Walk to Schlitterbahn w/Firepit

Summary:
This unique combo property in downtown New Braunfels is an exceptional retreat that offers two main houses along with two charming bunkhouses, providing ample space for your group. Gather around the firepit and create lasting memories under the starry sky. Situated just across the street from Schlitterbahn, you'll have easy access to endless fun and entertainment. This home is also close to the Comal River, which is spring fed so it has a more constant water level through the dry summers.

The Space:
Welcome to our spacious and inviting combo property, where you'll find all the comforts of home and more. Let's explore the specific details of each space:

The living rooms are designed for relaxation and comfort, featuring spacious and plush couches that are perfect for sinking into and unwinding after a day of adventure. You'll also find armchairs, providing additional seating options for your group. Enjoy your favorite shows and movies on the flat screen TV. The living room flows seamlessly into the open concept kitchen, allowing for easy interaction between guests.

Both main houses offer fully equipped kitchens, boasting modern stainless steel appliances and all the necessary tools to prepare delicious meals.

The bedrooms in the main house offer a restful nights sleep for four in the luxurious beds and comfortable linens.
Our bunkhouses offer open concept living and sleeping spaces, providing ample room for larger groups or families. Each bunkhouse is equipped with a full bathroom, ensuring everyone has access to their own private space. One bunkhouse features two queen beds, while the other boasts a queen over queen bunk, making it perfect for accommodating various sleeping arrangements.

Step outside and immerse yourself in the beauty of our outdoor spaces. Unwind and relax in the hammock, swaying gently under the shade of the mature trees. Engage in some friendly competition with a game of cornhole, or gather around the firepit for roasting marshmallows and storytelling. The ample seating options under the trees offer a tranquil setting for enjoying the great outdoors.

In summary, Relic Haus offers a spacious living room, a fully equipped kitchen, and two inviting bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. The bunkhouses provide additional sleeping and living space, and the outdoor area is designed for relaxation and fun. Come and experience the perfect blend of vintage charm and modern comforts at Relic Haus, where cherished memories are waiting to be made.

Great indoor and outdoor space!!

Loved the outdoor space! We sat around through-our the day! Very relaxing and great location. Schlitterbahn across the street and close to stores and restaurants. Houses were beautifully decorated and fully equipped. We had 15 in our party and had ample space. The hosts were very responsive and checked in on us frequently. We plan on coming back!

Perfect For Large Family Groups

We were looking for a place to celebrate our mom’s 80th birthday. We were a group of 14 and this property was perfect. Conveniently located to all of the things we wanted to do—we have been coming to New Braunfels since the early 70s— this property has it all. It’s across the street from The Schlitterbahn and minutes from the tube outfitters, downtown businesses and all the other places we remember nostalgically. The main houses each have lovely kitchen and living rooms, big enough for everyone to gather. The homes are well appointed and feel like they fit the period in which they were built. The bathrooms are very modern and the bedrooms are comfortable. We put all the teens in the bunkhouses so everyone was able to spread out. It didn’t feel crowded at all. The management is very responsive to requests and communication was prompt. I would definitely stay here again and will recommend it to friends.
