Family Vacay!

We came with our kids and grandkids for a little family vacay! The house was perfect and the grands were enthralled with the secret rooms and backyard! The kitchen had all the things needed for serving up meals after a day at the waterpark!Spacious home for 8 and walking distance to schlitterbaun! We had a blast and loved the charm of the home. Hosts made it all simple to check in and reach if there were questions. If you’re planning a trip to New Braunfels, check out the Pecan Cottage! You’ll absolutely love it!

Best trip

Pecan Cottage was an absolute delight! There was so much to do, and see, and eat all about town but we still found ourselves back at the house spending every evening in. Highly recommend this house to everyone and we will certainly be booking again when we are back in town!

Best rental in New Braunfels

We have been going to Pecan Cottage for several years now. We only stay here because of its great features. It’s close to the river, well stocked, clean, roomy, and well laid out. The backyard is great for grilling, games and just overall fun for hanging out. We have fond memories as a family of spending time there celebrating birthdays, engagements and holidays. It is by far the one home that makes us feel like it’s our own! Thank you Melissa for being the most responsive and welcoming host!

Perfect house for our family with young kids!

This place was great for our family with four kids 10 and under. So much to do in the backyard, toys inside, and of course the TV in their special room! Will definitely stay here again if we ever find ourselves in New Braunfels again!

This was our first trip to New Braunfels and the house was perfect. So many activities at the house to entertain the kids. Beds were soft and comfortable. Everything we needed was available. I would recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay.

Pecan Grove was magical and perfect for our gathering!

Wonderful setting for a family get together!! Many spaces for Clay of all ages and competitions and games! We enjoy being able to walk to downtown! We had an 18 month old with us and having the stroller and highchair option was so handy! We loved the private feel and the layout of the backyard.

Beautiful home in New Braunfels/ great location!

Our stay was nothing less than perfect! We were accommodated very well with prompt correspondence. The Hayes made the stay very welcoming with Wi-Fi passwords, children/ baby accommodations, and clear instructions for household amenities.

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!

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!

Wonderful place/location!

My large family of 12 stayed at Pecan Cottage in late June. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this adorable place! The house itself was very clean. Fully functioning kitchen, with the outdoor recreation area super fun for all family members! There is a Hobbit hole in the upstairs bedroom that all the big kids were fighting over! Such a great place for sleeping, napping or just having some alone time. The location was amazing! We could walk to the Comal, Schlitterbahn and all restaurants from the house. We will definitely be staying here again!

Perfection

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!

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!

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.

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!
