We had the best time at this house. Comfortable beds. Great views. Fantastic backyard. Terry, the host, so friendly and lovely! Made me miss my grandpa talking to him when he called. Definitely recommend this house! We rented a van and traveled as a group to Gruene and New Braunfels one night and it was only about a 25 min ride. This house is perfect for a small group of friends or family wanting a relaxing vacation!

Spacious Rental for Large Group

My family, 4 adults and 3 children (children's ages 9, 5, and 2) enjoyed our stay at the Looking Glass home. Terry, our host was very kind and accommodating before and during our stay. The home's arrangement was perfect because my daughter and her family had the upstairs and my husband and I took the downstairs bedroom. That gave everyone plenty of room and privacy. We were glad to see the TV was set up with YouTube TV so we could watch football and the baseball playoffs! Some simple things could be addressed (ie.new cushions on outdoor furniture) to update this rental, but it didn't impact our wonderful time at this rental.

Great stay for a large group/family

The house was so big, beautiful, and spacious. Plenty of towels and kitchen utensils and appliances. We really enjoyed the upstairs deck and hot tub. But we made use of the entire house. (Great bar). The location was good for floating the river, schlitterbahn, and natural bridge caverns. (All within 30 minutes or less). The info book was full of good info. We are out once at GrannyD’s and it was really good. Rest of the time we cooked at the house. 10/10 would recommend! Terry was quick to respond to any questions I had. I would definitely stay there again. Everyone loved it !
