I've been renting this property every summer for a few years now. The location is excellent, with great river access and only a short walk to nearby tubing outfitter. The property is always clean and well cared for. I will be back next summer for sure.

The house was great! Very open and spacious inside. Access to the water was easy. Overall we had a really good time! Don’t forget your towels. The only complaint we really had was there was only a few pots and pans. If you have a large group I’d bring some casserole dishes and other pans for cooking.

Great New Braunfels River Trip Rental!

This is a great rental for your river trip. Clean, easy, spacious, and walking distance to tube rentals & river access. Everything was exactly as expected. Hosts are friendly and accommodating with good communication. Don’t forget your towels and toiletries though! It is noted in the description, but we still forgot. :)

Clean with great river avcess

This house is part of a community of like houses, mostly rentals. The house worked well for my family of 12, ages 8 to 73. Large open kitchen/living space. The equipment in the kitchen could use some refresh, especially the cookware, but there is plenty of space for storing food, etc while there. Although the rental promises internet, we never had access during our 3-day stay. The manager, without my asking, gave us a 10% compensation, which I completely appreciate. Although the river was too low for "rafting", the access is beach like and there was plenty of water there to enjoy. The kids had a great time floating and paddle boarding. We would come back. Thanks.

First time renters

Gorgeous new house with beautiful scenery right off the balcony. We usually camp every year but decided to try a house rental and we were so glad we did. Sadly we were unable to float the Guadalupe with it being flooded but the Comal was just a 20 minute drive. It is right near Mountain Breeze and Gilligans Island so when the Guadalupe does open you can definitely get tubes easily. The grill, one bedroom, and one bath is downstairs and everything else is upstairs. The house is extremely clean and well furnished. I would recommend to other travelers who plan on doing a lot of cooking to bring a large pot and a griddle. Those two things helped us get food ready a lot faster. There are pots and pans provided but with a large crowd the small stuff didn't work as well for us. Thank you to the owners for being so nice and answering any questions we had so quickly! We will be back 😀

Great Large Family River Retreat!

We celebrated our son’s graduation with family over Memorial weekend. House had plenty of parking and the outdoor seating areas were really nice. The downstairs game room and bedroom had a slight cobweb problem, but that was an easy fix. We enjoyed the ping pong table and being able to lock up our gear in the game room at night. The house was very comfortable, stayed nice and cool, and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. (We brought our own linens as instructed.). We agree the pots and pans could use a refresh, they were very scratched with mismatch lids. The bluetooth sound system was a nice perk but couldn’t really use it outside. The Mountain Breeze Campground next door had a very loud DJ playing music all weekend. If you’re a light sleeper, bring earplugs-they partied until 3am each night. (Obviously, not much anyone can do about that!). The evening laser light show on the bluffs from the opposite campground was entertaining. The river was not super low, but it did not seem to have much of a flow. The water was foamy and murky and we saw a few snakes coming from a nearby brush pile. We chose to pay for a day pass and swim down the road at a more shallow section of the river. This area experienced a good rain after we left, so it could have improved the river conditions. Overall, this was an excellent stay. We made great memories and would recommend this house to family and friends that travel together!

Great weekend trip!

We hosted by future brother in law’s bachelor party here and had a great time! It was perfect set up with plenty of space. The walk to the water is not too far and is a fun hang out spot! Would definitely go stay there again!

spring break

Went on vacation for spring break with my whole family. The place was awesome and clean. it is a gated area with about 10 houses around. And no one can come in unless they have the code. Therefore, it is super safe and the direct access to the Guadalupe river was excellent. This is definitely a place we would come back to. (:

Great spot

House was very nice and was super easy to check in and get there. We thought the house would be directly in-front of the river which it wasn’t. Some of the houses are and it’s a very short walk to the river inside a nice gated community which was nice! Plenty of room for our family of 11. Kids had a blast. Would definitely stay there again in the future.

July Family Stay

We rented the house for Monday through Friday in July. We had six adults and one infant traveling with us. There was plenty of seating area both inside and out. The house had been freshly cleaned prior to arrival. It was very well stocked with everything we needed, including movies and board games for rainy days. The only negative we had during our trip was a group of tent campers that moved in the the adjacent location and the noise was close to the master bedroom. Overall a great trip, and we will definitely return.
