About the host
Hosted by Dale & Vicky Thames
We are a retired couple from south of Houston towards the coast. We enjoy spending time with our family & friends, traveling, and our time in the beautiful Texas Hill County.
Why they chose this property
We have been traveling to New Braunfels for many years and raised our children floating the Guadalupe, playing at Schlitterhahn Water Park, boating and skiing on Canyon Lake, listening to live music at Gruene Hall and enjoying everything the amazing Texas Hill Country has to offer. We built Hill Country Haven for our family's vacation home, where we plan to make many family memories and raise our grandchildren with the same Texas Hill Country traditions. We want to share Hill Country Haven with others and hope that they will enjoy and experience the same joy. Maybe even start their own annual memories and traditions of their time in the Texas Hill Country at Hill Country Haven.
What makes this property unique
We built this property for the gorgeous views and the location. It is close to all hill country activities and locations; yet, it has its own privacy away from all the noise.
