Waltonia Lodges is a great place to stay. The cabins have a homey feel that are very nice and comfortable. My family has came here for generations and I don't plan on ending that tradition. The owner/ owners have been amazing and the one time there was a mistake with our cabin the owner was extremely kind and due to the mistake we were given a much bigger nicer cabin for the mistake at the same price. Being on the Guadeloupe is very nice as well. Overall an amazing place and can't wait to keep going for years.

Absolutely wonderful stay on the river. Playground for children, far enough from the river so parents can relax. Super river access. Great birding in the fall. The owners are great. We got in on a late reservation. Super super place.Nearby activities: Centrally located for Kerrville, Criders, Lost Maples. Newly remodeled rooms were fantastic. Other rooms are rustic. Pick your preference.

My family has been vacationing at Waltonia since the 1940’s. It has a special place in my heart and many childhood memories were formed here. The place has been through many changes but these recent changes made by Mandi and Neal Secor are the most promising.The cabins are sooo much nicer than in recent past. The updated furniture and kitchen equipment were much needed. The grounds look much better kept as well.Our brief weekend stay in Cabin 3 was perfect. We were there to float on the river and relax and the simple rustic cabin was just enough to keep us comfortable and have a good nights sleep. The bed was nice and a brand new AC unit kept us cool in the hot Texas summer.I miss all the animals that have roamed the property for years (goats, donkeys, and peacocks) but I understand in these times it is hard to keep up with them.Overall very impressed with the changes to Waltonia. It’s kept the cool Hill Country vibe and stayed mostly modern. Nicely done Mandi and Neal ????

We stayed in the oldest cabin. It was rustic, funky and perfectly comfortable. We enjoyed the collection of watercolor paintings that covered the walls and ceiling. It’s not for everyone, but it was perfect for us. The rest of our group stayed in newer cabins. Everyone enjoyed the river and chill atmosphere. This place is authentic. Great owners!

I feel like this place is some kind of "best kept secret" of the Hill Country. The cabins are very comfortable and clean, and the grounds are really nice! There are yard games and play-areas for kids. The best part is their access to the river. It is an excellent section of the Guadalupe that is deep and clear. We enjoyed using their kayaks and canoe to explore it. We went with our college-aged daughter and my mom. All three generations loved it! We are going to strongly keep this in mind for family reunions, as it would be a perfect place for each family to have their own cabin but still be able to hang out together comfortably with things to do. We will absolutely return even if we can't rangle everyone else to join us! Great job to the owners, you have a treasure on your hands and it is apparent you are taking great care of it.

A national treasure...well ok a Central Texas treasure. The world would be a better place if more people stayed here. Definitely a great place to "chill" in summer heat. Ignore nay sayers.

The cabins are beautifully renovated with new patios mattresses dishes televisions and much more. Our cabin was clean and the new furniture was comfortable. The screened in porch is wonderful for morning coffee or playing a game of rummikub. The grounds are updated and well kept. The private river and docks are amazing with stairs to get in and out of the water. Kayaks a canoe and life jackets make for a fun adventure to the upper rapids. Everything needed in the kitchen is now provided and each cabin has a nice bbq which is a plus. We love this place so very much and look forward to going back. The owner did not request our review in case you are wondering. I suggest going to their website to see pictures of the renovated cabins and grounds. Cabin 12 is very nice

I've been coming to Waltonia every summer since 2006, and my wife's family since the 50s. I love this special place and no matter what other fun travels we have each year, Waltonia is a must. We always love spending a summer week here and hanging out with other families who are also here every summer.The cabins are as TX Hill Country as it gets. Rustic and charming but comfortable and cool in the summer time. We love that the cabins form a horseshoe around the center activities area where families play all day and into the night. Not only is it fun, but we catch up on rest while the kids wear themselves out because we don't have to hover over them the entire time. They make friends and all the families can keep an eye on everything from the cabin front porches while relaxing or grilling. My kids always make new friends, love the playscapes and activities, and adore all the chickens, donkeys, deer, birds, etc...Ofcourse, there's the river. I can't imagine a better spot on the Guadalupe River. There's a super nice landing to enjoy a deeper part of the river. It's beautiful and an awesome spot for swimming.I will note that some older reviews on Waltonia didn't care for how rustic and outdated the cabins were. While we've never had any issues with that aspect and always found it charming here, they have done an amazing job at upgrading everything here. New playscapes and water activities, new beds, furniture, kitchen appliances and utensils, etc. I cannot recommend this place enough!
