Was a beautiful big place, with lots of room.
Enjoyed our family reunion . Family members ranged in age from 8 to 81 years old. Access to the river for fishing was nice. House was spacious for 18 family members.
Great house for a large group, we were 14 people of all ages. Plenty of space to be together and perfect having a bathroom for each bedroom. Kitchen area is beautiful and all areas are newly decorated. Had a great time!
We had a great time at this property. The house layout is great for large groups. The house was very clean and beautifully decorated. We would definitely come back to this property in the future.
We had three families with adult children in town for the eclipse and the number of bedrooms and bathrooms was perfect. Also large kitchen worked great at meal time. The rec room was also great and fit everyone for evening relaxation and game viewing on the TVs.

It was great to have all our relatives be able to stay in one location for our wedding and have enough individual bedrooms and bathrooms to accomodate 12 people. The house was well done, the location was beautiful with needed amenities nearby. We would definitely recommend this house. Cost was also a good benefit.

Wonderful house in a great location! You could float the U-loop and take a short 7 minute walk back to the house. Plenty of bedrooms, bathroom and decks!
The property was great! Large well equipped kitchen with both charcoal and gas grills outside. Much time spent on the deck near the water.

What a wonderful home! Everyone at he New Brausfels Escapes were knowledgable and extremely helpful! So much room for our family. Perfect location and the house was so accomodating for the large group with plenty of bathrooms and rooms! We hope to return and to continue to stay at this gorgeous location! Thank you for making this family gathering a suberb weekend for us all!!
Me and a group of friends from highschool always do a river trip once a year. This vrbo was awesome and accommodated everyone. Having 2 refrigerators was a great addition. The river location was amazing and just deep enought and the new floating dock was perfect for getting in and out and just hanging out bythe river. My only complain was we wished there were more cooking trays but that wasnt a big deal at all. IdFosure5a555ospecfloatingwaswaswasper
The house had plenty of space for our extended family of 13! Plenty of places to sit and eat together and enough rooms and bathrooms so that everyone was exceptionally comfortable. The outdoor area going down to the river is very nice but it is a steep climb down to the edge of the river if you have little ones or older people. We hopped into the river every day right from the backyard, got out at the exit at the end of the horseshoe and then took the 10 minute walk back to the beginning of the horseshoe to float back to the backyard of the house. Would definitely stay here again!
The property is spacious; our extended family spread out and were comfortable. We made a lot of use of the deck and dock; they are wonderful! Thank you for making such good river access. We used the tubes and enjoyed the river so much!
The kitchen and dining areas are great; glad of two refrigerators. The bedrooms are terrific, and we much appreciated the several bathrooms. We took several walks on our road and really enjoyed the neighborhood. Made use of the grocery store too, Lowe’s Market. Thank you so much.

My family and I decided to start a new tradition and rent a nearby waterfront property to bring in the new year. This was a great choice! The property has been renovated and it shows! The amount of rooms and bathrooms is exceptional, plus there are two sections of the home w/a bit of added privacy. The access to the water is well protected with a gate which made it safe since we brought our three toddler aged grandchildren. The property is also pet friendly, and has plenty of space to cook for large families with double fridges!

Reviewer Comments:
We rented this property to celebrate our 10th anniversary. We invited 5 other couples (no kids) and absolutely loved the space. We honestly booked in BIG part due to the TWO large tables in the kitchen area where we could set up multiple board games. The space was clean and spacious AND we loved how there were separate wings for the bedrooms. The river and area was beautiful, but only a couple of people dove in for a "cold plunge" as it was certainly too cold to swim in. Nonetheless, the outdoor area was lovely.We enjoyed being close enough to town to order good food, but far enough away to feel like we were actually retreating a bit.If we could get a group together again like that, we'd definitely go back. While we didn't have kids, a lot of the rooms have bunk beds and could have accommodated them nicely.
We loved this place! The home features wonderful location, ample room for sleeping 20 guests, large kitchen-dining areas, and outdoor space (covered patio area and patio one level above river). The location is close to the highway and a store if you need it. Additionally, you can do a loop around the river easily from here. We'll be back!
