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 is a lovely place to stay which made for a very enjoyable girl’s trip. We all agreed it was the nicest and cleanest place we had stayed in all our trips together. The host has thought of everything to make you feel like you are home. The house is located close to downtown New Braunfels and several other small towns with great shopping . There is a wide variety of restaurants to eat or if you like to cook there is a beautiful kitchen with everything you need to cook. We would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Melissa, 1900 Houses, LLC

Host profile image
I'm a New Braunfels native with a background in historic renovation and interior design. I believe every historic home has a story to tell, and I enjoy preserving those stories while creating comfortable, thoughtfully designed places for guests to experience and enjoy.

Why they chose this property

The 1925 Castell House offers something that's becoming increasingly rare—a thoughtfully restored historic home that's entirely yours. Instead of a standard vacation rental or a single hotel room, you'll enjoy the privacy of a full home, professionally designed interiors, and a walkable downtown location just steps from New Braunfels' shops, restaurants, cafés, and live music.

What makes this property unique

Built in 1925 and lovingly cared for by only five owners over the past century, this home is part of the story of New Braunfels itself. Our goal has been to preserve its craftsmanship and character while offering guests the opportunity to experience a historic home with all the comforts of today.
