Lovely visit
We enjoyed our time here. The walk to the river was 5 minutes & not for the faint of heart. River was low but still nice to sit by.

We had a great time, but wish the river had been much closer. It's way too far and steep of a walk for people with children or with disabilities. I wouldn't consider this property to be "riverfront" by any means.

Quiet getaway
This property was unique and secluded, which is what we were looking for. Was very relaxing, spacious and peaceful. Furnishings were clean and comfortable and kitchen had everything we needed. The views and outdoor spaces were very nice. The river was low when we visited, but that is a risk you take; at least the fish were biting!

Great Quiet Experience
The Dome was a nice quiet getaway. Loved reading on the porch. Home was clean and had everything we needed to cook. We did bring wood for firepit. It was a bit of a walk to the river but the field was beautiful and nice to walk through. We didnt go down much due to the climb back up. Easy but uphill with bad knees.

Amazing place!!!!
Our stay was so wonderful. My son moved to San Marcos to go to college and we stayed here when we moved him in to make a fun family vacation out of it. This is where I want to stay every time we visit him! First of all, it’s a dome house, which everyone thought was super cool. And super roomy with plenty of room for my family of 5. There was a beautiful outdoor area and you can walk down to the river. And the stars - oh my goodness!!! I still think about it. We brought our dog and could just walk outside with him and let him run. It was on several acres with lots of trees and was so secluded, quiet and peaceful . And the beds were so comfortable. I highly recommend the Dome Home as we called it, and can’t wait to stay there again!!!

Dirty, Dingy, Roaches - Would NOT recommend
I would like to start by saying I have stayed at this exact property before, about six years ago. Not sure if management changed or got lazy, but our second experience was a nightmare. There is an active infestation of German Cockroaches in the home. We found roaches all over the kitchen, AND in the bedrooms. One had even crawled into a pack and play where an infant was sleeping!! If that wasn't disgusting enough, there was what looked like a blood stain in the laundry room. A simple wipe with a wet paper towel started to lift the stain so it was obvious that the space had simply not been cleaned. We peeked under the couch and it was again obvious that no one had professionally cleaned in months. There was also one garbage bag and one paper towel roll provided. A small complaint I would have looked over, if there weren't so many other things completely wrong, including the fact that the outdoor garbage cans were already overflowing with trash. I would have loved to contact management and complain about these issues; however, there is NO cell service AND NO WIFI on the property. Thankfully, I took many photos to document every issue. Overall, I regret coming back to this place and will not be staying at any other properties managed by Hill Country Premiere Lodging.

German cockroaches
The countertops and table were sticky and covered in food. We had to wipe everything down as soon as we got there as well as sweep. The listing stated there were double beds, there were none. Only 2 kings beds and a bunch of single beds. Not ok for 3 couples. The house was infested with german cockroaches. All of our belongings are now tied up in black trash bags outside as to not infest our house as well. We were only given one and a half extra rolls of toilet paper for 7 people as well as only 1 extra trash bag. Due to the intense amount of cockroach activity, the lack of toilet paper, and the level of the river, which we were told before booking was full (it was not), we all decided to leave a day early. A refund for a night and the cleaning fee would be much appreciated since we couldn’t stay and had to clean upon arrival.

Patios everywhere
Spacious house and nice outside areas for entertaining. The fire pit is great for making smores and the lower patio has amazing views. River access is a little walk but once you're at the water there is another patio area perfect for getting ready to float or just relax and fish. With 4 kids and 4 adults the house had plenty of room without feeling cramped. We will definitely be back!

Scorpion Surprise
The dome is more like a cabin from the sixties, and it feels like it's stuck in the nineties. Overall, things were clean, but it was stale inside. The place is worn down. It has a peat problem with German roaches everywhere. The river has a long walk down. Driving to the river is hard because of the tight turns. The biggest problem was the scorpions... 4 in one day is excessive, especially with an infant. This house wasn’t very child friendly. Overall, the threat of scorpions in the house cause me to flee the house after one night. There was no credit or refund. Do not book if you have small children.

Beautiful and secluded property and river. The access to river and with the rock landing was great. The depth of water was a pleasant surprise considering the drought in Texas. The house was nice and comfortable, the kitchen had every thing we needed and the bedrooms were nice and spacious.

Cute Dome House!
The house is super cute and fun. It could have been cleaner. The trash can was extremely dirty and some bugs in the kitchen. The upstairs isn’t completely “ceiling-ed” in so you can hear all conversations due to the shape. :) Coffee on the patio with a view in the mornings was a great way to start the day. The stone dock down by the river was the best part. Our stay was during the record heatwave so we had to drive down to it. If you visit in better weather it would be walkable. Pretty and peaceful. Overall it’s a fine place to stay to float the river in New Braunfels.

Fine but dingy
Not worth the cost. First issue is no wifi. I’m sure it’s probably in the description, but I didn’t even think to look for that, because who doesn’t have wifi? Without cell service or wifi, there was no way to contact the property management. Although it had the astringent burning cleaner smell when you walked in, the floors were dirty, the incredibly uncomfortable couch still had pet hair on it and a funky smell, the bed linens were musty smelling, and half the dishes we tried to use still had food on them because the dish washer soap dispenser door doesn’t open when it runs. The patio is nice, but don’t expect peace and quiet, since there’s a neighboring sports complex, and their noise travels very well up the river valley and into your patio time. River access is also fine, but the river itself is only a couple feet deep and unshaded, so only enjoyable in the evening in summer. I promise I wasn’t looking for things to complain about, I was just unpleasantly surprised at how overall dingy and unsatisfactory the place was. Would not recommend.

Great location on the Blanco River!
The outside property was excellent. The house was decent but definitely needed some attention. Read the reviews on this prior to booking so you know what to expect. The property is amazing if you love being outdoors! Great rental for large groups wanting a good price for river access.

Gorgeous property
The property was clean and comfortable. The stone patio overlooking the ridge outside was an AMAZING spot for morning coffee and conversation—one of my favorite parts of our trip. We took 2 kids and 2 dogs and they all loved it. The water was super cold in March but they were unfazed and had a great time playing in the water. Highly recommended and we would definitely come back.

Roaches but beautiful land
The property is beautiful. The views are amazing, the river is lovely. The beds are comfortable & kitchen is fully stocked. The house has water damage that’s been kind of repaired. There were roaches everywhere…dishwasher was disgusting, a bottle of Raid greeted us at the door, roaches lived in oven, had to clean fridge of dead bugs & feces, didn’t keep any food out, threw everything out when we left, used our own clean towels & sheets. I told the management company and was told this was the first they heard of this, which is surprising since there were so many (& the Raid). This is not something they could fix while we were there (it takes time to get rid of roaches & we didn’t want someone spraying poison where our kids & dogs were.) The management company has many reviews regarding lack of cleanliness of their properties, but we came prepared to clean if necessary because we aren’t very picky. There were moths and spiders, which don’t really bother us as we are in the country, however, it was clear they had a roach infestation. We go for the outdoors, not the indoors. Again, the land is beautiful and it is so sad that the home is infested.

the property was great, it was quiet and secluded. it was a bit hard to find since the gps wasnt super accurate. i thought it said on the website but maybe i didnt read it, it does not have wifi, wich isnt a big issue but can be for some (you still have pretty good phone reception). they have several grills and firewood and beautiful patios to lounge on. the stars are very bright b.c there is no light pollution so its awesome to sit outside (just be sure to bring a flashlight). house was pretty spacious, (walls are a bit thin) but thats no big deal. cute little rustic house, will definitely come again.

AMAZING!!!
Everything was amazing. The house was a lot bigger than what it looks. Beds were supper comfortable. The veiw went perfect with our morning coffee. Loved the porch, and fire pit at night was perfect. The river was amazing we did walk down the first time, it was very steep but we made it. The seating are by the water was great. My only complaint is mabe adding a rail to walk down the steps to the water. This location was amazing, very cleam. Check in and check out was super simple. I would definitely be booking this place again in the future.
