Nestled in the beautiful Texas Hill Country on the bank of the Comal Springs, this charming 800 square-foot historical cottage is fully furnished with a kitchen, fireplace, and central air and heat.
Villa Sartain is reminiscent of the Tuscan countryside. Italian cypress trees line the sweeping 500 foot drive down to the entrance of your peaceful vacation cottage. This idyllic cottage is perfect whether you want to play in the crystal clear Comal Springs or just relax and enjoy the mild climate and scenic beauty.
The cottage is set-up for a romantic get-away for couples. (only one couple on the property at a time). The screened-in porch is perfect for enjoying your morning coffee and the peaceful views. Prepare your lunch on a gas grill in the outdoor stone living area, then top off your evening by the chiminea around a stone cocktail table.
There are six flagstone patios terraced down to the Comal Springs for dining, reading and relaxing. The lower terrace features a semi-private swimming and floating area and a charcoal grill at the river bank. The location, serenity and privacy create a paradise for winter (year-round)travelers looking for a weekend get-away or an extended stay.
The whole community of New Braunfels is charmed by the reassuring whistle of the train. Just 1.5 miles from the historic town of Gruene and Gruene Hall, the oldest operating dance hall in Texas.

Homeowner Response:
Doug later sent this thought and asked that it be added to the above: The Cottage on the Comal is the perfect place to stay if you love live music as I do. There are at least a half dozen venues within a 5-15 minute drive where you can hear live music several nights a week and usually for no cover charge. This is one of the things I enjoyed most about my stay. Doug Young

Dear Janie, thank you for the invitation to join you for drinks on your deck. We found ourselves at the Score Sports Bar for the Astros game last night. A very nice place. We enjoyed our stay, a pleasant surprise, love the charm of your cottage. Hoping to spend more time on the water next time. Too busy sight seeing this trip. Also hope to get to visit a little more. You two seem like wonderful folks.You may also note that we found Villa Sartain cottage very charming, private and welcoming. The location was ideal for visiting Historical New Braunsfels, Gruene, San Marcos and shopping at the outlet stores. You made it very easy to find our way around and we appreciate your recommendations for dining. It was also nice to know that the canoe, kayaks and tubes were readily available at no extra charge, I only wish we had more time to enjoy the water activities and BBQ on the patio. Looking forward to the next time we can get away.

We've known each other since elementary school....our yearly "road trip" and veg weekend. We enjoyed meeting Janie and Allen,we had fun seeing who could complete a sentence after climbing back up the terrace steps, cooking, shopping, margaritas.Personal favorite, sleeping in the same bed right after Kevin Welch. I am returning in June. Tara
