About this property

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

  • The Bunkhouse is one of 4 holiday 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 washing machine 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!

Fantastic hosts - Joy and Sherman are two of the nicest and most accommodating on the planet. I loved everything about this place and so especially did my two Dalmatians, who were enchanted by the cows.If you are looking for a beautiful setting in a rural area that is quiet and serene, and love the idea of waking up to a beautiful sunrise, sitting outside on the porch with your coffee and watching your dogs play in the yard, this place is the one to pick in the San Antonio area!Thank you Joy and Sherman!

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.

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 wife and I are country folks so this was right up our alley. We enjoyed the quiet, rustic style bunkhouse. Our dogs had lots of room to run. The tv is small but we don't really watch TV. The location is great. The only issue was that the mattress made for a bit of a stiff back in the morning. We'll most likely be return customers.

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.

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.

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.

Quaint house in serene setting. Saw several scorpions, which is not unexpected in the country. We had to contact the property manager to get the access code because we didn’t receive an email and this was complicated by an incorrect phone number in “contact owner”. VRBO chat assistant helped us get the right phone number. Had to do some minor housekeeping when we arrived but nothing major. Joy (owner) was very responsive once we made contact and went out of her way to make sure we enjoyed our stay. Would definitely stay here again.

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.
