About this property

Welcome to New Braunfels located minutes outside of Gruene in the hill country!

Scenic place in the hill country, just minutes from historic Gruene, Texas, A 3/3 country home surrounded by huge native oak trees on one acre in the Texas Hill County, just outside the New Braunfels City limits. This charming rustic home offers a large living room with white stone fireplace. Open kitchen with granite counter tops and bar overlooking the living area. Large dining table seats up to 8 people. The home offers three bedrooms, 2 with attached baths. The master bedroom provides an oversized king bed, with attached bathroom with large bathtub, separate shower, toilet and his and her sinks. The second bedroom providers a queen bed with access to an attached bathroom with shower and toilet. The third bedroom offers a double bed in addition to a twin bed too and adjacent bathroom across the hall with shower/tub. The exterior of the home offers an outdoor bar, stone fire pit & exterior fireplace with plenty of seating and room to enjoy nature on this one-acre property. The best part of the property is the multiple century old oak trees in front yard which provide plenty of shade for playing outdoors in the Texas summer heat. But it's a close call to the view of the Texas Sunset from the large covered outdoor back patio as you watch the windmill turn located on the west side of the property.

Home is located just outside of Gruene Hall, with quick access to tubing on the Comal or Guadalupe River, Shopping at the Premium Outlets in San Marcos, boating in Canyon Lake or quick access to the Texas State University campus.

TXST Family Weekend

We rented this house with our friends to visit with our college kids for family weekend at TXST. It was a great location to get where we needed to go. The house was better than the pictures, and we loved it. Will definitely stay again.

Cute - complete with chickens!!

Place was great, felt like I walked into my own home. Clean but lived in so I could relax. The outdoor space made for amazing dinner picnics and the location made for an easy trip to the water park each morning and out of the way enough that it felt secluded! The farm fresh eggs and massive strudel were a nice touch.

Perfect House! Perfect Location!

Not only was this house cozy and clean, but the location was perfect! Perfect distance to Gruene, downtown New Braunsfuls and Canyon Lake. Perfect for two couples as two bedrooms had in suite updated bathrooms. Back porch was adorable and we enjoyed watching for wildlife while sipping our coffee. Wish we weren’t so busy so we could have spent more time enjoying the house. Highly recommend!

Wonderful Place to Stay

We stayed here for a week and had such a wonderful time. Gruene is very close and such a cute little historic town with shopping and restaurants. The house was very comfortable and clean. We sat on the back porch after long days of sightseeing which was so relaxing. Vicki was so helpful to my questions and responded right away. We loved the basket of local goodies, wine and fresh eggs too. Very happy we chose to stay here.

Family tubing weekend.

We had a great stay. The house is clean and comfortable and very spacious. The owner provided some added touches that made our stay even better. Highly recommend this house if you’d like to enjoy New Braunfels and also have a quiet place to escape in the evenings and enjoy more of a cabin in the woods experience.

The house is very hot and the beds are uncomfortable

We get there and see cameras all around the house, walk in see a not that says please don't put the air conditioner below 74 to me that is weird to tell your guess that are paying to stay there what they can't put the temperature on but ok whatever. The things was we kept it on 74 but the house was so hot that the temperature was 83 inside the house. We stayed in the middle of July and we had to go outside to cool off. I text the owner and she said there was nothing they can do about it until after we left. The owner said she would reimburses some money back but here it is two weeks later and I haven't seen a reimbursement. The house was cleaning and nice set up but the cameras need to go , you feel weird like someone is watching you, the beds are uncomfortable you feel like you are digging out of the hole from the middle of the bed at night and they need a bigger air conditioner unit that works 83 is to hot.

Wonderful house!

This house was perfect for our Memorial Day weekend friends trip!! The house was beautiful inside and out and very well kept. So many things we loved about this house starting with the 3 bed 3 bath. The backyard was amazing such a great atmosphere, if we would have brought our kids it was a very kid friendly home! The kitchen and living room were the perfect size with lots of space. Vicki was absolutely so welcoming!! She responded quickly and answered all of our questions and very accommodating!! We would love to stay here again!!

About the host

Hosted by Vicki Ploch

Host profile image
This home is a special place full of cherished memories of 4 generations of family. My hope is that your visit here will hold great memories with your family & friends too.

Why they chose this property

This property is situated on 1 1/2 acres. Your in the country, but close to the fun little town of Gruene.

What makes this property unique


The sights & sounds of the Texas Hill Country welcomes plenty of wildlife sightseeing. You'll enjoy the morning roll call from Rowdy the Schlichting Haus rooster, and his friends in our outdoor chicken coop. Along with whitetail deer grazing in the back acre as you enjoy the outdoor patio.

The spacious yard is fenced, and one side of the fence is an original stacked rock wall unique to this area & this special place I call home.
