About this property

Walk to River / Big Backyard / New Braunfels

This is THE New Braunfels stay everyone hopes to find. Just steps from the river, this spacious home is built for groups who want easy river days and relaxed nights together. Spend mornings floating, afternoons grilling in the oversized backyard, and evenings around the fire pit swapping stories under the Texas sky. There’s room for everyone to spread out and reconnect, perfect for families, groups, and river weekends. Close to tubing, dining, and all the fun that makes New Braunfels legendary.

This laid-back camp house is designed for easy river days and relaxed nights together. The open floor plan comfortably sleeps up to 14 guests with a king bed, bunk beds, and multiple lounge-to-sleep options, perfect for families and friend groups.

Spend your days paddling the river with the provided canoes, cooling off in the cowboy pool, or relaxing in the hammock. Evenings are best around the fire pit, listening to nature and spotting local wildlife like deer and owls.

Inside, you’ll find fast Wi-Fi, comfortable beds, luxury-grade toiletries, a stocked coffee bar, fridge, and cozy furnishings that make it easy to unplug and reconnect. Free onsite parking included. No pets, no distractions, just a true New Braunfels river escape.
