Deer Haus Retreat I Minutes to Gruene, Sleeps 6

Welcome to the New Braunfels Deer Haus Retreat, your gateway to a splendid Hill Country escape! Nestled in the heart of Texas, this charming vacation rental is a stone's throw away from Gruene, Canyon Lake, and New Braunfels, ensuring that you're perfectly positioned to explore all the treasures of this picturesque region. With two tastefully appointed bedrooms, two sparkling bathrooms, and enough space to comfortably accommodate up to six guests, Deer Haus is your home away from home, offering an enchanting blend of character and luxury. Please note the owners live on site in the main house and Deer Haus is the guest house.

As you approach the guest cottage, you'll be greeted by your own private parking space and a charming walkway leading to the darling front porch. Step inside the living room, a haven of style and comfort. The rich combination of leather and clean neutrals creates an inviting atmosphere. Sink into the plush furnishings, and let the large screen television be your portal to entertainment. During chilly evenings, the fireplace casts a warm and cozy glow, setting the stage for relaxation.
Choose from two beautifully appointed bedrooms. The master bedroom boasts a king-sized bed adorned with lovely linens, an attached bath featuring a spacious walk-in shower, and a private door that opens to the back porch, where you can savor the hill country views. The second bedroom houses a comfortable queen bed, offering serene views and an adjoining bathroom with a shower/tub combo. These bedrooms are sanctuaries of rest and tranquility, ensuring you wake up refreshed each day of your stay.

Meal preparation is a breeze in the fully stocked kitchen, where you can enjoy the view of the hill country as well as the occasional visit from friendly neighborhood deer. Whether you're whipping up a full-course feast or packing sack lunches for your river adventure, you'll find everything you need at your fingertips.

The outdoor space at Deer Haus beckons you to spend fun-filled evenings with friends and family. The covered patio is your go-to spot for cooking up delicious bites on the propane grill, dining al fresco at the spacious table, or simply enjoying the warm Texan breeze.

The property's name, Deer Haus, pays homage to the area's German heritage. Centrally located in the New Braunfels area, this retreat offers easy access to the Hill Country's myriad of delights.

Venture to Canyon Lake and rent a boat or jet skis for a thrilling day on the water. Check out the music calendar at Whitewater Amphitheater and groove to the beats of a live concert. Explore the charming towns of New Braunfels and Gruene, where you can savor delectable cuisine and enjoy live music performances. A day of tubing, kayaking, and rafting on the Guadalupe River is always a blast, especially for families and children who can also have a blast at Schlitterbahn Water Park and Landa Park.

Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast or a dedicated shopper, nearby San Marcos has something for everyone. Glide down the spring-fed San Marcos River on a tube or paddleboard, or hop on a glass-bottom boat tour at the Meadows Center for a unique perspective of this beautiful river. Shopaholics will revel in the opportunity to explore over 240 shops at the outlet mall, while nature lovers can hike the scenic trails at Purgatory Creek Natural Area.

Wimberley offers a delightful day of shopping, dining at local restaurants, and sampling the wares at wineries and breweries. For those who crave outdoor adventure, Jacobs Well and Blue Hole Regional Park provide opportunities for swimming, kayaking, and hiking. Blanco, with its fishing, swimming, and hiking options at Blanco State Park, appeals to both outdoor enthusiasts and history buffs, who can explore over 140 covered wagons at The Buggy Barn or savor a taproom tasting experience at Real Ale Brewing Company.

Respite Casita

We enjoyed our short restful weekend. It was just what we hoped for. The casita is very nice, well organized, and comfortable. The beds were high, but once we were in them (that was a laughing matter), they were wonderful! My granddaughter thoroughly enjoyed playing outdoors and watching the deer. The only two mentions I'd like to note are: 1) the air fryer was not clean upon our arrival and 2) the gas grill didnt work well enough to cook our steaks. However, for us, those two things were not significant enough to have any negative impact on our stay. We loved it and would like to stay again if we're in the area. Thank you.they ,theywonderful!Tbeds were

Great Location!

We were in town for a friend's 60th birthday! This was close to their house and was PERFECT for us! The view off the back porch was wonderful for morning coffee! A quaint little guest house. We were a little confused when we pulled in the drive, but once we figured out this was the little guest house just off to the right and set back from the main house, we were set! We were in my F350 long bed which was a little challenging through the curvy drive with trees but we made it. Definitley recommend!

Nice neighborhood and spacious casita

The property was very well kept. Spacious rooms and a nice master bath shower. The kitchen is well stock but I will say the coffee pot was not cleaned. They only have filters, so bring coffee sweetener and creamer. Also the knives in the block were dirty and the air fryer basket wasn’t clean. Bits of food and grease in the bottom. Other than that the place was clean and suited our needs.

Beautiful view, comfortable home

My sisters and I stayed here for a “sister trip” and thought the casita was perfect for us. Very cute and comfortable, and we loved sitting on the back patio and catching up.

Perfect

If you are in town to catch a concert at the Whitewater Amphitheatre this is perfect. Close to Gruene and amenities but secluded in a neighborhood. Beds are very comfortable and has great hot water.

So quiet, relaxing and beautiful!

This house is in a most beautiful setting and so quiet! It had all the items we needed to be comfortable and there was not a thing we could say was wrong! The deer were so nice to watch in the morning, and the bed was the absolute BEST. (Tried to get with property mgr. Sunday morning as we could not find an outside receptacle for garbage, but they have never responded and we had to take the garbage with us.)
