Whiskey River

Whiskey River is your Texas Hill Country basecamp: a condo styled as a love letter to Texas music, with private river access and Gruene Hall a short walk away.

Park the car, grab your tubes, and forget about driving. The gated complex has its own private access to the Guadalupe River, right by the rapids at Gruene, so the water is a short walk from your door. Rockin R Tubes is across the street, and Gruene Hall, the oldest dance hall in Texas, is a half mile away.

The complex sits right on the Guadalupe with private river access for swimming and tubing. We're downstream of Canyon Lake Dam, so water levels change with release schedules. Some days it's a lazy float, other days the swimming area is smaller. Rockin R Tubes, across the street, can tell you current conditions.

What makes Whiskey River different:
✔ A custom Texas music theme throughout, including a guitar made from Texas license plates as a tribute to Willie
✔ Private Guadalupe River access just for the complex. Grab your tubes and go, with no parking and no shuttle
✔ Rockin R Tubes, Texas's most popular tubing outfitter, is across the street
✔ A half mile walk to Gruene Hall, plus shopping and restaurants. Easy on a nice day, with plenty of Ubers on a hot summer afternoon
✔ A huge private patio with a large dining table, couch, and chairs, opening from both the living room and the primary bedroom
✔ Riverside picnic tables, grills, and smokers for the complex. Pick a spot and make a day of it
✔ Gated complex with an elevator and two private parking spaces
✔ 20 minutes to Whitewater Amphitheater. Rockin R sometimes runs a shuttle for big shows
✔ High end mattresses, linens, and furnishings throughout

Your hosts:
We're Distilled Destinations, a small, family-run collection of upscale homes in places we love to visit. We're Superhosts with properties in Orange Beach, Steamboat Springs, Gruene TX, and Mars Hill NC. We're just a message away during your stay, and we take pride in stocking these homes like we'd want our own family to find them.
