The house was perfect for our large group! We loved having the pool to entertain the kids while the adults could rest in the afternoons. The kitchen had everything we needed and was the perfect open concept so all of our group could spend time together. The location was close to New Braunfels, San Antonio, and Seguin so everything we wanted to do was really close. The air conditioning wasnât working when we got there and Randy was there with a repairman within minutes to add the coolant needed. We were impressed with his response time to our issue. Overall, it was a wonderful stay for us!
Took our family vacation, children and grandchildren. Iâll start with what was good. There was plenty of room for everyone and the pool was great. They did provide some towels, toilet paper, washer and dryer which was great. The cons were the home was dirty. They charge a cleaning fee but the fans in the living room looked like they had not been cleaned in a year. The curtains in the living room were stained and dirty, the kitchen was not clean. There was food splattered on the cabinets, walls, no vent for the stove, the toaster was old and dirty inside, we did not use. The walls by the ac vents had thick dust and most of us have allergies. I woke up every day with my eyes swollen and my throat hurting. There is a hole in the ceiling near the entry. One of the bathrooms down stairs smelt of sewage and had a gap behind the toilet. The beds were not comfortable. The outdoor furniture is old and mismatched and there is a hole in the concrete by the pool and the tile was very slippery. The barbecue pit is filthy and when we tried to use it, it caught fire because it had not been cleaned. The creek behind the home is not usable for fishing, kayaking, or basically anything. The cleaning fee is too high for how dirty it was. I had to clean and sweep upon arrival. We would not rent again due to the price and cleanliness. By the time we left all the kids had runny noses. The Pool sticks were old with broken or missing tips and check out is at 11 but they showed up at 10am.
Overall just ok, house was big enough to accommodate all of our family. However, the house was a little bit older a little disappointed that the patio table in the pool area were in separate places the pool had really narrow edge that clearly had a lack of maintenance. The outside patio furniture and furniture looked rather worn and old, all of our family said the beds were bad. The one that me and my husband slept in constantly squeaked every time you would move the dishwasher did not work. They had a grill however we had to buy propane for it because it was empty, and it was by a railroad track or literally you could wave at the conductor and see him clearly. Landscaping not well maintain lots of ants, which is expected due to be in Texas. Upon checkout, we were told checkout time was at 11 maintenance came by at 10 oâclock while we were packing. Kind of weirdâŠfelt kind of rushed to get out of there, although he did say take your time getting out and was very nice. I would definitely give this a good review however probably will not book again only because I would like something a little bit newer and modern but If you just need a house with lots of rooms, reasonably priced this will be ok for sleeping just know it is a bit older and dated.
We loved this property!! The location is wonderful. Right in between Seguin and New Braunfels. The house is in a secluded place at the end of an alley road, I know that sounds crazy but it is actually PERFECT & PRIVATE! We went on walks in the morning and the area is safe and friendly. There is a Dollar General in walking distance. The pool and house are so clean. The ac worked excellent! It is very comfortable and the floor plan is great for a big group. The host was very friendly! We will absolutely stay again.
Our family of 20 stayed and the home was wonderful. Very spacious. Allowed everyone to have their own personal space to unwind while giving us plenty of room to congregate also. The pool was clean and very refreshing in this Texas heat. Dollar General right around the corner for everything you may have forgotten. We did spend an afternoon I. Gruene that we enjoyed Randy, thank you for sharing your beautiful home.
The house was fine, it was not disclosed that it is literally fear from a train track, but there was only one train that came by the last night we were there. Pool was great, the students enjoyed it and it met the needs for an economical price!
I made a reservation with VRBO and when my family and friends arrived there, the place looked like it had not been cleaned in days. Location of house was in a secluded spot in front of railroad tracks. The outside of house was dingy and rundown and looked not maintained. The bottom of pool was dirty and we were afraid to make use of it. The basketball court was in front of old railroad track. The interior of the home was decent and good atmosphere but not clean and well maintained as shown in the photos. The floors were dirty and dusty, not swept or mopped. It was so dusty that one of my friend's allergies flared up. The bathroom looked as if someone used it before us, with used towel and a dirty toilet. There were roaches and spiderwebs inside the rooms, especially upstairs rooms. The temperature regulation in the house was very bad as the bedrooms were freezing and the main room was hot. The main TV was not set up. The backyard porch was also dirty and stained chair pads and broken chairs. Only good about this place is as the wooded trees in backyard. I contacted the owner, he came with another person and he setup the TV and removed some leaves from the pool. Even after that, the house was not properly cleaned. The amount they charged for cleaning fee, there was no cleaning and services provided. Our overall stay experience with the house was not at all worth the amount of money they highly charged us. Felt so disappointed about this experience.
This house is in an unusual place BUT donât let that deter you. The house itself is wonderful. It had plenty of room for my four kids and all eight of my grandkids. We loved sitting around the pool in March and we even took a dip in the pool. We will definitely be going back for another fun family trip.
Area was secluded which was nice. We used the pool everyday, it was very clean. At night when it got cold we used the large pit to light a fire on the back patio to stay warm. Used the basketball court daily as well for some competition. One of the basketball hoops is damaged so we just used the one. It looks like someone was dunking on it and damaged it in the past. Other than that, everything was great. We also used enjoyed the pool table the entire time we were all there.
This venue is the perfect choice for large families looking for a comfortable and spacious location to gather and spend quality time together. With private spaces and multiple bathrooms, each family member can have their own space while still being together. The beautiful views of the surrounding area add to the overall ambiance of the location, making it a tranquil and picturesque setting. While the pool may be a little chilly, it provides a refreshing option for those looking to cool off on a hot day. The addition of 2 fridges makes it convenient for storing and preparing food for the whole family, making it ideal for entertaining. And for some indoor fun, the pool table is a great source of entertainment and bonding for all ages. Overall, this venue is the perfect combination of comfort, convenience, and fun for large families looking to create unforgettable memories together.
There were 8 of us that stayed and we found the roominess very comfortable. It was cold outside during our stay but the house was very warm. We thought we didn't have hot water in a few sinks but the plumbing was switched so ended up having plenty of hot water. We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.
The house was spacious and we enjoyed ourselves. No closets or place to hang clothes. Long driveway full of potholes. Strange location but once inside, nice & comfy.
The property was great as far as amenities, space, and privacy. It was just my partner and I but we would definitely love to go back with our family to enjoy all the outdoor activities together. The only things we felt could be better were cleanliness, updated fixtures, and properly connected tv/internet. For the most part everything was clean/organized, especially the pool which was great, but the floor couldâve been swept more, there was some crumbs in the microwave, and a couple of roaches around the house. The house as whole is very nice and lots of space, but there were some areas that could use renovating, like the flooring upstairs that had some heavy scratches or even some of the furniture could be updated due to some of the water and tear. Additionally, the secludedness of the house is great but because of it I think the pool and basketball area could benefit from additinal/brighter lights. Lastly, having tvâs equipped with streaming capabilities in almost every room was nice but none of them seemed to be connected to the internet or simply didnât turn on. Ultimately, I made these notes because the total cost of the stay felt like these minor faults should have been addressed, but these faults did NOT prevent us from having a good time at the house, nor will it keep us from returning. We still enjoyed everything and look forward to our next stay at this house. Thank you :)
Our family had an amazing stay at this vacation rental! The property had everything we needed for a perfect getaway. The pool was a fantastic spot to relax and cool off, and the nearby creek added a peaceful touch to the surroundings. The basketball court was a hit with our group, providing hours of fun and activity.
There was plenty of parking available, which easily accommodated our large group. The house itself was kept wonderfully cool, and the spacious layout ensured that everyone had plenty of room to spread out without feeling cramped. Each room was comfortable, making it easy to unwind after a day of activities.
The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed to prepare meals, adding to the convenience of our stay. Overall, this rental exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation spot!
House was clean overall. Everything worked well in house including AC. The pool was nice but needed at pool net for cleaning. Great location. Disappointed no water in creek and that not all rooms had a TV. Owner checked in to see if we were enjoying house. Overall would definitely stay again!
The house was very spacious and everything was just as listed. The upstairs got pretty warm, but there was a box fan that helped. Overall we had a great time.
Upstairs bedding was not clean. A hoodie was found in a bed between the sheets. We had to repair the shower head in long skinny shower. Back door unlocked when we arrived. Iâm we liked the arrangement of the house, kitchen good.good location. Thank you
We had a bunch of family stay here for a wedding that was nearby. We didn't use the pool, and the creek was really low because of construction up at the dam, but the house took care of our needs just fine. I would happily stay again.
