Country life just minutes from New Braunfels, San Marcos or Seguin.

The Bunkhouse is one of 4 vacation rentals on a 60 acre property of rolling hills on the edge of the Texas Hill Country. The house sits on top of one of the highest hills in the area so from there you have fantastic views of the countryside. Just outside the yard fence cows are grazing. Come sit on the porch swing and enjoy the fresh air and ever-present breezes. Surrounding the house are ancient live oaks which have lived there since before the German immigrants who settled the area arrived in the mid 1800's. And even though you are in the quiet of the country it is only a few minutes to the towns of New Braunfels, Seguin or San Marcos. All three offer visitors a variety of attractions plus many restaurants, shops and recreational opportunities. And in just about 30 to 45 minutes you can drive to San Antonio or Austin and enjoy all that those cities have to offer.
The house has 2 bedrooms each with a queen bed plus there is a queen size sofa sleeper in the living room. The kitchen and living/dining areas provide a nice open space to gather. There is a separate utility room with washer and dryer. On the wrap-around porch are picnic tables, chairs and a porch swing. A charcoal grill is provided. A small fenced yard is a good place for your pets or children to play. But you can also enjoy the ample space outside the yard fence!

Relaxing Weekend

It was a very relaxing weekend in a house a top a hill. Very nice scenery. Our four labs enjoyed running through pastures and getting to stretch their legs. Lots of things to do in any direction.

My family and I were so impressed with the location and the property the home sits on. So peaceful and a great place to take pictures if you’re a lover of nature photography. The home was so spacious and you just felt at home and relaxed. The cows were also a pleasant sight to see and made very little noise. If you are looking for peace, calm and country tranquility; this is the perfect place! We will definitely be back! Also, the pictures they have for this place just doesn’t do justice, this place has so much to offer when it comes to beauty and peace.

Serene

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Bunkhouse. Everything was clean and in good condition. The location is wonderful, quiet and serene. Nice porches to sit and watch the humming birds flitting around in the magnificent areas of wildflowers. Fun to watch the cats and kittens who live in the structure next door. Our dog enjoyed the smells in the little fenced in garden area. Joy was very responsive when we had questions. New Braunfels is just 20 minutes away.

Wild flowers and black cow calves.

Watching the 3 calves run through the flowers and play with each other while the very big momma cow watched was so much fun. Sitting on the front porch in the evening gave us a spectacular view of the sunset. Looking out the living room window in the morning to see miles of the beautiful Texas country side made this bunkhouse very special. Frankly our stay made us long to leave Oahu, and find some space to breath. Thank you.

Really awesome

Only complaint was the fridge but seeing as though there were no other complaints my assumption is it was just bad timing. It went out when I stayed there. I would definitely stay here again.

A quick getaway trip to the area. Wanted to stay away from the crowds.

Great place, as advertised. Had 2 dogs, the yard was perfect to let them roam. Relaxing in the backyard in the evening was nice. Close to many nice small towns to spend the days.

Quiet Country Setting

This is a good place for people with dogs. Two things to know about these cabins...1) the 4 cabins are set up in two sites. So you will have very close neighbors. 2) The linens/towels are clean but old. That said, we would stay here again.

Total Quiet and Great Place for the Dogs too!

Trying to find a place that will allow dogs over 50 lbs isn't easy, so I was happy when I found this listing. And the fact that extra fees didn't almost double the per-night pricing was definitely a huge plus (so many listings do). When we arrived, we were greeted at the gate in front of the house by a small welcoming committee of Black Angus. They were more curious to meet the dogs than the dogs were to see them (they're used to cows). The house comes with everything you need to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable (including TV and puzzles, coffee and coffeemaker). I loved that the side and back yard was fenced so I didn't have to keep the girls on leashes the whole time. The rooms were a good size. There's a washer and dryer (complete with laundry products). It was lovely to sit out on the porch on the swing and sip wine in the evenings and enjoy the peace and quiet (except for an occasional moo) while the girls explored. When we're back in the area, we'll definitely be booking this place again.

Very comfortable

I have never seen such a wide variety of pillows at a rental or hotel before, even had memory form pillows. The beds were very comfortable too. The cows were pretty cool to hear and watch. It is far enough out to be able to see stars well. Host was also very accommodating.

It's the small things that matter

It would have been nice to have plush bath towels and comfortable pillows. Both are years old and need to be replaced. Decided to make a quick trip to buy my own bath towels. Left towels behind for next renters to enjoy. A new couch would also be nice; current one needs to be retired. Enjoyed watching the cows from the kitchen window. Owner responds right away to text and phone calls - nice perk!

Nice country place

We had a nice stay in this country house. Plenty of space and we had everything we needed. Our dogs loved the yard, and it's close to a lot of great areas. Very cool to see the cows roaming nearby! Would be much improved if all the rugs were removed, or replaced with smaller washable ones. The brown rug in the living room smelled of pets and the underside looked well used by visiting pets. Linens and towels were clean, but looked old and tired. The non-stick frying pan was in bad shape and should be replaced. Would love to stay again if these few updates were made.
