Our stay was wonderful. There was a burn ban so we could not use the firepit but it was not an issue becuase we did so many other activities and local establishments. Would highly recommend and will be back. The hosts were responsive and everything went smoothly. Thank you!

Anniversary trip

We had a truly lovely stay at this beautiful home with my husband and our grandchildren. The house was cozy, clean, and very comfortable — perfect for a family getaway. We especially appreciated the well-equipped kitchen and the welcoming touches throughout the home.Although we had quite a bit of unexpected rain during our stay, the house was such a pleasant place to be that we didn’t mind staying indoors. We spent time playing games with the kids, enjoying meals together, and just relaxing. The covered areas outside were also a bonus for getting some fresh air even when it was drizzling.All in all, it was a memorable and heartwarming trip, made even better by the comfort of this lovely home. We would absolutely come back again — hopefully with a little more sunshine next time!

About the host

Host profile image
We’re a fun-loving, travel-hungry couple who first visited the New Braunfels/Gruene area last year—and instantly fell in love with its charm, natural beauty, and vibrant local scene. After that trip, we knew we wanted to plant some roots here—not just for ourselves and our family, but to share with others who appreciate space, comfort, and the option to cook a meal or two during their stay.

As a blended family with six kids between us, we’re now enjoying life as empty nesters. We’ve been blessed with 13 amazing grandbabies (and counting!), and we love spending time with them, making memories, and sharing new adventures together.

Hosting is a joy for us—it's our way of welcoming others to experience this special place while enjoying all the comforts of home. Whether you're here for a weekend getaway or a longer retreat, we’re thrilled to have you as our guest.

What makes this property unique

We privately manage this house along side our co-host, Dusty Smith and pride ourselves on being available to our guests. You will be able to contact Dusty 24/7 for any needs at the house. We also provide a detailed Online Guidebook prior to your stay with all the details you'll need to know about the home as well as a local area resource guide on things to do. We hope that whether you're coming up for a romantic getaway, a girls' trip or a fun vacation with your family, we can make your experience as fun and memorable as possible!
