A High-Quality Bed And Breakfast In New Braunfels, Texas.
Quiet, gracious, close to downtown, resort areas and

The house is about 120 to 140 years old and contains in the interior some of the old wattle and dob walls. The land under the house is identified as once belonging to John Meusebach, the Protestant minister to the early settlers, who founded Fredericksburg, Texas. I have decorated it with some of the European colors of the period and every effort has been made to maintain the architectural integrity of the original house while incorporating modern comforts. The immediate and nearby neighborhoods contain many restored old homes.

The historic property is located four blocks southwest of the Plaza in downtown New Braunfels, Texas. It is 8 blocks from the waterpark, Schlitterbahn, and also 8 blocks from Wurstfest activities and Landa Park. Downtown New Braunfels offers much antiquing, nice walking and several nice restaurants. Movies and shopping are also nearby. Historic Gruene and Gruene Hall are just 4 miles away. It is midway between Austin and San Antonio with easy access to the Hill Country and Canyon Lake. There are lots of watersports and tubing available along the Comal and Guadalupe Rivers, as well as Canyon Lake.

New Braunfels, Texas was founded by a German prince in 1845 shortly before annexation as a State of the Union. There is a wonderful mural on a downtown building depicting arrival and settlement. There is another mural celebrating Ferdinand Lindheimer, a settler of the period and father of Texas botany. He also had the first printing press in the area. After scouting the area for a location for the German settlers coming over from his hometown, Braunfels, Germany, Prince Carl Solms was convinced to settle in the area rather than go North toward San Saba. There are some great stories and histories about the early settlement.

Come stay with me. It will be my pleasure to
accommodate your comfort and convenience.
