We enjoyed the house thoroughly! Thank for such a lovely time! It was really helpful that the house has kitchenware so we can cook throughout the day. We were able to bring our groceries early, which helped a lot. The only thing is that we had difficulty figuring out the speakers in the living room (the amplifier), so perhaps instructions could be helpful for the next family. Lastly, this house is a great place for photos at sunset, our family photos came out lovely. Thank you for a wonderful time!

About the host

Hosted by Dale & Vicky Thames

Host profile image
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.
