3 Generation Family Vacay

We had a Fischer park day, a Schlitterbahn day, and a tube the Guadalupe river day. We also enjoyed evening swims in the river jumping off the boat dock. We grilled dinner one night. Location and house were perfect for our group of 7. 3 kids, 2 adults and 2 Srs.

Family Vacation

This home was nice. The location was peaceful, yet close to town and attractions. We enjoyed using our kayaks & tubes from the boat dock. It was nice to have a dishwasher, laundry facilities available and linens provided. The mattresses could use upgrades and the sheets would not stay on the king size bed. The water heater did not provide adequate hot water for our family of 8. Several of us had to take cool showers in the downstairs bath and the faucet temperature adjustment was somewhat temperamental. I probably just missed it, but I do not recall the website description noting that this was a two-story accommodation. It worked for this trip!

Pecan shores retreat ❤️

This property was just perfect. The house plan is open and spacious. The home is cozy and comfortable. Everything was clean and well taken care of. I met the owner because he was wrapping pipes for the upcoming freeze that was about to take place. He was very kind and welcoming. The outside area is great and we even used the fire pit for s'mores. I would highly suggest this property!

Family Trip

The home was nice, the property was not maintained. My sister and I were walking down to the pier and both of us got cuts from branches even with shoes on. The deck was nice but after getting into the water there wasn’t a ladder to help get out. I understand that this home stated no pets, but I felt it was unnecessary when my daughter and fiance showed to hang out, she brought her 2 little dachshunds I received a phone call almost n a threatening manner for them to vacate immediately! Which they did but the first day of my only vacation was very upsetting.

Girls trip

We really enjoyed this property! We had 10 girls on a weekend trip and it was the best to hold all of us comfortably! Pros: Huge kitchen and had most everything you needed! Huge yard space with dock! Fabulous shaded porch, perfect for hanging out Quiet location- still close to things but not in the heart of town Very good communication from the hosts. They even sent someone out to empty the big trash cans from the people before us Cons: There are very minimal extra bedding items- in particular, blankets The door handles on the back door don't latch well. The deadbolt does, but the handles need some work There were only 1 roll of toilet paper in each bathroom. We actually ended up having to buy our own to make it all weekend The hot water is not fabulous downstairs. Have about enough for whoever gets that first shower We had an amazing weekend and would come back! Thanks for having us!

Decent Accomodations

We enjoyed our stay in this roomy home. The home needs some updating especially in the upstairs restroom. This home provided a nice amount of space for our large family. Location to New Brunfels attractions is good.

Family Trip

The location and overall layout of the home was perfect! The washer and dryer worked good! The biggest issue was the plumbing. We did call the first night although I did not hear back. The master bath shower never got even warm,(cold showers each night) had nothing to do with upstairs or other shower) the commode was very slow. The kitchen cold side of faucet does not work well. We also had ants in the master bath. Things need to be tightened and checked. It would have been great if they spent some time on the deck making it ready for guests. It was worn and dirty. We could not sit and enjoy it. There were also cut down branches of trees in the middle of the yard. The cleaning crew needs to do a deep clean in the home. Overall, these few things would make it a great place to come back to. Thank you!

We were just a little disappointed with the outside of the property...the big grassy lawn was dried and dead....the area that was green hadn't been cut in a while....so kids couldn't really use the area to play in.....didn't realize water was so low so kids were unable to get into the water.....it would have been helpful if that information had been uploaded to the website.

The house was perfect for our family. We had everything we needed and plenty of room for our family of 7. My only disappointment was the overgrown river access. The weeds were very high. We were unable to enjoy the river area. That area looked nothing like the posted pictures.

The home was clean, spacious and had a very nice large - equipped kitchen. The yard was large down to the back water. Only two improvements needed. Better mattresses and secure fencing at back by the water. Our family had a great time.
