This is our fourth annual trip for the New Braunfels area with our four kids (8, 6, 4 and 10 months). First time to stay at this house, and we will totally stay here every time if possible. The house was the perfect size, great location, peaceful, clean, etc. From the moment of opening the door, there was thought and care with a little note, some snacks, soap, etc. I can’t recommend this house enough. The host was very responsive when asked a question.

Family trip

The amazing host was so on top of everything! The communication was top notch. We had our fur babys with us, they are big dogs, and they were ok with that. Our dogs are like our children and very well behaved! We were welcomed with a sweet note on the kitchen counter and treats!!! Yes treats!!! The bedrooms and bathrooms were so clean and it felt like home. It’s a very quiet neighborhood on the outer part of town. We will truly be using this host again next time we come to the area. Thank you so much for making this so simple.

Spring break In Texas Hills

This home was a perfect get-away for us over spring break. WE LOVED our time away. Being close enough to enjoy the Riverwalk of downtown San Antonio but also loved visiting the natural caverns. The house had all the comforts we needed, a place to savor family time together. THANK YOU! The house was perfect for us.

Peace & Quiet

This place has SO much to offer. We were in town for a basketball tournament and this house had everything for the much needed relaxation that isn’t available at a hotel. The smell of a freshly cleaned house immediately hit us when we walked in. Next we found a sweet welcome note and pastries. The house was stocked with all the necessities needed for our stay. It was a quick drive into town for a bite to eat. If we make it back to San Antonio we will definitely be back. Thank you for making us feel so welcome!!

Great Place to Stay Near San Antonio, Excellent Property Owner

I had an incredible stay at this beautiful home! Nestled in a peaceful, country-like setting yet close to all the amenities and attractions of San Antonio, this home is the perfect blend of serenity and convenience. It’s well-suited for a family or small group, with plenty of space—three comfy bedrooms, including a luxurious king bed in the master suite, and two modern bathrooms.The living area is spacious, and the kitchen is well-equipped for preparing meals. The outdoor space, including a deck and porch, was fantastic for relaxing in the evenings.We were also a reasonable drive to attractions like the Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch, Natural Bridge Caverns, and The DoSeum, a must-visit for families with kids. It’s an amazing children’s museum, filled with interactive exhibits that our kids absolutely loved!Overall, this home exceeded our expectations, offering both comfort and convenience. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a peaceful retreat with easy access to the excitement of San Antonio!
