Nice property for kids with a tree fort, and dogs with a fenced yard. Great game selections like ping pong,foosball and darts. Big TVs and comfortable furniture. We were short some paper goods, but the stores are close enough for feeling like being in the country. Great stay overall.

Hideaway to rest and relax

Absolutely beautiful home with amazing views and outdoor living. The home has anything you will need for cooking and comforts. My family enjoyed us all being together for my son's graduation from TSU. The house was very clean and well taken care off. We enjoyed every minute. Communication with our host was also great! We highly recommend this property.

Thoughtful touches

The host did a great job at proving small things to allow for successful trip - dog bed, dog bowls, small treats. Also had enough necessities - trash bags, detergent, cooking oil and spray, etc. Was a wonderful time to focus on friends and family in a beautiful home.

Family Christmas

We needed a place to host our large family Christmas while undergoing renovations. This amazing home and host was even better than the detailed listing. First the location felt like a remote hill country location but was 6 minutes from a small town with grocery store and restaurants and only 20 minutes from nearby Gruene. The hosts had also thought of everything down to fresh Christmas decor and dog toys/treats. The back yard and covered porch made for great hangouts and late night fire pit conversations. The large game room was full of activities and the kitchen was just the right size. Plenty of parking and open communication from the host though they had thought of everything so we only communicated for check in and out. We were there for a specific purpose but the river was close by and so much around to enjoy. Perfect stay.

Hilltop Hideaway is exactly what you get

Can’t wait to return!! Fathers Day weekend getaway with 7 adults and 3 teenage boys. House was tucked away on hill and great privacy. House location between Canyon Lake and Guadalupe River. We took our boat and had a lake day and a river day. Plenty Parking at the house and has a spot for your boat back in. We tried to enjoy the backyard and back porch as much as we could with the heat. One morning we were visited by Fox and another morning a mama deer and her fawn. Beds are super comfy, and bedding is premium. Ping pong table was a hit. Joetta was a perfect host, and honestly one of the sweetest and most attentive VRBO owners I’ve ever communicated with.

About the host

Hosted by Joetta

Host profile image
Joetta & Derrick
We have very busy work schedules, so traveling to quiet & relaxing places where we can have fun and reconnect with our family and friends has always been a huge joy.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this vacation property almost as soon as we turned onto River Road, crossed the bridge over the Guadalupe River, and curved around the hills of the tree canopied roads. We loved all the trees in the front and backyard, as well as the deer gathering for breakfast and dinner around the deer feeder. We've hosted our kids (grown and not grown), parents, and friends here, enjoying lots of laughs and fun together. The layout of the home makes it cozy but not scrunched together. We hope our guests have that same experience, making wonderful memories with their important people, while staying here.

What makes this property unique

Close to both Canyon Lake and New Braunfels activities, as well as a nice drive to Wimberley and Fredericksburg. In a location that feels far away from it all, but just a few minutes into town. Unique floorplan, providing privacy with the primary suite on one side of the house, a secondary Queen suite off the bedroom with privacy of a pocket door separating it from the living room, and 3 other bedrooms on the other side of the house. A lot of various outdoor gathering options with the back porch seating, pergola covered deck area with dining table, picnic table, front yard Adirondack chairs and table.
