About this property

Feel local! A Football Field Stroll to Downtown & the River! Pets encouraged!

This Come & Go Cottage offers A gentle mix of its 1890s vintage essence along with all the modern amenities & gadgets! Guests love the vintage windows that Serv as a “pass-through” from the breakfast bar indoors to the bar top outdoors! (Sometimes you just want that fresh air and be part of what’s going on in the courtyard while you’re inside!)
The backyard is a favorite hangout space for both of my two legged and four-legged guests! (I do not discriminate against breed or size of your furry family just hoping for all friendly pets to be friendly to The occasional doe that hops the fence or domesticated animal that uses my yard as a pass-through! No bloodshed thus far; knock on wood!)
The Fully fenced yard with some “peek a boo‘s“ offering privacy as well as a peek of the nature a.k.a. Deer walking outside your fence & neighbor hood fox that likes my side yard! ( yes Downtown New Braunfels still has a plethora of assorted wildlife!) The backyard has Raised garden beds, plenty of grass for your pups to do their thing and a huge patio area with a great covered pergola which offers shade & water misting on those hot summer days! Inner tubes ,noodles and ice chests on site for your use as well as a one-man kayak which I find guests like to pop in at your River Access/ Easement & paddle to where the Comal meets the Guadalupe and fish from their kayak in tranquility! From your easement you can get an hour float to last public exit and it’s a 13 to 15 minute walk back to your cottage. With the use of the tubes provided here this would be a free trip on the river ! Of course There are at least three inner tube rentals within 2-3blocks that will drive you up River drop you in the water( if you’d like to get out at the easement to refill your ice chest before continuing your float seems to be a favorite for guests) or just float nonstop to the Last public river exit & you’ll get a shuttle back to your tube rental or at times they just drop you back at the cottage!
This Location is the Tops! Location Location!
Description: You are a football field from your easement to the Comal river , A football field to the downtown plaza , a football field to All downtown antiquing,eateries, bars, farmers market …..all the happenings downtown New Braunfels! Many of my guests that fly in never get a car it’s just so easy to walk! ( If you bring your pet I offer a list of pet friendly restaurants and bars, not to mention a basket of toys & treats!
Speaking of treats! I provide an abundance of items for you to just arrive with your luggage! Trash bags napkins paper towels starter coffee cooking oil dish soap grilling oil aluminum foil Ziploc bags I try to make it as convenient for you as possible I can’t say you won’t need to run out for a few things but when you walk in the door you should feel like do you have everything you need to get you through that first day and beyond!
Inside the cottage are two mini splits that efficiently cool in the summer and keep you toasty in the winter. Wi-Fi and a smart TV in the bedroom , The IKEA couch in the living room area slides out and up to a full size bed. The bedroom has a queen size bed and a vintage couch that pulls out to a vintage full bed.
Fyi, While I’m new to This platform , I’ve been hosting for over four years & happy to direct you to my reviews upon request. (I don’t think there’s any way for me to show them here)
…The cottage , backyard space , the covered parking space and driveway is all for you to enjoy. As this cottage is an original “coach house” the owner ,myself lives in the front house. Your privacy is always respected & I pride myself on being a host that introduces herself, offers assistance then steps away for you to enjoy your explorations and adventures! As a retired Delta Airlines flight attendant of 21+ years nothing makes me happier than hosting guests from all about the world and making you feel comfortable and right at home!
Please feel free to message me ,call or text me with any questions Or things to share as you ponder booking my cottage for your next adventure!
Safe Travels to All !

Our host was so accommodating and thought of every little detail to make our stay comfortable. My husband and I loved the location! We were able to walk to Wurstfest and to the many shops and restaurants in downtown New Braunfels.The outdoor space was a true oasis, and truly, it would have been a perfect vacation if we had decided to just hang there and chill - BUT…there is so much to do in town! We loved every single thing about this little cottage!

PERFECT FOR US!!!!

I can’t say enough about this amazing place! The location was the best with river access and town within a few blocks. We enjoyed walking downtown and to Landa Park. Tina is a phenomenal human and just the best host ever. We felt right at home with our two dogs from the moment we arrived. Gruene has a popular music scene and is just a few miles away too. SCORE!!!! Stay with Tina you won’t regret it:)

Perfect little place ❤️

Location can’t be beat! Walkable to water, downtown NB and more. We are not tiny people but all four of us & the pup fit nicely and had everything we needed for a perfect 4th of July river trip. Wildlife all around & we had so much fun exploring the town on foot. A great spot to come home to after a long hot river day & liked that we could cook some of our meals as well. Loved our sweet host & our time there!! Highly recommend ❤️

R & R for Grandma

I rented this small cottage for a visit to my daughter and grandsons. Since their living space is crowded, I opted to rent my own space. The location was absolutely perfect - close to downtown, the river, Landa Park, shopping, restaurants - everything I needed. I could walk everywhere and felt perfectly safe doing that. My host was a lovely lady who provided a comfortable space, both inside and out. I spent lots of time in the lovely patio area, as well as inside the cottage. I had a great experience here!

Adorable stay in downtown New Braunfels

Tina's guest house is close to everything in New Braunfels. It is an easy walk to the Comal, and downtown restaurants and maybe 5 minutes to Schlitterbahn. The guest house is very small. I stayed there with my teenage daughter and we were comfortable but it felt like one more person would have made it a tight squeeze. We had a nice time and one of the best parts was that Tina was very accomodating of our 2 dogs. There is a fenced yard and a my dogs seemed very happy with the stay. The only suggestion I would say is maybe a rack for drying dishes? We didn't cook much, just made sandwiches so it wasn't a big deal but we just let dishes dry on the counter.

Fantastic stay!

This rental was clean, cozy, and the location can’t be beat! Lisa, the host, was fantastic. She answered all my questions before I arrived and while we were staying. We had 4 in our group and she went and purchased another tube so she would have 4 for us when we arrived. The rental stayed so cool inside because it was 100 degrees outside. It was a short float, but we walked to Hinman Island Park to enter our tubes and then got out at Lisa’s easement. We did the same float twice that day. Also, there are so many deer in her front and side yard and all around the neighborhood. They are pretty to watch. We walked to Muck and Fuss to eat one evening and could have easily walked to the other places downtown but ended up driving the very short distance due to the heat index while visiting. Lisa had everything we needed along with a nice welcome note when we arrived. We enjoyed our stay so much!
