Great little cottage - great location

Perfect Location

Very clean and well-kept little house! This house is directly across the street from Schlitterbahn, super easy access. Also a short walk to the city chute on the Comal and a few blocks away from the last public exit. Great spot to stay in walking distance for activities and places to eat.

Great River Trip

Clean house, easy check-in/check-out process. Plenty of room to enjoy outdoor games, nice living space, and comfortable furniture. Super easy to get to the river and <5 minute walk from Comal river exits, if you are going to float! Location is prime, directly across from Schlitterbahn and again SO close to river exits.

Great location, clean

We stayed at the Opa Seidel house in June for two days as part of a family vacation to Schlitterbahn. It was very convenient being across the street from the East entrance. The house had all the essentials including a washer/dryer on site, which was critical with the river water stink. The beds were comfortable and we used the pull out couch too. House was clean and tidy. The carport was also nice for loading/unloading. Would definitely stay again!

Weekend getaway

We had a great experience at the Opa cottage, I was super impressed with the cleanliness! The cottage was small but perfect for our smaller group the house was packed with everything you may need. The location was prime for our day trip at Schlitterbahn. One thing I would note is that it’s shared parking you only have two spaces which wasn’t a problem since we only had two cars this trip. We will definitely return and are excited to see about renting both properties for our next family trip.

German getaway

We had a great weekend stay in New Braunfels for Wurstfest. The house was quaint and walking distance to many shops and restaurants in the area. There was a little difficulty in getting the door unlocked initially, however the issue was resolved and the rental manager was responsive in communications.

Very cute and clean property

The owner was very welcoming and was always available with any questions. We were worried at first with Schlitterbahn being across the street, but ended up being good people watching :), and we did not have noise from the water park either. Great spot!

About the host

Hosted by Christine Seidel

Host profile image
Hello. My name is Christine Seidel, and I have been working as a Texas Realtor® since 1999. I am currently semi-retired and only work for my family. My husband, John, encouraged me to pursue a career in real estate, and in February 2003, I opened my own real estate company called Seidel Properties and Resort Management Company. In 2012, I sold the company to my big brother and sister-in-law, Robert and Dinah.
Since Covid and Snow-vid, I've been feeling a bit bored and decided to return to the vacation/resort business again with our personal properties in New Braunfels and Aggieland (Bryan, TX). I remain active with my volunteer work with different organizations such as the New Braunfels Chamber of Commerce, Comal County Emergency Service District #7 (ESD7), Braunfels Foundation Trust, Leadership New Braunfels, New Braunfels City University, National Association of REALTORS, and Texas REALTORS.

In my free time, I love playing tennis, hanging out by the lake, spending time outdoors, taking my dogs for a ride in "their jeep," and enjoying the company of family and good friends. I believe in enjoying life to the fullest.

Why they chose this property

The location is just a few steps away from the Schlitterbahn Waterpark in New Braunfels, TX.
Willkommen (Welcome) to New Braunfels, where rivers flow freely, People play, and the Sun is Hot in the Summer.
I have owned vacation overnight rentals since 1999 and my own management company since 2005. At one point in my management career, I managed close to a hundred condos and homes for people all over the United States. My goal was to retire when I hit a hundred properties and sell my company. I did just that: I traveled and worked my “real job” selling real estate. I left four of my resort overnight homes with the new management company until 2020, when I got bored and needed something to do. That’s when I decided to start Vacations by Seidel Properties and manage my properties. I like meeting people, talking with them on the phone, or even just sending text messages. I think the guests like the connection of knowing someone cares about them staying in my home. This is why I do what I do, and Vacations by Seidel Properties is what it is.
So come, play in our Rivers, swim in our Lakes, or Relax and Enjoy our City.

What makes this property unique

*** Due to recent changes in the 3rd party reservation/booking sites, they do not collect the correct amount of Hotel Occupancy Taxes (HOT). They should be collecting 6% for State and 7% for City and in some places County 2.75%. Upon booking travelers may receive an additional payment request for the HOT that is required until this issue is corrected. My apologies for the inconvenience.
