Six hand-picked homes. One unforgettable region.
Riverfront homes and a private casita in historic Gruene. A hilltop villa and a lakefront estate near Canyon Lake. A peaceful Seguin retreat on the Guadalupe. Each home is locally staffed, personally hosted, and built for the kind of stay guests write home about.
Book direct and you'll always pay less than Airbnb or VRBO. Same nights, same homes, no platform fees, no surprises. Every booking goes straight to our team — locally based, intentionally small, and personally invested in your stay.
The Latigo
Gruene, New Braunfels · 1151 Gruene RoadWake up to the sound of the Guadalupe River. Sip morning coffee on the wraparound patio. Walk five minutes to Gruene Hall for a legendary night of Texas music, two-step lessons, and Shiner Bock served from a 145-year-old bar.
This is where multi-generational families gather around a custom pecan dining table that seats ten. Where four ensuite king bedrooms mean nobody fights over the bathroom. Where the back patio with its outdoor kitchen, gas fireplace, and flat-screen TV becomes the unofficial center of the trip. Where the staircase off the patio descends directly to your own private riverbank.
Gruene River Retreat
Gruene, New Braunfels · 1143 Gruene RoadModern Hill Country design meets riverside calm. This custom-built four-bedroom retreat was thought through down to the brass pot filler over the stove and the herringbone-tiled fireplace surround. Soaring ceilings, exposed beams, designer leather sofas, and built-ins that hold both crystal glassware and Scrabble.
The patio is where you'll spend most of your time. A built-in grill, an outdoor fireplace with custom tile, a 9-person wicker lounge, dining for twelve, and yes, a real putting green carved into the lawn overlooking the Guadalupe. A private stone staircase winds down through cypress trees to a riverside swing where you can lose an afternoon.
Casa Gruene Casita
Gruene, New Braunfels · 1155 Gruene RoadNot every trip needs a house that sleeps twelve. This is the one for two couples, a quiet long weekend, or the parents who came along for the wedding and would rather have their own front door. A private casita on the Guadalupe with its own entrance, its own patio, and nobody sharing your space.
Evenings happen outside. A stone fire pit ringed with Adirondack chairs, bistro lights strung through a live oak, and stone steps that drop you down to your own landing on the river. In the morning it is about five minutes on foot to Gruene Hall, the Gristmill, and the shops, and then you come back to a place that stays quiet.
Lariat Springs
Canyon Lake area · 3760 Lariat Ridge, New BraunfelsBuilt for the trips that have to be unforgettable. Lariat Springs sits high on a ridge between Canyon Lake and New Braunfels, with six private guest suites organized around a central great room, three villa-style cottages, and an outdoor estate that includes a hilltop infinity pool, hot-spring-style spa, pizza oven, gas grill, and covered "Ice House" lounge with a 400-pound ice machine and beverage station.
This is the property for milestone weddings, corporate retreats, family reunions where everyone needs their own bathroom, and groups of friends who want resort-grade amenities in total privacy. Each suite is designed like a boutique hotel: hybrid mattress, smart TV, private en-suite, in-room bar with coffee and beverage cooler. One ground-floor suite is fully wheelchair accessible with a walk-in shower.
Highland Haven
Canyon Lake · 585 Highland TerraceBuilt for the trip where everybody comes. Eighteen people across three floors, four king suites with their own baths, and a bunk room for the cousin crew, so nobody draws the short straw and ends up on a couch. A private elevator runs all three floors, which is the reason grandparents can come and nobody gets left out of the plan.
The top floor is the gathering floor: kitchen, long dining table, wet bar, and a wall of glass looking straight out at Canyon Lake, with a deck that holds the whole group at sunset. The bottom floor is where the night keeps going. A full game room with real arcade cabinets, shuffleboard and ping pong, a media room with recliners and a popcorn machine, and a play room for the little ones. Kids can be loud downstairs while the adults keep talking upstairs.
The Birdbath
Seguin · 1121 Burges Street · On the Guadalupe RiverA peaceful riverside hideaway down a quiet road in Seguin, just thirty minutes from Gruene and twenty from New Braunfels. Newly remodeled inside, with an open-concept living area, fully stocked kitchen, and modern design touches that punch above the price point. Two bedrooms downstairs and a quad bunk setup for the kids or a group of four friends.
The real draw is outside. A private dock on the Guadalupe River, three paddle boards waiting for you, a fire pit ringed with Adirondack chairs, and a 600-square-foot wraparound deck with a chiminea for cool evenings. Watch ducks paddle by with morning coffee. Float the river. Walk down to the river hangout area, light a fire, and stay up until the stars come out.
