About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Peaceful setting 10 minutes to New Braunfels, San Marcos or Seguin
Opa's Haus is a 4 bedroom, 2 bath home. Three bedrooms downstairs each have a queen bed. Upstairs is one large bedroom with 4 twin beds. So the house can easily sleep 10 people. The house was originally built in 1860 by German immigrants who used 'fachwerk' (half timber) construction with which they were familiar in Germany. Some of these original walls have been exposed to show the structural beams held together with hand-whittled pegs instead of nails. Between the beams you can also see the handmade bricks. Even though built before Abraham Lincoln was President, the house now has all the modern conveniences of central heat and air conditioning and kitchen appliances. In the living room is a large TV with satellite service. There is also a large outdoor charcoal grill. The spacious front porch is the perfect place to relax after a day of activities - a good place to reconnect with family and friends. If your group is larger than 10 we also have 3 other houses on the property which could accommodate a family reunion. The location is the perfect combination of peaceful country living and access to attractions in New Braunfels, Seguin or San Marcos. All 3 towns are just 10 minutes from Opa's Haus.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. Satellite television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
This smoke-free vacation home features cave exploring nearby, hiking/biking trails nearby, and kayaking nearby. Recreational activities include sailing nearby, water skiing nearby, and rafting nearby.

Baby Shower - Fun weekend!
We hosted my sister-in-laws baby shower at Opa’s house and had a pretty great experience. We had some AC problems on the first night but Joy was able to send someone out to fix it right away and provided a partial refund for the troubles! There were also some creepy crawlies (as to be expected out in the country) but overall had a great time. Would definitely book this lovely cabin again for future family events!

House was much bigger than expected, love the old charm. Daily Scorpions in the house were a bit shocking for my washington child. Beds were comfortable. I did have to make an emergency run to get TP as there was only one back up roll left. it really was a fun stay.botbathrooms

Nice, quiet stay
Overall, it was a great stay in the country. Be ready for scorpions and other little critters. There is an additional charge per day after 2 guests that we didn't realize at booking. Fun, little place to stay with lots of history.

Quiet getaway close to fun
We enjoyed our stay at Opa’s house. I used to live in Kingsbury and I know there is a lot of bugs and wildlife but I was shocked by the number of scorpions in the house. There is not much that can be done about that but be on the look out. After the first night they started leaving us alone and really enjoyed the rest of our trip. The house is close to lots of fun activities but far enough out in the country to enjoy the quiet.

Great little place out of the city. We came for the weekend to float the river. It was close to 3 different rivers with plenty of options near by to rent tubes. Qlso close enough to town to run and get food as needed.

Escape the hustle and bustle
This house is perfect for a large family. It is the perfect distance from town that you can get what you need when you need it, but have the privacy that you want. We were in town for a Texas State graduation ceremony which was only about a 20 minute drive.
The house was built in the 1800’s, so it has a ton of character. It has been updated so it doesn’t feel like an old house. It is located on what appears to be a ranch. We absolutely loved it out here. We had the pleasure of having deer in the yard one morning which we all stood at the windows and watched them for a few minutes.
Perfect location. Quiet and comfortable.
