We went to New Braunsfels to celebrate my bday with a group of friends. We loved the proximity and easy walk to the Prince Solms hotel and all the downtown restaurants etc. The house was very cute, cozy, and had a very nice front patio where we all loved sitting and watching the numerous deers. We enjoyed our stay and Leslie was so nice and a great host.

Absolutely loved staying in New Braunfels at Leslie’s home! House was well equipped, clean, and so comfortable! Loved swinging on the front porch as much as possible, and the home itself was so comfortable. It felt like home. The location - perfect! Easy, enjoyable walk to all New Braunfels fun - the river, restaurants, pubs - and an easy Uber drive to Gruene! Leslie was super helpful and communicative! She left folders of things to do and see! We will be back!!

Little jewel box of a house.

This house is located near downtown New Braunfels and the river. You can easily walk to restaurants/bars and shopping downtown. The river is around the corner. We enjoyed the front porch swings and dining al fresco on the back deck.

My family and I had such a wonderful time staying at Leslies home. The vintage style inside and out was absolutely beautiful. Leslie is very responsive, provided details to all the local restaurants and places to visit. We cooked Thanksgiving dinner, and really enjoyed the whole vibe.

Great House in New Braunfels

Nicely kept older house in the downtown New Braunfels area. My family and I stayed in town for Wurstfest, and found this property a short walk away from the festival. Very comfortable house that felt like a second home for the weekend. Would highly recommend.

Easy access to tube chute & restaurants

Clean, comfortable, well-stocked house within easy 15 min walk to Tube Chute & river exit point; less than 10 minute walk to variety of restaurants, including oldest bakery in TX (check your diet at the door!). Tons of board games, extensive cable & streaming selections & good wi-fi. Or just hang out in the front porch swings & watch the deer. Second time to stay here - highly recommend it. Communicating with owner is easy & efficient.
