Peaceful Hideaway

This lovely house on the Comal river is a perfect place for a getaway to the Texas Hill Country. Close to downtown New Braunfels with access to tubing and boating right out the back door. The house was very well equipped including the kitchen - it was easy to make yourself at home. We had a wonderful stay!

Winter in New Braunfels

My wife and I had an excellent time during our stay! Loved having the river out our back door, and the quiet of the neighborhood. Nearly all of downtown was within a mile of our location! Owner went above and beyond to insure we were comfortable! Highly recommend!

This house was wonderful, right off the river and a beautiful scenery. The landlord was very nice, helpful and a pleasure to work with. The house was really nice and had everything you would need for your stay and was in a great location. If I every visit this area again I would love to stay at this house.

Great location!

This home is in the perfect spot. You get the fun of the Comal without the crowds. The river exit is a few houses up, so it's the perfect calm spot for families with young kiddos! Lots of river jumping and hanging out. Fun wildlife. Great!

Thank you for your kind words Kellie. I'm so glad you enjoyed the house and location. Yep, it doesn't get better than walking to your own backyard for a swim or walk to town for all the other activities. I hope that we hear from you again next year! Glad to know that you made it home safely.

Wow! Great property and experience!

We cannot say enough great things about our stay and how wonderful owner Annette Logan was to deal with. The property is in walking distance to restaurants, bakeries and downtown New Braunfels. It is very clean with an excellent floor plan and has everything needed to enjoy the stay. The beds were very comfortable. Outstanding house in all measures! The beautiful Comal is a site to behold and such a great view to wake up to. We have zero complaints or issues. Just the memory of a fabulous spot and fun times. We are already talking about a return stay.

Great location just needs a little tlc

Stayed at this property for 6 weeks. Location is great 5 min -10 min to pretty much everything. Neighborhood is quiet even though you are 100 yds to the water park. The view is spectacular, the whole back of the house are the windows you see in the pictures, does not disappoint. There are tons of beautiful deer and other wildlife. The TLC part comes with a lot of cracked tiles, broken chairs, broken armoire, outdoor furniture needs some help and as others have said a funky layout. We enjoyed our stay just needs a little work

I'm not aware of any broken chairs other than the ones in a closet that were obviously not to be used. The armoire and outdoor furniture referred to as needing TLC were selected to look exactly as they are. This guest took the liberty to spray paint some of the outdoor furniture that had a patina that only decades can provide. The guest also painted our mailbox and its stand too. This was all done without asking. Prior to their arrival I was asked about whether there was a vacuum, a broom and about maid service. All of the above may indicate this guest's priorities and style preferences.

Location, Location, Location

The property couldn't be at a better location. Next to Schlitterbahn and the Comal River in your back yard.. Even better is that its down a side street so, you don't have to deal with the Schlitterbahn traffic. The house is older and appears to have been recently renovated. Clean as a whistle and the kitchen has everything you need to assist with meals. The only item I would change is to move the kitchen to the rear of the house as it's up front away from everything and the outside deck area is at the end of it's life cycle and is a bit awkward as well.. but it really doesn't matter when you have the Comal River in the back yard.. I give it a double thumbs up overall.

Best location for families

You can’t beat this location. We have small children and they had no problem making the easy 10 minute walk to Schlitterbahn which is super helpful because the parking lot gets full fast. It’s also an easy walk to Prince Solms Park to float the Comal River if you have your own tubes. We loved being able to float the Comal and hop out into our own backyard. The hostess was great with communication. Only reason I didn’t give five stars is because the front master bedroom was a lot warmer than the rest of the house making it difficult to sleep, even with the ceiling fan and portable fan on full blast. My husband ended up sleeping on the living room couch since the other beds were occupied by my sons and mother-in-law. We can’t wait to come back when the AC gets fixed/balanced and the front bedroom is cooling better.

The property was well-maintained and clean. Communication with the owner was excellent. I’d recommend the property for those that want to take a dip in the river without having to struggle to get access.

The house was thoughtfully supplied to meet most needs. Annette is a gracious and responsive host. Communication with her was friendly, quick and direct.

Relaxing at the riverhouse

Beautifully decorated riverfront home right off the Comal. Short distance to historic downtown-shopping and dining!! We enjoyed our stay and had everything that we needed!! Annette was the best to work with and very friendly.. The local deer come to hang out in the front yard to forage for food about 5 o'clock in the evening and watching all the different birds out back was mesmerizing! If we ever need a place to stay again in this area...I would book this home!!! ***** 5+

The perfect location! The Perfect house!

We absolutely loved our time staying at this charming river house! It is just past the public toobing exit out so you don’t have thousands of people floating by all day. We floated the river, walked to Schlitterbahn, walked to 5 different restaurants and enjoyed just sitting and watching the river go by. The house perfectly suited my family of 4, everyone got their own room. Kitchen was well appointed, WIFI was quick, TV’s all were great! It’s the greatest place!

Absolutely Relaxing

Our family loved our stay. The owners are more then accommodating for any questions or problems you may have. They gave suggestions on places to go, and areas to float the river. The home was clean, stocked with the necessities a family needs, decorated very well and kept at an very comfortable temperature day and night. The owners go the extra mile to make sure your stay is enjoyable by providing soft luxurious bath towels and bedding. There is plenty of rooms and tv's in each room, so that if you just want to sit and relax you can. I would suggest sitting at the waterside at the end of the day. Very relaxing. The water is clear enough to see fish and little turtles swim by. The neighbors are friendly and the wildlife that visits you daily is amazing. Having a clean, refreshing river out your back door is a major plus. Our stay was more like staying at a family, or good friends home. Will definitely do again.
