Photos and Description of the New Braunfels vacation house rental
House, 4 Bedrooms + Den, 3 Baths, (Sleeps 16)

BlueMoon Inn is truly an extraordinary waterfront retreat with panoramic views of spectacular Lake Dunlap. Explore the many amenities this lakefront home has to offer and you just may never leave!

The newly remodeled main house has three spacious bedrooms, all with private TV's and DVD players. Each bedroom is tastefully decorated with warm and inviting color schemes. Sink down into your own plush pillow top mattress along with cozy hand stitched quilts from the local quilters of Gruene. With three full baths your guests will have plenty of time to shower or freshen up before dinner.

You'll enjoy a fully equipped kitchen with brand new stainless steel appliances and the latest cooking accessories to make that perfect gourmet meal. The dining area seats up to 16 and is open to the family room which consists of a large wall of glass windows overlooking the sunroom and the lake. Watch one of your favorite movies from our extensive library come to life on a 50' flat screen plasma TV. Stay connected to family, friends, or your office with WiFi computer access throughout the home.

Just a few steps down from the family room, is the bright and cheery sunroom which is also surrounded in floor to ceiling glass. This is the perfect place to enjoy your morning cup of coffee or to use as an additional dining area. Right outside the main house, a private bungalow provides a large, separate sleeping area for those who want to get away from the rest of the crowd or for the older kids who want a place of their own. This area includes three twin over full bunk beds, TV, DVD player, and a refrigerator for your convenience. A private deck gives you the best views of the lake.

The outdoor patio areas of this home are an entertainer's dream with four separate gathering areas. The cook of the family will love the stainless gas grill for cooking their best grilled recipes. In the evening dine alfresco on the adjoining patios under twinkling white lights.

In the summer, use our pier to dock your boats and jet skis or rent a pontoon or ski boat from one of the local rental companies. Swimming, fishing, boating and all water sports are in full swing during this time of year. Your family will love the many activities this lake has to offer. On those chilly autumn nights, watch the bright stars of the hill country while relaxing in the heated Jacuzzi tub or gather round the stone patio and fire pit on the banks of Lake Dunlap to watch the roaring fire as the moonlight dances over the water.

Curious about other adventures in the area? Drive only two miles down the road to explore the many activities New Braunfels has to offer. Leisurely tube or kayak down the Guadalupe or Comal rivers for the day or take the kids to Schlitterbaun, the #1 water park in the world!

If you're searching for a unique shopping experience, look no further than across the river in the Gruene Historic District. This quaint little town along the Guadalupe River is a paradise for those searching for antiques, ironworks, pottery and other fine accessories. Try one of the many popular restaurants Gruene has to offer or relax with a glass of wine at the local wine tasting shop while sampling exclusive Texas wines, champagne and specialty beers.

Later in the evening, enjoy lively entertainment and dancing at Gruene Hall where the likes of George Strait, Willie Nelson and Lyle Lovett first started their country western careers. Gruene is also known for hosting various special events and celebrations almost every weekend from March through December. Enjoy 'Gruene Market Days' once a month or catch one of the many music or wine fests scheduled throughout the year.

Care for some shopping on a grander scale? The famous San Marcos Outlet Mall is only a few short minutes away with the some of the finest retail stores available while providing some of the greatest discount prices found in Texas. Crate n Barrel, Coach, Pottery Barn and Chico's are just a few of the stores included in this giant outdoor mall.

So come visit us at BlueMoon Inn. Whether you decide to relax by the lake under a blanket of stars or explore the many activities of the hill country area, your vacation will surely be one to remember.

We had a wonderful time staying on the river to celebrate my mother's 69th birthday. The photos accurately reflect the home. It was more than I expected. There was plenty of room for all of us and it was great having 3 bathrooms. We enjoyed the fire pit each evening and each morning enjoy the view of the river. The house was clean and well maintained. The kitchen has everything you need. This was a girls trip so we hit all the shopping stops from Gruene to San Marcos. The owner is very friendly. We will definitely come back.

Stayed at this property from July 1 - 5, 2012. The property was very clean and ready to go as advertised. On the night of the 4th, we took a pontoon boat ride in the evening just before dusk. There was a slight breeze and the air was warm and dry as we cruised past all of the beautiful shoreline properties on Lake Dunlop. Later, we sat around the fire pit and watched fireworks all around us. Just as the fireworks died down, a full moon appeared above the tree line across from us as if on cue. It was a wonderful evening that we will always remember. There was plenty of room to dock our pontoon boat and two jet skis...although parking the trailers and four cars was tight. The owner refunded 100% of our deposit promptly.

We had our Girl Scout Reunion at the Blue Moon Inn and everyone loved it!! It's such a comfy place, beautifully decorated and very clean! There was plenty of room for our group of 13. Great location on Lake Dunlap. We especially enjoyed the fire pit at the water's edge...singing songs and making S-mores. As noted by others, the well-equipped kitchen made cooking easy. This is a beautiful home and you will love staying here!

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Bluemoon Inn. Spent two months, January and February 2012...snowbirds from Wisconsin! Loved the decor, how well stocked the kitchen was and the quality of the bedding. Location was great! We have rented off VRBO four times and Tana and Greg's place was by far the best. Would highly recommend!!!

Stayed at BlueMoon Inn in December 2011, and we had a very enjoyable family vacation. The house is just as depicted. The backyard is large and we really enjoyed the fire pit. My 3 boys (ages 6, 10, 10) really enjoyed gathering pecans, playing football, and especially using the paddleboat. The beds are all comfortable and we felt right at home. We had our one year old baby with us and found the house easy to keep her safe in, the only stairs are going down into the sunroom, so we could just close the door to keep her from falling. The hot tub was a nice amenity as well.

Family Thanksgiving at the Blue Moon

Great place for a large crowd, a very well equipped kitchen, a place for everyone to sit and sleep, lots of televisions, which was nice as it rained one of the days we were there and not everyone wanted to watch football. A very pretty view of the water, we caught enough fish for a fish fry for 15 people, convenient to everything, most importantly it was very clean.

Family Get Together at Incredible Home

We had a family get together and traveled from Sugar Land & San Antonio. We had a wonderful time! The home exceeded our expectations. It is equipped with everything you need (and then some), has beautiful views of the water the moment you walk in the front door, and was very clean. Tana & Greg have put a lot of thought and effort into making you feel extremely comfortable from the moment you walk in until the moment you leave. We grilled, ate, fished, watched football, relaxed and enjoyed each other's company. We never left the house, except for those who got in a morning run. There were 8 adults and a baby, and everyone had plenty of space. We enjoyed morning coffee sitting around the pit by the water and in the sunroom. The different levels and areas for sitting on the deck and by the water were perfect. We were lucky to get gorgeous weather (low 60's to high 80's) and soaked up every bit of it. I highly recommend this home!! We were extremely impressed.

What a wonderful place for our family to come together - parents, children and grandchildren. A good time was had by all. Meal preparation was easy because of a well stocked kitchen. Everyone slept comfortablyand no lines formed at the bathrooms. Add the dock,water,bost and jet ski (ours) and what more could you ask for.

Family Reunion - Great time had by all

Lake Dunlap is a beautiful setting. This property was perfect for our family reunion of 14 (ages 14-76). The home was clean and well maintained and the kitchen was superbly stocked. The pictures very accurately depict the setting. We brought our boat and jet ski with no problems. You may want to call and check the status of the water levels before you come if you are bringing watercraft. The owner instructions were very detailed and quite helpful. We would definitely considering returning to this home.
