Escape to this enchanting New Braunfels home and experience its rustic beauty.

Take your motorboat a short 10-minute drive to the public boat ramp at Schumann’s Beach. Head into downtown New Braunfels to enjoy a day at the famous Schlitterbahn Waterpark. Or, play a round of golf at the nearby Bandit Golf Club.

After a day of fun or just peacefully lounging in the hammock, tune into a movie marathon on the living area's large TV, or practice your culinary skills in the full kitchen. Whimsical and quaint, you'll never fail to feel at home while inside this sweet abode. Clean your swimsuit from a dip in the lake in the private washer/dryer. And rest your head come nightfall with the central air-conditioning keeping you cool and comfortable.

Excellent Thanksgiving getaway

We had an excellent time away from it all. The cabin was perfect for a quiet and peaceful long weekend.Make sure you read the instructions about the location and getting into the house, because the property manager may take a bit to respond in case you need assistance. Other than this, this house is perfect. We had everything we needed for a great thanksgiving weekend.

Hidden gem at the end of the road

Absolutely loved this place. Plenty of extras to go along. Fully stocked kitchen for cooking. The view was absolutely amazing even though the creek was dry. They clearly stated this in the posting which I liked. The patios are perfect if you are an outdoor person. Overall, I would highly recommend staying here. 10/10 and a very quiet neighborhood if that's what you were looking for

Nice getaway

We were in town for a wedding and needed a place to stay with our dogs. This property is the most dog friendly place that I have ever stayed! And it was very clean!

Amazing property for a weekend of relaxation

The family loved staying here over the weekend. Their attention to detail throughout the home and grounds was impeccable and it was so relaxing. I definitely napped in the hammock listening to the creek flow by. It was a beautiful place to unwind!

Wonderful spot!

This was a perfect place for our long weekend! They had everything we needed, the place was clean, nicely decorated and in a great location. The large deck was perfect for sitting with our dog and relaxing. We loved all of the little touches they had for dogs! Our dog loved the dog beds! We will definitely be booking again next time we stay in the New Braunfels area!

Great hide away. We were very comfortable- even with the winter freeze. I loved the decor. It matched the homes vibe perfectly. We got to watch the deer across the creek every morning and again in late afternoon. Even our dogs enjoyed it.

Marvelous place for humans and fur babies

The decks are wonderful and overlooking the creek. Large one is covered, with fans. House is comfy and spacious. Has everything you need. Dogs loved the yard and explored all over. All in all a great time.

This cabin was just perfect for myself and my Husband and our fur baby! The views are just breathtaking. You can really see the love the owners have for this place. The management team is doing an excellent job at maintaining the property! The cabin was so clean and had everything you could possibly think of! We will be back!!

My Experience at the Creekside Casita

I loved the interior design as well as the owners of the home. We decided to do a staycation because we recently moved and it was closed to the holidays and the lovely owners introduced us to the Creekside Casita. It is an awesome treehouse experience that everyone must experience for themselves to understand what I mean. Thank you again.

Peaceful Place

We loved the cabin and the huge beautiful windows to look out of all day. The decks are nice too with gates to enclose pups or kids. The kitchen is well stocked and the drive into town is easy. The only drawback for us was the extra firm bed on a high platform. Not the best if you’re a side sleeper but we enjoyed our stay and so did our pup Penny.

My Anniversary

I did not have to contact the property manager. Everything was just fine. Except for the problem with the river. My husband missed his favorite hobbie. My baby fur was happy walking in the yard. I was very unstress, resting and enjoying the nature, birds and silence. Too many steps for elderlies. Please consider ramps for humans and pets. Love this house and sure we will return soon.

Great Creekside Getaway

We spent a fantastic long weekend here and enjoyed every minute of it. Normally on little trips like this, we'll pop into town for a bit, but between the fishing and the relaxing setting, we felt absolutely no desire to leave (I nearly pulled the biggest catfish of my life out of the creek!) There's plenty of room to spread out, and the kitchen has all the cooking supplies you'll need. The outdoor area is extremely dog-friendly, very capable of keeping them enclosed, but with enough room to run around. The covered deck overlooking the creek was a wonderful setting to hang out, sip some brews, and watch the birds. And yes, the grill works very well. The owners have clearly put a lot of love into this place, and it shows. Five stars all the way.

Compared to other experiences this one rated below expectations

The property was as advertised. Very clean, quaint and private! We had an issue with the internet and the property managers weren't able to respond quickly so we figured out the issue and resolved on our own. The property said there was a canoe and kayaks for use however when we got there we realized the canoe would need to be carried down several sets of steps and therefore carried back up and it's not a light canoe! We are not spring chickens so we opted against that. This was disappointing since we rented this particular place since it was on the water with access to these activities. One of the bathroom sinks was also clogged so we only used one sink. The bed was excessively firm, which is ok if you like that. I will probably not be revisiting this particular rental.

Not as advertised

No AC and no real solution offered. If you enjoy sleeping in 90-degree heat and spending your days in a sauna, then you will love it here. Not a waterside property. There is no creek. It's a dry creekbed, and the listing needs to be updated to reflect that. Not cleaned well - found blood pressure medicine and old food on the floor - dangerous for pets and children. There were also dead bugs and dust on the floor. The water tastes like dirt. I would recommend bringing bottled water to drink, make coffee, and brush your teeth. the property manger is responsive and nice. I did get a partial reimbursement, but I did not feel it was commensurate with what we endured. This is pretty, and with more attention to detail and an updated listing, the issues could be corrected for future renters.

Great House, Great Location, Lots of Fun!

The Creekside Casita was a great vacation spot. Like the other reviews said the dog friendly location was just Awesome! The home owners have thought of everything when it comes to your four legged friend. They added so many gates and fence that you feel extremely safe with your dog. The location is absolutely great and very private. The front yard is massive with lots of space for the dog to run if they wanted to. The dog beds and bowls were a great added touch. The owners provided everything you need for a vacation. I think within a half day we felt so comfortable like we were staying in our own home. My son caught a bass off the floating dock within 5 minutes of arrival. We had not even gone in the house or unloaded one bag and he caught this bass. Both kids caught a lot of fish from that floating dock. So that activity was just awesome. Having the two kayaks and canoe in the garage was just amazing. We took them out and worked our way to the Guadalupe river which was just amazing. The water felt so great and you get a great workout rowing to the river from Long creek. The outside deck with all the chairs, tables, lighting, and the fans were just wonderful as well. It was hot, but when you turned on the fans they brought the heat down a little and kept the mosquitoes and flies off of you while sitting on the deck. I could just keep going on how wonderful our trip was to Creekside Casita. It was so good to get away from the fast pace of work and all the traffic. We can't wait for another opportunity to stay here again!
