About this property

4 Bed + Loft, Secret room, Hot Tub, backyard games

This 1880 complete rebuild is the perfect nostalgic vacation home with its open kitchen and living room displaying the 141-year-old cedar siding and original bead board.

This ‘one of a kind' cottage has all the modern conveniences from granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances to TV’s with ROKU and Blue Ray players in multiple rooms while preserving the old-world amenities in the spacious claw foot tub. You can rest and unwind in one of the two outdoor seating areas overlooking a large fenced yard shaded by hundred-year-old pecan trees. Or, you can gaze at the stars while relaxing on your private balcony.

Once here, you can experience the delights of New Braunfels. A five-minute walk will take you world's #1 water park - Schlitterbahn. Or, you can stroll two blocks to Prince Solms park and ride the tube chute or float the river. Looking for a unique dining experience? Try Pat's Place, Union Station Café or the historic Naeglin’s Bakery, an easy jaunt from the cottage. Shop or visit the museums while you’re out. Famous Gruene is only 4 miles away. Natural bridge Caverns is 20 min south and San Marcos outlet mall is 20 min north.

Beware. With these luxurious amenities and convenient access to all New Braunfels has to offer, you may not want to leave.
