Great house, great host, great location

The house was fantastically updated and clean. The location was terrific; close to amazing restaurants, bars and freeways for easy commuting access. Melissa, the host, was easy to communicate with and made herself readily available to help. My family of 5 thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Oh, and the backyard, such a cool spot to hang. Wouldn’t have changed a thing.

Will be staying again!!

The cutest Vrbo I’ve ever stayed at! The host thought of everything—from snacks to all the little details you might need during your stay. The house was spotless, in a perfect location, and truly felt like a home away from home. On top of that, the host was so thoughtful and even let us know about a nearby estate sale, which was such a fun addition to our trip. I can’t say enough good things about this place and the overall experience!

Top notch weekend getaway House!

This house could not be any cuter! It had the perfect setup and they literally thought of everything! We really enjoyed the backyard area and playing the games. The location could not have been any better! We opened the back gate and had our own little dance party jamming to the live music at the bar/restaurant across the street. Would love to stay here again!

Beautiful, well cared for home. It lacks for nothing. Literally, everything is at your fingertips. The homeowner has great taste. You feel instantly welcomed the second you walk through the door. I don't remember if it was mentioned by other guests but there is a bar behind the home that plays loud music late into the evenings. If you can't beat them, maybe you can try joining 'em.

Very nice, cute, clean house in convenient location.

This property was just what we needed. The only reason I gave it 4/5 stars is because the twin bed mattress was not comfortable at all and there is a bar behind the house which played loud music. Other than that it is a very nice house.

Perfect location & Trendy Decor

We pretty much walked everywhere except the Float-In and even that was just a $10 uber ride. The decor is also SO freaking cute!! The backyard is cool too and you can hear the music from the bar/restaurant right behind it BUT somehow you can’t hear the music inside which was nice too. Melissa was easy to get ahold of and really nice. There are also some cool board games (like a vintage Backstreet Bots trivia game lol). We come to NB every last weekend in July and liked the house so much we asked to book for next year before we left. Highly recommend!

We came for my mom’s 85th birthday. The location was perfect. Everything was in walking distance. Melissa was very helpful and the house was perfect. She has thought of everything!!! She has a first aid kit, outside games, ear plugs if you don’t want to hear the music (but we loved the outside live bands). The kitchen had everything needed!!! We will definitely be back and share with friends!

This house is a lovely place to stay which made for a very enjoyable girl’s trip. We all agreed it was the nicest and cleanest place we had stayed in all our trips together. The host has thought of everything to make you feel like you are home. The house is located close to downtown New Braunfels and several other small towns with great shopping . There is a wide variety of restaurants to eat or if you like to cook there is a beautiful kitchen with everything you need to cook. We would definitely stay here again.

Very Charming Place

First, the property was as neat as a pin. It was VERY clean and well appointed. The house has been updated but all of the old doors, trim, and hardware has been left intact. The beds were very comfortable and the decor is very well done. I want to buy this house!! All the workmanship is top notch. The old floors barely make a squeak! I thought it was going to be a bit noisy with the train tracks so close and the restaurant behind the house hosts a live band but the music stopped at 10:00 on the dot and the train was all but unnoticeable. I really like the pull-through driveway (we attended a vendor market in Gruene and had our trailer with us). The gates for the driveway are a little wonky but I’m just being a bit picky. What a neat house and comfortable place to relax in where there are so many things to do within walking distance. I’m serious…I’d love to own this charming little house! Thank you for an awesome weekend.

A Real Gem

This is 5 stars by every metric. The house measures up to every pretty picture you see. One of our daughters lives in New Braunfels and she was able to show us great things within walking distance of the house. And so many other attractions are a very short drive. My wife and two other adult daughters who came with us from Katy were ooh, ahh, as soon as we walked in. Cozy and well stocked with all the amenities, while keeping a historical charm. Highly recommended.

My family of 5 stayed during the National Championship for Men’s College Basketball. Our host had a Gator flag hanging for us across the porch upon arrival! Such a sweet gesture. The house is impeccable…I wish their cleaning service could come to my house! No details are overlooked. Lovely furnishings and comfortable beds. We will most certainly stay again when we are back in the area. Thank you SO very much for your kindness, hospitality and sharing your home with our family!

Great spring break stay

This home is exactly as advertised, although the pictures don’t do it justice. It is featured in a magazine for its historic uniqueness. We only had 2 adults and one kiddo, so probably more room than we needed but each bedroom was a good size and could easily sleep a larger family with 1 king bed, a queen and then a 3rd bedroom with a queen and a twin. The kitchen had everything you would need to cook any meal and the back yard is an incredible place to end the day. Super easy walk to the coffee shops two doors down and the main area for restaurants in NB. Tons of driveway space for parking and the gate can be closed for privacy. It was our daughter’s first time to NB and she doesn’t want to stay anywhere else. There is a restaurant/ bar right behind the house that has an incredible atmosphere and has a live band we were able to enjoy from the privacy of the back yard (or you can walk out the back gate and go directly in). It was also a lot of fun watching the hustle and bustle of all the people going to the farmers market Saturday morning from the comfort of our front porch. Made for great people watching. 10/10.

About the host

Hosted by Melissa

Host profile image
I'm a New Braunfels native with a background in historical renovation and interior design. I love historic homes and the stories they have to tell.

Why they chose this property

This home had undergone many "builder-grade" updates throughout the decades that had stripped the historic uniqueness and qualities from both the interior and exterior. My goal for all my homes is to make them function for today's way of life, while preserving the historic elements that set them apart from the current streamlined designs often found in communities today.

What makes this property unique

We are only the fifth owner of this adorable Craftsman and look forward to celebrating its 100 year anniversary in 2025.
