Loved this place! Perfect for our girls weekend! So charming! Has everything you need. Very clean and the beds were super comfortable. The best part was the double front porch swings! We solved many of the world’s problems out there. Loved watching all the deer. Location can’t be beat. Short walk to lots of cute restaurants and shops. Can’t wait to go back!

Absolutely loved staying in New Braunfels at Leslie’s home! House was well equipped, clean, and so comfortable! Loved swinging on the front porch as much as possible, and the home itself was so comfortable. It felt like home. The location - perfect! Easy, enjoyable walk to all New Braunfels fun - the river, restaurants, pubs - and an easy Uber drive to Gruene! Leslie was super helpful and communicative! She left folders of things to do and see! We will be back!!

We went to New Braunsfels to celebrate my bday with a group of friends. We loved the proximity and easy walk to the Prince Solms hotel and all the downtown restaurants etc. The house was very cute, cozy, and had a very nice front patio where we all loved sitting and watching the numerous deers. We enjoyed our stay and Leslie was so nice and a great host.

This was an amazing, adorable getaway in the perfect location. We loved this home, it was beautiful in every way. We saw deer everyday in the back yard and across the street, we loved having coffee on the front porch swing, and we could walk to market street for shopping and dining. I loved the craftsmanship of this older style home with modern convenience.

Very clean and charming “Grandma’s House” (meant in the best possible way). Loved the kitchen table area, quiet and perfect location, and hanging out on the front porch swings. The best part of stay was watching the many deer and fawns in the neighborhood.

Cute historic home near downtown

Stayed over the 4th for an annual tubing trip with family. Due to weather we were unable to do much tubing, but loved the convenience of walking to shopping and restaurants! Dogs loved the backyard and making friends with the local deer. Home is older but very charming!

This house is located near downtown New Braunfels and the river. You can easily walk to restaurants/bars and shopping downtown. The river is around the corner. We enjoyed the front porch swings and dining al fresco on the back deck.
