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.

Cute little cottage nestled in the woods of Canyon Lake that was so peaceful & relaxing. We throughly enjoyed our stay! It was perfectly located near the wedding venue that we attended, and not far from Wildflour where we had brunch with delicious food!

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!

Cute room. I did not feel entirely safe. A deadbolt or extra lock would have been nice. It was clean but there were some drain flies in the bathroom. The cottages are cute for a nice overnight stay!

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.

Excellent stay

This was our 2nd time to stay in Ruth and it was a great stay. The only thing I was sad about, no fault of the property management company, was the water levels are extremely low due to the drought. The lake was still enjoyable, just had to walk a little further. Again, this is no one’s fault, just know before you go that you may not be able to walk straight out and enjoy the water. The place is immaculate and is a very quiet location. We even got to meet and visit with a neighbor. We’ll definitely be back since we love this place so much!
