    We came to celebrate the August birthdays in our family and we enjoyed our stay very much. The house was clean, spacious, and welcoming. Even in the summer heat we enjoyed sitting on the porch having tea and sharing stories. The patio areas were great for late night relaxation and conversation. Our family ranged from ages 4-84 and we all enjoyed our visit. We were pleasantly surprised by all the amenities that the city of New Braunfels has to offer. Everything was a 10-20 minute drive from the house which was convenient. Also, there is a gas station and HEB not to far from the house for those of us that forgot a few essential items. We enjoyed our visit and plan to return in the fall to do some antiquing and shopping!

    This VRBO was absolutely amazing! It was the perfect place for a girls’ weekend with family and friends to celebrate my sister’s and my birthday. The house was so charming and had everything we needed—and more! The location was ideal, making it easy to get to everything we wanted to do while still feeling like a peaceful country retreat. We were less than 10 minutes from anything we needed, but it felt like a hidden getaway. Truly the best weekend ever! I cannot recommend this place enough and would love to stay here again!

    My husband, daughter and son-in-law stayed at River Road Retreat this past weekend. This quaint country home is so much better than the pictures. It feels like home away from home. The home is beautifully and tastefully decorated. The yard is well kept and so serene. We spent most of our time in Gruene. Great location! Wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the outdoors. Everything was clean and in working order. Everything we needed was there. Plenty of parking for larger groups. Can't wait to go back.

    This was a family gathering to honor a loved one. We stayed here once before with that loved one and she loved it. It was so special. The family loved it and the planning was very easy. Thank you to the manager as well!

    This home and location are the complete package! The warm, cozy, charming, tranquil atmosphere, both inside and outside, makes for a very comfortable stay! The rooms are spacious, and beautifully decorated with unique pieces that are interesting, soothing and inspirational! The kitchen is well-equipped for the needs of one or a group! The outside amenities allow for of a variety of games, cooking on the grill, or communing with nature (including watching for the regular visitors of deer and cardinals)! The distance to the other area amenities makes the River Road Retreat Farmhouse a wonderful place for a family to relax and enjoy the time together, and the area! Kudos to the owners who have thought of everything needed to make the RRR Farmhouse a wonderful place to stay! Thank you for providing this rental! Our family thoroughly enjoyed our time spent there!

    We had a wonderful stay at this property. The house was rustic, yet clean and well equipped. The fire pit and spacious grounds were awesome. We all enjoyed watching deer on the property in the mornings and evenings. The property was a great launchpad for all of the local attractions. I would highly recommend this property!
