About this property

The Guadalupe River right in your backyard! River living at its best!

W.O.R.D Permit- L1350
Nestled on a hill overlooking the scenic Guadalupe River in New Braunfels, Texas, the Pecan Creek Cottage beckons you to a Texan oasis where the vacation vibes are as plentiful as the trout released into the river each year. This enchanting retreat is not just a vacation rental; it's a haven for those seeking a perfect blend of relaxation and excitement.

At the rear of the property, a sprawling deck adorned with ample seating invites you to bask in the warmth of the Texan sun. A grill and a fire pit beckon for lazy afternoons and evenings filled with laughter and the clinking of cold beers. A short stroll down a set of stone stairs leads you to the river's edge, where floating and wading become spontaneous adventures waiting to unfold.

The Pecan Creek Cottage is a symphony of Texan chic, seamlessly blending rustic charm with modern comfort. Step inside, and you'll find a living room adorned with cozy couches and a flat-screen television, setting the stage for relaxation after a day of river activities. The kitchen, equipped for quick breakfasts or elaborate family feasts, opens up to a dining area with a captivating view of the river. A window into the wet bar and lounge, complete with a stone fireplace, adds a touch of sophistication to your vacation home.

The master bedroom boasts a Tempurpedic King bed, ensuring a restful night's sleep with picturesque hill country views. The accompanying full bathroom exudes simplicity and chic elegance, offering the perfect sanctuary for unwinding after a day on the river. The second bedroom features a queen Tempurpedic bed, while a set of French doors reveal an additional full-sized futon for larger family gatherings. A second bathroom down the hall radiates a light and fresh ambiance.

Beyond the riverside haven, New Braunfels awaits with an array of activities to suit every taste. Explore the charming downtown area with its plethora of shops, restaurants, museums, and theaters. Dive into the waters of Landa Park, rent paddle boats, or enjoy a picnic. Embrace the thrill of Schlitterbahn Water Park or indulge in wine and beer tasting at local wineries and breweries. For music enthusiasts, Whitewater Amphitheater and River Road Ice House are just a short drive away.

Venture to Gruene, home to the historic Gruene Hall, where music and dancing captivate visitors. Delight your senses at the Gristmill Restaurant, perched alongside the Guadalupe River. Embark on an underground adventure at Natural Bridge Caverns or soar through the treetops on a zipline. Overlook Park offers a beach area, swimming, and nature trails, providing a picturesque retreat just a short drive from Canyon Lake and its mesmerizing dam.

For those seeking the ultimate river experience, the Lone Star Float House awaits with tube and kayak rentals, shuttle services, and a laid-back bar and grill atmosphere. A stone's throw away.

Escape to the Pecan Creek Cottage, where the Guadalupe River whispers tales of adventure, and every moment is infused with the spirit of a Texan getaway. Your dream vacation begins here, where the river's embrace and the charm of New Braunfels create memories that last a lifetime.

Great house on the river!
Love this house right on the Guadalupe River! We have stayed here many times. Recently they upgraded the floors and the bathrooms and it is a huge improvement, especially the bathrooms. Great showers and toilets now, and a big reason we will come back. We actually stayed somewhere else last visit b/c this place was a little run down, and they have fixed all that. Need a new fridge or to fix the water/ice maker, but otherwise this place is now in great shape. Fantastic access to the river and great fishing right at your back door. Check out the drive in theater in New Braunfels and go shopping in Greune. We love this trip every year and this a great place to stay.

Gruene get away
The property was as listed. Beautiful riverfront property. The proximity to restaurants, grocery stores and entertainment was great. I was glad we had decided not to do a lot of cooking. There was plenty cookware but missing some silverware!! There was supposed to be shampoo, conditioner and soap. There was only shampoo! The house was clean and the beds were very comfortable so that made up for the small issues. I would go back!!

Fishing out your back door
I can't say enough about the location, fishing out your back door! It was a perfect location. Overall, the cabin was very comfortable except for a few issues that happened during the stay. It was a cold morning and the heater took hours to heat the cabin and the washer did not work. The property manager was responsive and provided support along the way so hopefully these issues will be resolved before the next guest arrives. I'd stay there again, very peaceful.

Pleasant stay by the River
Enjoyed our respite at this lovely home. My sister and I took time away to relax and heal from our mother’s passing. We enjoyed the scenery and quiet peaceful atmosphere. The home was well maintained and met our expectations. Hope to return again soon.

River house
We enjoyed the style and location of this house, very nice back porch. The only thing that concerned my husband and I was the musty smell. Air vents looked like mold was in and around vents. As a chronic asthmatic it was a concern. Love the place except for that. Neighbor was so kind to us that was an unexpected pleasure. I got sick and we cut trip short. I ended up in hospital for a few days.

River House Weekend
Love the location except for the proximity of the campground next door, which had their main access immediately next door to the house. However we did not have any issues with the neighbors. We prefer a few streets away but we had a pleasant time and enjoyable time including the beautiful and breathtaking view of the river which was stunning. House appears to have had a resident a while ago who smoked not recent but lingering scent.

Location great, but house is dated
The location and proximity to river was great. Really the cons are with the inside of the house. It’s really dated and it doesn’t feel very clean. The beds have these big comforters that I’m not sure get sanitized or cleaned. Mattress was comfortable. Kitchen microwave was broken and fridge magnetic strip was pulling off. Freezer was leaking too. Sink in master bath was clogged. Neighboring tippees were quite loud at night.

Back Yard Beauty
Checking in process was a piece of cake. The house has its own charm and loved the trout decor. Inside had a few bugs… outside yard could be cleaned up. I swept the whole area out back because we had a 21 month old with us and didn’t want her putting stuff in her mouth. The back yard view is beautiful. We bbq’d and had a fire pit and did lots of fishing. I would stay again.
