In the middle of New Braunfels is a hidden paradise. Our family has been tubing the Comal for over 40 years. Since Schlitterbahn has commercialized the river we have found a home at "The Other Place". Hidden just beyond the trees, beautiful, comfortable with all the amenities you need to make your family's vacation memorable. Cabins are perfect for families... More

Another wonderful year on the river! The owners here make sure we want to return year after year, with the family-friendly courtyard, manicured lawns, comfortable and well stocked cabins AND the Comal River at our doorstep. We highly recommend this for families of all ages!

Love this place. Bought the Tshirt. Very friendly people around BBQing and playing horseshoes. Beds weren't great but you just sleep. I plan on going back. Had a blast. Very peaceful. Everything is stocked just bring your own food and all your goods.

while there this past april I saw these little bugs. didn't think much about them till we got home and had these terrible bites on us. I looked up the type of bug I saw there and they were bed bugs. We also had problems with the AC. They charge for tube rental. I feel it should come with the... More

During the past 18 years we have had one (1) confirmed bed bug incident and that was in 2007. This was limited to 1 or 2 beds out of the 134 that we have on site. We dealt with the problem then and have been watchful ever since. We have taken some proactive steps since then including a 220V heat... More

We have been going here for years. Its always been wonderful. This time however was different. Basically they said we could stay for one night in a cabin and get the 25% off season discount. We made the reservation, they charged my credit card the discounted rate. Then we get a phone call the day before we were to arrive... More

Have stayed here many years with our family. Management has gotten really bad. They tell you when you can have the cabin the next year and you have to take the number of days they tell you.(which is more days that you want) The location is nice but the cabins are really old and never any improvements. The mattresses have... More

Have stayed here many times and before it was The Other Place. Many fond memories and best river location in New Bruanfels. Customer service on this trip, however, was terrible. Advertised check-in is 4:00 PM. Don't get there an hour early because the office staff will NOT let you check-in. Doesn't matter whethr the room is ready or not. They... More

We have stayed at The Other Place since the '70s. However, this year we were disappointed with both the room assignments & the attitude of the office personnel. We placed our reservations several months in advance & requested upstairs in the duplex. We were placed in the 8plex which is considerably smaller & told by the office staff that the... More

We have stayed at The Other Place many times. This year we were there in August. As always, the location cannot be beat. We love the horseshoe that goes around the resort. You can jump in the Comal on one side of The Other Place and get out on othe other side. It's a nice 30 minute (or so) trip.... More

It is rustic/simple/basic, but it was great for us. Almost everyone we saw were families, most 3 generations. BBQ pits and a nice playground, easy access to the Comal on every side, tube rental, and transport to the chutes ($). Friendly, helpful staff. Our room was not perfectly clean, that's why 3 stars. Food left on some of the dishes,... More
