Guadalupe River · Sattler, Texas (River Road)
Below Canyon Dam, a Guadalupe River cabin on River Road for a three-night reservation
from$470for two sharing, 3 nights, $235 per person
This is a Guadalupe River cabin on River Road at Sattler, a one-bedroom unit at a cabin resort on the stretch of water just below Canyon Dam. We plan it for three summer nights between May and September, ask the resort whether your dates are open, and once you agree in writing we have the nights held in your name.
The figure starts from $235 per person with two people sharing, or from $470 for two. You pay the resort yourself, at its own desk and on its own schedule, and our planning costs you nothing, since the resort pays us a commission when your stay ends.

A one-bedroom cabin with the Guadalupe close by
You sleep in a one-bedroom cabin that belongs to a cabin resort along River Road. The resort runs its own units, keeps its own front desk and collects the hotel tax itself, so the person who hands you the key is the same business that holds your reservation.
Around the cabin lies the river corridor below the dam, where water released from the lake stays cool through the warm months. Two people share the cabin for the three nights, which is the unit the quoted figure is built on.

from$470for two sharing, 3 nights, $235 per person
The figure takes the resort's published rate of $154 a night for a cabin two can share, multiplies it by three nights and rounds up to $470 for two, which is $235 per person. The resort publishes no mandatory fees beyond the rate, only a charge for smoking or damage. Texas state hotel tax of 6% and any local hotel tax are added by the resort at checkout, and the amount is confirmed in writing for your dates.
Canyon Lake releases and a cold July Guadalupe
Water released from Canyon Lake feeds this part of the Guadalupe, and that is why the river here runs cold in July and August while rain-fed rivers to the north shrink. It sits in the spring-fed group of our catalog, between the San Marcos cabin at Fentress and the inn weekend at Gruene.
The nearest USGS gauge, 08167800, gives a median of monthly mean flow of 147.7 cubic feet per second (cfs) for May and 104.3 cfs for August across 1996 to 2025. August therefore holds on to 71% of the May flow, a steady pattern for a Hill Country summer.
Why cold Guadalupe water draws summer arrivals
We put this cabin forward for arrivals from May to September, when cold water is the whole reason to drive out. Even a river with a dam above it depends on rain over the long run, and the Hill Country has had a dry fall in 2026. Your written quote describes the river as it actually is the week you ask, and we make no promise about water levels, floating or tubing on any date.
Unit number, resort terms and taxes for Sattler
The quote names the cabin resort, the exact unit, your three nights and the price for those dates, with Texas hotel tax and any local hotel tax shown on a separate line. The resort's terms for a cancellation come with it, so you see them before you say yes.
This page works from the resort's published rate, read on 30 October 2026. Summer weekends, holidays and a different number of nights can move it, which is why only the written quote for real dates counts.
59 miles out with summer daylight to spare
From our office on Exposition Boulevard the trip is about 59 miles, roughly 1 hour 17 minutes by the usual route in light traffic. It is a short enough drive to leave after lunch on the first day and still reach the cabin with daylight to spare in summer.
Choosing your Sattler arrival
Tell us the month you would like to arrive and how you hope to use the water, and we will ask the resort about those nights. The request form takes a message at any hour, a request is free and holds no cabin by itself, and you can see how each figure is put together on the price breakdown page.
A request that arrives after 1 p.m., or on a Sunday or Monday, gets its written answer by 4 p.m. on the next phone day.
