The property was beautiful and peaceful. Loved the privacy and the quiet nature. I would definitely recommend this for couples who want to get away. I would also rebook this place everything was clean, no problems with anything,”. It was a very nice place

Thank you so much for your kind words! We hope to welcome you back again soon!
The cottage was lovely-a tidy, secluded, quiet & well-equipped place to rest comfortably after active days in town spent hiking & swimming. Would return. I liked the rustic decor of the cottage. I also felt safe with the gated entry and other cottages on the expansive property. They were not too close to ruin the feeling of privacy, but not so far away as to feel completely isolated.

Super cute and quiet. If you want to get away from the city but still be close to Downtown San Marcos or Wimberley this is the place to stay.
Perfect location. Perfect size for 2 wanting a quiet get away…
Its was a very comfortable and clean place and very private
Even on hot Texas days the porch and outside sitting area is shaded
I would definitely stay here again

We both enjoyed the bungalow, it was peaceful, and enjoyable. Nice location and we would stay again. Maybe next time there won’t be a burn ban and we can light a fire!! The A/C filter needs attention as well as the standup heater.

This was such a beautiful little spot with easy access to Wimberly, Austin, Canyon Lake, and surrounding locations.. Hidden in the back of the property, it was very private and just the perfect atmosphere inside and out to experience the Texas Hill Country in full. Easy to use fire pit where you can enjoy and sit under the stars for hours! Host was very responsive and everything was clean.

It was so clean and quiet. There is one home on the property that you can see when you leave but when you sit on the porch it is so quiet and serene. The main gate stopped working for a quick moment but they were there very quick, let us out, and had it fixed when we got back. I would stay here over and over.

We loved were we stayed. And loved every thing about the property. The only complaint was how close the toilet was to the wall. We had to sit on it sideways anytime we needed to use the restroom.

We wanted a quick getaway to disconnect from our busy crazy work life without too much sacrifice. This property delivered exactly what it said it had and wat we needed. Loved the stars at night and the nature view. We got to disconnect without sacrificing comfort. The only thing taht could improve was the cleanliness of the toilet. Everything else was in good conditions and comfortable.
