This is our fourth annual trip for the New Braunfels area with our four kids (8, 6, 4 and 10 months). First time to stay at this house, and we will totally stay here every time if possible. The house was the perfect size, great location, peaceful, clean, etc. From the moment of opening the door, there was thought and care with a little note, some snacks, soap, etc. I can’t recommend this house enough. The host was very responsive when asked a question.

Spring break In Texas Hills

This home was a perfect get-away for us over spring break. WE LOVED our time away. Being close enough to enjoy the Riverwalk of downtown San Antonio but also loved visiting the natural caverns. The house had all the comforts we needed, a place to savor family time together. THANK YOU! The house was perfect for us.
