Location: right on the lake which was awesome, “only” 4 or so miles from New Braunfels (but ends up being about 15 mins each way). Most of the restaurants, grocery stores, etc are in NB so plan on a drive. The water level was about 2-3 feet below the dock, which made getting rafts, etc in/out a bit more difficult. Amenities: the house was well stocked with towels, cooking supplies, basic spices. There was a canoe that we didn’t use because we weren’t sure we could get it back on the dock, and a raft with life jackets that we did use. TVs inside and out. Tons of beds/bedrooms/bathrooms. Cons: the management company needs to proactively go through the house and fix things. There was no pack n play even though I confirmed one, but Darren went and bought one and delivered it within a few hours. The upstairs AC stopped working, and Darren had a maintenance guy and an AC guy out within hours (the condenser needs to be replaced as it still struggled to cool below 75). The upstairs dryer stopped drying clothes, maybe there’s quite a bit of lint in the system that likely needs to be cleaned out. Fortunately, there is another washer and dryer downstairs. The drain plug for the nice big bathtub is stripped so the tub did not hold water well. You have to manually open the microwave as the button doesn’t work to open it.All in all, we had a good stay, but for the price point, we expected everything to be functioning, and we should’ve checked how far it was from town time-wise.

Fun, family vacation

We stayed here with one other family and our adult children. We enjoyed the home. The pool was a nice escape and the ping pong and corn hole boards were fun. The house was big enough for everyone to escape for their own retreat, or all come together. We just wish we would have known to bring soap and shampoo/conditioner. This is the first VRBO we have stayed in that didn't provide at least something for the shower. Other than that, we loved the home.

Fun family place with a few kinks

We (family of 13 adults) enjoyed the layout, the decor, the well stocked kitchen, and the pool/deck. The house needed additional cleaning when we got there for spider webs inside and the garage floor which was covered in mouse droppings. The property manager did respond to that issue. The house suffers from a drainage problem which made the dishwasher inoperable and is causing damage to the downstairs flooring. We had an A/C and an appliance repairman come during the five day stay. The A/C was adequate but just (neither issue was resolved). Hopefully, those issues will get ironed out, the dead trees on adjacent properties will be removed, and the lake will refill soon.
