Perfect house for family vacation

Stayed at this house when in town for a wedding and it was perfect. Loved the decor and it had a lot of bed space for guests. Beautiful river location with great view. A/C ran great which is important in summer in Texas! Owners were very responsive to our questions and very helpful in all ways. Cannot say enough great things about this property!!

Exceeded Expectations

We could not have been happier with our weekend here. The owner was very responsive and accommodating. The house and property is beautiful. There was 12 of us and it was easy for everyone to spread out when needed. We used every space available - from breakfast on the dock, to a family event in the backyard, to enjoying the firepit in the evening, and watching the fireworks around us on the balcony (it was NYE). Would definitely return and recommend for large groups.

Great weekend

We had a great weekend and the house was great for the group of 12 we had. It was about 20 minutes to the river drop in and we spent all day Saturday floating. The house was great other than the dishes all looking like they needed to be washed really well. We went to cook breakfast and had to wash everything before using it due to old food being stuck to pans and utensils. Otherwise no complaints and it was a lovely weekend.

Graduation

This property was super great for my daughters graduation from Texas state. We had a small gathering of about 20 people and there was plenty of space and the kitchen was well equipped! We really enjoyed the fire pit and the deck area outside! The tv’s were hard to turn on but our daughter figured them out. We did not receive instructions to check out until the day of and we saw no hampers to put sheets in. However, The beds were very comfy! We will stay here again in the summer! Thanks again.

Wonderful property

This house was a perfect place for my family to gather for thanksgiving! It was spacious and really nice. The kitchen was a dream to cook in and was stocked perfectly. I loved that pets are allowed and the property is fenced in. The weather wasn’t the best, so we couldn’t enjoy the boat house or river, but it would be a great place to visit in summer. I highly recommend this house for a large group.

Beautiful home right on th water

We truly enjoyed our stay over the weekend. It’s a beautiful home just on the water. We happened to have an issue with the water pressure which put a damper on the bathrooms/shower situation and when we notified the the owner said she would check it out when she was back in town. Not sure if the water pressure issue was looked at yet. Otherwise I would definitely love to rebook if there’s no problems with the water. I’d say this is an ideal location in New Braunfels, just minutes from everything.

Yes there was a water pressure issue. It appeared that the water softner failed and the polymer beads from the softner plugged some of the lines. The lines have been flushed and currently the water softner has been bypassed until the device is replaced.

Friend Group Trip to the Hill Country

Some friends and myself wanted a fall weekend in the hill country. Coincided with Wurstfest so attended that as well. We had a small issue with the alarm system upon checking in, but the host was immediately available and there to help. The home is comfortable and cozy. Well built and stocked with most things you would need. Definitely set up well for families with children, but we were all adults and it worked just as well. The fire pit we made great use of one evening as it was actually a cold November weekend in Texas. Just grab some wood from Bucees or HEB. Getting into New Braunfels by car is pretty easy. ~10min drive. Would certainly try to stay here again, bet it’s booked often in the summer months.

About the host

Hosted by Debbs or Wendy Nelson

Host profile image
My wife and I grew up in South Louisiana but relocated to Houston, Texas in 2002. We love the architecture of southern homes so we decided to build one with that look on beautiful Lake Dunlap. We have another vacation property besides this one that we just finished building. The property is in Costa Rica and you can view it as well by entering in property ID 455750.

Why they chose this property

This house is built for those renters that have discriminating taste and want to have the best accommodations while away from their own home. Although we are sharing this property with others it was built for us not as a rental and has top of the line fixtures and appliances.

What makes this property unique

The best thing about this house is the quiet street and beautiful lake views it offers. Ample parking for four vehicles or two with your boat.
