About this property

New! 3300sqft SINGLE STORY! LAKEFRONT Home!! Dock/kayaks/ping-pong/foosball!

A TRUE LAKE HOME like no other!

Just 10–15 minutes from downtown New Braunfels and the famous Schlitterbahn water park, this beautiful 3,300 sq ft single-story lakefront retreat comfortably sleeps 14 guests — all in real beds (no futons or pullouts here!). With 4 spacious bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, plus a refreshing outdoor shower, the home sits directly on the Lake Dunlap section of the spring-fed Guadalupe River.

Quick Highlights:
Nearly 140 feet of prime waterfront

Single-story layout with 2 primary suites on opposite ends

Private gated entry

1500+ sq ft of covered outdoor living space

Docks, patios, and lush lawn

Stunning 70-ft Cypress trees offering both shade and lakefront charm

The location puts you near all the action — Schlitterbahn, the Comal River, Wurstfest, Gruene Hall, Whitewater Amphitheater, and more — but many guests never leave once they arrive at Opas Haus, thanks to its private, relaxing atmosphere.

Inside, you’ll find plenty of room for everyone to spread out and enjoy. The home features two primary suites, two secondary bedrooms, three full bathrooms, two dining areas, two living spaces, and a huge open kitchen with serene lake views. Tall ceilings (10'+ throughout) and wide-open spaces mean nobody feels cramped — just comfortable.

Feeling adventurous? Take out one of the provided kayaks (2 adult, 1 double, 2 kids), a canoe, or one of the 2 stand-up paddleboards. Float the day away on the inflatable island or enjoy the easy water access via stairs for swimming and lounging. Of course, there's always the classic lake move — a good ol’ jump right in!

Back on dry land, enjoy:

Ping pong table

Foosball table

Board games & puzzles

Outdoor lounge seating

Gas grill

Fire pit under the Cypress trees

A lakeside bar for your evening cocktails

Lawn games, life vests, floats, and more!

Two large dining tables (each seating 8), additional bar stools at the kitchen island, and multiple living areas make this home perfect for gathering, eating, playing, and relaxing.

When you’re ready to explore, you're just minutes from restaurants, shops, and grocery stores of charming New Braunfels — and just 20-60 minutes from hot spots like Gruene, San Marcos (outlets!), Wimberley, San Antonio’s River Walk, and even Austin.

Come experience lake life at Opas Haus — where comfort, space, and unforgettable memories await.

Peaceful location

Great location for water activities yet close to many must sees in New Braunfels without the hustle and bustle of people. Very peaceful place at sunrise and sunset. Our family and friends are already planning another trip.

Our family group included folks from 14-82 and there was something for everyone! We appreciated plenty of clean, comfy beds, a kitchen large enough for our meal spreads and however many cooks wanted to be in the kitchen even though the Blackstone outside was our favorite. The lake was lovely but a little busy (as one should expect on a lovely fall weekend) but not so busy that our big ol group could enjoy swimming and water play. This little lake has a couple of lovely coves to be explored and we did so using the provided kayaks, paddle boards and canoe. By the end of the weekend, our group had taken a vote and decided this should be our annual spot. Thank you, Gaby and Chad!

Big Beautiful River House

Our entire family of 10 stayed here for Texas State graduation. Perfect location just outside of New Braunfels to get away from the city bustle. Quiet neighborhood and beautiful river frontage. Free entertainment just watching the boats off the huge back porch. Lots of family friendly games and activities. Hosts were communicative and responded to questions immediately. We are going back again next year for another graduation. We can’t wait to stay here again.

Girls weekend

Great house for a great girls weekend. We had 8 adults- everyone had a comfy bed, plenty of space to spread out. Great kitchen area for everyone to be working in with a huge island. We enjoyed the large covered patio with plenty of seating. The proximity to the water is perfect- just a very short walk to get in and float. Short drive into NB was a bonus too. Chad and Gaby responded quickly to any questions we had. I definitely would recommend Opas Haus and we would love to come back!

Would absolutely book again!

House was nice and big. Master bedroom was on the other side of the house from other bedrooms, which we liked. Big ole kitchen with room for several people to prepare meals. Not far from grocery stores (Walmart) and restaurants. Outside was nice. We sat around and visited at night… somehow they had no mosquitos!! Will happily recommend to all my friends and family! Communication with owners was awesome.

Better than the Best

This amazing house will up the fun level of your escape! There are tons of comfortable places to gather. We considered doing a triathalon with corn hole, ping pong and kayak races. But we are age enriched so we just sat around and ate and gabbed. The beds are very comfortable. The air conditioning works great even when it’s 103 outside. Lots of kitchen supplies. (Bring tin foil and ziplocks - we had a lot of left overs.)

Great place for a large group

We enjoyed ourselves quite a lot. The space was good with enough amenities to cook meals there for our group. The patio was amazing, right on the water. Most of everything was comfortable, but there were a few things that probably need to be updated. The Queen bed in the secondary bedroom with ensuite bathroom has a pretty big dip in the center, making it uncomfortable to sleep in. Another of the bedrooms has a bed missing a headboard, which causes the bed to slide around a bit at night. Other than those issues, the place was great! Excellent communication with owners.

If you’re looking for a large beautiful lake home with lots of activities for the whole family this is it! Aside from it being right on the water, it’s also conveniently located not too far from Gruene! The water is a great level and we felt very safe with our young kids swimming near the dock, the dock has stairs which are a bonus! The kayaks, canoe, and water toys make this place worth every penny. There’s lots to do outside and inside, plenty of seating, amazing views, and the kitchen is fully stocked with lots of cooking supplies! Overall we would definitely bring our family back and the hosts are top notch.

Fun Easter weekend!

We enjoyed our stay so much. It is such a beautiful and comfortable place. We had 8 adults and 2 kids and there was plenty of room for us to hang around and be comfortable. We LOVED the outside and being on the water. They have great outdoor activities that work for all ages. We had a blast and will definitely go back.

Family vacay

I booked this stay for a weekend family vacation for 10 of us. The house was very spacious, had plenty of supplies needed for cooking, and lots of activities for the outdoor area. We spent most of our time enjoying the lake, roasting s'more's by the fire pit, and grilling on the patio. The cons of the stay would be the cleanliness of the home and outdoor area. There were cobwebs in the house, all over the patio furniture and door ways. The backyard area has huge potential if it was upkept better- a tree covered in cobwebs, poison ivy by the shed, and yellowjacket nests on the covered boat dock. This stay has great potential and hope this feedback helps.
