This property was perfect for our family of 7. We loved the backyard games. Also location is perfect if you want to be close to the river. Parks and restaurants are within walking distance.

The whole experience was easy. Communication was great.Only small issue was that the tubes had leaks.
Great location. You can walk home for lunch from Schlitterbahn. Loved the blackout curtains in every room for sleeping. Also, I really appreciate this property having so many extra pillows! The property is beautifully decorated! The layout of this property was well thought out- It is very small but used every inch efficiently. We really enjoyed our stay!

We booked this place for our annual girls float trip. It was perfect!! House and yard are beautiful. Supply of tubes made it easier for us to travel without our own. Will definitely book again!
Fantastic vacation house for a Schlitterbahn vacation. House is directly across the street from the original Schlitterbahn entrance. You can easily go back to house for lunch while playing in the old side of the park.
Back yard was great and the house is nicely furnished. Its a small 3 bed 2 bath so its a little cramped, but if your here for the water park who needs much space in the house.
We highly enjoyed our stay here. It was clean and as advertised! We loved that it was within walking distance to Schlitterbahn. The property manager I spoke with was very helpful, kind, and accommodating. There is no dining table but we didn ’t mind! The backyard was such a nice space with a picnic table and plenty of seating. We had so much fun hanging out outside and playing corn hole in the evenings after a long day at the water park. We would definitely stay again!!
It was clean and comfortable. There were high kitchen ware. Picnic tables, coal girl and yard games provided. No dining table but we made do.

This house was perfect for us. We stayed with another family. 4 adults, 4 kids and a dog. It fit all of us no issues. Conveniently located for our river float at the comal and visiting Schlitterbahn across the street! We really enjoyed the backyard it was super cute and nicely fenced in for our dog to run around.
This property was the perfect location for those looking to have fun at the water park. We were able to walk home for lunch and rest. They also allowed us to escape Hurricane Beryl and check in a night early at a discount… wonderful!!
A few notes for improvement:
- no kitchen table ( we made due, but possibly put a larger table on the back patio.
- we stayed 4 nights. For a family of 6 we ran out of trash bags and detergent.
- no tv in Master Bedroom

We enjoyed staying in this beautiful cottage very much. The home is clean and nicely decorated. The view is amazing, lovely trees and historical landmarks are visible from the front porch, topped with deers wondering about. The town is beautiful with murals on the buildings, lot’s of history and great food and drinks. After a day of exploring and shopping, come home and relax in the beautiful back yard on the swing by a warm fire. We enjoyed our visit and the hospitality of the community, and would highly recommend this property.
Home was everything we needed, clean, the owners checked in with us often to see everything was going well, great backyard, walking distance to river and park. We will come back very soon!
It was super comfy and cozy house and spacious for a family of four. We really enjoyed the location. The house was stocked with everything we needed. Would definitely come back again.
This rental fit us perfectly for our stay. the location is great, the communication with the property manager was excellent and the cleanliness and backyard was great! We will be booking again!

Loved the location, and the backyard was great for my dog and grandson. It is pretty bare bones on amenities and there were some things that could have been cleaner, but we enjoyed our trip.
