Family Vacation

Really enjoyed the house. This is the second time we have stayed here. Only complaint is that the BBQ pit did not work. Burners only turned on about 10% of them and we had to cook burgers and dogs inside. Question, I read somewhere that if we booked directly thru you we would save 20%, is that correct. If it is please provide details as to how we go about that and the calendar of the available dates.

High School Buddies Weekend

This house was perfect for a group of 12 guys. Large kitchen with plenty of cookware, plenty of beds, many places to hang out and relax, adequate parking and nice bathrooms. The river frontage is scenic and has easy access. And, of course, you can't beat the location with proximity to Gruene and New Braunfels. We will definitely be back.

Great location

This accommodated a large group. House was clean enough, however, a lot of cobwebs outside on porches and walkways. Would’ve been nice to have a little bit more wood for the fire pit. We were in for a work retreat so definitely more suitable for late spring and summer activities. Right next to the tube pick ups and not too far from Gruene Hall.

Magnificent House and Property!!

I invited 17 of our closest friends to surprise my husband on his birthday. The house was so amazing and he loved the surprise, especially with all our friends! We visited My Lady Bar and went to Gruene Hall to listen to one of his favorite bands. The house is laid out so well that we never felt squashed. I could not imagine a more spectacular property as well. The fire pit area was so relaxing, and we enjoyed two fires in the evenings. We met the owner and she is amazing as well! We will definitely go back to this property, maybe for my birthday this May! We just loved being there! Thank you so much for such a wonderful vacation and birthday celebration!

This is our second time to rent this vacation home and it was another great experience! The process of booking and check-in is very easy. Responses within minutes for any question we had in preparation and during the trip - everyone is very attentive and so accommodating! The house is just perfect for our large crew and we love the river access. It’s a great spot to be able to float, ride the rapids, or sit in the shade. Highly recommend!
