About this property

Great location in Downtown New Braunfels within walking distance to everything!

Stay and experience all the charm and nostalgia of 1925, but with modern amenities in this cozy 1,100 sq ft, recently updated and restored historic home.

Whether it's a quick weekend getaway, or an extended work stay, this home provides all you need to make your stay most enjoyable. The primary bedroom has a king bed, two closets -one with drawer space, a lighted mirror on the vanity, and built-in chargers in the lamps. The second bedroom has a queen bed, closet with drawer space, a cozy desk with a lighted makeup mirror, and built in charging plugs on the lamps. The third bedroom has a twin over queen bunkbed with lights over each bed, outlets and charging plugs next to the bedsides, a dresser and fun wall hooks for hanging clothes. All bedrooms have smart tvs with access to YouTube tv , charging ports for your electronics, and white noise machines with blue tooth capability to help you unwind.

In the living room there is a smart tv with YouTube tv, a DVD player with a few “classics” and multiple board games.

The kitchen is equipped with all necessary appliances and most commonly used cookware, serve ware and dinnerware for 6. A popcorn maker for those late night movies, and a waffle maker for those early morning breakfasts will make you feel right at home. A Keurig Duo Plus, Nespresso Pixie and French Press will have your coffee and espresso needs covered. We offer three k cup varieties of local Texas flavors, plus a My K-cup reusable filter, both decaf and regular Nespresso espresso pods, and Fresh Roasted Breakfast Blend coffee to get your day started. Plain cream, French Vanilla cream, sugar, Sugar in the Raw, Sweet n Low, Stevia, and honey sweeteners are also provided.

Enjoy that morning coffee relaxing on the deck, or lounging in the hammock in the tree covered backyard. You can also grill lunch or dinner on the Weber gas grill while playing cornhole or giant Jenga with family and friends. The Hideaway Grill and Bar is located directly behind us. If you decide cooking dinner is not conducive to your relaxation, a short stroll through the parking lot and you will have food, drinks and a few playscapes for the kiddos to enjoy. The Hideaway often provides live music or a dj that can be heard on our deck, so there is no need for a Bluetooth speaker to convert the deck to a private dance floor!

Downtown and all it has to offer is just two walkable blocks away. Historic Gruene and Gruene Hall are a quick 10 minute drive. You will also be approximately one hour to Austin and 30 minutes to San Antonio via the easy access to I-35.

Whatever the reason for your visit to New Braunfels, make your stay more enjoyable by staying at the 1925 Castell House!

Perfect Home!

My family of 5 stayed during the National Championship for Men’s College Basketball. Our host had a Gator flag hanging for us across the porch upon arrival! Such a sweet gesture. The house is impeccable…I wish their cleaning service could come to my house! No details are overlooked. Lovely furnishings and comfortable beds. We will most certainly stay again when we are back in the area. Thank you SO very much for your kindness, hospitality and sharing your home with our family!

Beautiful, well cared for home. It lacks for nothing. Literally, everything is at your fingertips. The homeowner has great taste. You feel instantly welcomed the second you walk through the door. I don't remember if it was mentioned by other guests but there is a bar behind the home that plays loud music late into the evenings. If you can't beat them, maybe you can try joining 'em.

Lovely Historical Yet Modern Home

My husband and I had a wonderful stay in this 3 bedroom one bath home with all the modern conveniences. I do not know why anyone would stay in a hotel when you can have the character, charm and square footage of this home. We walked to restaurants and enjoyed the WassalFest in New Braunfels, as well as visiting with family in the surrounding San Antonio area. I would definitely stay here again!!!

The cutest Vrbo I’ve ever stayed at! The host thought of everything—from snacks to all the little details you might need during your stay. The house was spotless, in a perfect location, and truly felt like a home away from home. On top of that, the host was so thoughtful and even let us know about a nearby estate sale, which was such a fun addition to our trip. I can’t say enough good things about this place and the overall experience!

Great spring break stay

This home is exactly as advertised, although the pictures don’t do it justice. It is featured in a magazine for its historic uniqueness. We only had 2 adults and one kiddo, so probably more room than we needed but each bedroom was a good size and could easily sleep a larger family with 1 king bed, a queen and then a 3rd bedroom with a queen and a twin. The kitchen had everything you would need to cook any meal and the back yard is an incredible place to end the day. Super easy walk to the coffee shops two doors down and the main area for restaurants in NB. Tons of driveway space for parking and the gate can be closed for privacy. It was our daughter’s first time to NB and she doesn’t want to stay anywhere else. There is a restaurant/ bar right behind the house that has an incredible atmosphere and has a live band we were able to enjoy from the privacy of the back yard (or you can walk out the back gate and go directly in). It was also a lot of fun watching the hustle and bustle of all the people going to the farmers market Saturday morning from the comfort of our front porch. Made for great people watching. 10/10.

Nice little place in the perfect spot

This house was perfect for our stay. Great location that had small neighborhood feel but close to everything we needed/wanted. Sitting on the back patio at night and listening to the live bands from the restaurant behind us was the cherry on top.

Everything about this house was perfect. My family and I took a road trip to New Braunfels for my birthday and stayed at this property. Communication with property manager was quick and friendly and my family could not stop commenting on how perfect everything was. The property has plenty of parking space and an excellent outdoor setup with bbq grill and seating area. The home furnishings and amenities made us all feel right at home.

About the host

Hosted by Melissa

Host profile image
I'm a New Braunfels native with a background in historical renovation and interior design. I love historic homes and the stories they have to tell.

Why they chose this property

This home had undergone many "builder-grade" updates throughout the decades that had stripped the historic uniqueness and qualities from both the interior and exterior. My goal for all my homes is to make them function for today's way of life, while preserving the historic elements that set them apart from the current streamlined designs often found in communities today.

What makes this property unique

We are only the fifth owner of this adorable Craftsman and look forward to celebrating its 100 year anniversary in 2025.
