Such a fun getaway!

My family and I had such a lovely time at the Dome. It was exactly as advertised and we loved being away from the city to re connect. Our kids loved playing in the river and we enjoyed cooking s’mores over the fire!

It was a wonderful time spent with family. Host provides a bit of everything you can think of. River access is just a brief walk from the home. Hope to stay there again some day.

Quiet Get Away

My wife and I needed some time away from the stress of work and living in the DFW area. We needed a break from the city. We found this property, and the outdoor space and quiet location were just what we were looking for. With short drives to Wimberley, Gruene, and New Braunfels, we were able to enjoy some small hill country towns and experience Wurst Fest in New Braunfels. We had a great long weekend.

Great property. There was a leak in the ceiling in the entry way. We had to clean it up and put a cooler under it. It was from the rain. When it stopped raining it was fine.

Quiet getaway

This property was unique and secluded, which is what we were looking for. Was very relaxing, spacious and peaceful. Furnishings were clean and comfortable and kitchen had everything we needed. The views and outdoor spaces were very nice. The river was low when we visited, but that is a risk you take; at least the fish were biting!

Dome River House

We had a great time, but wish the river had been much closer. It's way too far and steep of a walk for people with children or with disabilities. I wouldn't consider this property to be "riverfront" by any means.

Great Quiet Experience

The Dome was a nice quiet getaway. Loved reading on the porch. Home was clean and had everything we needed to cook. We did bring wood for firepit. It was a bit of a walk to the river but the field was beautiful and nice to walk through. We didnt go down much due to the climb back up. Easy but uphill with bad knees.

Beautiful Property

Beautiful and secluded property and river. The access to river and with the rock landing was great. The depth of water was a pleasant surprise considering the drought in Texas. The house was nice and comfortable, the kitchen had every thing we needed and the bedrooms were nice and spacious.

Cute house on beautiful property

We really enjoyed our stay at the Dome house. The outdoor area and river front were perfect for lounging and relaxing with family! The house comfortably slept 10 adults. I would not say it comfortably would sleep 12 adults, the sleeper chairs are small and not very comfortable.

Patios everywhere

Spacious house and nice outside areas for entertaining. The fire pit is great for making smores and the lower patio has amazing views. River access is a little walk but once you're at the water there is another patio area perfect for getting ready to float or just relax and fish. With 4 kids and 4 adults the house had plenty of room without feeling cramped. We will definitely be back!

The Dome River House Exceeds Expectations!

This property is so beautiful! The private access to a relatively untouched river makes this place a hidden gem. My friends and I absolutely loved this place. The only suggestion would be some potential updates but that really wasn’t a big deal. I was more worried about cleanliness, but the property was very very clean! Be prepared to deal with a few bugs simply because this is located in nature. Overall, very lovely experience. We plan on coming back!

Amazing place!!!!

Our stay was so wonderful. My son moved to San Marcos to go to college and we stayed here when we moved him in to make a fun family vacation out of it. This is where I want to stay every time we visit him! First of all, it’s a dome house, which everyone thought was super cool. And super roomy with plenty of room for my family of 5. There was a beautiful outdoor area and you can walk down to the river. And the stars - oh my goodness!!! I still think about it. We brought our dog and could just walk outside with him and let him run. It was on several acres with lots of trees and was so secluded, quiet and peaceful . And the beds were so comfortable. I highly recommend the Dome Home as we called it, and can’t wait to stay there again!!!

Cute Dome House!

The house is super cute and fun. It could have been cleaner. The trash can was extremely dirty and some bugs in the kitchen. The upstairs isn’t completely “ceiling-ed” in so you can hear all conversations due to the shape. :) Coffee on the patio with a view in the mornings was a great way to start the day. The stone dock down by the river was the best part. Our stay was during the record heatwave so we had to drive down to it. If you visit in better weather it would be walkable. Pretty and peaceful. Overall it’s a fine place to stay to float the river in New Braunfels.

great overall

the property was great, it was quiet and secluded. it was a bit hard to find since the gps wasnt super accurate. i thought it said on the website but maybe i didnt read it, it does not have wifi, wich isnt a big issue but can be for some (you still have pretty good phone reception). they have several grills and firewood and beautiful patios to lounge on. the stars are very bright b.c there is no light pollution so its awesome to sit outside (just be sure to bring a flashlight). house was pretty spacious, (walls are a bit thin) but thats no big deal. cute little rustic house, will definitely come again.

Scorpion Surprise

The dome is more like a cabin from the sixties, and it feels like it's stuck in the nineties. Overall, things were clean, but it was stale inside. The place is worn down. It has a peat problem with German roaches everywhere. The river has a long walk down. Driving to the river is hard because of the tight turns. The biggest problem was the scorpions... 4 in one day is excessive, especially with an infant. This house wasn’t very child friendly. Overall, the threat of scorpions in the house cause me to flee the house after one night. There was no credit or refund. Do not book if you have small children.

German cockroaches

The countertops and table were sticky and covered in food. We had to wipe everything down as soon as we got there as well as sweep. The listing stated there were double beds, there were none. Only 2 kings beds and a bunch of single beds. Not ok for 3 couples. The house was infested with german cockroaches. All of our belongings are now tied up in black trash bags outside as to not infest our house as well. We were only given one and a half extra rolls of toilet paper for 7 people as well as only 1 extra trash bag. Due to the intense amount of cockroach activity, the lack of toilet paper, and the level of the river, which we were told before booking was full (it was not), we all decided to leave a day early. A refund for a night and the cleaning fee would be much appreciated since we couldn’t stay and had to clean upon arrival.

Roaches but beautiful land

The property is beautiful. The views are amazing, the river is lovely. The beds are comfortable & kitchen is fully stocked. The house has water damage that’s been kind of repaired. There were roaches everywhere…dishwasher was disgusting, a bottle of Raid greeted us at the door, roaches lived in oven, had to clean fridge of dead bugs & feces, didn’t keep any food out, threw everything out when we left, used our own clean towels & sheets. I told the management company and was told this was the first they heard of this, which is surprising since there were so many (& the Raid). This is not something they could fix while we were there (it takes time to get rid of roaches & we didn’t want someone spraying poison where our kids & dogs were.) The management company has many reviews regarding lack of cleanliness of their properties, but we came prepared to clean if necessary because we aren’t very picky. There were moths and spiders, which don’t really bother us as we are in the country, however, it was clear they had a roach infestation. We go for the outdoors, not the indoors. Again, the land is beautiful and it is so sad that the home is infested.

Fine but dingy

Not worth the cost. First issue is no wifi. I’m sure it’s probably in the description, but I didn’t even think to look for that, because who doesn’t have wifi? Without cell service or wifi, there was no way to contact the property management. Although it had the astringent burning cleaner smell when you walked in, the floors were dirty, the incredibly uncomfortable couch still had pet hair on it and a funky smell, the bed linens were musty smelling, and half the dishes we tried to use still had food on them because the dish washer soap dispenser door doesn’t open when it runs. The patio is nice, but don’t expect peace and quiet, since there’s a neighboring sports complex, and their noise travels very well up the river valley and into your patio time. River access is also fine, but the river itself is only a couple feet deep and unshaded, so only enjoyable in the evening in summer. I promise I wasn’t looking for things to complain about, I was just unpleasantly surprised at how overall dingy and unsatisfactory the place was. Would not recommend.
