Perfect for our big families
Such an easy check in process! This property was perfect for our big families to all stay together while having plenty of our own space. We were very nervous for our stay as we are very “picky”individuals but we 10/10 would recommend this property! Incredible views with easy access to swim in the Guadalupe river and big deck to sit near water! We enjoyed every bit of the water activities provided and surrounding! It was very convenient to float the comal river as well. Would definitely book again for our next trip!

Celibrated our 50th Wedfing Anniversary
We loved your home. Thank you! We had a wonderful time with our children and grand children and great grand children. We did some swimming, kayaking, game playing, grilling and cooking. We used the back deck that overlooks the river for our 50th Wedding Anniversary celebration where we repeated our vows in front of our gamily.

Big slope to river
The place was clean and the beds are comfortable. Furniture has some wear which you want to make sure you disclose to property management or you get charged. From the pictures, we didn’t realize there was a steep slope to the river. Not friendly for seniors. And all bathrooms are tub/showers and two are soaker jacuzzi tubs so they were deep. Also, not friendly for seniors. Otherwise, it was a good rental with lots of room for everyone. And we enjoyed the Foosball table in the playroom. Great rental for younger people.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a party of 10 in the rental and had more than enough space. We loved the big kitchen and dining room. The home being on the water was our biggest selling point so we could swim. We had room for our 6 trucks to park as well.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House was nice. Plenty of room for all of us. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen a nice size. Outside was beautiful! The only issue I have is that I wish someone would have gone in before we arrived to pick up all the roaches in the tubs and in the floor.

Incredibly close to the city, and on the river too!
Loved the variety of spaces! Sprawling decks overlooking the river. Meandering common areas which accommodate the varied interests, and separate conversations, of a large group. The upstairs master bedroom is huge! Check-in was a cinch, as was check-out.

Great trip
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was spacious and the yard was enjoyable. We had 4 adults and 7 kids and plenty of room for everyone. The river was low so made the dock area a little more challenging to enter. Enjoyed the deck areas and kayaks. The rental was clean and had everything we needed. Our only complaint is the mattresses were very squeaky and old. A couple of them need to be replaced.

Great location on the river, convenient location
The house was very convenient to everything we visited. Shirt distance to Schlitterbahn, Comal river tubing, restaurants, and grocery stores. The house is old and needs some updating, but was clean. The air conditioner was set at 70 when we arrived, but read 78. The property manager sent an AC repairman fairly quickly and the problem was resolved, same with a clog in the drain of the upstairs bathroom. The house was roomy for 9 guests. Although we didn’t use them, the property provides kayaks, floats, and life jackets. There is ample parking.

Weekend stay
Cons: The river access of this location was not very kid friendly at all. The kids loved playing down the hill but we did not feel safe letting them get into the water. The kitchen dish washer does not clean the dishes at all. We had to hand wash everything after we ran a cycle. Pros: The patio/deck was great for our late night hang outs and it was perfect for our large 3 family gathering. It also was very close to everything we could of needed to get to during our stay

Plenty of Room for a family gathering
Over all the home fit our needs for our family trip to the river. The ac in the home, mainly the upstairs was very uncomfortable trying to sleep at night. It did not get below 75* until after around midnight or so, still then it would only cool to 73*, 74*. Only (1) fan was provided for the (2) rooms upstairs. The AC vents down stairs leaked water/condensation the whole time we were there. The home is a much older home with an weird/old smell (very strong) in the stairway inside the home. There are also not outside fans.

Family graduatuon celebration
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We celebrated my daughter's graduation during our stay amd the house was perfect for our multi generational family. Everyone had their own space yet we all had a common area to spend time together. The kitchen was pretty well stocked for preparing meals. There were plenty of linens for everyone. The expectations were laid out well and easy to understand. We enjoyed our stay and would consider going back again. The only real negative is the yard getting to the water is a hike. Once you get down there you really don't want to have to make too many trips back up. It would be difficult for someone elder or in poor health.

River Fun
The river is fun and really nice right at the house. The house is very spacious for a large family or group BUT if you want a cool air conditioned house, forget it! The back of house had a horrible window unit that doesn’t cook and the dude room has a window unit that doesn’t work. The upstairs took 3 days to cool down. It finally cooled off when we were leaving. The owners need to invest some of the rents into this house. The a/c vents drip on to the couch and the whole house smells musty and needs to be painted. Out of 3 TV’s, we could not get one to work. On the good side, it had lots of space and several refrigerators. Tons of nice decking and new stairs going down to river. We enjoyed the swings and tubes and kajaks. We did enjoy the house even with the problems.

Texas River Haus
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We recently stayed at the home, Texas River Haus, in New Braunfels,Tx. The home couldn’t have been in a better location! We are in a drought in South Texas but there was plenty of refreshing water in the Guadalupe. The home provided kayaks For our enjoyment, and boy where they a big hit with my grandsons and daughters . The older, majestic home was very clean and organized. Such a beautiful property with beautiful trees and greenery plus the home itself had two living rooms, two dining rooms, two kitchens and four relaxing , comfy bedrooms , was more then enough for my small family of Eight . Plenty of room to be all together or for a little privacy. We would definitely stay here again , in fact , as we where packing up to come home my youngest grandson and granddaughter wanted to come back in two weeks and stay in this exact home. It was a wonderful weekend and New Braunfels Escapes helped so much to make it that way ! Thank you for a great end of summer blast!

Pros & Cons
The property has a fun rustic vibe in a great location, but requires a little maintenance and cleaning to be a truly outstanding. Upon our arrival we found the kitchen area wasn’t fully cleaned, with 2 dead cockroaches on the floor and the refrigerator was covered in grease and rust looking like it hadn’t been cleaned in years. It really should be replaced. The air conditioning for the second floor wasn’t able to properly cool. In order to be remotely comfortable when sleeping at night, my wife and I had to sleep without using the blanket or top sheet. Mind you, she’s one of those people who always feels cold, so as to give you some perspective. The rear deck area could also use some looking after. We found a few nails that weren’t flush with the deck boards that could easily cut someone’s foot if they barefoot. If these things were addressed, we would definitely stay here again.
