Tiny House Hideaway
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!

Charming 2nd Story Lake House Retreat + Kayaks
We had a wonderful Father’s Day weekend getaway! The renovation of this 1960s building was impressive—modern, stylish, and comfortable. The apartment was exactly as pictured; clean, well-maintained, and perfectly sized for two people. It was well-stocked with all the essentials we needed, and we really appreciated the thoughtful touches throughout. Check-in and check-out were smooth, and the host was very informative and responsive. We especially enjoyed relaxing with the guest Roku after our outings. Jet skiing at Canyon Lake (about 30 minutes away) was a highlight, and we also spent an evening out in New Braunfels. Great location for a mix of relaxation and adventure. We’d definitely recommend this place and would love to come back!

5 min from Whitewater | Hot Tub | Pool Table | BBQ

Cabins in New Braunfels

Owl Spring Ranch Bunkhouse
Came here with my partner for my birthday. We had so many plans to go do things for example going to San Antonio. We decided just to stay and relax after getting to the bunkhouse. We enjoyed the privacy, the peaceful surroundings and all of the nature. Loved the set up of the house. It was a very cozy vibe, and it was lovely to be able to take a bath and that huge tub water was definitely hot and enjoyable. Seeing all of the animals was such a plus the sunsets are breathtaking. We even got to experience a little storm and that was awesome being Stuck in the house watching a movie and just enjoying our time. Would definitely recommend staying here especially if you’re wanting to get away from the city life. We would definitely come back. Also the town Boerne was very cool. Had a lot to do for it being a small town we recommend trying the huge cinnamon roll the size of your face at Richter Bakhaus. Relaxing in the pool with that view is something we miss and hope to experience again soon

Cypress Creek Cabin
Nice and peaceful house to stay in. My husband myself and 6 year old grandson stayed in this home. Nice to have a paddle board and tubes at the house to float on. Very nice yard , loved that you can walk right down to the creek from the back yard. My grandson caught a few fish and enjoyed releasing them back into the water. We will definitely rent this property again. Perfect location. Thank you.

"Little Green" Cabin on 28 Acres near Wimberley
What can I say by far the best bnb we have ever stayed in. The bed was comfy. The jacuzzi was amazing.. Every morning we enjoyed a good seat on the patio drinking our coffee and bird watching. We were visited by the doggies and rabbits. And we enjoyed going to see the horses. We so needed to disconnect-WiFi and TV no problem. We had planned to eat at restaurants but turned out we bought the food to eat there and just stayed in enjoying every moment. We didn't want to leave. Lora is kind and friendly. We got a brief chance to chat with her as we were leaving. We are already planning our next stay for September Thanks Lora and Clark for making our 40th wedding anniversary stay at the Little Green a time to remember.

Log Cabin at Burke Rock Ranch "The Hive"
If you enjoy peace and quiet this is the place ! I could sit on the porch and watch the humming birds for hours. The property is beautiful and Brigitte & Shawn are wonderful host. We will definitely be coming back to visit.

Romantic cabin @The Blanco - Hot Tub - Deck View
We stayed at the blanco cabin and it was a great weekend getaway. The cabin was the perfect amount of space for my husband and I. The hot tub on the deck was really nice and already heated when we arrived. It was a peaceful retreat in nature but still close enough to restaurants and shopping. We would definitely stay again!

Canyon Lake Cabin-The Creel Inn
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.

Lux Retreat in DWELL mag! BURNING CREEK w/Pool&SPA
Oh my goodness, Burning Creek was a dream! From 15 to 73, we all loved it. It was the perfect place to celebrate not one, but two birthdays! (Our family of 6 included 3 generations, and mom and son share a birthday.) It was also the perfect location to visit Texas Tubes for tubing, Wimberly for a romantic anniversary dinner, and the outlet mall. We loved our starlit swims and late night chats by the beautiful pool. We hope to come back soon!

The Cabin at Hill Country Nature Retreat
The place matched the pictures perfectly and was even better to experience. The stars were beautiful and the trail to the ancient oak tree was a nice surprise as well as all the chickens we were able to sit and feed. Will definitely be returning.

Downtown Gem | Studio 3 at Beer Ranch Project Inn
We absolutely loved our stay at Kathryn’s place! The location was amazing for our friend’s wedding weekend. The studio is exactly as described. We loved how cozy and relaxing it felt. Walkable to the little downtown area, lots to do nearby. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Wimberley!

Chess Room, XBox, Games, Snacks, Books, king bed
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 !

Blanco Riverside Getaway - Villa Two
Such a beautiful place to stay-inside & out! Everything felt so luxurious. Loved the villa atmosphere . We enjoyed walking down to the river. We had drinks next door at the bistro. My husband and I both absolutely loved it!

King Room in Boutique Hotel with Pool
We had the best time staying at the Bygone for our one year anniversary! The staff were all very helpful and so kind, and we loved the activities and amenities offered. We will definitely come back!!

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

SJ1 Adult Only Suites walking distance Shakira
This was perfect for a quick weekend in San Antonio where we really only used the room to sleep and bathe! A cute room and a fantastic bathtub.

Wimberley Inn Vibes w/ Free Breakfast, Pool, Hot Tub, Large TV, Tesla Charger and Parking
Happy with the accommodation. It was super easy to find and get inside. The hot tub was nice temperature, and the king size bed comfortable. I would go back.

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.

The majority of the pools are comfortably heated, and food options range from barbecue, burgers, and traditional fairground food.
New Braunfels Railroad Museum
