Big Chief Vacation Properties
Great property, location is excellent, but it's time to invest in new bedding/mattresses. At this price point, a comfortable bed should be provided. Also, kitchen pots/pans ned a big upgrade.Otherwise, a great experience
The house right on the Comal was perfect for our family. We loved the patio overlooking the water and also the close distance to downtown.

Nice place for girls weekend. Didn’t care much for the stairs inside the resident, but everything very nice. We enjoyed sitting on the deck around the fire pit just visiting. Thank you for your hospitality.
Although the weather did not cooperate, the stay was great! The property location is amazing! Safe to say that if we come back to New Braunfels, we’ll look up this property again. Great communication with property manager too!

Rey,
Thanks so much for your review of Haus on the Rapids! We are so sorry to hear the weather wasn't cooperating during your stay but we sincerely hope you come back to give it another shot! Until then...
It was amazing. We are a large family and every year my three sisters and I take a three day river trip with our daughters. We are 35 years old to 71 and like fun but comfort at the same time. This had it all, excellent access, well stocked, clean and easy to arrange.

Thank you so much for your review! We are so glad you and your group had a great time! We hope you come back to vacation with us again in the future!
The outside areas are great-seating right next to the river. Lots of bedrooms and plenty of space for a family. The extra refrigerator isn’t he laundry room was the best surprise. Lots of room for drinks! We had a great time and would love to come back to this house.

Susan, thank you for your review. We know that drinks are a major part of summer getaways so we wanted to provide our guests with extra fridge space! We look forward to the opportunity to host you again!
This beautiful home sits right on the river with a large deck and river access. It is right across from the New Schlitterbahn water park. Very clean and excellent response time and help from owners. Many amenities in the home to make your stay comfortable. Had a wonderful time and hope to be back next summer.

Teresa,
Thanks so much for your review of Haus on the Rapids. We look forward to being able to host you again next summer!
The location was great but the bathrooms were so outdated the shower head was like a sprinkle hard to get hair clean. I don’t think the bathroom has been improved since the 70’s. It was pretty bad. The deck, as well was big but it was dirty and could use a good power wash and cleaning. Spiderwebs and just dingy. Could be so much nicer.
Rating would be 5 stars except for the construction work going on all around starting from 7 am til 7 pm and spiders in the room outside the main haus. We had a pleasant stay convenient for floating on the Comal river
