This home is wonderful! It is set up for groups. Each room has its own bath and there is privacy if needed. The kitchen is great and the property is amazing! You can be out in the backyard or go down to the river. There is plenty of seating anywhere you go! The management was also very helpful. We weren't able to use the pool as it was being resurfaced, but the fence built around it was quite nice and didn't deter from the outside. Can't wait to stay again and use the pool! We will be back!
We had 3 generations staying at this gorgeous property. The bedrooms gave everyone their own space, but the house was open so we could also be together. The outside area’s had plenty of seating along with 2 grills and the heated pool kept everyone entertained during the down times. We will definitely be staying at this property again.
This house was AMAZING!! So clean, spacious and had everything we needed! We traveled with 6 picky families and EVERY person was over the top happy with our accommodations!! Will definitely be back!
We booked this house for our family Christmas and it was perfection! We have rented several houses over the years and this was by far the best, biggest, most stocked and comfortable for a large group we have ever stayed at! We had 15 people in our group ranging from 2-72!
Well thought out spaces for sitting with the whole family. Beautiful spaces everywhere you look. The deep pool was a pleasant surprise. The rooms were spacious and the kitchen is well stocked! Can’t wait to book again.
The property was amazing with incredible views. It was the perfect place for me and my wife to get married at. It was large enough for all of our family to stay at and prepare for the wedding which was at the level grassy area with the river behind us. The house is definitely set up for large groups. We look forward to staying there again, but next time will be to float the river with family. I highly recommend this house.
We loved everything about our stay, and loved the personal touch of drinks in the fridge and chips and salsa for us on the counter at arrival! The house was very clean and included everything we could ever need, including lots of towels for the pool. It comfortably slept our group of 6 families. We will be back!
We loved the home! It was great for our large family that varied from age 2-77!
The pool was fantastic and they thought of everything you would need in the home!
(I hesitate to even give a review or else others will find out about this house and it will be so booked we won't be able to reserve it next time!)
We'll be back!
I booked this property for my 40th birthday - the goal was to have a relaxing weekend with friends cooking, hanging by the pool, and playing games. This property was PERFECT for our stay. The home was clean and very well stocked. While many properties can hold a large group, the spacing of the home allowed privacy and the common areas had more than enough seating for our group of 13. Adding the heated pool option was perfect for the weather and instructions for the hot tub were easy to follow. The fact that there are 2 refrigerators, dishwashers, and washer/dryers made storing groceries and keeping things clean easy. Loved the long dining tables for our Saturday night meal and we were so close to everything we needed. The management team was so quick to respond to any questions and provided amazing service before, during, and after our stay. Highly recommend for families, groups of friends and beyond
This is a great house to rent. The bedrooms all have terrific TVs in every room, kitchen supplies everything - even spices. Outside you have 2 large stainless grills. There are 2 of the largest refrigerators and 1 huge freezer. The seating area can seat over 20. We all like to cook many of the meals and it was so easy. Everything included - pans, spoon, nice silverware, sharp knives, tons of glasses, bowls and places. The pool is wonderful & large with a terrific spa and pool house with a shower. They even supply you with over 10 beach towels. The top yard is fenced and large. We played volleyball while others sat on the wrap-around patio and watched the kids in the pool and volleyball games. Then you can walk down to the cement area by the river with seating and lights in the trees at night. Get your float and you are on the river.
It was the best house we have ever rented for 4 families, 1 single guy, 3 boys, and 5 girls - a total of 17. Everyone had their own space. We all loved it!
We recently stayed at this amazing home located right on the river in New Braunfels, TX. We were a group of seven (7) people on a business trip to the area and we usually stay in high end hotels but decided a house would be better for this trip due to logistics. The house has six (6) ensuite king bedrooms and a bunk room with two (2) bunk beds that fit adults, which worked out perfectly for us. The bedrooms are basically six hotel rooms in a house since each room is like a high-end hotel suite with full private bathroom, TV, King bed, etc.... The house is very spacious, spotless and has everything you could need for cooking & entertainment. There is an amazing pool/spa area out back as well as tons of outdoor patio areas but what I really loved was the location right on the river. You stroll down a huge grassy yard to the river which is so gorgeous & peaceful it makes you never want to leave. You can literally walk down the steps from the backyard and hop in the river. My only wish is that we had more time there because I did not want to leave. The owners were very informative and answered any emails almost immediately plus they left us a nice house warming present when we arrived which was greatly appreciated. I cannot think of one bad thing about this property other than the pictures, while good, do not do it justice. It truly is a place that is perfect for a large family or business gathering!!
This home was perfect for our family reunion of 20 people, ranging from a baby to elderly grandparents. Has a very private feel, even though it is close to stores and the highway. Large indoor living space, open kitchen with enough space for us to work on meals together. We loved the large dining room with enough tables and seats for the entire group to eat together. The kitchen is well-stocked. Two sinks and two dishwashers make for easier prep and clean up. Amazing amount of refrigerator and freezer space.All bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms except for the bunk house, but it has easy access to half bath in the hallway or the full bathroom in the PoolHaus. Comfortable beds, spacious bunks. Plenty of storage spaces in cabinets and drawers. Comfortable bedding with plenty of extra blankets.Spacious laundry room with two seats of W&D.Heated pool for additional fee was well-worth it. Plenty of pool towels. Plenty of outdoor seating as well as a large, fenced-in grassy area in the yard for playing outside. We were able to play baseball and football on the large, grassy riverbank below.The management company was responsive and helpful. Offered quick responses. One time when an on-site visit was required, sent maintenance promptly. Maintenance worked quickly and professionally.We highly recommend this property!
We could literally ask for nothing during our stay! Every detail is well cared for in this fabulous home. Everything was beautiful yet homey! It was absolutely spectacular!
Loved everything about this beautiful house!! The rooms were perfect, the hot tub was great, but the location, outside area and river view was so amazing!! Had a wonderful family reunion.
Absolutely wonderful property! Very clean, comfortable beds, and enough space for the extended family in town for a wedding. The pool was amazing in August Texas heat! Hosts were very helpful. Will stay here again if back in town.
This is an amazing property! We’ll definitely rent it again. The house was perfect for our large family, great location and loved the yard. Plenty of room for games and trees for shade.
