Riverfront Country Lodge (#1 Trout Fishing in TX)

BrandyRating, 5 stars1 day ago
We love this place right on the river. The house is roomy, comfy and has the best scenery. There is direct access to the river via the back yard. The beds are very comfortable, and we had all the needed amenities. Hope to stay here year after year. (This was our 2nd trip to this house).

Tiny House Hideaway

JulieRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Love, Love, Love the Tiny House Hideaway! This was our 2nd visit, and it was all that I remembered it to be and more! We stayed for 4 nights this time, and we can’t wait to go back. It is the perfect place if you wat to get away from the city hustle but want to be close enough to things to do. You can relax on the patio and enjoy a pleasant view of the trees blowing in the wind, listen to the birds, take a hike around the property, and we even saw a few deer one night. The house is super clean, well planned out and organized, bed is ooh so comfortable and if you need internet, there is no problem getting a great connection. Everything you can possibly need is in the house – They really thought this place through. We totally love building and relaxing around a campfire, and the house has plenty of wood around it AND . . . they even had skews for roasting dogs and marshmallows! Needless to say . . . this is a great choice and the location is great! You won’t be disappointed!

Hilltop Paradise! Valley View! King & Queen beds!

OmarRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We’ve stayed at this Airbnb several times now, and each visit has been consistently excellent. The space is always spotless, well-stocked, and incredibly comfortable. It’s clear that Kelly put a lot of thought into making guests feel welcome — from the thoughtful touches to the fast communication. The location is perfect for tubing, boating, or a quiet weekend getaway, and it truly feels like a home away from home. Highly recommend and looking forward to our next stay!

Downtown Hot/Cold Spa Cozy Cottage River Schlitter

MelissaRating, 5 stars3 days ago
We have been coming to New Braunfels frequently over the past year as my oldest trains at the tennis academy. This was the first time staying at this gem. It had everything you would need for your stay. The beds were comfortable and great pillows. We enjoyed the hot tub. It was a quick walk to Schlitterbahn. Perfect location if you don’t want all the noise of the river but still want to be close to all the action. Kristy was an amazing host. She was super responsive to any questions I had. So much nicer than dealing with the normal big company property managers. We will definitely return in the future.

Cabin Sweet Serengeti Safari Ranch

KristinRating, 5 stars1 week ago
The ranch was amazing. The animals were free roaming and visited our cabin often. Our family had an absolute blast feeding and petting them. This was an amazing experience and we have already booked our return trip. Myra took us around the ranch to make sure we were able to see all of the animals up close. If you are an animal lover I highly recommend. Cabin was clean and had everything we needed. Close to town but very private area. Host was so friendly and responsive.

Recharge in our exclusive modern cabin!

ChristopherRating, 5 starstoday
My family and I loved staying at this cozy home nestled into the beautiful nature of the Texas Hill Country. Pulling in felt like arriving at a private resort, and we all enjoyed sitting on the rocking chairs on the deck to watch the stunning sunset. Our kids loved playing in the perfect sized pool, and the adults loved the experience of relaxing in the sauna while listening to the birds sing outside. The retro arcade cabinet was a huge hit with the kids (and with me, I’ll admit), and we enjoyed watching a family movie on the projector screen upstairs (the kids felt like they were in a private movie theatre). Maria and Larry are incredibly welcoming and proactive hosts; if you need anything at all, they won’t hesitate to help. I could not recommend this place higher, and we definitely will be coming back!

Canyon Lake Cabin-The Creel Inn

PatiRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This stay was exactly what my husband I needed! I just sat outside and listened to the birds early in the morning, something I also love doing at home. I could've sat outside all day if it wasn't Texas in June! ha! The cabin itself was just as described. The photos do make it seem a bit bigger but honestly, you don't need bigger for 2 people. We went to Canyon to just spend time on the water. After over doing it the first day, we instead, chose to spend our second full day just enjoying the cabin. We had some hot tub time in the afternoon, played board games for a couple of hours, and just rested! For anyone worried about how close the cabin is to the main house, don't worry! It's positioned for privacy! It was so stinking relaxing and I can't wait to go back.

My stay here was absolutely amazing and fun, I love all the games and activities that were available here, and in such a cute area too. I will most certainly be booking another stay here again, I was absolutely in love with the whole place, cool art and detailed. There was even a binder filled with helpful information (restaurants, emergency contacts, where to find what in the house etc.) and Debbie was so sweet she made me feel right at home🥹 I wish I could’ve extended my stay, can’t wait until next time !

Chandler Suite at Square Inn. A 2 Room Suite that sleeps up to 6 people

BenRating, 5 stars3 months ago
This place is budget friendly considering the area, extremely clean and perfectly located. Lloyd cooks a fantastic breakfast and will sit and eat with you openly discussing anything you wish to talk about. He will answer any questions regarding the town with interest as if its the first time hes heard it. Just an amazing man that make you feel at home. Here is some friendly advice to ensure your trip goes as planned. If you need and early or late check in, CALL to speak with them, do not message them they will not write back. We also love to take our showers at night and when we returned from ziplining they had left for the day and we realzied we had no shower curtain. Not enought to deter my 5 star review but just something to look for when you book and arrive. This will be our first choice when we return to Wimberley.

Your guide to New Braunfels

All About New Braunfels

New Braunfels, located by the cold spring rivers of Guadalupe and Comal, is a small Texan town, but by no means typical. Founded by a German prince in 1845, the area has a unique culture derived from its heritage as a German colony, with German nomenclature and influences visible in the town’s local businesses and 19th-century buildings. Cultural quirks aside, the main draws of the area include the aforementioned Guadalupe and Comal Rivers, which attract visitors for their clear, cool waters — great for rafting, tubing, and kayaking. The town’s outer reaches are filled with campgrounds, vineyards, and cabins, and Landa Park, on the shores of the Comal River, features sprawling trails, a miniature train, paddle boats, and lush scenery.

New Braunfels’ Gruene District is a Nationally Registered Historic District, where you can dine in a 19th-century cotton gin, or enjoy live music at one of the oldest dance halls in Texas. The town is also home to several museums, such as the Museum of Texas Handmade Furniture, showcasing artisan pieces from local craftsmen through history, and McKenna Children's Museum, an interactive kids’ attraction that teaches children about space and technology.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in New Braunfels

The best times to consider a vacation rental in New Braunfels are the months of August through November. The temperatures are warm but not uncomfortably hot, and accommodations are usually at more reasonable prices than during the spring and summer. Wurstfest, in November, is one of New Braunfels’ longest running annual festivals. A celebration of German culture, sausages, and breweries, Wurstfest promotes local eateries and crafts, letting visitors try on traditional clothes and enjoy the various interpretations of German wurst sausages. In addition, Wassailfest is New Braunfels’ own take on the traditional German festival. It’s named after wassail, a hot drink made from mulled cider and spices. Guests can wander through vendor stalls with a collector’s mug, sample local food, and watch holiday celebrations with cider in hand.


Top things to do in New Braunfels

Tube the Comal River

Schlitterbahn

Consistently recommended as an exceptional water park and one of New Braunfels’ great attractions, Schlitterbahn offers a variety of aquatic attractions such as water slides, gargantuan pools, obstacle courses, and a waterside playground for younger guests. The majority of the pools are comfortably heated, and food options range from barbecue, burgers, and traditional fairground food.

New Braunfels Railroad Museum

The New Braunfels Railroad Museum, also known as the New Braunfels Historic Railroad and Modelers Society, is an organization and show space dedicated to preserving railroad history, from preserved artifacts and photographs to the celebration of various model trains. Amtrak trains pass by twice a day, and the museum interior showcases a variety of running model trains on dioramas and tracks.
