Very Charming Place

First, the property was as neat as a pin. It was VERY clean and well appointed. The house has been updated but all of the old doors, trim, and hardware has been left intact. The beds were very comfortable and the decor is very well done. I want to buy this house!! All the workmanship is top notch. The old floors barely make a squeak! I thought it was going to be a bit noisy with the train tracks so close and the restaurant behind the house hosts a live band but the music stopped at 10:00 on the dot and the train was all but unnoticeable. I really like the pull-through driveway (we attended a vendor market in Gruene and had our trailer with us). The gates for the driveway are a little wonky but I’m just being a bit picky. What a neat house and comfortable place to relax in where there are so many things to do within walking distance. I’m serious…I’d love to own this charming little house! Thank you for an awesome weekend.

A Real Gem

This is 5 stars by every metric. The house measures up to every pretty picture you see. One of our daughters lives in New Braunfels and she was able to show us great things within walking distance of the house. And so many other attractions are a very short drive. My wife and two other adult daughters who came with us from Katy were ooh, ahh, as soon as we walked in. Cozy and well stocked with all the amenities, while keeping a historical charm. Highly recommended.

Perfect Home!

My family of 5 stayed during the National Championship for Men’s College Basketball. Our host had a Gator flag hanging for us across the porch upon arrival! Such a sweet gesture. The house is impeccable…I wish their cleaning service could come to my house! No details are overlooked. Lovely furnishings and comfortable beds. We will most certainly stay again when we are back in the area. Thank you SO very much for your kindness, hospitality and sharing your home with our family!

Beautiful, well cared for home. It lacks for nothing. Literally, everything is at your fingertips. The homeowner has great taste. You feel instantly welcomed the second you walk through the door. I don't remember if it was mentioned by other guests but there is a bar behind the home that plays loud music late into the evenings. If you can't beat them, maybe you can try joining 'em.

Great spring break stay

This home is exactly as advertised, although the pictures don’t do it justice. It is featured in a magazine for its historic uniqueness. We only had 2 adults and one kiddo, so probably more room than we needed but each bedroom was a good size and could easily sleep a larger family with 1 king bed, a queen and then a 3rd bedroom with a queen and a twin. The kitchen had everything you would need to cook any meal and the back yard is an incredible place to end the day. Super easy walk to the coffee shops two doors down and the main area for restaurants in NB. Tons of driveway space for parking and the gate can be closed for privacy. It was our daughter’s first time to NB and she doesn’t want to stay anywhere else. There is a restaurant/ bar right behind the house that has an incredible atmosphere and has a live band we were able to enjoy from the privacy of the back yard (or you can walk out the back gate and go directly in). It was also a lot of fun watching the hustle and bustle of all the people going to the farmers market Saturday morning from the comfort of our front porch. Made for great people watching. 10/10.

Lovely Historical Yet Modern Home

My husband and I had a wonderful stay in this 3 bedroom one bath home with all the modern conveniences. I do not know why anyone would stay in a hotel when you can have the character, charm and square footage of this home. We walked to restaurants and enjoyed the WassalFest in New Braunfels, as well as visiting with family in the surrounding San Antonio area. I would definitely stay here again!!!

The cutest Vrbo I’ve ever stayed at! The host thought of everything—from snacks to all the little details you might need during your stay. The house was spotless, in a perfect location, and truly felt like a home away from home. On top of that, the host was so thoughtful and even let us know about a nearby estate sale, which was such a fun addition to our trip. I can’t say enough good things about this place and the overall experience!

One of the best

I’ve stayed in a lot of vrbo houses and this one was one of the best! The host has thought of EVERYTHING you might need for a good stay. We loved the house and it was in a wonderful spot. We walked to breakfast and the farmers market. The hideaway was behind the house which was neat to walk out to that and to hear the music, but some nights it was rather loud. She did provide sound machines and ear plugs that we used! The candle store across the road was also a wonderful spot, the kids made their own candles! It was a lovely stay, thank you!

Perfect location & Trendy Decor

We pretty much walked everywhere except the Float-In and even that was just a $10 uber ride. The decor is also SO freaking cute!! The backyard is cool too and you can hear the music from the bar/restaurant right behind it BUT somehow you can’t hear the music inside which was nice too. Melissa was easy to get ahold of and really nice. There are also some cool board games (like a vintage Backstreet Bots trivia game lol). We come to NB every last weekend in July and liked the house so much we asked to book for next year before we left. Highly recommend!
