Head into New Braunfels to experience Hill Country-inspired cuisine, boot scoot over to Gruene Hall for a good time, spend a night under the stars at a local outdoor concert venue, or take in a movie or play at a local theatre. Finding something to do in town won't be any problem at all, choosing will be the hard part!

3 Generation Family Vacay

We had a Fischer park day, a Schlitterbahn day, and a tube the Guadalupe river day. We also enjoyed evening swims in the river jumping off the boat dock. We grilled dinner one night. Location and house were perfect for our group of 7. 3 kids, 2 adults and 2 Srs.

Perfect Family Getaway

We enjoyed staying at this property. The large backyard was a plus for playing games and the fire pit was wonderful. The large open kitchen, dining and living room were a big plus. We recommend this property for a fun getaway.

Decent Accomodations

We enjoyed our stay in this roomy home. The home needs some updating especially in the upstairs restroom. This home provided a nice amount of space for our large family. Location to New Brunfels attractions is good.

Family had a great time.

The home was clean, spacious and had a very nice large - equipped kitchen. The yard was large down to the back water. Only two improvements needed. Better mattresses and secure fencing at back by the water. Our family had a great time.

Pecan shores retreat ❤️

This property was just perfect. The house plan is open and spacious. The home is cozy and comfortable. Everything was clean and well taken care of. I met the owner because he was wrapping pipes for the upcoming freeze that was about to take place. He was very kind and welcoming. The outside area is great and we even used the fire pit for s'mores. I would highly suggest this property!

Great Time

My wife and I and 4 other couples stayed here and had a great time. The house was big enough to accommodate all 10 of us and had everything we needed. The only complaint we had was the noise of the AC in one of the upstairs bedrooms. It sounded windy when the door was closed. Altogether we had a great time!

Perfect layout

We used the property the weekend of my son’s wedding. The layout of the home was perfect for what we needed. Overall the property was clean though I had to sweep three inches of leaves off the porch. A little disappointed the backdrop was as weathered as it was.

Family Vacation 2022

The house was perfect for our family. We had everything we needed and plenty of room for our family of 7. My only disappointment was the overgrown river access. The weeds were very high. We were unable to enjoy the river area. That area looked nothing like the posted pictures.

Family Vacation

This home was nice. The location was peaceful, yet close to town and attractions. We enjoyed using our kayaks & tubes from the boat dock. It was nice to have a dishwasher, laundry facilities available and linens provided. The mattresses could use upgrades and the sheets would not stay on the king size bed. The water heater did not provide adequate hot water for our family of 8. Several of us had to take cool showers in the downstairs bath and the faucet temperature adjustment was somewhat temperamental. I probably just missed it, but I do not recall the website description noting that this was a two-story accommodation. It worked for this trip!
