Amazing location and great house for a big group
We went with friends to Wurstfest and this place was the perfect location. We were just a 15 minute walk and ever closer to the square. It was so fun being walking distance to everything and not having to worry about getting an uber was amazing. The house itself was so perfect and plenty of beds to accommodate. Already booked for next year!

Happy 40th Birthday !
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: We celebrated our daughters 40th birthday with family and friends. The home comfortably slept 10 adults. We all enjoyed the layout of the house. Large groups gathered in the kitchen and living area. The home was full of charm and provided everything we needed. The location was perfect. We walked to the 444 tubing company and walked to the square. We hope to return soon.

You cant beat the comal with friends
great property. General area middle of the Comal River with easy river access. We used private access some and took short walk to drop in at Landa Park. Only concern is that another full bath is needed. House sleeps 15. Too few bathrooms for that for sure. Maybe install an outdoor shower? That would be great for post river bathing.

Relaxing Stay
The house is old, but it is kept up well. Everything was clean when we arrived. Check in and check out was an easy process. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood on to the Comal River and is within walking distance to downtown. The kitchen is decently stocked with dishes and utensils. We saw countless deer and other wildlife roaming the neighborhood. If you want to float the river, Prince Solms Park to the entrance/exit by the house is about a 45 minute float, and Prince Solms Park to the last public river exit is a couple of hours. You can bring your own tube and walk over to Prince Solms Park where the tube chute is located. I would definitely stay here again!

Delightful slice of Texas
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: This is the second winter we've stayed at Star Haus, and it's like an old friend. The giant kitchen will accommodate all your projects, and everyone can relax in the recliners in the living room. The back porch is wonderful in a rainstorm. Easy walk to Muck & Fuss. Love love you, Star Haus.

Lovely Stay
I lease VRBO homes frequently as I own a scuba shop and it makes it easy to keep students and divers together for fun and training during road trips. My divers loved this home close to the Comal River. The home itself was comfortable, clean and well appointed. We loved the big porch and back patio. When we arrived at the property I noticed several deer in the neighborhood laying around in the grass. Throughout our stay the deer could be seen in the lot across from the home and relaxing in the neighborhood lawns. It was fun to see them so comfortable and healthy. There were so many! We were very happy with the home and will be returning in the future.

Great location and spacious property. Furniture was run down and uncomfortable. Pillows were lumpy and sheets scratchy. It’s a super cute house though.

Family get-away!
Home was perfect for our group! We had our two grown children and their families which Included our 4 grand sons! There was plenty of space and beds for everyone! The boys loved the bunk beds. Porches were perfect to enjoy the evenings, there were deer that came into the yard every evening. The boys loved it! Kitchen was well stocked, dining room had large table and we shared family meals every night! It was a great family trip, perfect home for what we needed.

I would suggest replacing living room furniture. Hard and low to ground. Someone had broken lazy boy and taken off the lever leaving a hole. Need better toilet paper. Otherwise great property.

Funky house, a lot of fun
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was roomy enough for our large party of 13 people, and we had a great time. The couch bed upstairs is abysmal though... don't plan on using it. It's 150 years old so the house is a little quirky (some doors don't close all the way, etc) but if you go in understanding that it's wonderful.

Ton of space!!
We stayed here for our girls wedding weekend and it was more than accommodating! There were enough beds for all 12 of us to have our own bed! And i Think even some left over. Easily could’ve fit a handful more! The only issue is the parking. You can only park 3-4 cars in the driveway and 2 on the street so it’s makes a pretty difficult for 12+ people all driving separate to find parking. We made it work but it was definitely a headache. Other than that, the “private access” is a little difficult to find and you defiantly need to drive if you’re bringing all your coolers and tubes. Over all the house was extremely comfortable, well insulated (which can be an issue with older houses) and very clean! I would defiantly stay again!!
