Pecan Grove was magical and perfect for our gathering!

Wonderful setting for a family get together!! Many spaces for Clay of all ages and competitions and games! We enjoy being able to walk to downtown! We had an 18 month old with us and having the stroller and highchair option was so handy! We loved the private feel and the layout of the backyard.

Best trip

Pecan Cottage was an absolute delight! There was so much to do, and see, and eat all about town but we still found ourselves back at the house spending every evening in. Highly recommend this house to everyone and we will certainly be booking again when we are back in town!

The best house ever!!!

This is the only house we will ever stay in while visiting New Braunfels. We will wait until it’s available before we make our plans. It’s so walkable to the river and other places. The house is very nice and well equipped. It’s spacious, clean and overall just feels like home. It has a great backyard with games, hot tub, playset and nice patio furniture. We spend half our time outside. Melissa the host is the best! She responds extremely fast and quick to resolve any issues. Our family has made some great memories there. Thank you Melissa!!!

Wonderful place/location!

My large family of 12 stayed at Pecan Cottage in late June. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this adorable place! The house itself was very clean. Fully functioning kitchen, with the outdoor recreation area super fun for all family members! There is a Hobbit hole in the upstairs bedroom that all the big kids were fighting over! Such a great place for sleeping, napping or just having some alone time. The location was amazing! We could walk to the Comal, Schlitterbahn and all restaurants from the house. We will definitely be staying here again!

Centrally located and stocked

Pecan Cottage was everything we could’ve hoped for. We booked this place a year in advance because of the backyard play area! It was amazing to entertain the little ones! The house is perfectly located to anything New Braunfels and Gruene offers. Book it. You won’t regret it!

Very nice home with plenty of room.

We enjoyed our time there. Visited Gruene and drove into San Antonio to the Pearl Brewery area. The home was very spacious and comfortable. The only negative was driving on I-35 which is an absolute nightmare. This made the drive to San Antonio much more tiring than it would otherwise have been. And this is not an isolated occurrence. This also happened to us last year. The owners were available by phone and were very helpful. Whenever you stay here, be sure to bring coffee with you as well as kleenex and a lighter to light the propane grill and fire pit. There is a Keurig but no pods.

Perfect location for a float

Big house with lots of sleeping options. Back yard was very nice, we spent a lot of time out there. Driveway was able to park four cars which was great. Wonderful location! A quick walk to the Prince Solms Park entrance to the river, close walk back up Union from the last public exit, and not far from downtown locations!

Well appointed cottage walking distance to downtown

Traveled with family from East Coast for my nephews wedding and stayed at Pecan Cottage. It was clean and comfortable — outfitted with all we needed for a great stay. Close to venue and river/shopping. Enjoyed the relaxing backyard with games, hot tub and many seating areas - one with refreshing outdoor ceiling fan. The guys enjoyed using their tubes (house has many!) and river shoes to float on the river in our down time. Nieces (3&5)enjoyed the indoor toys and outdoor swing set and slide. Home cool and comfortable with nice beds/bedding. Great family getaway!

Location, Location, Location

This property was tucked away in a residential area, and a perfect location for our needs. The house was close to everything. We spent a couple of days at Schlitterbahn, one day floating down the Guadalupe River and ate at the famous Gristmill Restaurant in historic Greune. The house was adequate for all 11 of us and the home was clean. It was very hot and humid outside during our stay so we didn’t spend a lot of time in the backyard, but the kids enjoyed the playground and games in the backyard. I would recommend this house for a large family. We were able to cook a few meals during our stay. We walked to Schlitterbahn. We had to cross a street and walk through the parking lot, but the front gate was close and it sure beat driving and parking.

Great for families/young kids

If you’re looking for a great house with great amenities located perfectly to do all New Braunfels things (float, water park, shopping, and dining), this should be your pick. We chose this house to help with our very active toddler and it couldn’t have been a better choice. Melissa was communicative the whole time. When we do this again, we will probably use the same house!

A Wonderful Way to Winter

We liked the convenience of the neighborhood. There are lots of restaurants, bakery, coffee hangouts, ice cream shops, Landa Park and Comal River, all within walking distance. I would walk our dog at least 3 miles a day exploring the town, meeting friendly people, checking out historic sites (make sure you visit the hardware store) & counting daily the turtles on the the rock below the dam. My husband swam in the Comal River frequently which is a comfortable 72 degrees year round since it is spring fed. It was a unique experience to see deer wander in the yards and on the golf course feeding on the grass. The house was clean with all the amenities we desired, and Melissa quickly responded to any of our queries. What a great way to avoid the bulk of the Wisconsin winter!
