We rented this house with our friends to visit with our college kids for family weekend at TXST. It was a great location to get where we needed to go. The house was better than the pictures, and we loved it. Will definitely stay again.

Place was great, felt like I walked into my own home. Clean but lived in so I could relax. The outdoor space made for amazing dinner picnics and the location made for an easy trip to the water park each morning and out of the way enough that it felt secluded! The farm fresh eggs and massive strudel were a nice touch.

Not only was this house cozy and clean, but the location was perfect! Perfect distance to Gruene, downtown New Braunsfuls and Canyon Lake. Perfect for two couples as two bedrooms had in suite updated bathrooms. Back porch was adorable and we enjoyed watching for wildlife while sipping our coffee. Wish we weren’t so busy so we could have spent more time enjoying the house. Highly recommend!

This house was perfect for our Memorial Day weekend friends trip!! The house was beautiful inside and out and very well kept. So many things we loved about this house starting with the 3 bed 3 bath. The backyard was amazing such a great atmosphere, if we would have brought our kids it was a very kid friendly home! The kitchen and living room were the perfect size with lots of space. Vicki was absolutely so welcoming!! She responded quickly and answered all of our questions and very accommodating!! We would love to stay here again!!

Thank you so much for the great review!
I am so glad you had a great time during your stay at my house. I appreciate you as my first renters and hope that you do come back to stay at my home again.
We stayed here for a week and had such a wonderful time. Gruene is very close and such a cute little historic town with shopping and restaurants. The house was very comfortable and clean. We sat on the back porch after long days of sightseeing which was so relaxing. Vicki was so helpful to my questions and responded right away. We loved the basket of local goodies, wine and fresh eggs too. Very happy we chose to stay here.
We had a great stay. The house is clean and comfortable and very spacious. The owner provided some added touches that made our stay even better. Highly recommend this house if you’d like to enjoy New Braunfels and also have a quiet place to escape in the evenings and enjoy more of a cabin in the woods experience.

The house is very hot and the beds are uncomfortable
We get there and see cameras all around the house, walk in see a not that says please don't put the air conditioner below 74 to me that is weird to tell your guess that are paying to stay there what they can't put the temperature on but ok whatever. The things was we kept it on 74 but the house was so hot that the temperature was 83 inside the house. We stayed in the middle of July and we had to go outside to cool off. I text the owner and she said there was nothing they can do about it until after we left. The owner said she would reimburses some money back but here it is two weeks later and I haven't seen a reimbursement. The house was cleaning and nice set up but the cameras need to go , you feel weird like someone is watching you, the beds are uncomfortable you feel like you are digging out of the hole from the middle of the bed at night and they need a bigger air conditioner unit that works 83 is to hot.

The AC was upgraded on 8/18/21 with an additional unit. Cameras on the property are external facing only and for the security and protection of guests and property.
The place fit our needs tremendously! Many bathrooms and many towels and she even provided eggs for our breakfast and champagne and chocolate ! So thoughtful! She was celebrating with us !!!!!! Loved the place ! She was definitely accommodating for our group !!!

This home is a special place full of cherished memories of 4 generations of family. My hope is that your visit here will hold great memories with your family & friends too.
Why they chose this property
This property is situated on 1 1/2 acres. Your in the country, but close to the fun little town of Gruene.
What makes this property unique
The sights & sounds of the Texas Hill Country welcomes plenty of wildlife sightseeing. You'll enjoy the morning roll call from Rowdy the Schlichting Haus rooster, and his friends in our outdoor chicken coop. Along with whitetail deer grazing in the back acre as you enjoy the outdoor patio.
The spacious yard is fenced, and one side of the fence is an original stacked rock wall unique to this area & this special place I call home.
