Vintage House, Cottage & Bunk - Walk to Schlitterbahn /Comal River

This VRBO listing is for the rental of all 3 of these units.

Stadt Platz is located in the heart of the New Braunfels Historic District on a large lot purchased from the German Immigration Company in 1848. Stadt Haus is at the street side of the lot and Spiel Haus is in the back of the property along with the bunk.

Both Stadt Haus and Spiel Haus have recently been restored to original styles, but they also offer our guests modern conveniences and comfort. The house, cottage and bunk may sleeps a total of (18 people).

Stadt Haus (Circa 1890s) has two bedrooms, one large bathroom with antique bath tub, living room, and kitchen with dining area. The old growth pine floors and high ceilings provide a very warm atmosphere. There are stained glass transoms, beveled windows, and a huge circular stained glass window in the bathroom. Swing or rock on our front or back porchs. There are barbecue-pits and picnic tables for each house shaded by our huge pecan and crepemurtel trees.

Spiel Haus (cottage) is a unique cottage that was constructed in the 1980s from vintage materials taken from an original Falkwerk house in the area. There is a bedroom with a queen bed and a loft bedroom with a queen bed. Under the loft is the dining area with a complete kitchenette. The living area is separated from the kitchenette by the stairwell to the loft. This cozy area is furnished with a sofa sleeper and TV and wireless internet.

Bunk is next to Spiel Haus (cottage) and has the 2 beds, a queen and a full size bed. Bunk serves as the extra bedroom, has no kitchen or bathroom. Spiel Haus is about 10ft away to use the bathroom.

The grounds are privacy fenced and landscaped to offer our guests natural beauty and comfort. Outdoor shower with hot and cold water. Stadt Platz is a half block from the famous plaza and across the street from the original Market Platz of New Braunfels. You can walk two blocks to the Comal River & Tube Chute, 3 blocks to Schlitterbahn, or restaurants, bars, and shops in downtown New Braunfels. The Float In, Rockin R River Rides or Felger's Tube Rentals can pick you up at our front door and take you to Float the Comal River, you must contact a river outfitter to schedule a time and pricing.

Really Great Location
Great location, parking is convenient, and the property manager was extremely friendly and responsive. Very good stay overall with only minor inconveniences. The lower heating element in the oven was broken, so we just used the broil function for everything. Either the bed frames or box springs were broken on the beds, so they were all leaning one direction or another. Still, overall it was a great location and we had a great time.

Cute but too expensive for what was offered!
Great location! Group of 9 stayed, huge shout out for providing enough towels (I find these type of rental properties never have enough towels for larger groups)! Great check-in/out process. No outrageous cleaning requirements at the end. The outdoor area is great & being able to shut the gate to the property was nice, lots of parking! So things of note though: 1. The oven cooks slow. 2. There's no dishwasher. 3. The a/c is not adequate for the house. 4. The front bedroom in the main house on the right side of the living-room, is HOT. No airflow in the room at all. Needs window unit. 5. Cleanliness was average. 6. Most importantly, the BEDS were AWFUL!! Lumpy & hard as a rock! 7. The back house with only beds, really needs a bathroom. 8. The cost was really expensive for the what was rented.

Wonderful, unique, great location, perfect for larger groups
We stayed here for the 2024 solar eclipse – a family reunion with eight of us in total. It was ideal for us and we had a perfect time! The property has three separate units (buildings) of varying sizes and configurations, which gives you a lot of space and flexibility with sleeping arrangements. At the center of the property is a large patio/courtyard that serves as a good gathering spot, especially in warm weather. Before our trip we didn't know much about the town of New Braunfels, and we were pleasantly surprised to discover that the property is within a very short walking distance of the town center, making it extremely convenient. We enjoyed being able to easily walk to the farmer's market, bakery, coffee shop, beer hall, and so on. New Braunfels is a very charming, friendly town and we would love to come back. We also appreciated that they left some eclipse glasses for us to use – that was a nice touch. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Great location & charming property
The location of this property is perfect if you plan to float the river or visit Schlitterbahn!!! The back yard area was perfect for our girl, Irie - she loved exploring all parts of the yard. Parking was great and we loved that there were several areas to just sit and relax outside - the party lights strung from the trees were beautiful at night. The boys enjoyed the outdoor shower, and I loved the stained-glass window in the bathroom of the main house. The houses stayed cool, had beautiful architectural features, and comfortably fit all 11 of us. The houses were very clean & inviting. My only suggestion is that the bunk house & main house need a little TLC. The bunk house's door does not seal all the way and the tub/shower combo in the main house did leak a bit when draining - not a big deal, we just dried the floor when finished each day. Lotion, soap, trash bags, shampoo/conditioner, dishes, kitchen utensils were all provided. The fridges worked well and the microwave in the main house is brand new. We did not use the ovens/stoves, we did not want to cook on vacation. The cottage out back was pretty much perfect - furniture was very comfortable. Our host, Tom, allowed us to check in 30 minutes early which was so appreciated as we had a very long drive, and it was a hot, humid day. There is a bakery pretty much right behind the house and a coffee shop right around the corner - all within walking distance. We would definitely stay here again!

Good for big groups
We enjoyed our stay but the condition of some of the house wasn’t great. The bath tub in the main house wobbled and felt very unsafe to stand in. Overall we enjoyed our stay but for the price wish some things like the bath were fixed/maintained better.

We had a girl’s weekend in New Braunfels with 12 women and this was a great property for our stay! We were able to walk everywhere - restaurants, bars, shops, the river! Everything was so close and easy to get to. The owner and property manager were very easy to get in touch with and super helpful. I would highly recommend this place if you have a larger group!

Be sure to be careful, with small children, lots of nice breakables in the big house! The location could not have been better as far as shopping, eating, sightseeing, Scclitterbaun and floating the Comal! We cooked out a lot and loved the HEB grocery!
