This place served it's purpose, but at a huge extra expense. "Fully stocked kitchen" must mean something different to these guys. There were lots of plates, silverware, and glassware. An assortment of pots, hardly any utensils to cook or serve with, and the ONLY thing they supplied was a half a pack of generic coffee filters and two of the cheapest rolls of paper towels ever. NO foil, no plastic wrap or ziplock bags, no salt or pepper, or spices at all, no sugar packets, nothing. The oven was broken and only half worked and they didn't even have a dish drainer.
One of the main lights took like 30 seconds to come on after you flipped the switch, so I was afraid the place would catch on fire.
The washer and dryer were in the main restroom and there was no laundry basket, so don't drop your clothes on the restroom floor. Of course, there was not any laundry soap or dryer sheets either.
The BBQ pit had an empty propane tank and NO utensils to cook with.
Fire pit, but no wood, lighter fluid, or matches.
There was not even a broom or dust-pan, just an old school mop. I had to buy trash bags and toilet paper.
Oooohh, and the "Cable TV" doesn't have local channels, so I had to subscribe to a service to watch the football game that I had invited everyone to come watch.
Then, my 70 year old mother tripped over the 2 inch lip that separates the walkway from the driveway...and busted her butt good. When I reported it to the owner, he said "Well, there's nothing I can do about that, is there?". Very dangerous...and she wasn't even drinking.
The "en suite bathroom" was tiny and awkward. The shower slopes, so water runs out on the floor, the tray to hold your shampoo slopes, so your bottles keep falling. I had to use towels to deal with both. There were lots of towels.
The property served it's purpose for a family get-together and the fenced in yard kept the kids from running off, so it wasn't a horrible place to stay.
I traveled over 2,000 miles to see my family and shouldn't have to pack my BBQ utensils, or foil, or laundry soap, or everything else.
I won't go back and I won't stay at another "New Braunfels Escapes" location.
