About this property

One of a Kind Vintage Lakefront Getaway on Lake Dunlap--W/D, fire pit, 4 tvs

Peacock Pass, our recently expanded, vintage 1950s cabin, delivers such a unique experience at Lake Dunlap. Despite recent updates, we have worked to maintain the original feel of the cabin that has been in our family for over 40 years. The stunning view, terraced lighted levels, firepit, outdoor seating, and lakefront are just a few of the neat features.

Come enjoy the tranquil atmosphere and beautiful view of the lake! We are located just a few houses down from the dam which is the deepest part of Lake Dunlap. Enjoy the view while sitting on the swing overlooking the lake. When relaxing in the evening, there will be lots of time for outdoor recreation or s’mores by the fire pit or chiminea. The lighted path to the water with the lightning bugs flying through the air provides such a memorable experience. The living room has a 50 inch tv and the lake room and both bedrooms have 32 in smart TVs for relaxing after your busy day! There is one DVD player at Peacock Pass. Feel free to bring your gaming system as well!

Peacock Pass has central heat and air plus an electric fireplace for added ambiance in the winter. Make yourself at home in one of our two bedrooms. The Texas Room has a queen bed with a ceiling fan, and the Peacock Room has a full bed with a ceiling fan as well. Our newly added “lake room” has a love seat, a recliner, and really provides some extra flex space. In our main living area is a queen pull out bed.

Enjoy a stocked kitchen, a charcoal BBQ grill, a stackable washer/dryer, and two living areas to spread out after enjoying everything New Braunfels has to offer. The kitchen, living, and dining are all open, with an island in the middle for preparing or serving food. At the dining table, fight for the best seats as you eat your meals or play games with friends or family. The view is incredible, especially early in the am where you can almost feel the tranquil calm. Microwave, drip coffee maker, and Keurig machine provided. We provide Keurig pods to get your first morning fix.

Peacock Pass is off the beaten path ( about 10 minutes from downtown NB) but still close to Fisher Park with splash pad for kids, Schlitterbahn, the Comal River, Gruene, and many local eateries such as Two Tarts, Clear Springs Café, Krause's Cafe, and Naegelin’s Bakery. For some day trips, head to San Antonio, the Outlet Malls in San Marcos, or the capital of Texas, Austin. There is a ton to do, and you won’t be disappointed. Book now while it is still available and come enjoy our Peacock Pass!

A hidden Gem. I can’t begin to explain how nice this home is. Nestled with trees, and about 20 steps down to the lake. We planned on floating the river. However after seeing this home we decided to relax and swim and tube right there. Thus was a much needed get a way. Thanks so much for sharing with us.

Really nice place to stay

We really liked mostly everything about our stay. We appreciated all the little extra amenities. I would like to stay again but 2 things… I wish check-in was earlier and the Peacock room bed was not comfortable. It moved a lot and the mattress was hard. I slept on the couch 1 night. I would consider a better mattress. I think the other room was ok. But overall it’s a really nice place.

About the host

Hosted by Celeste Colvin

Host profile image

Hi there, my sister and I grew up going to this little lake cabin. Although we have made an addition and lots of improvements (like central heat and air), the flavor is still the same every time I arrive. We have several short term rentals in TX and OK. We love to host our guests and offer them the very best experience possible. We exercise to create a unique place that will facilitate the best time. We have tried to think of everything but just let us know if you see anything that would make our place better. We come out there often, and we continually strive to improve. Of course, we are always on the lookout for peacocks! Come on out and let us treat you!

Why they chose this property

This property has been in our family for over 40 years. When I was little, there was a family down the street with peacocks. In the early morning, you could hear them saying HELLLLPPPPP! HELLLLPPPPP! Forget about sleeping. Since those days, we have made a lot of changes. Peacock Pass has a great view of Lake Dunlap and a lot of great outdoor space. There is lots of seating and a firepit. At night, our terraced property is beautifully lit! We have a robustly stocked kitchen. I tease that you could make Thanksgiving Dinner there. We put TVs in every room so that you can relax after a fun day. We do provide a washer/dryer. This is a unique place, and we have tried our best to maintain the vintage feel. Come check it out. You won't be disappointed!
