As described. Could have been cleaner. Looked like no one had stayed there for awhile. Bugs and spiderwebs. Mold in old coffee grounds left in coffee maker. Great location and huge yard.

What a lovely home away from home! It truly was just steps from the main entrance to Schlitterbahn, which made our stay so convenient. We didn’t have to load up the car or search for parking—we simply walked out the front door and over to the park.The backyard was amazing! Our little Miniature Pinscher absolutely loved having so much room to run and explore.Communication with the host was clear, friendly, and timely from start to finish, making everything easy and stress-free.The home was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better location or experience.We will definitely stay here again the next time we visit New Braunfels!

This property was perfect for our family of 7. We loved the backyard games. Also location is perfect if you want to be close to the river. Parks and restaurants are within walking distance.

Nice Location and Backyard

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved the location, and the backyard was great for my dog and grandson. It is pretty bare bones on amenities and there were some things that could have been cleaner, but we enjoyed our trip.
