The Other Place Resort stands out as a unique getaway, nestled on 4 1/2 acres along the picturesque horseshoe bend of the spring-fed Comal River. Established in 1910 by Ernst Giesecke, this family-owned resort has been a cherished retreat for families for over a century. With its prime location on the peninsula of the Comal, nearly all of our cottages offer stunning riverfront views, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the beauty of nature. You can easily access the river and float the horseshoe bend without ever leaving the property.
While our resort provides a secluded and tranquil atmosphere, it is conveniently located just four blocks from the vibrant shops and restaurants of downtown New Braunfels. This perfect blend of privacy and accessibility makes it an ideal destination for relaxation and adventure.
Guests can unwind on their back porches, watching the river flow by and observing the resident deer that frequent the area. Our central picnic area is perfect for gatherings, featuring barbecue grills, a playscape for children, a volleyball court, and a horseshoe pit. It’s an excellent spot to connect with family and friends after a day spent floating the river or exploring the local attractions.
