Christmas in the Cottage
Our family of 3 decided to have a last minute getaway for Christmas. This cottage was perfect. The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked. The game room was fun, great for family time and we loved the book nook with the bean bag chairs. The location was convenient to the lake, Wimberley, and San Marcos for hiking and dinning and other activities. Tithe added bonus was the deer feed. The deer came from everywhere once you threw the feed out.

We stayed here for our daughter’s 3rd birthday and she had a blast! The house is just as pictured and had all the activities to keep her entertained. Feeding “Santa’s Reindeer” was her favorite part. We will most definitely be staying here again!

Quick weekend getaway
The property was very clean and Austin was a very attentive and responsive host. Coffee with creamer and sugar is a must and they had plenty to pick from. Clean and comfortable linens. The deer coming so close to the house was an added bonus. If ever back in the area, wouldn’t hesitate to book this cottage again.

Loved the interaction with nature!
We stayed for a few days in mid August for my husbands birthday and we LOVED it! The home is adorable and perfect for our family of 4. The neighborhood is quiet and the neighbors we met were very nice. We looked forward to feeding deer and were NOT disappointed! We saw deer in yards even before we got to the house. We put corn around the yard and had a ton of furry visitors throughout all hours of the day! Deer are my daughters favorite animal so she was in heaven. We spent so much time on the porch throwing corn out and watching them eat. We took a short drive down to the lake one day so the kiddos could swim. We also sat in the back of our truck at the end of the driveway late at night to watch the meteor shower. The loft is great for the kiddos and we had fun playing games as a family. The house had everything we needed and the beds were comfy. We would definitely book again in the future. The hosts are very communicative from beginning to end! They do a great job making sure the house has anything you could need.

Canyon Lake Trip
We chose this house to stay in when we took our boys to the lake. The game room was the big selling point for us! No shortage of fun there! The size of the house was perfect for the 4 of us. The house is very clean and cozy. It’s in a neighborhood, but it felt private. We had a lot of deer come up to the front porch and fed them corn that the owners provided. The rocking chairs on the porch were nice with morning coffee. The location was great! Since Canyon Lake rents boats with tubes and skis we may stay here again. Thank you!

This place was amazing. My kids LOVED their room. The games are perfect. My kids always had something to do while at the home. The beds were very comfortable! My favorite was in the mornings going outside to feed the deer, then sit and drink coffee and watch the view. It was so relaxing and comfortable. The owner Austin was very responsive from the very beginning of our booking till we left! Any time we needed anything, we would reach out and we would get a fast response. Very attentive. Over all it was one of the best stays I’ve had. I definitely recommend.

Hidden treasure in the Hills
The house was perfect for our stay! Very clean & comfortable.The kitchen was well equipped for making all of our meals. You get a small start on things you may need (Papertowels, toilet paper,ect). All the games are perfect for keeping you entertained inside. The open layout (balcony upstairs over looks the downstairs) makes it feel so much bigger. The real hidden gem is the fire pit outside you can sit watch (&feed with corn provided) SO many beautiful deer all day long! No lake view from house but you are a few min drive to do many wonderful places to access it. Lastly, the owner is TOP notch & quickly answered any questions or concerns i had even going above& beyond. Would Def stay here again

Perfect family get-a-way!
Everything was perfect from the owners staying in constant contact down to every detail inside the house. The house was decorated very nice and cozy which made it feel like home. They also thought of everything down to an iron and blow dryer for you to use. The house had tons of games and space for my family. We also made great memories drinking the stocked coffee while feeding the deer in the morning. The neighborhood was nice, friendly, quiet and close to everything we needed. Most definitely recommend and we will be back to make great memories on Canyon Lake. A huge thank you to the best host we have rented from thus far.
