Big slope to river
The place was clean and the beds are comfortable. Furniture has some wear which you want to make sure you disclose to property management or you get charged. From the pictures, we didn’t realize there was a steep slope to the river. Not friendly for seniors. And all bathrooms are tub/showers and two are soaker jacuzzi tubs so they were deep. Also, not friendly for seniors. Otherwise, it was a good rental with lots of room for everyone. And we enjoyed the Foosball table in the playroom. Great rental for younger people.

Celibrated our 50th Wedfing Anniversary
We loved your home. Thank you! We had a wonderful time with our children and grand children and great grand children. We did some swimming, kayaking, game playing, grilling and cooking. We used the back deck that overlooks the river for our 50th Wedding Anniversary celebration where we repeated our vows in front of our gamily.

Perfect for our big families
Such an easy check in process! This property was perfect for our big families to all stay together while having plenty of our own space. We were very nervous for our stay as we are very “picky”individuals but we 10/10 would recommend this property! Incredible views with easy access to swim in the Guadalupe river and big deck to sit near water! We enjoyed every bit of the water activities provided and surrounding! It was very convenient to float the comal river as well. Would definitely book again for our next trip!

Plenty of Room for a family gathering
Over all the home fit our needs for our family trip to the river. The ac in the home, mainly the upstairs was very uncomfortable trying to sleep at night. It did not get below 75* until after around midnight or so, still then it would only cool to 73*, 74*. Only (1) fan was provided for the (2) rooms upstairs. The AC vents down stairs leaked water/condensation the whole time we were there. The home is a much older home with an weird/old smell (very strong) in the stairway inside the home. There are also not outside fans.

Incredibly close to the city, and on the river too!
Loved the variety of spaces! Sprawling decks overlooking the river. Meandering common areas which accommodate the varied interests, and separate conversations, of a large group. The upstairs master bedroom is huge! Check-in was a cinch, as was check-out.

Great location on the river, convenient location
The house was very convenient to everything we visited. Shirt distance to Schlitterbahn, Comal river tubing, restaurants, and grocery stores. The house is old and needs some updating, but was clean. The air conditioner was set at 70 when we arrived, but read 78. The property manager sent an AC repairman fairly quickly and the problem was resolved, same with a clog in the drain of the upstairs bathroom. The house was roomy for 9 guests. Although we didn’t use them, the property provides kayaks, floats, and life jackets. There is ample parking.

Pros & Cons
The property has a fun rustic vibe in a great location, but requires a little maintenance and cleaning to be a truly outstanding. Upon our arrival we found the kitchen area wasn’t fully cleaned, with 2 dead cockroaches on the floor and the refrigerator was covered in grease and rust looking like it hadn’t been cleaned in years. It really should be replaced. The air conditioning for the second floor wasn’t able to properly cool. In order to be remotely comfortable when sleeping at night, my wife and I had to sleep without using the blanket or top sheet. Mind you, she’s one of those people who always feels cold, so as to give you some perspective. The rear deck area could also use some looking after. We found a few nails that weren’t flush with the deck boards that could easily cut someone’s foot if they barefoot. If these things were addressed, we would definitely stay here again.

The house was great! The property nice for the most part. Could use a grill. Several areas of upkeep are needed. With all that said it was an amazing time. The kids loved it. The family enjoyed the house 100 percent. The walk up and down the stairs lil rough on is older folks. I would definitely stay there again.

River Fun
The river is fun and really nice right at the house. The house is very spacious for a large family or group BUT if you want a cool air conditioned house, forget it! The back of house had a horrible window unit that doesn’t cook and the dude room has a window unit that doesn’t work. The upstairs took 3 days to cool down. It finally cooled off when we were leaving. The owners need to invest some of the rents into this house. The a/c vents drip on to the couch and the whole house smells musty and needs to be painted. Out of 3 TV’s, we could not get one to work. On the good side, it had lots of space and several refrigerators. Tons of nice decking and new stairs going down to river. We enjoyed the swings and tubes and kajaks. We did enjoy the house even with the problems.

It is a large house
To be fair, if you're looking for a house to host a large gathering, say 15 to 18 people, this could be your place. If you're looking for something really nice and in a nice area (where you can't see I-35 traffic from the deck), you probably need to keep looking. The pictures are extremely flattering when compared to "real life." River access from the house is down a very steep slope and actual water access from the doc area is not easy and requires climbing around large concrete blocks (unless the water level were say 4 or 5 feet higher). I had thought that given the pictures and the price, I was booking a very nice property. That's what I was looking for and willing to pay for. The house is serviceable but I should have dug into it a bit deeper. So, if you're looking for a place to hold a river gathering of 7 to 8 people (like I was) you can likely do a lot better for the price by looking elsewhere.

Weekend stay
Cons: The river access of this location was not very kid friendly at all. The kids loved playing down the hill but we did not feel safe letting them get into the water. The kitchen dish washer does not clean the dishes at all. We had to hand wash everything after we ran a cycle. Pros: The patio/deck was great for our late night hang outs and it was perfect for our large 3 family gathering. It also was very close to everything we could of needed to get to during our stay

Texas River Haus
Our Family Retreat to New Braunfels was a super success this year! The Texas RiverHaus on the Guadalupe River was perfect for our group of eleven! Our five grandkids enjoyed the huge decks, jumping into the river and paddling the two kayaks! Plenty of sleeping and playing space for everyone and very close to Schlitterbahn for our fun day on Friday! We all loved dinner in nearby Gruen on Wednesday evening as well! We’ll highly recommend this VRBO listing to anyone visiting the New Braunfels are!

Great house and outside areas
The house is big enough that everyone had privacy, it was clean and the outside decks exceeded my expectations with all of the large trees shading the majority of the decks. I love the 4 refrigerators, that's usually an issue when traveling with a large group. We had an issue with the up stairs AC unit and maintenance came out within a couple hours and fixed the problem and was very professional and kind. The hill to the river is very steep but manageable, and getting into the river was easier than the majority of places we've stayed at in the past. The only issue I have is the house is so close to the HWY you do get traffic noise while trying to relax by the river or on the decks but that being said we were still able to enjoy both areas. Overall I would highly recommend this house.
