This is our fourth annual trip for the New Braunfels area with our four kids (8, 6, 4 and 10 months). First time to stay at this house, and we will totally stay here every time if possible. The house was the perfect size, great location, peaceful, clean, etc. From the moment of opening the door, there was thought and care with a little note, some snacks, soap, etc. I can’t recommend this house enough. The host was very responsive when asked a question.

Family trip

The amazing host was so on top of everything! The communication was top notch. We had our fur babys with us, they are big dogs, and they were ok with that. Our dogs are like our children and very well behaved! We were welcomed with a sweet note on the kitchen counter and treats!!! Yes treats!!! The bedrooms and bathrooms were so clean and it felt like home. It’s a very quiet neighborhood on the outer part of town. We will truly be using this host again next time we come to the area. Thank you so much for making this so simple.

NIce, relaxing spot in the country.

We stayed for an Aggie Ring Dunk celebration since it was close by. The house was clean and the snacks on the counter were a nice touch. My wife got a great picture of the longhorn out back. All in all, a very enjoyable stay.

Best Vrbo We’ve Ever Experienced!

We visited San Antonio to attend a conference, and it was also an opportunity to connect with family and dear friends who live in Texas. The layout of the house was perfect for us. We loved the large master suite. The king bed was quite comfortable. Well-stocked kitchen, clean home, ample games and puzzles, clear communication - these were all things we appreciated about this home and the hosts.

Wonderful Stay

Our time with Kenneth’s property was perfect! He and his family were super accommodating, and made staying with them delightful. Kenneth made sure to check in with us, was very responsive to questions, and was quick to help with anything we needed to include coming out to the property to help us with some pests wasps starting a new nest. I would 10/10 recommend staying here, and my family will be back in the future!
