The house was large which was nice to accomodate our large group.
House was nice overall. Property is beautiful. The large room upstairs with all the bunk beds is great for large groups but it stayed very hot even with the AC unit on. We had to go buy fans to sleep. Needs an additional unit on that room. Master bed abd bath are beautiful but there needs to be some sort of door on the bathroom or even a curtain. Some things just require a little privacy. The pool was an added bonus and was large. We had a great time and close to the river. Plenty of parking and beautiful deer at sunset. We had a great time. This is our 26th year and as our party grows this house can accomodate our party.

Property was as advertised
Overall a very good property. Everything worked as expected. Some minor items - Chairs in the dining area were a bit rickety. Bedroom we stayed in didn't have end tables.

About the host

Hosted by Sherry Goodman

Host profile image
Our family originally bought this property to become our family home. However, we loved the beauty so much that we decided it would be better to share this property with others. The house, Hotel California, is located on a 40 acre oak grove and is used as a vacation rental during summer and winter. We love sharing this home during the summer with guests coming to visit the river, hill country, or hosting family reunions. During winter many families have their Christmas vacation at this location, although we do not decorate for holidays. During the spring and fall we host many weddings on the property, to book a wedding or event you must contact the venue directly, La Dolce Vita Estates in New Braunfels.

Whether you're here for a staycation or if you came from a far, thank you for choosing this property and we hope that you love it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Hotel California located at La Dolce Vita event venue and truly is a magical property. The property is located at the base of Hill country on the top of a Hill off of Bunker St (a very secluded and quiet neighborhood in New Braunfels).

What makes this property unique

When you book this vacation rental you're not just receiving a house to stay at, you will receive a private estate. It truly is a must see!
