We stayed in the Ruth and it was the cutest little cottage. Very clean and quiet spot. My only complaint is the lack of water pressure in the shower but that won’t stop me from booking again for our next weekend get away.

Beautiful Cottage

We had a very pleasant stay. The cottage comfortably fit our family of 4, and everything was clean and well-maintained. We would love to come back when the lake is full. Lastly, the owner responded quickly to our questions via email, and our issue was handled swiftly. Thank you for a great stay!

Parking was pretty narrow at the Ruth and under and around a lot of trees. Toilet had hardly any water flow to refill the tank and made it difficult to use with two people.Guest policy would prevent me from using this property unless we could get approval. Family lives close by and to be hit with a 500 fine to have them stop by for a visit would be a problem. There was a BBQ, Picnic Table and numerous outside chairs but no visitor could sit in them - weird. Overall the property met our needs and gives us an additional place to stay if we need it.

Cute, convenient spot in Canyon Lake

We came to Canyon Lake for a wedding and this property was perfectly located to a lot of hot spots. It’s a cute spot. My only mild complaints were they could stand to replace the mattress (it’s very noisy and uncomfortable) and the shower pressure is extremely low. It made washing your hair quite difficult.

Heavenly Property

This property is absolutely gorgeous! Of course we were sad that the drought has dried the lake in front of the cabins but it's all around you. We saw deer, rabbit, fox, raccoon and birds everywhere. The cottage was very clean and beautifully decorated! We had everything we needed. We spent 5 days and will definitely be back! This will be a favorite for us. I forgot the wild berries and there are hammocks between many of the Cypress trees.

It sounds like you had a truly enchanting experience! Despite the drought affecting the lake, it's heartening to hear that the natural beauty and wildlife surrounding the property still captivated you. We're thrilled that the cottage exceeded your expectations with its cleanliness and decor, and it's wonderful to hear that you had everything you needed for a memorable stay. The presence of hammocks and wild berries adds an extra touch of charm to the setting. We can't wait to welcome you back for more unforgettable moments amid nature's splendor!

Great trip

Water was extremely low but was still able to anchor the wave runner in the lake was a bit of a walk back to cabin. Cabin was nice would stay here again only suggestion would be to leave more then one trash bag for tenants and more then 1/2 roll of TP we have lots of garbage and nowhere to put it, had to run and get TP on day one. If I would have know would have brought some with us.
