River Vacation

The home was able to accommodate our party of ten. Then living room areas are separated by the kitchen which allowed for privacy. The house is furnished with plenty of utensils and cookware but you will need to bring your own seasonings. Overall, the location was centrally located and the house met our basic needs.

Overall OK, but that heat

First, I would like to say that overall our experience was pretty favorable. The top items: -90% of the house was a comfortable temperature. -spacious area for games with fam -guest rooms served well -backyard was spacious as well -grill worked -had river access Opportunities -master bedroom and bathroom were not ventilated well (couldn’t use until corrected) -took two days of back/forth to get action out of management (did supply an AC unit on third day) -floors had not been mopped in a while (horribly dirty feet) -hope you are not the one left to sleep on the sofas

Nice size and clean.

Master bedroom bed is so hard we ended up sleeping on the pull out couch bed. Weirdly it was more comfortable then the actual bed. Trash can in garage still has trash in it from past visitors with diapers in it. (We had no babies). Also trash on dock is completely full. We really couldn’t get into the water because the visitors directly across the street had the access blocked with all their water toys. But all in all we had a great visit. Only real complaint we had was there wasn’t enough seating in the main living room for 7 of us to sit and visit.

Great family vacation

Beautiful home with easy access to the River. Owner even had kayaks and inner tubes for our use. Kayaks were a huge hit with the kids and grandkids. Home has every amenity you will need. Close to restaurants, grocery stores, and other activities.

Sophia C., DALLAS, TEXAS USA

It was okay..

I would have cancelled if I could have. I just don’t think this property should have been worth so much for a 3 night stay. I swept the floor and found a lot of white dog hair. I don’t see what the maids clean, you pretty much clean the place yourself all they have to do is wash everything. They don’t have a dishwasher so be prepared for that. I agree with the post before me that the rooms just weren’t big enough for sleeping 10 people and we had less people than that! The walk across to the river isn’t so bad. If you have children though you might want to accompany them as people drive like it’s a freaking highway on that street! It wasn’t terrible but it wasn’t great either wouldn’t stay here again.

Wonderful time

Overall we had a wonderful time. Didn't realize the property was so close to other properties from the looks of the pictures you couldn't really tell but once we got there the neighbors all kinda came out and welcomed us in right away. The people across the street by the dock were so sweet and knowledgeable and the man next door was very nice and friendly. We would definitely stay again!

Not enough bedroom and lot of pet hair

I have been to New Braunfels several times and stayed in various properties. First the property backside is not facing the River side. Posted Pictures are misleading. There is no fence and pets can run outside. Bedrooms are so small and mattress quality not great. No dishwasher and lot of pet hairs all over the place.

No thanks

Chose this property due to the proximity to the river, wi-fi access, and ability to sleep ten. While I will say the house is very nice and obviously newly renovated, there is just no way you could possibly comfortably sleep ten people. The master was nice and large, but the subsequent rooms were barely larger than a walk in closet. The other two rooms consisted of a bunk bed/dresser in each. While the bottom bunk was full size, there is no way that two normal sized adults / older children could sleep on the bottom. Counting those rooms as 3 person rooms is extremely misleading. The river access was a joke. To say it was a hazard / accident in the making is putting it mildly. There was no way I would allow my child to risk life and limb attempting to access the river via the treacherous path available. Lastly, one of the reasons for choosing the property was wi-fi access due to my work schedule. That lasted one night for a few hours. So, we packed up and left a day early. Definitely a huge disappointment to my kids that looked forward to the getaway for months.

Family Vacation

We stayed at the property for 6 nights. The house itself was well-kept and the AC worked really well. We were comfortable. Things to note: The house listing says it is wheel chair inaccessible but it does not describe the split level and the steep steps from the living area to the kitchen. My in laws are not in wheel chairs but the steps where a challenge. We figured it out, but I would suggest adding a little more detail to the description. We had a relaxing week and enjoyed the area.
