4 Bed + Loft, Secret room, Hot Tub, backyard games

This 1880 complete rebuild is the perfect nostalgic vacation home with its open kitchen and living room displaying the 141-year-old cedar siding and original bead board. This ‘one of a kind' cottage has all the modern conveniences while preserving the old-world amenities in the spacious claw foot tub. You can rest and unwind in one of the two outdoor seating areas overlooking a large fenced yard shaded by hundred-year-old pecan trees.

This 1880 complete rebuild is the perfect nostalgic vacation home with its open kitchen and living room displaying the 141-year-old cedar siding and original bead board. This ‘one of a kind' cottage has all the modern conveniences from granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances to TV’s with ROKU and Blue Ray players in multiple rooms while preserving the old-world amenities in the spacious claw foot tub. You can rest and unwind in one of the two outdoor seating areas overlooking a large fenced yard shaded by hundred-year-old pecan trees. Or, you can gaze at the stars while relaxing on your private balcony.

Once here, you can experience the delights of New Braunfels. A five-minute walk will take you world's #1 water park - Schlitterbahn. Or, you can stroll two blocks to Prince Solms park and ride the tube chute or float the river. Looking for a unique dining experience?

Centrally located and stocked
Pecan Cottage was everything we could’ve hoped for. We booked this place a year in advance because of the backyard play area! It was amazing to entertain the little ones! The house is perfectly located to anything New Braunfels and Gruene offers. Book it. You won’t regret it!

Very nice home with plenty of room.
We enjoyed our time there. Visited Gruene and drove into San Antonio to the Pearl Brewery area. The home was very spacious and comfortable. The only negative was driving on I-35 which is an absolute nightmare. This made the drive to San Antonio much more tiring than it would otherwise have been. And this is not an isolated occurrence. This also happened to us last year. The owners were available by phone and were very helpful. Whenever you stay here, be sure to bring coffee with you as well as kleenex and a lighter to light the propane grill and fire pit. There is a Keurig but no pods.

Perfect location for a float
Big house with lots of sleeping options. Back yard was very nice, we spent a lot of time out there. Driveway was able to park four cars which was great. Wonderful location! A quick walk to the Prince Solms Park entrance to the river, close walk back up Union from the last public exit, and not far from downtown locations!

Well appointed cottage walking distance to downtown
Traveled with family from East Coast for my nephews wedding and stayed at Pecan Cottage. It was clean and comfortable — outfitted with all we needed for a great stay. Close to venue and river/shopping. Enjoyed the relaxing backyard with games, hot tub and many seating areas - one with refreshing outdoor ceiling fan. The guys enjoyed using their tubes (house has many!) and river shoes to float on the river in our down time. Nieces (3&5)enjoyed the indoor toys and outdoor swing set and slide. Home cool and comfortable with nice beds/bedding. Great family getaway!

This property was tucked away in a residential area, and a perfect location for our needs. The house was close to everything. We spent a couple of days at Schlitterbahn, one day floating down the Guadalupe River and ate at the famous Gristmill Restaurant in historic Greune. The house was adequate for all 11 of us and the home was clean. It was very hot and humid outside during our stay so we didn’t spend a lot of time in the backyard, but the kids enjoyed the playground and games in the backyard. I would recommend this house for a large family. We were able to cook a few meals during our stay. We walked to Schlitterbahn. We had to cross a street and walk through the parking lot, but the front gate was close and it sure beat driving and parking.

Great for families/young kids
If you’re looking for a great house with great amenities located perfectly to do all New Braunfels things (float, water park, shopping, and dining), this should be your pick. We chose this house to help with our very active toddler and it couldn’t have been a better choice. Melissa was communicative the whole time. When we do this again, we will probably use the same house!

We booked this home for our family and some friends to celebrate my daughters college graduation. Our host, Melissa, was one of the best I have ever had. Her communication and customer service were excellent. The house easily slept 12 people. Great sitting area outside with a hot tub! The kitchen was perfect for cooking and enjoying meals!

A Wonderful Way to Winter
We liked the convenience of the neighborhood. There are lots of restaurants, bakery, coffee hangouts, ice cream shops, Landa Park and Comal River, all within walking distance. I would walk our dog at least 3 miles a day exploring the town, meeting friendly people, checking out historic sites (make sure you visit the hardware store) & counting daily the turtles on the the rock below the dam. My husband swam in the Comal River frequently which is a comfortable 72 degrees year round since it is spring fed. It was a unique experience to see deer wander in the yards and on the golf course feeding on the grass. The house was clean with all the amenities we desired, and Melissa quickly responded to any of our queries. What a great way to avoid the bulk of the Wisconsin winter!

Great location!
This home is comfortable and has great amenities. The loft space with two twin beds would be great for kids, but would be a hard ask for adults. The booking and check in process was easy, and Melissa was very helpful with any questions. Three vehicles fit on driveway, and there's space for two more at curb. Bring your own bath soap or body wash as none is provided. The location is great, and makes it easy to walk to many New Braunfels attractions.

We had a pretty large group of friends in town for a group vacation and Melissa’s property was perfect. Great location, great amenities, great value. The home is a little more geared to families with younger kids (when it comes to sleeping arrangements), but it’s more than amenable for adult groups as well. Would absolutely recommend!

Memorial Day vacation
We loved the house, yard and location. The house was very well kept and clean with plenty of room for our family. There were 10 adults and 6 children ages 7 to 1. The yard provided much entertainment for young and old! We went to Schlitterbahn two days in a row and could walk there, which was great not to worry about parking. Would love to return again in the near future. Highly recommend to all.
