Abbott’s 306 River Outfitters

Its fun try it out. Its not luxury but if your feeling flustered try some of the mustard. Its a party joint

This place is down right terrible. Do not go here for tubing (I can’t speak for the lodge, etc). Long story short:
— Ridiculously expensive (around $ 40 for two people, no cooler tube, and that’s WITH discounts)
— The credit card machine was conveniently broken
— You cannot get tubes without bottoms, and all of them have a giant metal hook sticking out inside the tube
— You will wait for the shuttle forever, walking would’ve taken ¼ the time
— There were no lights in men’s or women’s bathrooms
They did let us go a second time for free, but with this experience that’s not even remotely redeeming.

This WAS the best place to rent a cabin, directly on the river, plenty of tubes for rent, grills for cooking, full service kitchen, but the owner isn’t managing this cabin anymore, her mother is and she is nosy and rude. She went into our cabin when we were not there. She treated us like children and was impossible to work with. We followed all rules and kept the place clean. We didn’t cause disruptions, we are all closer to 30 than 20, so we’ know how to behave. She had three large dogs that ran all over the property and would randomly poop where people were hanging out. The other employees are GREAT, it’s too bad that she is such a central figure in the management of this awesome place.

I called to ask about a Cabin Rental for a weekend and was told that I would have a manager call me back to confirm they had room for us. After waiting about 6 hours I called back and I was told they would call me back shortly. I have not heard back from them and am truly disappointed. I am not sure why the worker could not cell or text his manager as it would be the easy thing to do. We are still planning on going to the area to tube in a few weeks and will not use them.

We stayed at Abbott’s June 2013 and had a blast! If you’re looking for a fancy super clean updated place this is NOT the place for you. In my opinion, this place was perfect for the atmosphere. It has everything you need. It’s RIGHT on the river, the horseshoe at your access! (3, 3 ½ float) with the option to continue on to the rio for another 4 to 5 hours) They pick up. We did both, different days. The price to stay is most reasonable, best price we found! The owner and workers are cool and willing to help with whatever you need.
All in all, PERFECT SPOT FOR YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS! We are definitely going back!

Horrible place. The condo was a wreck when we arrived for our 4 pm check in. The lady ended up staying until 9 pm to clean while we cooked dinner, unpacked and went about our vacation.

Only having one other experience with this type of business I didnt know what good service could be. The staff at Abbotts were friendly (the other service I had used were NOT!) and went out of their way to to be helpful. Pick-​up was prompt without us having to wait in the sun for a long time. I will definitely use them again! Oh and it is a beautiful place to tube!

I’ve gone tubing on the Guadalupe River from numerous starting places this summer and finally decided to give Abbott’s a shot. It’s right on the water so you don’t have to hike a mile in the 100 degree heat before cooling off in the water. We arrived around 4 and found out they closed at 7. The guy working was cool enough to allow us to go even though many people take over 3 hours to ride the river. We actually ended up getting back 20 minutes early, much to his amazement and delight (admittedly we were paddling more than we would have if we arrived earlier). And they have a shuttle that takes you back to your car which is great.
My only reason for not giving the place 5 stars is that it is a few bucks more than some of the other places we’ve gone, plus they don’t have coupons on their site like many of their competitors do. I would definitely go back, but will probably still shop around.

We were recommended this place from a friend of a friend who did not steer us wrong. The driver came and picked us up from our camp for $ 25 for our group of 14. He was very jovial and nice, which you would expect from someone in this business, but he also took all our coolers down to the water for us, and helped load them up as well.
I would definitely use them again next time I ride the river in New Braunfels.

The staff at Abbotts is WONDERFUL! I was staying with friends for the day and lost my ID in the Guadalupe River — not only did the staff recover my poor ID, but they express mailed it to me with a handwritten note. The note said that they hoped the experience of losing my property didn’t sour me on their business — quite to the contrary!!! I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to stay on the Guadalupe and have a great time =)
