Map & Owner's Profile
Darling Waterfront House--Egret's Landing
Year Purchased: 2002
Why the Owner Chose New Braunfels
We live in Austin, about 30 minutes from New Braunfels and have always found the town so charming. We love being on the water. It's so calm and peaceful out there, but still close to all the amenities and fun in the city.
The Unique Benefits at this House
We love to take our kayak out for an early morning paddle for an up close view of the wildlife and the morning light reflecting off the water. We also enjoy sitting on the deck in the evening with a good bottle of wine, watching the day wind down.
Owner's Map of New Braunfels
We're native Texans who like to travel in the US and abroad. When we're at home we spend holidays and weekends at the lake with our family, cooking out and enjoying life.

We had a wonderful time at this location. The house is just as described and the backyard with patio and decks is great. Loved the view from the patio and deck. We had great weather the week we were there. Explored New Braunfels, Texas Hill Country - drove to Canyon Lake and even Fredericksburg. Of course, the outlet malls were a definite bonus for me! We give it an A+!

Had a wonderful time at Egrets. The house is perfectly located. We enjoyed swimming in the lake and hanging out in the backyard overlooking the lake. It is also great to go to other sites in the area. It is a short drive to San Antonio and other attractions in New Braunfels. The house was spotless when we arrived and the washer and dryer were great there on site. Can't wait to go back!!!!

This house was absolutely perfect for me and my group of friends! We came down for the weekend to float the river and to hang out, and this was the best getaway! The house was cozy and everything was right there! We spent both Friday and Saturday nights out on the deck, enjoying the gorgeous surroundings. I will most definately be returning, and I will make sure that I let everyone know about Egret's Landing!

We had a wonderful 4 days at Egret's Landing. The house was a perfect fit for the four of us and the beds were very comfortable. Loved the access to the water and enjoyed watching all the water skiers, jet skis, and boats pass by - great entertainment. The location of the house was very easy to find and very quick access to town and Wal-Mart. Will definitely be a return customer!!

We had a group of 7 friends staying at this house for a weekend and couldn't have asked for a more perfect location. The house was clean and exactly as described upon arrival. The backyard is amazing and we spent our evenings grilling out and enjoying the dock and water. The owner of the house is very friendly and great to deal with. I would highly recommend this property!

This was our second year staying at Egret's Landing and once again, it was AWESOME!! I would highly recommend bringing a boat if you have one. The boat launch is under I35 which is only a few minutes away. Everything about Egret's Landing is perfect!! We had 8 adults in our group and the house, once again, suited us perfect. The upper deck is great for sitting around the table in the late evening, looking out over the water, and watching the sun go down. Early in the mornings, we were down on the lower deck fishing, watching the sun come up. River Road, for all your tubing adventures, is only about ten minutes away, and a great scenic drive through the Hill Country. The house location is great because it feels like you are staying out in the country, but town is only a few minutes away. One of the best things for us is, we cook all our own food and anything you could possibly need to cook with is provided in the kitchen. Extra sheets, pillows, and blankets are provided. The house is VERY comfortable and cozy. We will most definitely be back again next year!! I would highly recommend Egret's Landing to anyone for any occasion.

Very nice. The water views and the deck are very nice. We enjoyed just sitting in the swing and taking in the view. Our children enjoyed fishing off of the deck. This house is just minutes away from attractions, but yet you feel like you have gotten away from it all. Very peaceful and quiet. This was perfect for our family with young children.
