Located on the banks of the spring-fed Comal River in New Braunfels, Texas, Schlitterbahn has 51 attractions on 70+ acres. Schlitterbahn provides a large variety of river rides, waterslides, and adventures from calm to crazy. But did you know they also have lodging available? Yep, it’s true. My family and I stayed at the Riverbend Cabins a few weeks ago and it was such a great experience that we are already planning our next visit!
**Full Disclosure: I attended the Travel Talk Converge conference at a highly discounted rate. As part of this conference, my family and I were provided with complimentary items, special discounts and other benefits such as food and entertainment so we could experience everything Schlitterbahn had to offer. I was not asked to blog about my experience. All opinions are my own.
About Schlitterbahn Riverbend Cabins –
Riverbend Cabins combine a unique home style with stunning views of the Comal River and a location that keeps you close to the waterpark! When Schlitterbahn New Braunfels is open, the cabins are directly connected to the Blastenhoff section of the waterpark. (Update: as of 2022, Resort Guests no longer receive early access.)
The Riverbend Cabins have 3 room layout options:
Studio Suites – Sleeps 4 – 6 guests in a single room with 1 bathroom and full kitchen.
Small Suites – Sleeps 2 – 4 guests with a separate bedroom, 1 bathroom, a full kitchen, and living area.
Large Suites –Sleeps 6 – 10 guests with 2 separate bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a full kitchen, and large living area.
Note: Riverbend Cabins are in close vicinity to water attractions and the Bamboozle Bay Heated Pool which are open to resort guests until 10:00 p.m.
Top Five Reasons to Stay at Schlitterbahn Riverbend Cabins –
- Early and easy access to the waterpark. When you stay at the cabins, you’ll be able to enter the park at 9 a.m. – an hour before the general public.
- The cabins have kitchens so you can bring your own food and drinks (no glass or alcohol, please). Pack a picnic lunch to take into the park or head back to your cabin for lunch and a nap!
- Free parking with a designated parking space for your assigned cabin.
- The cabin patios offer a view of the waterpark.
- FUN!! Schlitterbahn New Braunfels has four times the rides and attractions of any waterpark within 200 miles, and twice the number of attractions of any waterpark within 500 miles!
Sensible Tip: If possible, make departure day just that. The last thing you want is to head home after a long day in the sun!
Family-owned and operated, Schlitterbahn New Braunfels Waterpark has been the #1 waterpark in the world for the past 21 years – and they have no intention of stopping there!
Remember: Lather on the sunscreen – early and OFTEN!
Sounds like so much fun. We loved the New Braunfels area when we visited this Spring, but it was a bit too chilly for the water park then. We must go back!
