Excellent House!
We booked this house for our family Christmas and it was perfection! We have rented several houses over the years and this was by far the best, biggest, most stocked and comfortable for a large group we have ever stayed at! We had 15 people in our group ranging from 2-72!

Perfect small wedding venue
The property was amazing with incredible views. It was the perfect place for me and my wife to get married at. It was large enough for all of our family to stay at and prepare for the wedding which was at the level grassy area with the river behind us. The house is definitely set up for large groups. We look forward to staying there again, but next time will be to float the river with family. I highly recommend this house.

Perfect house for a relaxing weekend away!
I booked this property for my 40th birthday - the goal was to have a relaxing weekend with friends cooking, hanging by the pool, and playing games. This property was PERFECT for our stay. The home was clean and very well stocked. While many properties can hold a large group, the spacing of the home allowed privacy and the common areas had more than enough seating for our group of 13. Adding the heated pool option was perfect for the weather and instructions for the hot tub were easy to follow. The fact that there are 2 refrigerators, dishwashers, and washer/dryers made storing groceries and keeping things clean easy. Loved the long dining tables for our Saturday night meal and we were so close to everything we needed. The management team was so quick to respond to any questions and provided amazing service before, during, and after our stay. Highly recommend for families, groups of friends and beyond

Best large group house on the river
We loved everything about our stay, and loved the personal touch of drinks in the fridge and chips and salsa for us on the counter at arrival! The house was very clean and included everything we could ever need, including lots of towels for the pool. It comfortably slept our group of 6 families. We will be back!

Wow - Fantastic Home!
We loved the home! It was great for our large family that varied from age 2-77! The pool was fantastic and they thought of everything you would need in the home! (I hesitate to even give a review or else others will find out about this house and it will be so booked we won't be able to reserve it next time!) We'll be back!

Spacious and relaxing retreat for large groups
This home was perfect for our family reunion of 20 people, ranging from a baby to elderly grandparents. Has a very private feel, even though it is close to stores and the highway. Large indoor living space, open kitchen with enough space for us to work on meals together. We loved the large dining room with enough tables and seats for the entire group to eat together. The kitchen is well-stocked. Two sinks and two dishwashers make for easier prep and clean up. Amazing amount of refrigerator and freezer space.All bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms except for the bunk house, but it has easy access to half bath in the hallway or the full bathroom in the PoolHaus. Comfortable beds, spacious bunks. Plenty of storage spaces in cabinets and drawers. Comfortable bedding with plenty of extra blankets.Spacious laundry room with two seats of W&D.Heated pool for additional fee was well-worth it. Plenty of pool towels. Plenty of outdoor seating as well as a large, fenced-in grassy area in the yard for playing outside. We were able to play baseball and football on the large, grassy riverbank below.The management company was responsive and helpful. Offered quick responses. One time when an on-site visit was required, sent maintenance promptly. Maintenance worked quickly and professionally.We highly recommend this property!

The River Haus Trip
This is a great house to rent. The bedrooms all have terrific TVs in every room, kitchen supplies everything - even spices. Outside you have 2 large stainless grills. There are 2 of the largest refrigerators and 1 huge freezer. The seating area can seat over 20. We all like to cook many of the meals and it was so easy. Everything included - pans, spoon, nice silverware, sharp knives, tons of glasses, bowls and places. The pool is wonderful & large with a terrific spa and pool house with a shower. They even supply you with over 10 beach towels. The top yard is fenced and large. We played volleyball while others sat on the wrap-around patio and watched the kids in the pool and volleyball games. Then you can walk down to the cement area by the river with seating and lights in the trees at night. Get your float and you are on the river. It was the best house we have ever rented for 4 families, 1 single guy, 3 boys, and 5 girls - a total of 17. Everyone had their own space. We all loved it!

Perfect Place for a Large Group
We recently stayed at this amazing home located right on the river in New Braunfels, TX. We were a group of seven (7) people on a business trip to the area and we usually stay in high end hotels but decided a house would be better for this trip due to logistics. The house has six (6) ensuite king bedrooms and a bunk room with two (2) bunk beds that fit adults, which worked out perfectly for us. The bedrooms are basically six hotel rooms in a house since each room is like a high-end hotel suite with full private bathroom, TV, King bed, etc.... The house is very spacious, spotless and has everything you could need for cooking & entertainment. There is an amazing pool/spa area out back as well as tons of outdoor patio areas but what I really loved was the location right on the river. You stroll down a huge grassy yard to the river which is so gorgeous & peaceful it makes you never want to leave. You can literally walk down the steps from the backyard and hop in the river. My only wish is that we had more time there because I did not want to leave. The owners were very informative and answered any emails almost immediately plus they left us a nice house warming present when we arrived which was greatly appreciated. I cannot think of one bad thing about this property other than the pictures, while good, do not do it justice. It truly is a place that is perfect for a large family or business gathering!!
