River Bend Retreat 2 Homes for 12 Next to Lake Dunlap

When you arrive, start your stay by enjoying the peaceful waterfront lounge area just steps from your door. Whether you’re relaxing on the front deck of Sportsman’s Den or soaking in the sun by the lake, there’s no shortage of serene spaces to sip your morning coffee or unwind with an evening drink. Inside Sportsman’s Den, the living room exudes personality, with mounted trophy bucks and fish adding rustic character to the space. A plush couch and recliner invite you to kick back and catch a game or movie on the smart TV. Prefer a quieter retreat? Head next door to Southern Comfort, where a reclining sectional and smart TV create the perfect spot for lazy mornings or cozy nights in.

Both homes feature fully equipped kitchens that are a cook’s dream. Stainless steel appliances and large islands with seating for three make meal prep a pleasure. After whipping up something delicious, gather around the dining table for six in Southern Comfort, surrounded by windows that flood the space with natural light. Sportsman’s Den also features a built-in workspace, ideal for those who need to plug in before another day of fishing, swimming, or exploring.

Beyond the property, New Braunfels is packed with things to see and do. Float the rivers, visit Schlitterbahn Waterpark, or catch live music at Gruene Hall, Texas’ oldest dance hall. Enjoy hearty meals at The Gristmill, sip local wines, browse antique shops, or hike the scenic Hill Country trails.
