We loved this property and would stay again. The yard and river front views were amazing. The house had everything we needed and then some. This is an older home but is decorated really cute and was clean. The owner gave the access code well in advance and checked to make sure we got in ok. The only thing we didn't like was that you drive past a lot of mobile homes to get to this property. The houses on the sides of this house were nice though. The balcony off the master bedroom and sun deck were great for drinking your morning coffee and watching the boats go by. It was a super relaxing and peaceful stay and we enjoyed watching the little family of ducks swim by. There is a Doar General close by if you need to grab something you forgot and its pretty close to downtown and Gruene.

VERY Happy.

I want to say thank you. The house was great, Clean, owner very friendly and right on the water. It was quiet where we were, 15 min. drive from the highway I-35. We were able to visit all the different sights. My kids loved jumping in the river. HEB and Walmart were right down the street, easy to get too, and look forward to coming back for another vacation. Thank you again.

River Trip

The location of the house was perfect but the house is in need of a lot of repairs and updating and the pictures are not recent. The house looked clean but there was a lot of dust and residue on everything. Because it needs foundation work done, the doors either don’t close or are very hard to open and close. There is an active construction site next door and they start working early in the morning. We had to clean all of the outside furniture we wanted to sit in before we could use them. One set of bunk beds was super unsteady and the downstairs shower is so small that it can be very hard to shower in it. Also, the sliding doors downstairs are missing half of the blinds so the sun shines right into the room. Overall, my family and I would not stay there again.

Disappointed

I will say that the house is decorated nicely on the inside and the two bedrooms upstairs have nice mattresses. The disappointing part is that the pictures are outdated and very misleading. It shows that you can hang out outside in a beautiful yard with a wonderful sundeck , hammock, yard games and such. The hammock is destroyed and unuseable. You can not go on the sundeck because of the overgrowth and broken furniture and if you did , you wouldn't get a view of the lake like it shows in the pictures. All of the yard games and blow ups were broken and discarded. It seemed like the outside of the property had not had attention in years. We couldn't let our three year old grandson play out there at all. The air conditioner wasn't working right from the moment we got there. It was 83 degrees in the house. The owner was quick to respond and promised us someone would come. It took two days. (half of our trip). The lights in the living room work off a remote that didn't have batteries. It took two days for them to fix that as well. The owner was communicating wonderfully with me and quickly . He even mentioned how sorry he was about the air and that he would work with me on some sort of refund. I have tried to reach the owner now that we have been home for several days and you guessed it......... crickets.

Unacceptable conditions.

Would not recommend booking here. After receiving the address, we went to see the property from the water. The property was not as shown in the pictures. The lawn is now just weeds, and hasn’t been kept up with. The bulkhead has sunken into the ground. The boat lift had a broken bunk, so it was unusable. The other dock is also sinking, causing the deck to be crooked and very unsafe. After seeing the house from the water, we reached out to the owner and attempted to cancel our booking and get some sort of refund. The owner said he attempted to contact Vrbo and didn’t hear back from them. The house itself isn’t too far off from the pictures. However, the house is also sinking, causing the floor to be sloping downward consistently from the front of the house to the back. We also noticed a hole in the ceiling near the kitchen with some water damage around it, and after getting a decent amount of rain there was a puddle of water going all the way down the hallway almost to the master bedroom. We tried to do dishes but there was no dish soap in the house, nor was there any sort of sponge or brush. We attempted to use the dishwasher, but it was full of rancid smelling nasty water. The downstairs shower also filled up about 4 inches of sewer water after flushing the toilet. We then found a large puddle under the bunk beds. Trash cans were full and smelled awful. We contacted the owner about the issues and was told they were busy and unable to assist. Overall gross and unsafe.

Response from VrboOwner on 18 June 2024
The guest wanted to cancel prior to checking in but VRBO policies did not allow to cancel the day prior to checking in with a full refund. After that the guest was frustrated and became difficult to work with. Almost every other guest loves the yard and the lake. The guest did stop up a toilet but we have not charged them to unclog it. There was an unfortunate leak during a major storm that we quickly got a roofing company to repair. We try to make sure every guest is satisfied but very quickly we realized this was going to be a difficult situation. We feel a 1 star review is retaliation because they could not get a full refund.

The location, beautiful views, spacious layout, comfortable beds, and working A/C were all excellent and made for an enjoyable stay.Unfortunately, the property is in need of maintenance. The biggest concern was black mold on the kitchen ceiling, along with a hole that appeared to be caused by water damage. Since we had guests with respiratory issues, this was a serious health concern.The outdoor areas also need attention. There were ants throughout the property, especially on the upper boat deck. The deck had loose boards, exposed nails, and holes, making it feel unsafe. The water toys appeared to have been left outside for a long time and were piled on the back deck, making us hesitant to use them.The downstairs bedroom/game room felt more like a storage room, with an electric lawn mower and other items stored behind the bar. The spiral staircase leading downstairs is extremely narrow and difficult to use, especially when carrying luggage. We found it much easier to access the room from the outside balcony.We also had issues with the kitchen lighting. The owner was responsive and attempted to fix it, which we appreciated, but we still had to use an extra lamp.Overall, this property has great potential thanks to its location, views, and comfortable sleeping arrangements. However, it would greatly benefit from regular maintenance, better organization, and attention to the health and safety concerns before we would consider staying again.

Mini Vacay in New Braunfels

It was my first time using Vrbo for a family get away. Scanning through the many pictures, window shopping for the right vacation spot was not as challenging as it has been in the past. After finding our Vrbo and arriving at the place was a breeze and a great experience that I’ll definitely choose again for a family vacation.

Great spot for fishing, kayaking, relaxing.

The host was on top of it. He was very fast with answering any questions and gave a few fishing tips. We got lucky and caught a 6lb largemouth bass. The house is located in a great spot. It has a great view of the running river. Huge yard for the kids to play, a fire pit for smores, large trees for a hammock. We did two local kayak trips. The first one we dropped off under the 35 instate bridge. You have to paddle most of the trip, but it gives you plenty of time to see different houses, birds and turtles. There is one small section with some rapids. 2.5 hours later we recovered at the house. The second trip we launched from house and paddled around to the Schuman's beach boat ramp. One small rapid section. 1.5 hours (FYI, $5 per kayak to recover or launch). Our kids loved the Christmas tree with the gifs and the Rumba cleaning the floor. If we had more time I'd fish on the kayak, the fish were jumping out the water all over the place.

A beautiful slice of heaven

This riverfront property is beautifully updated! The shallow river entry allowed is to sit in the water under a pop-up while the kids swam and tubed. Just a bit down the river there was incredible fishing! We caught large mouth bass, catfish, blue gill and perch. The house was fully stocked with anything you could possibly think of for cooking, sleeping, playing in the water or chilling inside. The property owner was incredibly helpful and immediately available for any questions. We LOVED this location! It made for an amazing vacation!

Best Thanksgiving weekend ever.

We gathered 20 family members over the Thanksgiving weekend and everyone had a fantastic time. Just the atmosphere from the 2nd story deck was enough for most. The fishing was great! The grandkids caught numerous catfish and perch. We played volleyball and other games in the spacious backyard by day and gathered around the outdoor firepit by night. Property had plenty of comfortable beds and all the accommodations we needed. We had 12 people stay here overnight for 3 nights but it could have easily accommodated 2-4 more. We hope to do this again.
