We had an incredible stay over a long weekend. Though the weather and conditions were t the best for floating, Amy made sure we had all the information we needed for our safety and off river activities. Loved the house and area! Thank you.

Top notch stay

We have stayed at several vacation rentals in NB and were disappointed. Will Haus was top tier and we will definitely be looking to stay here again as we travel to the area often. Amy and Evan have thought of everything when it comes to this property. The kitchen is stocked with every thing you might need for cooking. Great open floor plan for visiting! Just a lovely place!!

A gem!

It was just what we needed, a clean, wonderful space to enjoy the area(Schlitterbahn and Gruene) from. The kitchen was easy to navigate, HeB nearby. And our kids enjoyed the selection of board games. We look forward to returning!

Girls Trip - River Float

Perfect house for our group of 8. Super clean. Large spaces to spread out. Convenient. Actually slept 10 without the ‘trick’ of sofa’ like some say. Great sturdy adult bunk beds. Didn’t squeak with people climbing up and down. And real mattresses thank you. Gladly called dibs on a bunk bed, no sharing lol. Only suggestion at all, few full length mirrors in bedrooms. Just needed little more mirror time with 8 women getting ready. Absolutely!!! Stay here again!!!!
