. Wimberley, Canyon Lake, and a variety of parks, preserves, and swimming holes are all within easy driving distance, offering hiking, boating, zip-lining, and unforgettable Hill Country adventures.
Whether you’re soaking in the hot tub under a canopy of stars, sharing meals with loved ones while overlooking the river, or heading out to explore the music, food, and natural beauty of the Texas Hill Country, Clutter Falls Retreat offers a rare combination of privacy, scenery, and location. This is more than a place to stay—it’s a destination designed for slowing down, reconnecting, and savoring every moment together.
