About this property

Mt. Joy...Zenfully refreshing!

Lake is full!! Cool water of the Guadalupe River is flowing. Get out of the heat. Escape to this zen-inspired retreat, perched atop a serene hill in private setting where tranquility reigns and breathtaking balcony views of the valley unfold below. Two private decks and master suites downstairs and upstairs. Fully stocked kitchen with pots, pans and spices to start your gourmet meal. Fully furnished with all the essentials for ultimate comfort.

The location cannot be surpassed. It's your peaceful haven just 15 minutes from New Braunfels for shopping center convenience medical needs, upscale dining, the famous dancehall and unique German town of GRUENE

Just a few miles from FIMFO ADVENTURES where you can buy a day pass. WHITEWATER AMPHITHEATER with WORLD CLASS ENTERTAINMENT is located right next door.

You will feel a world apart when you're at Mt. Joy curled up near the unique and cozy fireplace during the cold fall and winter stays. In the crisp mornings sip coffee or tea on the morning balcony as you wake to birds chirping. In the evening enjoy the vast sky as the sun sets over the mountain tops and enjoy your evening cocktail or wine before dinner. If you are looking for value and comfort, look no further.

Mt. Joy is ideal for short-term, mid-term or even long-term stays. One guest stayed for 4 months visit while putting their inspired finishing touches on the book they wrote. Other guests enjoyed their visit after entertaining at the famous Gruene Hall. Most of the guests who stay come for the hiking trails near by summer activities like floating the Guadalupe or jet skiing on the sparkling waters of Canyon Lake. Easy access for kayak as well and just a half mile down the hill.

The location and price can't be beat.
So many things to do...hike the many near by trails. Visit the Heritage Museum, short drive to Natural Wildlife Bridge, Famous Snake Farm, and the one an only Schlitterbahn Water Park and Resort. If you are a wine enthusiast there are many wineries near by.

Mt. Joy is my personal vacation home, I enjoy sharing it and I kindly ask guest to treat it with the upmost respect leaving it as pristine as you found it. I welcome up to six guests and accommodate one well-behaved pet dog with a $125 non-refundable fee provided you are a responsible pet owner who cleans up after them.

The property is eclectic and cool. The balcony and view is a great place to enjoy your coffee or cocktail. The living room area is very comfortable. The downstairs suite is neat and very versatile. We occupied all three bedrooms and everyone was comfortable and complimentary. We stayed here to attend a show at Whitewater Amp and Uber was available to us. The venue is about 5 miles away. We will be back again. The hostess was also responsive and polite. Thank you for a great experience.
