Here are our thoughts on this exclusive glamping resort and we’ve even included Geronimo Creek Retreat photos so you can see what you’re getting into.

Where is Geronimo Creek Retreat?

If you’re ever in south Texas and looking for a retreat, the Geronimo Creek Retreat is the perfect place to go. Located near just north of Seguin and southeast of New Braunfels, the Geronimo Creek Retreat is super easy to find.

Take Texas Highway 123 to Laubach Rd and head east around 1.5 miles, and you’re there. Geronimo Creek Retreat has a big sign on the left so you know when you’re there. Again, this is not to be confused with Sons Geronimo which will be on your right. It’s just across the street (although when we saw it Son’s river ranch looks like a great place to stay, but we’ll save that for another time).
