Wedding Weekend

We used all 7 of the bedrooms with family and friends for our son's wedding weekend - we even used the Pavilion for the Rehearsal Dinner. The house was large and spacious There was plenty of room for everyone to have space and not be crowded. Everything was clean and tidy when we arrived and the door code given to us was easy to remember (genius!). We had a great time and will keep this place in mind for future large group needs. Thanks for helping us have a memorable wedding weekend!

Family Fun

This property was perfect for our family Christmas trip! The accommodations allowed our family of 10 to be together under one roof. The party barn out back was a blast. Our teens and preteens loved it. They had plenty of entertainment. The house was well organized with everything we needed. Check in and out was easy.We will book this property again.

Wedding Group

First, the house curb appeal is gorgeous. Second, the three bedrooms downstairs (could sleep 10) was great for those over (70). The kids (cousins) enjoyed the rooms with twin beds upstairs. Our group was 14. Third, Kitchen was very workable with everything we needed. Fourth, enough room for adults to gather in living area to enjoy Saturday’s college football games on the large TV. Fifth, the game barn!! The game barn was such a great place for the group to enjoy playing the games together. Sixth, parking was a small challenge if several vehicles, but worked for us 6 vehicles. Seventh, Bathrooms were perfect for all 14 of us to get ready to attended a family wedding less than 2 miles away, location was perfect. Eight, schlitterbaun next door was closed for the season but such a great location to enjoy from this home. Ninth, the home is beautiful you’d never know it’s 100 years old, upgrades are perfect, with decor touches from the history of the home. Something to be treasured and honored. Great place and location.

Fantastic property

Our family of 16 stayed at this house… we had family ages 2 to 72 & EVERYONE loved it! First house we stayed in as a family that no one complained! The kids had a blast in the game room and the parents were able to spread out in all the rooms without feeling cramped! Great place and hope to book again!

The perfect retreat for a large group

I was blown away by this place! It was so clean and had all the amenities we needed while we were there. My son got married at the County Courthouse and so we rented this home for our small group to be able to stay together. The party barn in the back was the perfect place for us to celebrate! Everyone had their own space and bathroom. There are so many games and tables there for everyone to play. It is so close, walking distance to so many attractions. If you are planning a group get together in New Braunfels, this is the place to go. We plan on getting back here as soon as we can! We won’t stay anywhere else. Highly recommend!

Don't make plans to leave the house

You might think you are going to go and do all sorts of activites all around the area, but you will feel so comfortable and have so much fun in the bar you will not want to leave. The kitchen is well stocked, plenty of bathrooms and hot water for your group, and the house has a super cool layout. 100 out of 10 stars.

Guys trip

Group of guys rented this house for a guys golf trip. The house was perfect. The beds were great, bathrooms were good, and the kitchen had everything needed for preparing dinner. The party barn was absolutely wonderful, all the games to be played inside with built in sound. Plenty of space outdoors to hold a corn hole tourney. We will be back!

Celebrating our brother’s birthday in style

Can’t say enough great things about the Carriage House AND River City Hosting. The willingness to answer question after question before and during booking was greatly appreciated. Melissa was eager to answer questions prior to booking and to accommodate reasonable requests after booking. Susan, the hospitality manager, was so sweet and flexible. Check in was at 4:00 and Susan was going to meet us at the Carriage House and give us a tour and go over all the nuances of taking care of the barn. At the last minute, my brothers and I booked golf at The Bandit and told Susan we would not be able to meet at the House until around 7:30…Susan was so flexible and was able to meet us at that time. When we showed up Susan was cheerful and thorough while showing us the property. That night, we took about a 5 minute walk to the town circle and had a great dinner and visited some popular haunts for a few drinks. The weather was mild so the walk back and forth was easy. The next day about 8-10 of my brother’s college buddies ( we are a bunch of guys in our 50s and 60s) showed up and we spent the entire day and evening in the barn watching football and the Astros. Cooked great burgers on the clean gas grill. We played every game available in the barn. The next morning before check-out we took a 1 minute walk to the cafe at the intersection for a great breakfast. We will be back. Thanks Melissa and Susan for helping make my brother’s 60th a huge success and a ton of fun. Rob S Wimberley, TX.
