I wish there were more stars to give Perfect location, plenty of parking, more than enough space for all of us, and the host got back to me very quickly! I will be staying here again for our next visit
Great location! The house is beautiful, and was very clean. It was very spacious, and just a short drive to Gruene. We really enjoyed our visit! The hosts are very responsive, and the house had everything we needed.

Thanks for being a great guest, Landen! Always happy to host you at Will’s Haus!
We had a wonderful time staying for a weekend wedding! The house is beautifully appointed and an easy car ride to Gruene. The owners communicated with us before and after and were very helpful. We highly recommend this house when visiting New Braunfels.

We appreciate your review, Mary! Glad you loved the location!
We had an incredible stay over a long weekend. Though the weather and conditions were t the best for floating, Amy made sure we had all the information we needed for our safety and off river activities. Loved the house and area! Thank you.

The Decorating Divas are always welcome at Will's Haus!
It was just what we needed, a clean, wonderful space to enjoy the area(Schlitterbahn and Gruene) from. The kitchen was easy to navigate, HeB nearby. And our kids enjoyed the selection of board games. We look forward to returning!

Thanks for the 5-star review, Leigh! We hope to have you back at Will's Haus soon!
We have stayed at several vacation rentals in NB and were disappointed. Will Haus was top tier and we will definitely be looking to stay here again as we travel to the area often. Amy and Evan have thought of everything when it comes to this property. The kitchen is stocked with every thing you might need for cooking. Great open floor plan for visiting! Just a lovely place!!

What a wonderful review of our home. We love it too. Thank you so much!
Perfect house for our group of 8. Super clean. Large spaces to spread out. Convenient. Actually slept 10 without the ‘trick’ of sofa’ like some say. Great sturdy adult bunk beds. Didn’t squeak with people climbing up and down. And real mattresses thank you. Gladly called dibs on a bunk bed, no sharing lol.
Only suggestion at all, few full length mirrors in bedrooms. Just needed little more mirror time with 8 women getting ready.
Absolutely!!! Stay here again!!!!
Hi y'all! My husband, Evan, and I are native Texans living, hosting, and raising a family in beautiful New Braunfels, Texas. So excited to show you around!
Why they chose this property
Will's Haus is situated between Historic Gruene and famous River Road in the sought-after and tranquil Preiss Heights neighborhood.
With large lots, lots of trees, and whitetail deer, the neighborhood gives off a country feel and feels like an escape from everyday life despite it's close proximity to town and Gruene!
