PROPERTY HISTORY:

Embrace the living legacy of this perfectly imperfect home's rich history. One of the original German family homesteads, this property dates back to the 1800s and is conveniently located by Market Plaza (the location of settlers' tent shows to buy, sell, and trade produce and wares). Market Plaza is a 0.7-acre park with trees, two benches, and a drinking fountain, and it is the ideal spot to walk your dog or watch the roaming neighborhood deer.

The current owner's connection to the property dates back over 40 years. Their love for New Braunfels and passion for its German roots are evident throughout the home.

Wonderful house in perfect location
I was able to get our family of six together for a short vacation before kids went back to college. This house was a perfect place to stay. Well furnished and very clean. The location is perfect! 15 minute walk to entry point of river and 15 minute walk back from the last river exit. 3 minute walk to excellent restaurants. Also fun to see all the deer.

Great stay for thanksgiving!
We stayed in this lovely house to visit family for the holiday. It had a quirky layout with plenty of space and nooks for people to hang out in. It was walking distance to everything we needed, like naeglin’s bakery. Only wish there were some extra warm blankets as New Braunfels gets chilly in November.

A wonderful walkable location!
My girlfriend and I stayed at Downtown Prost and had the best time. Thank you for having us stay. We enjoyed the house very much (especially sitting out on the back patio with a bottle of wine)! The location was excellent, it was only a five-minute walk to dinner downtown and a 15-minute walk to the river! Definitely will book here again!

Cute house in great location
This house is in a great location- walking distance to cute New Braunfels downtown area with shops and dining. Also walking distance to river tubing. The house is roomy and fit our family of four comfortably. Our only suggestions for improvement are adding more blankets for the beds and the master bath needs a toilet paper holder.

Super convenient, fun neighborhood
We were here for a long weekend before school started. We REALLY enjoyed how convenient it was to tubing, dinner, and even the oldest bakery in Texas. Our mornings were delighted by delicious fresh pastries each day. We brought our dog, who romped in the park across the street. The house is charming and well kept, but kind of small and quirky. We had a delightful conversation with the owner/manager about our departure. It was a really nice stay in a fun little town. We will be back!

Wonderful location
Very nice spacious home! Great location. Only recommendation I have is maybe build a cute little bunk bed in the middle section with the little kids table, as the glass desk isn’t really needed when you have the desk in the sunroom. But that’s just an idea! Lovely time here!

Perfect getaway
We had six people including 2 kids. The setup of the house was perfect and spacious enough for everyone. The extra sink in the wash room worked out well so everyone could get ready at the same time. Great quiet location and love seeing the deer in the evening. The house was very clean and ample items in the kitchen. Would highly recommend for your stay!

LOCATION
I came to meet a friend for antique shopping, but will certainly bring my family this summer. This charming house in downtown New Braunfels has the perfect location. I enjoyed being able to walk to downtown antique stores, coffee shops, bakeries, restaurants and bars. I KNOW my family will join me this summer to walk to the river and a local tubing business. We may even come back during Wurstfest..it is also walkable..less than 10 blocks.

Great location!
Overall our stay was very nice. The beds (especially the pullouts) are not comfortable so sadly we didn’t sleep well but this was our only downside. The location if you plan to float the river is incredible. We walked 50ft and were at 444 tubing. We also were able to walk downtown. The only time we needed an Uber was to dinner. There were more than plenty of towels and paper towels, soap, etc. which was wonderful. Such a cute house with so much history and we had deer in our backyard and front yard every morning. The only reason I wouldn’t give this property five stars is because of the pullout beds/mattresses. Other than that the property was amazing, the manager of the property was very sweet, and the house was a perfect size for seven girls. Thank you so much!! We can’t wait to come back and float again!

Love the stay
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location to downtown and Wurst Fest. Love the location and historic homes. The house is a bit of an oddity. You can tell where add ons have been made to this old house. As a result, the flooring is different and higher elevation in some places. Love the yard. I would stay her again.

The Awkward Fun House
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Could not be in a better location. Walking distance to Schlitterbahn, Comal River tube chute and several restaurants and breakfast hot spots. House is as expected from an older NB home on the river.However, if you are renting a home for vacation and are expecting privacy. This is not for you. There is a garage apartment 3 feet from the side door. Someone is living there or it is being rented out also. 2 nights into our stay we were greeted with 7 guests next door in the garage apartment. 1 of the showers was working properly. Master bath shower didn't want to drain and needed a large jug of draino. The location made up for some the downfalls but coming home to 7 guests nextdoor unexpectedly was a drag. Won't be happening again for us

Weird Weekend Stay
You’re paying for location with this one. It’s just blocks away from downtown and from most of the tube companies. Parts of the house were cute, and it was a pretty comfortable stay. What wasn’t great were the upwards of five roaches, both dead and alive, that we shared the home with. As well as the spiders. Additionally, the house is just straight up old and probably in need of a lot of repairs and refurbishments. One side of the house seems to fully slant downwards to the right (you can really tell in the hall that leads from the kitchen and the back bedroom). In that same back right bedroom, the wall is completely pulling away from the baseboard. It’s very hard to wash your face in the bathroom because the mirror has a large shelf that juts out so far you smack your head into it when you lean over. So your options are just drenching yourself and the floor in water. The layout of the home is bizarre, and as a previous review mentions, the headboard in one of the bedrooms is up against a door the leads into another bedroom and you can hear everything everyone is saying. And while we had no issues with any of the house rules, they were so aggressively repeated on every single piece of paperwork we received or signed and then also listed on the fridge, that we 100% thought we would be charged a fine for simply existing and it became a bit of a running joke. I know this is definitely because of people who come to New Braunfels to party hard in the river, there aren’t rules like this without people who have broken them to begin with. It was just A LOT for six 30-somethings who just wanted to sleep and shower and not get charged $50 for forgetting to put the trash can on the street. Anyway. It was a fine place to sleep at night.
