We absolutely loved staying here. Check in/out was super easy, the house was super clean and cozy, and the balcony has the most beautiful view. I loved how tucked away the property was and we enjoyed watching the deer/birds come and visit us. I highly recommend this property!!

Beautiful, peaceful and unique property! We loved our stay. It was very relaxing. Deer, hummingbirds, and even little kittens were on the property. The only negative thing would be the driveway had pretty sharp corners and was hard to get in/out in an F250. But still was possible. We loved our stay and would stay again.

Cute little getaway

House was super cute and clean! Lots of privacy and water pressure in the shower was A+! Took a couple tries but eventually figured out how to get into the driveway in one swoop lol. Would definitely stay again!

Hill top house

We absolutely enjoyed our visit. The house is very well stocked with everything that you would need, and then some. There is food for the deer and birds. There is plenty of wild life that visits the property. We had seven bucks pass through a couple of times. There were three doe and a spike that would hang out for long periods. Got to see a fox and some roadrunners come through.

Great Location

Great location with accurate photos and description. The AC didn't quite keep up during the hottest part of the day (July) but it wasn't bad with the ceiling fans running. Loved the outside speakers on the deck.

Great stay in Canyon Lake

We stayed 2 nights with our teenage son and had a great time. The property was immaculate and comfortable. Had a small issue with the WiFi that was resolved quickly. The king bed is so comfortable!!! Lots of hammocks in the yard to really relax and let go of the travel stress:) Lowe’s supermarket is really close as well as some great restaurants.

Great cottage

This cottage was the perfect get away for a few relaxing days. It had everything we needed - nice fully stocked kitchen, comfy bed, beautiful deck & very clean! We enjoyed sitting on the deck for dinner, or relaxing in the hammock. Gruene & Wimberley are just a short drive away. Jose immediately responded to my messages. Highly recommend!

Great view and location

We stayed only for one night for a concert near by. The house was very clean and had an wonderful view. We were there for such a short time that we didn't get to enjoy the outside area. It was a great place for a night or two. I am not sure if we would stay for more than 3 due to space, but its a great location and very homie. Thanks again.
