About this property

The Guadalupe River right in your backyard! River living at its best!

W.O.R.D Permit- L1350
Nestled on a hill overlooking the scenic Guadalupe River in New Braunfels, Texas, the Pecan Creek Cottage beckons you to a Texan oasis where the vacation vibes are as plentiful as the trout released into the river each year. This enchanting retreat is not just a vacation rental; it's a haven for those seeking a perfect blend of relaxation and excitement.

At the rear of the property, a sprawling deck adorned with ample seating invites you to bask in the warmth of the Texan sun. A grill and a fire pit beckon for lazy afternoons and evenings filled with laughter and the clinking of cold beers. A short stroll down a set of stone stairs leads you to the river's edge, where floating and wading become spontaneous adventures waiting to unfold.

The Pecan Creek Cottage is a symphony of Texan chic, seamlessly blending rustic charm with modern comfort. Step inside, and you'll find a living room adorned with cozy couches and a flat-screen television, setting the stage for relaxation after a day of river activities. The kitchen, equipped for quick breakfasts or elaborate family feasts, opens up to a dining area with a captivating view of the river. A window into the wet bar and lounge, complete with a stone fireplace, adds a touch of sophistication to your vacation home.

The master bedroom boasts a Tempurpedic King bed, ensuring a restful night's sleep with picturesque hill country views. The accompanying full bathroom exudes simplicity and chic elegance, offering the perfect sanctuary for unwinding after a day on the river. The second bedroom features a queen Tempurpedic bed, while a set of French doors reveal an additional full-sized futon for larger family gatherings. A second bathroom down the hall radiates a light and fresh ambiance.

Beyond the riverside haven, New Braunfels awaits with an array of activities to suit every taste. Explore the charming downtown area with its plethora of shops, restaurants, museums, and theaters. Dive into the waters of Landa Park, rent paddle boats, or enjoy a picnic. Embrace the thrill of Schlitterbahn Water Park or indulge in wine and beer tasting at local wineries and breweries. For music enthusiasts, Whitewater Amphitheater and River Road Ice House are just a short drive away.

Venture to Gruene, home to the historic Gruene Hall, where music and dancing captivate visitors. Delight your senses at the Gristmill Restaurant, perched alongside the Guadalupe River. Embark on an underground adventure at Natural Bridge Caverns or soar through the treetops on a zipline. Overlook Park offers a beach area, swimming, and nature trails, providing a picturesque retreat just a short drive from Canyon Lake and its mesmerizing dam.

For those seeking the ultimate river experience, the Lone Star Float House awaits with tube and kayak rentals, shuttle services, and a laid-back bar and grill atmosphere. A stone's throw away.

Escape to the Pecan Creek Cottage, where the Guadalupe River whispers tales of adventure, and every moment is infused with the spirit of a Texan getaway. Your dream vacation begins here, where the river's embrace and the charm of New Braunfels create memories that last a lifetime.

Pleasant stay by the River
Enjoyed our respite at this lovely home. My sister and I took time away to relax and heal from our mother’s passing. We enjoyed the scenery and quiet peaceful atmosphere. The home was well maintained and met our expectations. Hope to return again soon.

River house
We enjoyed the style and location of this house, very nice back porch. The only thing that concerned my husband and I was the musty smell. Air vents looked like mold was in and around vents. As a chronic asthmatic it was a concern. Love the place except for that. Neighbor was so kind to us that was an unexpected pleasure. I got sick and we cut trip short. I ended up in hospital for a few days.

River House Weekend
Love the location except for the proximity of the campground next door, which had their main access immediately next door to the house. However we did not have any issues with the neighbors. We prefer a few streets away but we had a pleasant time and enjoyable time including the beautiful and breathtaking view of the river which was stunning. House appears to have had a resident a while ago who smoked not recent but lingering scent.

Location great, but house is dated
The location and proximity to river was great. Really the cons are with the inside of the house. It’s really dated and it doesn’t feel very clean. The beds have these big comforters that I’m not sure get sanitized or cleaned. Mattress was comfortable. Kitchen microwave was broken and fridge magnetic strip was pulling off. Freezer was leaking too. Sink in master bath was clogged. Neighboring tippees were quite loud at night.

Back Yard Beauty
Checking in process was a piece of cake. The house has its own charm and loved the trout decor. Inside had a few bugs… outside yard could be cleaned up. I swept the whole area out back because we had a 21 month old with us and didn’t want her putting stuff in her mouth. The back yard view is beautiful. We bbq’d and had a fire pit and did lots of fishing. I would stay again.

Dirtest home ever
The location and views are great. The home not so much. We arrived to find a dirty nasty mop head sitting on the door step. When we entered the home there were dead bugs stuck to the all over the home. They claimed the home was just cleaned that day. There was hair in the showers, the kitchen faucet was falling off and oh boy the cabinets were feeled with roach droppings. The outside of the property could use some cleaning up as well. There was glass and cans along the watets edge, so we didn't even get to enjoy the water which was the reason we booked this property. To spend the type of money we did we expected a much nicer stay. Oh and dont bother trying to complain to management, Cheryl doesn’t care and will basically call you a liar and claim she has pictures from the cleaning crew where the house was clean. Lies Lies Lies. DO NOT RENT THIS PROPERTY OR FROM THIS PROPERTY OWNER

Hot Summer Cool River Break
For the most part we enjoy the stay at this cottage. There are a few things that could improve the stay at this place. We planned to grill in the BBQ gas grill, but we realized that the propane bottle was empty. We ended up re-filling the propane tank to be able to full fill our plan. The sign posted on the Microwave did not make sense in regards "under construction" Kitchen faucet so loose that it almost came loose a couple of times. We are not sure why this has not been fixed. We stay during the work week and it was nice and quiet. Overall we can do this again some other time. After all we want is peace. Love and respect one and other.

Dirty House
We did not stay at the property, the floors where covered in dead insects, especially roaches. The kitchen stunk like something was decaying, which we discovered when we opened one of the cabinets where a mop and other items where stored along with more dead roaches and dead flies. We sent photos and video and asked the management to help locate another property. The management sent this message,"The dead bugs indicate to me that the pest control is working. I understand why you might not want to stay, but we wont be moving you" We have repeatedly requested a refund , but have been denied. We have rented VRBO homes all over the US and foreign countries and have never been treated with such disrespect,and dismissive actions by a landlord as we where in this case.

Great view of the Guadalupe River
The first impression was the irritating worn-out lock which took numerous attempts to get into the house. Not surprising after reading reviews from previous renters who had the same problem. Surprising that it was still like that.
