My Anniversary
I did not have to contact the property manager. Everything was just fine. Except for the problem with the river. My husband missed his favorite hobbie. My baby fur was happy walking in the yard. I was very unstress, resting and enjoying the nature, birds and silence. Too many steps for elderlies. Please consider ramps for humans and pets. Love this house and sure we will return soon.

Not as advertised
No AC and no real solution offered. If you enjoy sleeping in 90-degree heat and spending your days in a sauna, then you will love it here. Not a waterside property. There is no creek. It's a dry creekbed, and the listing needs to be updated to reflect that. Not cleaned well - found blood pressure medicine and old food on the floor - dangerous for pets and children. There were also dead bugs and dust on the floor. The water tastes like dirt. I would recommend bringing bottled water to drink, make coffee, and brush your teeth. the property manger is responsive and nice. I did get a partial reimbursement, but I did not feel it was commensurate with what we endured. This is pretty, and with more attention to detail and an updated listing, the issues could be corrected for future renters.

Wonderful spot!
This was a perfect place for our long weekend! They had everything we needed, the place was clean, nicely decorated and in a great location. The large deck was perfect for sitting with our dog and relaxing. We loved all of the little touches they had for dogs! Our dog loved the dog beds! We will definitely be booking again next time we stay in the New Braunfels area!

Great Creekside Getaway
We spent a fantastic long weekend here and enjoyed every minute of it. Normally on little trips like this, we'll pop into town for a bit, but between the fishing and the relaxing setting, we felt absolutely no desire to leave (I nearly pulled the biggest catfish of my life out of the creek!) There's plenty of room to spread out, and the kitchen has all the cooking supplies you'll need. The outdoor area is extremely dog-friendly, very capable of keeping them enclosed, but with enough room to run around. The covered deck overlooking the creek was a wonderful setting to hang out, sip some brews, and watch the birds. And yes, the grill works very well. The owners have clearly put a lot of love into this place, and it shows. Five stars all the way.

A gem built with love.
I’m writing this with mixed feelings. You can see with how much love the owners have built this place. It’s very unique. Walking in I nearly just walked right out. The property management is good with checking in but they don’t get the little finishing touches. Having had vacation property of my own I know. The throw blankets were not even folded neatly the futon cover was still wrinkled - it gave a feeling that it was just like the last guests left it. The ornaments on the beautiful private deck has not seen a duster, the bbq was so dirty we opted cooking in the oven. As the sheets where a dark moroon I openend it up to see if it was clean. I hope the owners read this. It’s truly a beautiful, peaceful property. Maybe train the property management how you want it cleaned. Crisp clean white sheets and towels goes a long way. If you going to have throw blankets make sure they are washed and neatly folded before the next guest comes. Upon leaving I stripped the bedding and loaded the machine, as well as the dishwasher, I did not put them on incase of malfunctioning. We put all the garbage out as well. As we left I only got the instructions what cleaning we had to do upon leaving and I just thought - what on earth is the cleaning fee for if I’m doing half the work. All in all would I stay here again. Yes I would.

Peaceful Place
We loved the cabin and the huge beautiful windows to look out of all day. The decks are nice too with gates to enclose pups or kids. The kitchen is well stocked and the drive into town is easy. The only drawback for us was the extra firm bed on a high platform. Not the best if you’re a side sleeper but we enjoyed our stay and so did our pup Penny.

Compared to other experiences this one rated below expectations
The property was as advertised. Very clean, quaint and private! We had an issue with the internet and the property managers weren't able to respond quickly so we figured out the issue and resolved on our own. The property said there was a canoe and kayaks for use however when we got there we realized the canoe would need to be carried down several sets of steps and therefore carried back up and it's not a light canoe! We are not spring chickens so we opted against that. This was disappointing since we rented this particular place since it was on the water with access to these activities. One of the bathroom sinks was also clogged so we only used one sink. The bed was excessively firm, which is ok if you like that. I will probably not be revisiting this particular rental.

A lovely rustic house on a peaceful creek.
We enjoyed our stay here a lot, including the fenced in yard that let our dog roam free. Everything that we needed was provided. The only downside for us was that the house was extremely dark inside, and that the immediate neighborhood was iffy. Many houses are well-maintained but some much less so, for example with 18 wheelers parked on the lawn or mattresses on the driveway.

Relaxing place to get away
Upon arrival we were a bit surprised by the location. I knew it was at the end of a street in a neighborhood, but across the creek there are modular homes that you are looking at the backside of them. It might have been more bothersome bc someone was blasting music and painting the back of his house when we got there. Once that was over, the relaxing began. So many wonderful nooks to settle into depending on the sun and time of day. Very comfortable, clean and had everything we needed in the kitchen. We took the canoe out with our dog and had a wonderful time. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Beautiful secluded home
Spring break for family of 3 and dog. The property is beautiful! Fenced yard to keep the dog in was very nice. The bed was super firm (perfect for me). The house has everything you could possibly need- kayaks, canoe, fishing poles, corn hole boards, cards and games and so much more. The water was not really flowing but too cold to get in anyway. The gas grill worked fine, however, you can tell it was knocked over previously and flames came out from under the dented hood. We enjoyed the stay!

The cabin was perfect for a short getaway to celebrate our anniversary. The porches and outdoor accommodations were great, just wish the weather had been better. We were a little apprehensive about it being "pet friendly" but the place was spotless and odorless. Hope to come back again - and cross our fingers the weather will cooperate.

Cozy cabin on the water
We really enjoyed our stay here! We are a family of four with two dogs. Kids 6 and 8. Big dog and little dog. The fence was completely secure and didn’t have to worry about our little dog escaping the fence. The yard and patio were huge!! The master bedroom was huge with plenty of room to add a king size bed (that would have been an added bonus). Like previous reviews, the inside was very dimly lit. We were in town for a wedding. Thankfully the weather was great so I did my hair and makeup outside on the porch. Wish we would have had time to explore the creek on the provided kayaks but our time ran out. Our “Welcome” message from Vacasa was the most UNWELCOMING message ever. It really but a bad taste in our mouth before we even got there. Thankfully everything was great once we arrived! Vacasa, please consider rewording your “welcome” message! Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Paradise and Vacation Heaven!
This home away from home definitely exceeded our expectations! It is often really hard to find a vacation home that allows pets AND is perfect in every way… but the Creekside Casita fits that description hands down! To begin with, the owners have thought of everything when you bring your pet! It was so nice not having to travel with bowls, beds, stairs, etc! Our little Yorkie is old, blind and suffers periodic bouts of dementia and usually gets really nervous going anywhere new.. but she was just as comfortable as we were! Also, there is so much about the house and the property that I don’t know where to start! The owners thought of everything! It is decorated perfectly, allowing for the best relaxing ambience I have ever experienced! The kitchen is also stocked with anything and everything you would ever need! The furniture and bed are soooo comfortable! And all of the decks! Oh my! I just wish it would have been warm enough and not raining.. so that we could have enjoyed them! I absolutely love the screen room too! In fact, the house is so amazingly comfortable and relaxing that we changed our plans on Sunday and stayed in! The whole house literally rejuvenated our souls! The ONLY thing that would make this even better would be to take out that big ol’ bathtub and put in a huge walk in shower! It’s a little harder for older people to have to climb into a tub/shower combination… but.. it won’t keep us from coming back… we will just have to bring my husband’s cane for balancing… We are actually planning on coming back again in the summer so that we can enjoy the boat and kayaks and make our way into the Guadalupe and do a little exploring and fishing! (And napping on the decks and sunroom)! Hoping to make this home a yearly vacation destination…(even after our fur baby goes over the rainbow bridge!). Also… don’t worry yourself about the drive through the neighborhood.. yes it is run down in numerous areas.. but that is no reflection of what you will find at the end of the road! Vacation Heaven awaits you through the gate! You won’t be disappointed! But.. this is REALLY a house for two adults… if you have two small children.. that would likely work as well.. but don’t think you can have more than two adults.. it just won’t work… but it’s fantastic for one or two! So book it!!! You will fall in love!

The property is incredible! Extremely dog friendly and well thought out so that your pup is safe at all times. There is a huge amount of outdoor deck space, both covered and uncovered. The house is at the end of the road and the property and creek banks are heavily treed to offer ample privacy. And there is an excellent screened porch right off the bedroom. I will recommend this property and stay here again when I'm in the area.

A perfect place to spend the Christmas weekend with our pups. So much thought and care was put into making this a peaceful, comfortable place to unwind. Truly pet-friendly with a gated deck that we spent hours and hours on. We enjoyed seeing deer and herons along the creek and hearing the birds.
