We had such a great experience. Suzanne is such a great host from reservation to check in and check out. The property was nice, convenient and had everything we needed. We can’t wait to stay again!!
Great fishing spot! We cought & saw bass all week long. Water is deep in spots & flowing. Pools & hot tubs were very clean. Highly rated condo, we had a blast..
We always enjoy the Hill Country in spring. This was a great centralized location to venture out on day trips to other Hill Country locations. Took one day just to lay by the pool and read on a blanket under the trees by the river and it was very relaxing. Great communication with the owner and found the accommodation to be quiet and relaxing.
Our stay was amazing! The host had a binder full of tubing locations, tubes with air pumps, beach towels AND sunscreen for us to use. Our kiddos loved the on site pool. We spotted several squirrels and birds in the tree next to the porch. Thank you for the stay!
The condo was fantastic, had everything we needed. Easy communication with host. Great location for us, close to everything we had planned. Would stay here again.
We had a great time. The property manager was responsive and very kind. The property was very clean and had everything we needed. Great location and an all around 5 star.
It was a beautiful property with river access which was exactly what we were looking for. Easy check in and check out. The property owner is well organized and detailed, which I appreciate.
We came to town for Wurstfest- our first year bringing an infant with us so the fact that the check in was so easy, the property was clean but cozy, and in a great location were big perks! We were so close to downtown and to Gruene, We actually loved being on the top floor with no one above us or to one side of us, as well as facing our to the back of the property versus parking lot/other buildings. Would absolutely stay here again!!
We had a great time staying at the property! It was a very private unit with a great patio and view. Comfortably accommodated 3 adults. Nice jacuzzi and pool and private river access. Suzanne was very responsive and clearly communicated details about the stay.
We had a great visit and the condo exceeded our expectations. Everything was clean and ready for us early. They even had tubes for us to use and lots of good suggestions and info for us for local things to do. Thank you for a great stay!
Great spot by the property to post up on the river. Everything was clean and it was a good size for our group of 6. Location was perfect for the river, Schlitterbahn and Gruene. Will definitely book here again.
Layout of
the condo was great for the three of us. Centrally located and was easy to figure the vicinity. The river was low unfortunately, but still a gorgeous setting!!
We came to New Braunsfels to celebrate my daughter’s birthday at Schlitterbahn. We enjoyed our stay at the Treetop Retreat. It was very clean, in a safe and centralized location, and it was roomy enough for the 4 of us. The check in and out process was very easy.
Loved seeing the deer out on the landscape. Wish we would have had more time to explore the grounds.
We would definitely stay here again.
Nicely kept condo on 3rd floor. Allowed for pretty views and deer watching. Pool and hot tubs were fun extra. Small balcony just right for coffee in the morning with the birds and deer.

Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
The condo was dirty. The cookware was so old and worn that I could not use it. This place was so outdated and unkept that we could not believe the owners would charge so much for a run down unit. The dryer had a piercing noise that was unbelievable. The woodwork, washer area and the return air vent were dirty and dusty. The condo was in a private area with no outside noises so we did sleep there. I did not complain to the owner because there were so many areas that needed improvement that it would have been impossible to make them right. We have never stayed in a VRBO location that was so unkept and “unloved” by the owners.
