About this property

Country life just minutes from New Braunfels, San Marcos or Seguin.

The Bunkhouse is one of 4 vacation rentals on a 60 acre property of rolling hills on the edge of the Texas Hill Country. The house sits on top of one of the highest hills in the area so from there you have fantastic views of the countryside. Just outside the yard fence cows are grazing. Come sit on the porch swing and enjoy the fresh air and ever-present breezes. Surrounding the house are ancient live oaks which have lived there since before the German immigrants who settled the area arrived in the mid 1800's. And even though you are in the quiet of the country it is only a few minutes to the towns of New Braunfels, Seguin or San Marcos. All three offer visitors a variety of attractions plus many restaurants, shops and recreational opportunities. And in just about 30 to 45 minutes you can drive to San Antonio or Austin and enjoy all that those cities have to offer.
The house has 2 bedrooms each with a queen bed plus there is a queen size sofa sleeper in the living room. The kitchen and living/dining areas provide a nice open space to gather. There is a separate utility room with washer and dryer. On the wrap-around porch are picnic tables, chairs and a porch swing. A charcoal grill is provided. A small fenced yard is a good place for your pets or children to play. But you can also enjoy the ample space outside the yard fence!

Serene
We very much enjoyed our stay at the Bunkhouse. Everything was clean and in good condition. The location is wonderful, quiet and serene. Nice porches to sit and watch the humming birds flitting around in the magnificent areas of wildflowers. Fun to watch the cats and kittens who live in the structure next door. Our dog enjoyed the smells in the little fenced in garden area. Joy was very responsive when we had questions. New Braunfels is just 20 minutes away.

About the host

Hosted by Sherman and Joy Schlichting

Host profile image
This property has been in our family since the mid 1800s when our German ancestors came to Texas seeking a better life. They settled in these hills and grew cotton, various other crops, cattle and kids. Lots of things have changed since then but one thing has not - our love for this place! Joy grew up in The Farmhouse on top of the hill. The Bunkhouse was once a detached garage. We moved The Cabin and Opa's Haus onto the property and restored them. We are now trying to restore the land. We have planted several acres with native grasses and other native species in an attempt to help the land heal from years of use. Our hope is that we will provide a habitat for some species of wildlife that have been driven into near extinction. We also enjoy providing a place where families can spend time together in a quiet space free from the hustle and bustle of city life. So come enjoy the country!
