About this property

Relaxing Getaway in the Texas Hill Country - Sweet Ginger Cottage

Sweet Ginger Cottage is a charming tiny house tucked into a quiet country neighborhood in the heart of the Texas Hill Country. Perfectly situated halfway between Austin and San Antonio, it’s just a short drive to Wimberley, New Braunfels, Gruene, and San Marcos.

The cottage sits on the north side of Canyon Lake on a scenic, wooded lot, with a peaceful dry creek bordering the back of the property—ideal for relaxing and soaking in the Hill Country atmosphere. For larger groups, Poppy Seed Cottage is located next door and can be rented simultaneously, when available.

Thank you. Yes, Canyon Lake is extremely dry right now. It's sad.

Cute little getaway in a place I grew up!

I initially looked at this place because it in a neighborhood I grew up in and is down the hill from my dad’s house. I wanted to be able to spend time with family but have a place to run to when I got tired of them. Lol. When I arrived I realized it is located right by the legendary spooky tree where the road forks around said tree and I was pretty excited. (It was spookier when there weren’t any houses in that area. Lol) the house was really cute and well kept. A winter storm hit right before we got there so we weren’t able to enjoy the outdoor seating much but it’s there and a nice set up. The only issue we had was that you had to shower quick or you would finish with cold water. I attribute that to the fact that the water replenishing the water heater was border line freezing. I’m sure in normal conditions the water heater works fine.
