SPECIAL TO THE AMERICAN-STATESMAN
Sunday, November 29, 2009 New Braunfels is a beautiful city within commuting distance of Austin and San Antonio. It's graced with a historic downtown, Schlitterbahn water park and two picturesque rivers, the Comal and the Guadalupe. For people who want to live on a riverfront, New Braunfels offers many types of properties, from luxury million-dollar mansions to one-bedroom condominiums. Some buyers might want to retire in one of these houses, while others are looking for a place they can visit on vacation. Still others are looking for investment properties they can rent out on busy summer weekends. Thousands of people flock to New Braunfels' rivers in the summertime for tubing, picnics and parties. "We have the perfect location," says Susan Phillips, the owner of A1 Vacation New Braunfels, a property management company. "We have a fantastic chamber of commerce for a town this size. We have good schools, a good climate, and a small-town community feel." Besides kayaking, tubing and swimming in summer, New Braunfels offers winter activities such as Schlitterbahn's Hill Country Christmas, antique shopping and Old Gruene Market Days. Many "winter Texans" stay in New Braunfels, attracted by the good weather, recreational activities at Canyon Lake and inexpensive restaurants.

The historic German town of New Braunfels is located in the heart of the magnificent Texas Hill Country. Austin is 40 minutes north and San Antonio is 30 miles east of New Braunfels. There are dozens of charming Hill Country villages located close by for fun day trips to shop for antiques. Our area is know for the many Mexican, German and Texas BBQ restaurants.

Sea World, Fiesta Texas, the Riverwalk and the Alamo are fun things to see and do in nearby San Antonio. Schlitterbahn Waterpark in downtown New Braunfels was voted the #1 Waterpark in the country by the Travel Channel. Natural Bridge Caverns, Wildlife Safari Park, Landa Park and the McKenna Children's Museum are fun for the kids. Wurstfest is a huge beer and sausage festival in early November each year followed by Festagge, a series of Christmas activities, that run through December including Wassailfest and the downtown Tree Lighting . Schlitterbahn now has the "Hill Country Christmas" with ice skating and entertainment. The Harley Davidson Hog Rally in 2008 was the largest in the nation and is held in April each year. Several Texas Wineries can be found throughout the area.

New Braunfels is also popular with runners and walkers. The Wurst Five Mile Run drew 1200 runners and the Jingle Bell Run 800. There are six or seven runs per year at Landa Park and in Gruene. Cyclists also enjoy the Tour de Gruene which featured Lance Armstrong in 2008!

Enjoy year round golf at a dozen area courses. The Central Texas Men's Invitational Golf Fest is held each April and is wildly popular. Participating courses are The Golf Club in Seguin, Landa Park, Northcliffe, Quail Creek Country Club, Woodlake Country Club and Starke Park.

Tennis buffs enjoy Newks Tennis Ranch and TBM, where tennis academies draw young players from all over the world. There are water ski schools on Lake McQueeney and Placid.

The mild climate in New Braunfels allows walking and running year round and the Winter Texans do love to walk!

All of the A1 Vacation New Braunfels vacation rental properties are fully furnished with all the amenities needed for a comfortable vacation stay. All are waterfront with the exception of Bougan-Villa and Rose Cottage which are across the street from Schlitterbahn and the Comal River. Some have hot tubs, swimming pools and boat slips. Each property is unique so take the visual tours to find the perfect destination for your group.
