    We had several things missing (trash bags, dish soap, etc.) but the host was quick to get things sent over to us. The grounds are beautiful and the house offers plenty of space.

    We loved the house. We were a large family, and everyone was very comfortable. It was very spacious. The surrounding land is beautiful. We had a great time.

    House was nice overall. Property is beautiful. The large room upstairs with all the bunk beds is great for large groups but it stayed very hot even with the AC unit on. We had to go buy fans to sleep. Needs an additional unit on that room. Master bed abd bath are beautiful but there needs to be some sort of door on the bathroom or even a curtain. Some things just require a little privacy. The pool was an added bonus and was large. We had a great time and close to the river. Plenty of parking and beautiful deer at sunset. We had a great time. This is our 26th year and as our party grows this house can accomodate our party.

    Had the best time with our extended family. Plenty of room for everyone. Conveniently located to everything we had planned (golf, Wurstfest, shopping/lunch in Downtown New Braunfels).

    Overall a very good property. Everything worked as expected. Some minor items - Chairs in the dining area were a bit rickety. Bedroom we stayed in didn't have end tables.
