About this property

Vintage House, Cottage & Bunk - Walk to Schlitterbahn /Comal River

This VRBO listing is for the rental of all 3 of these units.

Stadt Platz is located in the heart of the New Braunfels Historic District on a large lot purchased from the German Immigration Company in 1848. Stadt Haus is at the street side of the lot and Spiel Haus is in the back of the property along with the bunk.

Both Stadt Haus and Spiel Haus have recently been restored to original styles, but they also offer our guests modern conveniences and comfort. The house, cottage and bunk may sleeps a total of (18 people).

Stadt Haus (Circa 1890s) has two bedrooms, one large bathroom with antique bath tub, living room, and kitchen with dining area. The old growth pine floors and high ceilings provide a very warm atmosphere. There are stained glass transoms, beveled windows, and a huge circular stained glass window in the bathroom. Swing or rock on our front or back porchs. There are barbecue-pits and picnic tables for each house shaded by our huge pecan and crepemurtel trees.

Spiel Haus (cottage) is a unique cottage that was constructed in the 1980s from vintage materials taken from an original Falkwerk house in the area. There is a bedroom with a queen bed and a loft bedroom with a queen bed. Under the loft is the dining area with a complete kitchenette. The living area is separated from the kitchenette by the stairwell to the loft. This cozy area is furnished with a sofa sleeper and TV and wireless internet.

Bunk is next to Spiel Haus (cottage) and has the 2 beds, a queen and a full size bed. Bunk serves as the extra bedroom, has no kitchen or bathroom. Spiel Haus is about 10ft away to use the bathroom.

The grounds are privacy fenced and landscaped to offer our guests natural beauty and comfort. Outdoor shower with hot and cold water. Stadt Platz is a half block from the famous plaza and across the street from the original Market Platz of New Braunfels. You can walk two blocks to the Comal River & Tube Chute, 3 blocks to Schlitterbahn, or restaurants, bars, and shops in downtown New Braunfels. The Float In, Rockin R River Rides or Felger's Tube Rentals can pick you up at our front door and take you to Float the Comal River, you must contact a river outfitter to schedule a time and pricing.

Tom was a great host, helped me adjust my reservation as needed. Check-in & out super easy. We had all amenities needed. Being able to gate the entire property was helpful allowing the kids to safely go between the cottages and my dog to roam freely. Highly recommend!

We came to New Braunfels for my daughter’s bridal shower. We had a great weekend, the house is very spacious with rooms in the main house and rooms in the outside cabins. The outdoor seating was great and spacious for morning coffee or evening cocktails. The location was amazing. Everything we had planned was within walking distance. The owner had great communication, and was extremely helpful. We will be back!!!

We had a wonderful stay at this home, it was perfect! Everything was clean, comfortable, and just as described. We appreciated the small details throughout the house; they added a special touch and made it feel cozy and welcoming. The decor was charming and perfectly suited the home's style.The location was quiet yet close to everything we needed. The A/C worked great, which made a big difference during the warm days. One of our favorite parts was the large outdoor gathering area, which was the perfect spot to relax and spend time together.We’d stay here again. Highly recommend!

Great place for a large group!

Great location! Walking distance to a bakery, ice cream, coffee shop and restaurants. Centrally located to everything we drove to, as well. Lots of room out back where we hung out most of the time, it was perfect. The property is old and historic, which we appreciate.

Really Great Location

Great location, parking is convenient, and the property manager was extremely friendly and responsive. Very good stay overall with only minor inconveniences. The lower heating element in the oven was broken, so we just used the broil function for everything. Either the bed frames or box springs were broken on the beds, so they were all leaning one direction or another. Still, overall it was a great location and we had a great time.

Good for big groups

We enjoyed our stay but the condition of some of the house wasn’t great. The bath tub in the main house wobbled and felt very unsafe to stand in. Overall we enjoyed our stay but for the price wish some things like the bath were fixed/maintained better.

Wonderful, unique, great location, perfect for larger groups

We stayed here for the 2024 solar eclipse – a family reunion with eight of us in total. It was ideal for us and we had a perfect time! The property has three separate units (buildings) of varying sizes and configurations, which gives you a lot of space and flexibility with sleeping arrangements. At the center of the property is a large patio/courtyard that serves as a good gathering spot, especially in warm weather. Before our trip we didn't know much about the town of New Braunfels, and we were pleasantly surprised to discover that the property is within a very short walking distance of the town center, making it extremely convenient. We enjoyed being able to easily walk to the farmer's market, bakery, coffee shop, beer hall, and so on. New Braunfels is a very charming, friendly town and we would love to come back. We also appreciated that they left some eclipse glasses for us to use – that was a nice touch. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

These little old German houses were just right.

We had 15 people in our group that ranged in age from 5 to 73. This is a great place for a lot of teenagers. There are 4 seating areas outside, too. We served food from the main house and had everyone eat outside. The kitchen was stocked with all the basics (no dishwasher, though). The houses are not luxurious but they are adequate. The WiFi worked well and the decor was charming. The owners even supply toiletries, which I thought was a nice bonus. Neaglan’s (sp.?) bakery is just a few steps away. We have to visit there each trip to New Braunfels. The walk from the river is a bit longer. It’s best to use the local tube rentals and shuttles. One other neat thing we didn’t expect was the local wildlife. Sitting on the porch in the evening we saw deer, little foxes and an opossum. There were lots and lots of deer in the area. We had a fun stay and made some great memories.

Cute but too expensive for what was offered!

Great location! Group of 9 stayed, huge shout out for providing enough towels (I find these type of rental properties never have enough towels for larger groups)! Great check-in/out process. No outrageous cleaning requirements at the end. The outdoor area is great & being able to shut the gate to the property was nice, lots of parking! So things of note though: 1. The oven cooks slow. 2. There's no dishwasher. 3. The a/c is not adequate for the house. 4. The front bedroom in the main house on the right side of the living-room, is HOT. No airflow in the room at all. Needs window unit. 5. Cleanliness was average. 6. Most importantly, the BEDS were AWFUL!! Lumpy & hard as a rock! 7. The back house with only beds, really needs a bathroom. 8. The cost was really expensive for the what was rented.
