Such a cute, quaint place to stay. We were very close to Gruene Hall & surely enjoyed the wine tasting. Staff was friendly & very helpful. Our beds were so comfortable we stayed in a little longer than we usually do. We will definitely tell our friends about this lovely place.

Loved our stay at Petit Cowboy. The room was awesome, super clean, really cute, and you can tell a lot of thought went into the design. The whole property has a great vibe. The pool is huge and having a shallow area for the kids made it even better. Being right along the river just makes it feel kind of magical. We’ll definitely be back.

Stayed here with a few friends and had an awesome time! There’s so much to do on the property between the two pools, pickleball court, and easy access to the river, we basically didn't leave for 2 days. It’s also super close to New Braunfels, which was convenient. The room renovations were really well done and thoughtful, and overall it felt like great value for what you get. Will definitely come back with a group.

Booked last minute while driving through New Braunfels and absolutely loved my stay at Petit Cowboy! The property was recently renovated and sits right along the river, really cute setup. My cabin was clean, spacious, and really well-designed. The staff was super friendly, and the self check-in made everything easy. They’ve also got two large pools and a pickleball court, which was a great bonus. Definitely planning to come back :)

Our Anniversary trip was perfect thanks to the friendly staff!! Everyone from checking in, to the twin brothers serving drinks by the pool, bartender, cleaning staff. Even the man cleaning the pool that took time to show the kids a frog that he got out from the filter. Dustin (manager) took time out to explain the history of the “Petite Cowboy” and made sure we had everything we needed. 5 out of 5 - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We stayed at Petit Cowboy this past weekend and had a great experience. The rooms had a fun retro-chic vibe with thoughtful design details that made the space feel unique and inviting. Everything was spotless when we arrived, and the little touches, from the fresh towels and toiletries to the appliances and pre-filled ice tray, made us feel right at home. The pool and bar area were beautiful and relaxing, making it easy to unwind. The check-in area also has a fun, cozy atmosphere with a pool table and photo booth, which was a nice touch. We especially enjoyed the outdoor patio overlooking the river. Check-in and check-out were both smooth and hassle-free. We arrived before check-in time, and the staff was kind enough to let us park on the property while we took an Uber to float the river. That extra hospitality was greatly appreciated. Overall, Petit Cowboy exceeded our expectations, and we’ll definitely be back.

We booked Petit Cowboy for a long weekend and it was absolutely perfect! The A-frame lodging was super cute, the bedding was insanely comfortable, and the location was 10/10! Super close to Schlitterbahn, quiet and woodsy. We brought our pups with us for our stay and they loved every minute. Great space for running and playing, easy access to the Comal River right on property for swimming, they enjoyed their stay just as much as we did! We absolutely will be back.
