We went to New Braunsfels to celebrate my bday with a group of friends. We loved the proximity and easy walk to the Prince Solms hotel and all the downtown restaurants etc. The house was very cute, cozy, and had a very nice front patio where we all loved sitting and watching the numerous deers. We enjoyed our stay and Leslie was so nice and a great host.

Absolutely loved staying in New Braunfels at Leslie’s home! House was well equipped, clean, and so comfortable! Loved swinging on the front porch as much as possible, and the home itself was so comfortable. It felt like home. The location - perfect! Easy, enjoyable walk to all New Braunfels fun - the river, restaurants, pubs - and an easy Uber drive to Gruene! Leslie was super helpful and communicative! She left folders of things to do and see! We will be back!!

This was an amazing, adorable getaway in the perfect location. We loved this home, it was beautiful in every way. We saw deer everyday in the back yard and across the street, we loved having coffee on the front porch swing, and we could walk to market street for shopping and dining. I loved the craftsmanship of this older style home with modern convenience.

Very clean and charming “Grandma’s House” (meant in the best possible way). Loved the kitchen table area, quiet and perfect location, and hanging out on the front porch swings. The best part of stay was watching the many deer and fawns in the neighborhood.

Cute historic home near downtown

Stayed over the 4th for an annual tubing trip with family. Due to weather we were unable to do much tubing, but loved the convenience of walking to shopping and restaurants! Dogs loved the backyard and making friends with the local deer. Home is older but very charming!

We had a wonderful time. The house was perfect for walking to downtown. It was also close for tubing in the Comal. It was very relaxing and the place had everything and we didn't need anything. We also enjoyed the wildlife- the deer and squirrels.

Little jewel box of a house.

This house is located near downtown New Braunfels and the river. You can easily walk to restaurants/bars and shopping downtown. The river is around the corner. We enjoyed the front porch swings and dining al fresco on the back deck.

About the host

Hosted by Leslie J Lammers

Host profile image
We are Leslie and Tom in the photo. We love living in New Braunfels and welcome you to our town. We are both Texans recently returned from living in the New York City metro area. When we visited New Braunfels from 1990 thru 2003, we stayed in the house on Napoleon when it was owned by friends. In 2004, our friends sold it to us. We use it for our friends who come to town and rent it out short-term. It is a charming place. It was built in 1910 or so. Wooden house. We call it Bonaparte Place because it is on Napoleon Street.

Why they chose this property

Bonaparte Place is so centrally located. Living is easy. The Arlans grocery store is a 5 minute drive. There are about fourteen good restaurants within two miles. The best in-town music venues are a ten-minute walk away. My siblings and I came to New Braunfels frequently as children. We fell in love with the river and the trees. As children, we spent all day in the river. My husband and I brought our two daughters here from New York City on vacations. When we decided to leave the hub-bub of NYC, New Braunfels was our choice.

In 1979, a local family built the water park known as Schlitterbahn. Over the years, they added on and now have three sections of park with lots of rides. It is tons of fun.

In addition, New Braunfels has a huge music scene. Downtown has three or four bars with music five nights a week. And then there is the famous Gruene Hall. It is a ten minute drive from the house. If you like music, check the schedule immediately and buy tickets for your stay. The shows sell out quickly for name artists.

New Braunfels is a great place to stay and play. Don't forget your sunblock, cooler and water shoes. We have towels and tubes for you.

See our other VRBOs at 1335934 (sleeps 6) and 1567722 (sleeps 12).


What makes this property unique

Our house was built in 1910. It takes you back to a simpler time. It has hardwood floors, hardwood ceilings, a claw foot tub, and a modern shower. The back deck offers a private place to hang out at the end of your day. This is the perfect place to relax and get away from your day to day life.

Our wonderful maid is a clean freak.
