New! 3300sqft SINGLE STORY! LAKEFRONT Home!! Dock/kayaks/ping-pong/foosball!
A TRUE LAKE HOME like no other!
Just 10–15 minutes from downtown New Braunfels and the famous Schlitterbahn water park, this beautiful 3,300 sq ft single-story lakefront retreat comfortably sleeps 14 guests — all in real beds (no futons or pullouts here!). With 4 spacious bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, plus a refreshing outdoor shower, the home sits directly on the Lake Dunlap section of the spring-fed Guadalupe River.
Quick Highlights: Nearly 140 feet of prime waterfront
Single-story layout with 2 primary suites on opposite ends
Private gated entry
1500+ sq ft of covered outdoor living space
Docks, patios, and lush lawn
Stunning 70-ft Cypress trees offering both shade and lakefront charm
The location puts you near all the action — Schlitterbahn, the Comal River, Wurstfest, Gruene Hall, Whitewater Amphitheater, and more — but many guests never leave once they arrive at Opas Haus, thanks to its private, relaxing atmosphere.
Inside, you’ll find plenty of room for everyone to spread out and enjoy. The home features two primary suites, two secondary bedrooms, three full bathrooms, two dining areas, two living spaces, and a huge open kitchen with serene lake views. Tall ceilings (10'+ throughout) and wide-open spaces mean nobody feels cramped — just comfortable.
Feeling adventurous? Take out one of the provided kayaks (2 adult, 1 double, 2 kids), a canoe, or one of the 2 stand-up paddleboards. Float the day away on the inflatable island or enjoy the easy water access via stairs for swimming and lounging. Of course, there's always the classic lake move — a good ol’ jump right in!
Back on dry land, enjoy:
Ping pong table
Foosball table
Board games & puzzles
Outdoor lounge seating
Gas grill
Fire pit under the Cypress trees
A lakeside bar for your evening cocktails
Lawn games, life vests, floats, and more!
Two large dining tables (each seating 8), additional bar stools at the kitchen island, and multiple living areas make this home perfect for gathering, eating, playing, and relaxing.
When you’re ready to explore, you're just minutes from restaurants, shops, and grocery stores of charming New Braunfels — and just 20-60 minutes from hot spots like Gruene, San Marcos (outlets!), Wimberley, San Antonio’s River Walk, and even Austin.
Come experience lake life at Opas Haus — where comfort, space, and unforgettable memories await.

We loved the house and the assortment of things to do in the house and the surrounding areas (Austin, San Antonio). It made for both a relaxing and entertaining time.
Great location for water activities yet close to many must sees in New Braunfels without the hustle and bustle of people. Very peaceful place at sunrise and sunset. Our family and friends are already planning another trip.
If you’re looking for a large beautiful lake home with lots of activities for the whole family this is it! Aside from it being right on the water, it’s also conveniently located not too far from Gruene! The water is a great level and we felt very safe with our young kids swimming near the dock, the dock has stairs which are a bonus! The kayaks, canoe, and water toys make this place worth every penny. There’s lots to do outside and inside, plenty of seating, amazing views, and the kitchen is fully stocked with lots of cooking supplies! Overall we would definitely bring our family back and the hosts are top notch.
Great house for larger parties! The house had more than enough space for the 12 of us. The patio was awesome with access to the lake. Excellent communication with the owners!
Great house for a great girls weekend. We had 8 adults- everyone had a comfy bed, plenty of space to spread out. Great kitchen area for everyone to be working in with a huge island. We enjoyed the large covered patio with plenty of seating. The proximity to the water is perfect- just a very short walk to get in and float. Short drive into NB was a bonus too. Chad and Gaby responded quickly to any questions we had. I definitely would recommend Opas Haus and we would love to come back!
I booked this stay for a weekend family vacation for 10 of us. The house was very spacious, had plenty of supplies needed for cooking, and lots of activities for the outdoor area. We spent most of our time enjoying the lake, roasting s'more's by the fire pit, and grilling on the patio. The cons of the stay would be the cleanliness of the home and outdoor area. There were cobwebs in the house, all over the patio furniture and door ways. The backyard area has huge potential if it was upkept better- a tree covered in cobwebs, poison ivy by the shed, and yellowjacket nests on the covered boat dock. This stay has great potential and hope this feedback helps.
We enjoyed ourselves quite a lot. The space was good with enough amenities to cook meals there for our group. The patio was amazing, right on the water. Most of everything was comfortable, but there were a few things that probably need to be updated. The Queen bed in the secondary bedroom with ensuite bathroom has a pretty big dip in the center, making it uncomfortable to sleep in. Another of the bedrooms has a bed missing a headboard, which causes the bed to slide around a bit at night. Other than those issues, the place was great! Excellent communication with owners.
We enjoyed our stay here. It was relaxing to sit outside and enjoy the water view. We enjoyed playing the outdoor games. We visited over the holidays and had plenty of counter space to meal prep and had everything we needed. Communication was great.
Stunning, spacious and serene! House was very large with ann open floor plan and all the recreational toys was such a huge bonus for us. We will definitely be staying again.!
House was GREAT! Clean & spacious. Out back was is where we spent a lot of time unwinding. We were down (both trips) for work, so having the extra space for our crew was perfect. Highly recommend. Hopefully the next visit will be for vacation rather than work to enjoy it more!
2nd time renting this beautiful home and we will definitely be back again! So much space and Chad and Gabby are amazing and so nice to communicate with.
The house had a beautiful view of the water and the nice homes across the lake. The outdoor space was incredible with all sorts of water toys. I enjoyed using the new griddle while watching the kids be kids. Fishing wasn’t great, but the kids had a good time reeling in some small pan fish. We would definitely stay at Opa’s Haus again!
We absolutely loved the house. The kids enjoyed spending time down by the water. The house had plenty of room for everyone to have their own space and a place to sit and eat. We honestly hated that we had to leave.
We enjoyed our stay so much. It is such a beautiful and comfortable place. We had 8 adults and 2 kids and there was plenty of room for us to hang around and be comfortable. We LOVED the outside and being on the water. They have great outdoor activities that work for all ages. We had a blast and will definitely go back.
