Hostess was always available. Home was exceptionally comfortable. No complaints. There is a water constriction in the hallway shower and that doesn't make for a nice heavy flow of water, like in the main bedroom shower but we had a choice so that was nice. All in all, we would definitely stay here again. It's one of the nicer places we've stayed at.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this charming house. Very convenient to the town and the wedding we attended at Bull Lion Ranch. One suggestion would be an iron and ironing board, otherwise the accommodations were over the top!!!

About the host

Hosted by Nichole Nguyen

Host profile image
Welcome to our home. We're the Nguyens. This is our first weekend rental property and we hope you love it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

This house is a beautiful piece of history. A lot of love and hard work has gone into the home to preserve the historic feel without sacrificing any modern amenities. The original portion of the home was built in 1907. The original floors, shiplap, and a few doors we saved and preserved beautifully. I grew up in New Braunfels, TX where history and old homes are everywhere. This home reminded me a lot of my childhood.
