This 1880 complete rebuild is the perfect nostalgic vacation home with its open kitchen and living room displaying the 141-year-old cedar siding and original bead board.

This ‘one of a kind' cottage has all the modern conveniences from granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances to TV’s with ROKU and Blue Ray players in multiple rooms while preserving the old-world amenities in the spacious claw foot tub. You can rest and unwind in one of the two outdoor seating areas overlooking a large fenced yard shaded by hundred-year-old pecan trees. Or, you can gaze at the stars while relaxing on your private balcony.

Once here, you can experience the delights of New Braunfels. A five-minute walk will take you world's #1 water park - Schlitterbahn. Or, you can stroll two blocks to Prince Solms park and ride the tube chute or float the river. Looking for a unique dining experience Try Pat's Place, Union Station Café or the historic Naeglin’s Bakery, an easy jaunt from the cottage. Shop or visit the museums while you’re out. Famous Gruene is only 4 miles away. Natural bridge Caverns is 20 min south and San Marcos outlet mall is 20 min north.

    The grandkids loved the toys and outdoor play area. Lovely closed in yard so they were safe. Plenty of towels for showers and hot tub. Also shower gels, shampoo and conditioners were supplied. A very well equipped and clean house. The host was always available for questions with a quick response.

    This is an OUTSTANDING property, lots of space and true trip down memory lane for a reconditioned and updated house from days past. Super close to everything, even a quick 45 minute drive to San Antonio. A lot of great little shops and restaurants within walking distance. You won’t be sorry you opted to stay at the Pecan Cottage!!

    We came with our kids and grandkids for a little family vacay! The house was perfect and the grands were enthralled with the secret rooms and backyard! The kitchen had all the things needed for serving up meals after a day at the waterpark!Spacious home for 8 and walking distance to schlitterbaun! We had a blast and loved the charm of the home. Hosts made it all simple to check in and reach if there were questions. If you’re planning a trip to New Braunfels, check out the Pecan Cottage! You’ll absolutely love it!

    We have been going to Pecan Cottage for several years now. We only stay here because of its great features. It’s close to the river, well stocked, clean, roomy, and well laid out. The backyard is great for grilling, games and just overall fun for hanging out. We have fond memories as a family of spending time there celebrating birthdays, engagements and holidays. It is by far the one home that makes us feel like it’s our own! Thank you Melissa for being the most responsive and welcoming host!

    Wonderful setting for a family get together!! Many spaces for Clay of all ages and competitions and games! We enjoy being able to walk to downtown! We had an 18 month old with us and having the stroller and highchair option was so handy! We loved the private feel and the layout of the backyard.

    Pecan Cottage was an absolute delight! There was so much to do, and see, and eat all about town but we still found ourselves back at the house spending every evening in. Highly recommend this house to everyone and we will certainly be booking again when we are back in town!

    This is the only house we will ever stay in while visiting New Braunfels. We will wait until it’s available before we make our plans. It’s so walkable to the river and other places. The house is very nice and well equipped. It’s spacious, clean and overall just feels like home. It has a great backyard with games, hot tub, playset and nice patio furniture. We spend half our time outside. Melissa the host is the best! She responds extremely fast and quick to resolve any issues. Our family has made some great memories there. Thank you Melissa!!!

    My large family of 12 stayed at Pecan Cottage in late June. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this adorable place! The house itself was very clean. Fully functioning kitchen, with the outdoor recreation area super fun for all family members! There is a Hobbit hole in the upstairs bedroom that all the big kids were fighting over! Such a great place for sleeping, napping or just having some alone time. The location was amazing! We could walk to the Comal, Schlitterbahn and all restaurants from the house. We will definitely be staying here again!

    Pecan Cottage was everything we could’ve hoped for. We booked this place a year in advance because of the backyard play area! It was amazing to entertain the little ones! The house is perfectly located to anything New Braunfels and Gruene offers. Book it. You won’t regret it!
