Hill Country Cottage Rentals & RV Resort

We stayed overnight to catch Wurstfest… the actual cottage we stayed in was cute and just the right size for my boyfriend and I… and I liked the option of having a «pet-​friendly» cottage!
********My biggest complaint was the lady who worked the front desk on Saturday 11÷14÷15 at about 2:15pm. When we first walked in, we weren’t even greeted with a «Hello»… she seemed rude and unwelcoming right from the beginning! We wanted to check into our cottage and she replied, «CHECK-​IN IS AT 4!!»…and just stared at us in awkward silence… didn’t even suggest for us to shop around the store or walk around or sit at the tables in the pool area to kill time… nothing…Call me crazy, but that’s what I would have offered if I worked there!!! (and we just drove 4.5 hours to get to New Braunfels)
***There was also a guy working… he kinda looked scared of the lady working with him… weird!!!
SPECIAL NOTE TO MANAGEMENT******I was really considering inviting my girlfriends from Chicago, North Carolina, and maybe even some of my cousins from California to visit and stay at the cottage to go tubing next spring/​summer… but, that first impression was a total turn off!*******on a positive note, the 2 ladies that worked that Saturday night when we returned to checked-​in were pretty nice! ***Is «nice» too much to ask for these days? Is being «nice» too difficult to offer at a hotel/​cottage rental… anyways, I must end my rant here…

Poor service is my complaint. We traveled out of town for work, and I called this place twice only to be given a run around. I was told there were available 2 bedroom 2 bathroom cottages. I setup an appointment to come look at them (to see if they were nice and not roach infested) and they are very nice inside. As I wait at the front desk to rent out one for the next 3 months, I am told they are booked for the next 3 weeks. Why couldn’t «Kayla» have told me that over the phone (I had to call back because no one ever called me back) before I WASTED a trip. Get it together at the front desk.

Disappointed management would not accept my 2 small boys, in the place of my husband, because «cabin» was for 2 persons. I bought as a Groupon getaway and it wasn’t a deal, $ 201 for 2 nights. My fault, yes. Flabbergasted, its an rv resort.

Cottage was nice and cozy and overall the resort was nice. Hot water ran out quickly, so get your shower first.
Kids said none of the games worked in the game room and they were «old».
Overall we had a great vacation and we’re just minutes from the Comal River. We would stay there again.

Very nice spot off the 35 that I would have never known was there is not invited by my uncle. Need to find a cottage next weekend.

Absolutely loved our 3 night stay in the Pecos Cottage. Reserved on hotels tonight and got the best deal, $ 266 for 3 nights! The Pecos cottage is an efficiency and is meant for two but if you are willing to sleep on the floor, cot or an air mat you can squeeze in another person. The room is very modern, yet adorable. It is small but had everything we needed.
Front porch is right near your parking spot so you can back up and unload very easily. The bed was a queen and comfortable. Only 3 pillows on the bed, but we’d brought our own, along with a blanket. (they had two blankets). The tv is flat screen mounted high with remote and cable. The ac is a window unit and we kept it at 70 and were very chilly. No worries about being too hot, which I was scared of when I realized they didn’t have central air.
They have bowls, silverware, toilet tissue, paper towels, hair dryer, full size coffee maker, Microwave and mini fridge. The bathroom is small but very efficient. Shower had nice pressure and hot water. The only suggestion is have for the resort in this cottage is to check the Bathroom door. It slides to shut and is near impossible to move. I just left it open. Fiancé was able to close it with me effort.
Thank you Hill country for an awesome stay. We don’t have kids yet, but when we do we’ll be back yearly to utilize the amenities. They looked like so much fun. Loved hearing a live band by the pool late on Friday night. Love that the amenities are open late. Yet everyone was very respectful and quiet.
Don’t hesitate to stay here. It’s so relaxing and the views of the hill country are gorgeous

The RV Resort was clean, and we loved that it was only a few minutes to Schlitterban, tubbing, etc. The kids enjoyed the indoor pool and the trampoline. Our friend stayed in a cabin. Very clean and new, still smelled like cedar. This is an RV resort, not a campground so there were no fire rings or BBQ pits, but since we keep a BBQ pit with our camper this was not a problem. The only issue I had was the wait to check in. One other guest there and I counted at least 5 employees in the office, and no one asked if I needed any assistance for about 5 minutes. Other than that we will definitely be back.

This was my second stay here and both experiences were similar. The cabin and staff are great. The Internet is horrible. Management needs to realize that in this day and time, people need a reliable internet connection to research places to eat or visit. We use it for everything that requires planning. This was probably our last time here due to this problem.

I came here with my ex last Memorial Day weekend. He had a camper, so we didn’t use a cabin, but the cabins looked great from the outside. This place is very well-​kept and their restroom/​shower facility is clean and in great condition. You can tell that they put some money into this place. If you’re coming to NB to float the river and you don’t want to deal with the chaos and debauchery at the camp-​sites along the river, I’d recommend the Hill Country Resort. I’ve camped right next to the river 4 times and it’s not what it’s cracked up to be. I’d rather stay at a place like this and take a short drive to the river. At least I can get some sleep at night and the bathrooms don’t look like something from a 3^rd world country.

On a list minute whim to get out of town for spring break, I found a Groupon deal for this place. With that deal we paid about $ 600 for 3 nights tt&l. We were in the Frio cabin. There were 5 of us, 2 adults and 3 kids. The cottage had 2 bedrooms, 2 bathooms, a full kitchen including dishwasher, and pull out sofas in the living room. A grill is right outside for your use. BYO chaRcoal. They provide all linens which I was pleasantly surprised that they smelled and looked clean. The floors were clean upon apperance but once you walk around without shoes or just socks, it becomes apparent that it’s not that clean. They provide some nice toiletries in the bathrooms, dish tabs for the dishwasher, TP, paper towels, and a full kitchen of pretty much everything you’d need (except for a vegetable peeler in our cottage).
The kids enjoyed the game room and jumping pillow quite a bit. If it had been warmer they would have also enjoyed the pools. The cottage also has cable and a DVD player so we rented movies in the evenings.
This would be great if you wanted to stay in a homey place and were pretty much gone during the day. What I didn’t realize is just how close it is to the interstate. When I think of a cottage in New Braunfels I was thinking clear skies, lots of stars, peace and quiet and clean air. We were truly in the city. I did know this going in once I booked the reservation but would have probably backed out if I had done my due diligence before booking.
The property is also huge! More cottages going up just down the little lane we were on. The RV area is huge. I didn’t really feel all that safe letting my kids run around the property so we operated strictly on the buddy system.
The staff was friendly.
We also took our small dog. If you plan on taking a pet, please call them and let them know as some cottages aren’t pet friendly. And be sure to read the pet policy before you go. We knew ahead of time that we’d have to take our dog wherever we went because we didn’t have a kennel to take for him to stay in the cottage. If they find an unatttended, unkenneled pet you automatically pay $ 250. Luckily, the weather was gorgeous and cool so if we needed to run into a restaurant to eat he was fine in the car for a short bit.
Overall, the cottage was nice for a family and especially if you plan on cooking some meals. Location was not great at all if you want to get away from the city.

As an RV’er we stay in lots of parks around the country. Since our last visit 3 years ago the place has tripled in size. Our site was a pull thru and about 2 inches off side to side. Cable at site was good but Internet was slow. Noise was very loud during the night but daytime was fine. Park has both indoor and outdoor pools game room and Conf center. This is spring break time so park and cottages are full.

We booked 2 nights here for a quick getaway to explore the area.
We had a Living Social deal and had no issues redeeming it. The cottage was
very nice and well appointed. It had all the essentials we could need. We didn’t use the kitchen but it was nice to have a full-​size fridge.
It rained most of the time so the indoor pool and hot tub was great. We had it to ourselves for quite a while on Saturday afternoon which was nice. They have a lot here for the kids to do!
The kids liked the loftin the cottage although it would not work well for adults due to the height of the ceiling.
We would definitely return, it was a pleasant stay. Only issue was slow internet… we were only there 2 nights so it wasn’t a huge issue for us.

We were waiting for our new home to be built so we tried to stay here for a few weeks. There are some fun things to do… if it was the 1970’s again. Very old. Most everything is run down and the surrounding area is a bit scary. Make sure to lock your doors and keep everything with you. The cottages are nice and our kids loved the loft area. Staff was helpful but it seemed the management was constantly saying no to requests that would have made our stay better. They were not friendly and made sure you knew who was boss!

The cottages were a hit with the family. When we decided to visit the area we wanted a place where our two boys could be boys without worrying about people in a room above/​below/​beside us. The cottages here were a perfect fit for us! A lot for the kids to do with the indoor pool, games and jumping pillow outside (used to be extra fee, now free). There is no daily room service, but the trash is picked up daily and towels are only a few steps away at the office.
My only minor complaint was the WiFi. It’s dirt slow. On top of that, you have to sign up for a free Tengo account to access it. In the end, I just ended up using my portable cellular hot spot instead. Thank god for great cell coverage in the area!
Also be aware that you’re only a block from I-​35. So the highway noise is definitely evident (especially in the morning/​eve during rush hour). It wasn’t an issue for us as we didn’t book this place for it’s serenity but merely a place to sleep/​eat between event-​filled days!
I would definitely recommend the cottages at Hill Country for those looking for an extended-​stay hotel alternative!

My wife and I booked this place for a week for a house-​hunting trip. We liked the idea of a place we could cook, with internet & TV, and have access to a pool/​hot tub. The price was similar to that of a hotel, so it was attractive.
When we first got there, it was nice. Basically the cabins are half-​trailers, and they have all the amenities– dishwasher, fridge, stove, basic cookware in the cabin, A/​C in wall, TV with satellite (no DVR). We were away from our girls, who were staying with the grandparents, and we wanted to skype with them before they went to bed. We got to do it for one night, then the wireless in the resort died. For EVERYONE. The staff was nice, but they kept blaming Tengo Internet for the disruption, but the issue didn’t get fixed. Needless to say that was a huge inconvenience as we could not video chat with our girls, or find houses online, or do any meaningful research from our cabin.
In addition, there is no housekeeping. They don’t even check your towels. You have to go to the main office and get things like fresh towels, soap, shampoo, TOILET PAPER, etc.
Oh, and if you have kids, and you want them to do the fun things, like use the game room, it costs EXTRA. Really? I’m already paying a premium for this place, and I have to pay a daily fee to let the kids play in the game room?
The final insult was when we had to check out a day early. I said I’d like a refund for the lack of internet, and for the day we weren’t using. They said no refunds under any circumstances, even if they were not providing promised amenities!
If you don’t need internet, you have no kids, you want a quiet place and don’t mind getting your own towels/​toiletries from the resort, then this place is fine. But ultimately, if I had to do it over again, I would have booked a travelers hotel. At least they would have refunded money for failing to provide advertised services.
