The Guadalupe River right in your backyard! River living at its best!

W.O.R.D Permit- L1350
Nestled on a hill overlooking the scenic Guadalupe River in New Braunfels, Texas, the Pecan Creek Cottage beckons you to a Texan oasis where the vacation vibes are as plentiful as the trout released into the river each year. This enchanting retreat is not just a vacation rental; it's a haven for those seeking a perfect blend of relaxation and excitement.

At the rear of the property, a sprawling deck adorned with ample seating invites you to bask in the warmth of the Texan sun. A grill and a fire pit beckon for lazy afternoons and evenings filled with laughter and the clinking of cold beers. A short stroll down a set of stone stairs leads you to the river's edge, where floating and wading become spontaneous adventures waiting to unfold.

The Pecan Creek Cottage is a symphony of Texan chic, seamlessly blending rustic charm with modern comfort. Step inside, and you'll find a living room adorned with cozy couches and a flat-screen television, setting the stage for relaxation after a day of river activities. The kitchen, equipped for quick breakfasts or elaborate family feasts, opens up to a dining area with a captivating view of the river. A window into the wet bar and lounge, complete with a stone fireplace, adds a touch of sophistication to your vacation home.

The master bedroom boasts a Tempurpedic King bed, ensuring a restful night's sleep with picturesque hill country views. The accompanying full bathroom exudes simplicity and chic elegance, offering the perfect sanctuary for unwinding after a day on the river. The second bedroom features a queen Tempurpedic bed, while a set of French doors reveal an additional full-sized futon for larger family gatherings. A second bathroom down the hall radiates a light and fresh ambiance.

Beyond the riverside haven, New Braunfels awaits with an array of activities to suit every taste. Explore the charming downtown area with its plethora of shops, restaurants, museums, and theaters. Dive into the waters of Landa Park, rent paddle boats, or enjoy a picnic. Embrace the thrill of Schlitterbahn Water Park or indulge in wine and beer tasting at local wineries and breweries. For music enthusiasts, Whitewater Amphitheater and River Road Ice House are just a short drive away.

Venture to Gruene, home to the historic Gruene Hall, where music and dancing captivate visitors. Delight your senses at the Gristmill Restaurant, perched alongside the Guadalupe River. Embark on an underground adventure at Natural Bridge Caverns or soar through the treetops on a zipline. Overlook Park offers a beach area, swimming, and nature trails, providing a picturesque retreat just a short drive from Canyon Lake and its mesmerizing dam.

For those seeking the ultimate river experience, the Lone Star Float House awaits with tube and kayak rentals, shuttle services, and a laid-back bar and grill atmosphere. A stone's throw away.

Escape to the Pecan Creek Cottage, where the Guadalupe River whispers tales of adventure, and every moment is infused with the spirit of a Texan getaway. Your dream vacation begins here, where the river's embrace and the charm of New Braunfels create memories that last a lifetime.

Kitchen window had cobwebs and dead water bugs. Second bedroom needs to have a closet and dresser. Outdoors wasn't clean. House keeping needs to make sure they leave enough bath towels and kitchen towels. All in all it's a home

My mother and ai stayed a night. House was nice and easy walk down to the water. Great location. Needs a little work. No toilet paper holder in the 2nd bath. Kitchen could use more pans, Larger frying pan. Im just used to basic items being provided. sugar, salt, pepper, coffee. If they could put up a privacy shade on the back porch on the east side, it would definitely help not seeing the woman who lives there all day long looking over. It was only a night so no big deal, I would definitely stay again!

Phenomenal, quiet getaway!

This property is exactly what we expected. The pictures we're very accurate, the water was slow-moving and clean, and there's an underwater limestone ledge for shallow sitting just before a nice, deep plunge into the brisk Guadalupe. Perfect angle for sunset viewing, too!

Evaluated at 10 am on July 5 because of Guadalupe flooding. I didn't see much of the property due to rain and flooding. Don't know if I will get my money back for cutting my stay short due to evaluation

Great house on the river!

Love this house right on the Guadalupe River! We have stayed here many times. Recently they upgraded the floors and the bathrooms and it is a huge improvement, especially the bathrooms. Great showers and toilets now, and a big reason we will come back. We actually stayed somewhere else last visit b/c this place was a little run down, and they have fixed all that. Need a new fridge or to fix the water/ice maker, but otherwise this place is now in great shape. Fantastic access to the river and great fishing right at your back door. Check out the drive in theater in New Braunfels and go shopping in Greune. We love this trip every year and this a great place to stay.

Gruene get away

The property was as listed. Beautiful riverfront property. The proximity to restaurants, grocery stores and entertainment was great. I was glad we had decided not to do a lot of cooking. There was plenty cookware but missing some silverware!! There was supposed to be shampoo, conditioner and soap. There was only shampoo! The house was clean and the beds were very comfortable so that made up for the small issues. I would go back!!

Fishing out your back door

I can't say enough about the location, fishing out your back door! It was a perfect location. Overall, the cabin was very comfortable except for a few issues that happened during the stay. It was a cold morning and the heater took hours to heat the cabin and the washer did not work. The property manager was responsive and provided support along the way so hopefully these issues will be resolved before the next guest arrives. I'd stay there again, very peaceful.
