We had a wonderful time! This home was spacious and a beautiful backyard view of the river! The check in/out process was easy. We would definitely stay here again.
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.
The home was on a great location on the river! We all enjoyed the dock and floating out back, as well as close proximity to the Comal to float. Overall, the home just needs to be updated and some amenities upgraded. The consistent word among myself and friends was that the beds were all hard and/or uncomfortable. Also, time to pull up the carpet and put in something that can be sanitized easier. The house was plenty big, loved the big kitchen and table with plenty of seating. Just needs some TLC and updating.

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 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!
We enjoyed staying at this property. The large backyard was a plus for playing games and the fire pit was wonderful. The large open kitchen, dining and living room were a big plus. We recommend this property for a fun getaway.

Graduation stay
The place was perfect and we had a good time with family and had really nice pictures on the property for my sons graduation pictures from Texas State. We would definitely go back and stay again the hose and yard were both beautiful. Thank you
This was a fantastic meeting ground for us to meet our soldier halfway! The property was close to everything but also yet secluded enough for us to get the much-needed family time. Everyone had their space to relax, but also had great gathering spaces for us to play games hang out by the lake, fish and to catch fireflies. Core memories were made, and these were fantastic accommodations for our short time together.

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 had a great time.
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.
