About the host
Hosted by Marie West
Our family originally purchased this property with the intention of making it our home. But after experiencing the beauty and serenity of this 40-acre oak grove, we knew it was something too special to keep to ourselves. That’s why we decided to share it with others as a place to relax, reconnect, and make lasting memories.
Hotel California now serves as a seasonal vacation rental, offering a peaceful retreat for families and friends. In the summer, we welcome guests visiting the river, exploring the Hill Country, or gathering for family reunions. In the winter, many families enjoy spending their Christmas vacation here — while we don’t decorate for the holidays, the natural charm of the home offers a festive and cozy atmosphere on its own.
In the spring and fall, the property becomes a romantic backdrop for weddings and special events. If you're interested in hosting a wedding or event here, please reach out directly to our event partner: La Dolce Vita Estates in New Braunfels.
Whether you’ve traveled from afar or are enjoying a staycation close to home, thank you for choosing Hotel California. We hope you fall in love with it just as we did.
