Great house, great host, great location

The house was fantastically updated and clean. The location was terrific; close to amazing restaurants, bars and freeways for easy commuting access. Melissa, the host, was easy to communicate with and made herself readily available to help. My family of 5 thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Oh, and the backyard, such a cool spot to hang. Wouldn’t have changed a thing.

A Real Gem

This is 5 stars by every metric. The house measures up to every pretty picture you see. One of our daughters lives in New Braunfels and she was able to show us great things within walking distance of the house. And so many other attractions are a very short drive. My wife and two other adult daughters who came with us from Katy were ooh, ahh, as soon as we walked in. Cozy and well stocked with all the amenities, while keeping a historical charm. Highly recommended.

Beautiful, well cared for home. It lacks for nothing. Literally, everything is at your fingertips. The homeowner has great taste. You feel instantly welcomed the second you walk through the door. I don't remember if it was mentioned by other guests but there is a bar behind the home that plays loud music late into the evenings. If you can't beat them, maybe you can try joining 'em.

Will be staying again!!

The cutest Vrbo I’ve ever stayed at! The host thought of everything—from snacks to all the little details you might need during your stay. The house was spotless, in a perfect location, and truly felt like a home away from home. On top of that, the host was so thoughtful and even let us know about a nearby estate sale, which was such a fun addition to our trip. I can’t say enough good things about this place and the overall experience!

Very Charming Place

First, the property was as neat as a pin. It was VERY clean and well appointed. The house has been updated but all of the old doors, trim, and hardware has been left intact. The beds were very comfortable and the decor is very well done. I want to buy this house!! All the workmanship is top notch. The old floors barely make a squeak! I thought it was going to be a bit noisy with the train tracks so close and the restaurant behind the house hosts a live band but the music stopped at 10:00 on the dot and the train was all but unnoticeable. I really like the pull-through driveway (we attended a vendor market in Gruene and had our trailer with us). The gates for the driveway are a little wonky but I’m just being a bit picky. What a neat house and comfortable place to relax in where there are so many things to do within walking distance. I’m serious…I’d love to own this charming little house! Thank you for an awesome weekend.

Nice little place in the perfect spot

This house was perfect for our stay. Great location that had small neighborhood feel but close to everything we needed/wanted. Sitting on the back patio at night and listening to the live bands from the restaurant behind us was the cherry on top.

This house could not be any cuter! It had the perfect setup and they literally thought of everything! We really enjoyed the backyard area and playing the games.

Birthday getaway

Everything about this house was perfect. My family and I took a road trip to New Braunfels for my birthday and stayed at this property. Communication with property manager was quick and friendly and my family could not stop commenting on how perfect everything was. The property has plenty of parking space and an excellent outdoor setup with bbq grill and seating area. The home furnishings and amenities made us all feel right at home. I would definitely come back and recommend without reservations.

About the host

Hosted by Melissa

Host profile image
I'm a New Braunfels native with a background in historical renovation and interior design. I love historic homes and the stories they have to tell.

Why they chose this property

This home had undergone many "builder-grade" updates throughout the decades that had stripped the historic uniqueness and qualities from both the interior and exterior. My goal for all my homes is to make them function for today's way of life, while preserving the historic elements that set them apart from the current streamlined designs often found in communities today.

What makes this property unique

We are only the fifth owner of this adorable Craftsman and look forward to celebrating its 100 year anniversary in 2025.
