It was perfect for us as a couple. Probably best for singles or couples, or small family who spends a lot of time outdoors.
And the outdoors here is truly magnificent!! Expansive pecan-shaded lot, stunning sunset and sunrise views on the water, amazing birdwatching, waterfront location with numerous water activities and equipment provided.
The neighborhood is friendly, peaceful, great for walking. A fun discovery was the Althauser Bauernhof microfarm stand a block away on Potthast Drive where we bought fresh eggs and homemade dog treats.
The cabin is conveniently located an easy drive down FM 725 to New Braunfels. There is a convenience store ~1 mile away and Walgreens ~2 miles away. During our stay we floated the Comal and the Guadalupe rivers, and visited Gruene for shopping and the Guadalupe River state park for fishing and a picnic.
We loved the large charcoal grill where we cooked dinner several nights under the new shaded outdoor cooking patio, and enjoyed the floats, air pumps, folding chairs, beach towels, fishing poles, and so much more that is provided!
We like to cook so were pleased to find the kitchen well-stocked with most of the cookware and dinnerware that we needed, as well as various spices/seasonings, flour, sugar, salt, pepper mill, tea bags, coffee maker, coffee filters, toaster, microwave.
Because of CoVid we came prepared to eat-in even more than usual, and admittedly I did not look very hard because we brought our own, but I did not see a good nonstick pan, a large knife for chopping, or steak knives. I have not found these to be commonly provided items in vacation rentals so this is not a negative, just a heads up to potential renters.
Especially nice touches: LED string lights that safely and beautifully illuminate the path all the way down to the river, bird feeders (numerous cardinals and warblers visited), really comfy bed linens and pillows, quality grilling utensils hanging within hands’ reach of the pit, cushioned chairs for relaxing on the porch.
Especially appreciated were the extra conveniences provided such as dog bowls, charcoal and lighter fluid, shampoo and conditioner, mosquito spray, and a full bag of ice in the freezer. Thank you :)
