We had an incredible stay and would absolutely return. The property was peaceful, private, and surrounded by the beautiful Texas Hill Country, making it the perfect place to unwind. One of our favorite things was its location—it was just minutes from several excellent wineries and close to our favorite Italian restaurant in the area, which made the trip even more memorable.The property was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. We truly enjoyed the quiet atmosphere and the convenience of being so close to great food, wineries, and everything Wimberley has to offer.If you’re looking for a place to disconnect, enjoy the scenery, and experience the best of the Hill Country, we highly recommend staying here. We can’t wait to come back for another visit.

Overall it’s a good stay. Property is clean, management is responsive, and it’s a cute weekend stay. My only complaints are the couch is too small to be comfortable to watch TV on with 2 people, the ladders to get into the lofts feel a little shaky and are uncomfortable to climb, and one of the pans is non-stick yet they don’t have non-stick spray in the kitchen. Besides that, we had a wonderful and would recommend this place!

The cabin itself was charming, but unfortunately, our stay had several issues that were disappointing.When we first entered, there was a noticeable urine smell coming from the bathroom. The curtain used as the bathroom door had what appeared to be urine on it, and the smell remained quite strong throughout our stay (FYI no bathroom door). Thankfully, I had a home diffuser with me, which helped mask the odor somewhat.The kitchen sink also took a long time to drain, and by the following day, we noticed a sugar ant infestation.The downstairs bedroom was uncomfortably hot when the barn door was closed. Since there is only one AC unit cooling the entire cottage, the door had to remain open to keep the room comfortable, which made the space feel less private.The most disappointing part of our experience was the lack of communication before check-in. We reached out to the owners the evening before our arrival to ask whether we could park our boat a few hours before check-in. We never received a response, which felt unprofessional and left us without an answer to an important question.For the size of our group—three adults and two children—the cabin felt quite cramped. In our opinion, it would be better suited for a couple or a couple with one child.We understand that no stay is perfect, but addressing the cleanliness, maintenance, and communication issues would make a significant difference in the guest experience.

Cozy Cabin on Lots of Land

Cozy cabin on Lots of Land. If you are going to use the lofts, they are best suited to children/young adults as the ladders are narrow.

Weekend Stay

Overall it was good for the short weekend. The place was quiet and clean. It is perfect for a couple wanting a quiet get-away. The only negative is the loft areas are not ideal for an adult to stay, middle of the night you had to be extremely careful when moving - if you raise up to fast you will hit your on the ceiling.

The cottage was lovely and just the right size for my husband and I. Our dog enjoyed it also! We were minutes away from the Wimberly Winery and about 10 minutes from downtown Wimberly. The only issue we experienced was a slow moving shower drain. Someone from the property came out and resolved it that same day. I gave 4 stars for cleanliness because the floors in kitchen and bathroom weren't free of hair and dust. One more tip: perhaps you can change the hinges on the refrigerator, so that the door opens on the left. It was tricky to get into frig and curtains kept getting caught. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay and we would recommend the property to our friends.

Cozy Cottage for Small Family w/ Everything You Need

We enjoyed our stay. The grounds are kept and the pond is a short walk away and has fishes and offers a wonderful space to unwind. There are 4 Adirondack chairs next to the pond and there is a fire pit and grill which appears to be a FCFS area. The hot tub also offers a wonderful way to unwind. There was a burn ban during our stay, but there is a nice fire pit to roast hot dogs or marshmallows, if the conditions allow. The property is situated in a GREAT location that is both close and far enough from many sites. The cottage is best suited for a small family. It offers 3 QB in 3 separates sleeping spaces. Two are found in open lofts above the main bedroom and kitchen. The kitchen and sitting room are very small. There are only 3 bar stools. So, if you're a group of more than 3, you may need to turns eating or eat from your lap. Offering a 6-seater picnic table outside would be a great improvement. We appreciated how clean and new things were and hope that future renters help conserve this for the owners. Other things to keep in mind are that the ladders to get to the lofts can be challenging to climb for a full-sized adult. Also, the restroom does not have a door and may only be accessed by stepping into the main room.

A great getaway

I was genuinely impressed with this cottage and its surrounding property. I liked that it is gated, requiring a code to enter. The property is located right off the main road, but I will say really look before you exit onto the main road because some of the trees are blocking the view to see if someone is coming. The cottage was a little close to the road after entering the property, but still felt secluded, and you felt unbothered there. The cottage is really cute, exactly as shown and described online. I took it upon myself to clean a little more and update the clocks, but the overall feel of the cottage was cozy. Also, I will say if you are a coffee and tea drinker make sure to stop at HEB in town or bring your own from home--there is all the essentials to cook with, but they do not supply any coffee or teas for the coffee pot. Some vrbos have some available, but this one did not, so just FYI. The porch was truly inviting and the jacuzzi was amazing to have. It does have a big grill to be used, even though we chose not to use it. The property is about 10-15 minutes from Wimberley Square, so it is easy to go into town and back if you would like. The only real downfall was getting bit by chiggers while out there--not sure if it was because they are on the property or inside the cottage. So other than that we loved the experience and would definitely revisit if we choose to in the future. Thank you Stardust Cottage for the great experience and ease of stay. We appreciate it!

False Advertising

I would suggest reading reviews on this company.1. NO King Bed in Master Bedroom even though picture and room type stated. (Was told there was a glitch, hmmmm. I don't think so) 2. No TV in the Master Bedroom even though there is a picture of a TV in the bedroom, guessing that it was photoshopped. 3. Fenced yard for Fido (that is what they wrote)...well big water tank in the backyard, I'm guessing they consider that a fence. I'm guessing they consider a fence yard as three sides with no fence on the fourth side. 4 Oven, I think they mean a toaster oven. 5. This place holds 6 people, but only 4 bath towels, so I guess some people would have to share 6. Private hot tub....well there are neighbors right next door and they were working on the fence. So we just said hello :) 7. The lofts are great if you are about 2 ft-3 ft tall. So I'm guessing maybe kids that can climb a ladder. Not a bad place if they would have just been honest about the listing.

Stressful

I wouldn’t recommend staying here unless you plan on staying inside and not making any noise. Upon reading the description of the vrbo again “enjoy the fishing pond” there was no pond. “Explore the beautiful 11 acres” there was nothing to explore. In fact we were actually accused of trespassing on property when we didn’t even step foot off of the porch. We received noise complaint at 8:42 and was informed that neighbors were on quiet time already but there was no listing of quiet hours. By the time we received the text we had already been inside eating. The neighbors/property owners/whomever kept coming in and out of the gate and we respectfully waved at them, nothing disrespectful. The ac did not work the first night, I decided to wait till morning to report because despite it being very hot and sticky in the SHED were staying in ,I didn’t want to bother anyone at 11 at night so I waited. I report the problem in the morning (not to mention the outside lights didn’t work but that’s something I’m going to settle as a loss)by the time I’m done reporting the problem I receive a very rudely worded phone call saying I need to vacate the premises immediately and that the owner wants us gone for violating policies and trespassing. I was never told what policies I violated, but what I did not do is trespass and informed whoever was on the phone with me that I was being wrongfully accused of things I didn’t participate in.. I told them check the cameras to see.
