Perfect weekend getaway
This was a perfect quick getaway for my husband and I to disconnect for the stress of work and reconnect with each other. The property was so quaint and well kept. Our unit was perfect for our needs. Loved hearing the birds outside in the courtyard. The Texas weather cooperated as well, to give us very pleasant temps. And the crowds were less than normal. Fabulous experience. We will be back in the future. Thank you!

We had a great time!!
We love coming to Gruene / New Braunfels area!! My husband and I actually stayed at this property 10 years ago when it was a Bed & Breakfast. It is a little different now being a Vrbo rental, but it is still a great property. It is quite, clean, and lots of wildlife. We loved our trip and will definitely rent here again.

So cute!
We enjoyed our one-night stay. Roomy and comfortable for 2 people. Large bathroom with huge shower. The magnifying mirror in bathroom was a huge plus; I wish all vacation rentals included one! Others mentioned having issues, but we had plenty of hot water. Super convenient to the historic area in Gruene.

Awesome cottage
Spotlessly clean. Listing was 100% on point. Cottage sits on a beautiful property. We arrived right at dusk and were greeted by several deer. Jacuzzi tub was great, but the only negative was not enough hot water. Other than that, this will be our first choice if we come back to the area.

Relaxing place
We enjoyed staying here! It was very close to Gruene and New Braunfels. The cottage was clean and we enjoyed the pool in the evenings. My only issue was the AC could not keep the cottage cool. I understand it’s summer in Texas, but it would take most of the night to cool the room back down from the night before and we ended up having to buy a box fan.

Great place to stay!
The Cottage was a great place to stay for my husband and our two dogs! It was open and quiet and close to everything we wanted to do (Gruene Hall, Gristmill, local shopping, etc.). The openness allowed for us to take our dogs on short walks around The Homestead. We would stay here again!
