Weekend getaway

The property was perfect for a weekend getaway. Easy access to new braunfels and winery, but far enough away from town to have a quiet night alone.

I can only say, "WOW". My wife and I were only looking for a couple of relaxing days away from home. What we received was certainly not what we signed up for. The VRBO title for this location is "Private, Waterfront Escape". The description of the property couldn't be further from the truth. It started as soon as we pulled off of the highway and onto the property. Upon entering the property you are met with multiple buildings that appear to have been under construction, and then abandoned...YEARS AGO. The roads are gravel and that is ok. However, there are many areas that are being washed out due to the lack of maintenance. The overgrowth and amount of debris along and on top the roads is unbelievable. Upon arrival at the home we discovered a shattered picture window, what appears to be human feces along with a dirt ring around the tub, worn and tattered bar stools and pantry doors that are swollen to the point of delamination from an AC leak. Outside of the "house" is overgrown and appears unmowed and unkept. We made the decision to stay elsewhere immediately. I contacted the listing agent via the app, but did not hear back until the following morning. "Jacob" had an excuse for every issue. He continued to say the "ranch is currently under active construction". There are no crews working and there is no sign anyone has built on the site in a very long time. Most of the buildings are in different stages of dilapidation and disrepair VERY DISAPPOINTING to say the least.

Cute Cabin Getaway

We enjoyed our stay August 17-19. The cabin was cute and great for 6 guests. The a/c kept up decently with temperatures over 100 degrees. The only complaint was lack of hot water in the master bathroom. We would stay here again.

Modern Tranquility

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cabin! The modern and stylish furniture, along with the thoughtful amenities, made it feel like a true home away from home. It was incredibly quiet and peaceful—just what we needed for a relaxing getaway. Although it was our first time at this particular cabin, we’ve stayed at the one next door before, and once again, Jacob was an exceptional host. His hospitality and communication were top-notch throughout our stay. We created some amazing family memories here and are already looking forward to our next trip!

Nice house and location

We enjoyed our stay at this beautifully furnished home. It was clean and plenty of space for us. The resort is not finished but I’m sure it will be lovely when it is. Jacob was attentive to our needs and came out to help us when we got locked out of the house. Overall a good weekend.

Very nice house

We loved the house and enjoyed the stay. We had an issue with the water when we got there but the management team fixed it asap. They did a great job. The property is still in the construction phase. We did not mind that but some might. All around it was a good stay.

House is exactly as shown, fairly new, nice, clean. The overall property neighborhood is not what we thought, most of the houses are abandoned, some appear to be in current renovation, but many are completely abandoned . Roads are really bad, I would consider this if you have a sedan that is lower to the ground. My Toyota Camry bottoms out on in some places. Property manager seems to be very attentive, though I did not have to call for anything as we did not have any problems with the house.

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in
We booked this Hill Country property because I grew up visiting the area and love it. The photos made it look beautiful, but our experience didn’t match.Our arrival started poorly. The owner sent us our unique check in code to unlock the door, but the code didn’t work, leaving us locked out in 100 heat for 45 minutes with two small children while trying to reach him.Inside, we discovered no functioning hot water. The owner asked us to check his propane tank but never fixed it, leaving only lukewarm water all weekend—barely enough to bathe our kids, certainly not for normal showers or dishes.Cleanliness was disappointing: spiderwebs on multiple surfaces, no towels in bathrooms (only damp ones left in the dryer), and dirty cookware with dried food. It’s clear the property isn’t being properly maintained.The amenities and surroundings were also misrepresented. The grill was rusted through and unusable, forcing us to buy our own pans. The “glamping community” described online was mostly unfinished lots and active construction more eerie than relaxing.This home could be lovely, but it’s poorly cared for. Between the check-in trouble, lack of hot water, dirty conditions, and neglected amenities, our stay was stressful and disappointing. Unless significant improvements are made, I wouldn’t recommend this rental.

Great Concept of a Cabin Community

The cabin and location of the property is great as well as the community concept in development. The property itself was very unique and welcoming for our family. We really enjoyed our vacation! Our only complaint was a hot water issue with the showers which we contacted the host about only to be met with some resistance. I pleaded to have the issue investigated and fixed after our first night notifying the host that we would be away for the entire day giving plenty of time to accommodate and hoping for the issue to be resolved. The host agreed to investigate and confirmed the issue but offered a tactical work around for one of the showers and adjusting the valve while admitting that the other shower would need a replacement part to be installed. The issue was not resolved and I was forced to endure another incredibly cold shower for a second night in a row. There was never a mention of remorse any any offer to compensate for this bad experience. Upon further investigation on this property, this issue was mentioned in a review over 6 months ago leading me to believe that those tenants concerns were probably dismissed and yet the issue had not been corrected since then. Overall, my family enjoyed the stay but we would hope for the showers to actually function properly if we were to consider another stay.

Hi Daniel, We’re glad to hear you and your family enjoyed the cabin, the location, and the overall vibe of the community—that's exactly what we hope our guests experience. As for the water issue, we responded immediately and adjusted the valve on one shower the same day. The second shower required a part that unfortunately couldn’t be replaced during your short stay. We communicated this clearly and provided a functional workaround to avoid further disruption. The review you referenced is from over six months ago, and at that time the issue had been resolved. This recent valve failure was a new, unrelated maintenance issue—one that we again addressed promptly. We appreciate your stay and your feedback, and we’d love the chance to host you again with everything running perfectly.

Consumer beware! Upon arriving to this “resort” it looked like a ghost town with dilapidated buildings that in the listing say under construction. These are not under construction they look abandoned like they have been sitting untouched for a long time. Some had their doors kicked in and others had broken windows. Lake front was an absolute lie it was a man made pond at best! The grounds were unkept and grass and weeds were tall. The patio furniture was strewn everywhere with some chairs upside down in the fire pit. Area rug from living room was rolled up and hanging over the railing on porch. Inside the cabin the bar stools faux leather was flaking off, tub in bathroom had rust spots and the faucet was leaking. The windows were dirty and the wall in the living room had water damage at base board. One of the bedrooms had a cracked window and the door in back to the water main and utility box was broken and open to the outside. There was trash with dirty diapers outside the unit as well.Please do yourself a favor and avoid this place for your vacation needs. It was awful and felt unsafe with all the unfinished units. We did not stay we left and let the host know of our disappointment and that we were leaving. It was our daughter’s college graduation and everything was booked but we managed to find one hotel room for my family which consisted of 4 adults and 3 small children. The unit was bad for us to leave knowing it would be difficult to find another room
