Our family getaway at Fernweh in New Braunfels was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, the peaceful atmosphere and beautiful scenery along the Guadalupe River set the tone for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. We shared this trip with friends and family, and it became one of those rare experiences where everyone had something to love. The property itself is fantastic. We spent hours enjoying the basketball and pickleball courts, the swimming pool, and gathering around the BBQ pit area for great food and even better conversations. What really made the stay exceptional was the host and staff. They were incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming, making us feel right at home throughout our visit. Their hospitality added a personal touch that elevated the entire experience. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat with great amenities, beautiful surroundings, and outstanding service, Fernweh is absolutely worth the trip. We’re already talking about coming back.

Second year staying! Was just as good as last year. Only difference is if you come during peak season there are lots of party people staying close. The pool filled up with adults Friday and Saturday evening so definitely not a place for kiddos to be. Loud music until about midnight Friday and Saturday. For a family friendly kid stay I’d go on week days or not peak season. Besides that LOVE this place so much! We will be back!!

It was super sweet and had wonderful touches… Love that it accommodated my dog and added the little things that were perfect for a dog:) used the pool and hot tub every day and some pickle ball :-) got to visit the riverfront and also meet the owner. It was really sweet and excited to tell people about it❤️
