Perfect!!
We had a wonderful stay at this VRBO! The home was not only family-friendly but also pet-friendly, which was a huge plus for us. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed, and everything was set up perfectly for our needs. The beautiful and clean environment added to the overall enjoyment of our stay. It was the ideal accommodation for attending a wedding in town. Highly recommend!

Quick Trip to the Hill Country
Awesome property. It was very clean with wonderful attention to detail from the property managers. Communication was quick and check in was seamless. We stayed with our Golden Retriever who is a bit spoiled and does not travel well. She was very comfortable here. The location is great, Quiet yet still close enough to everything. Would definitely stay again.

Cozy Hill Country Stay
This place is private, cozy, clean, very pet friendly and centrally located to downtown New Braunfels, Wimberly, Dripping Springs and not to far from Blanco or Johnson City...all our favorite Hill Country places. If you like Breweries like we do, there is New Braunfels Brewing, Twisted X and our new favorite find, Ghost Note Brewery. And Elio's Pizzeria in Sattler has the best pizza! Chill's on the Creek on Wimberly Square for good dry rub BBq wings (pet friendly). If you are taking your dogs on a trip, consider this place. Entire place is fenced in and they have an indoor kennel that's leads to outdoor dog run, so if you want to enjoy some alone time without the fur babies you can leave them in this indoor/outdoor kennel with no worries. We will definitely be back for next year's fall trip. Don't think we could find a better place to stay with our fur babies.

Fantastic location and perfect for our dog loving fam
We loved loved loved this property. Less than 10 min drive to Wimberley. We ate at the Leaning Pear and Creekhouse for dinners which were our faves. Chill’s by the creek was good for lunch. Took kids to natural bridge caverns and then had lunch at the Gristmill and went to Gruene hall. Canyon lake was a fun day trip too- weather was chilly in March, would love to come back in summer. The house had everything we needed. Wi-Fi worked great. Dogs loved running in the yard and we built a fire in the chiminea almost every night. The dog run was awesome and they loved the doggy door.

Property was amazing! Great for dogs
We really enjoyed our time at Ollie’s cottage. Everything was immaculate. Great bedding and towels. Far exceeded our expectations. The dog kennel and turnout was so clean as well. Our dog came with us on most excursions, but when we went for dinner we used the kennel. It was so nice knowing he was safe and happy. Close to Wimberely. We loved the hiking trails at blue hole and Purgatory. We will definitely stay again.

My family and I just stayed at Ollie’s, and it was fantastic. The lookout for Devil’s Backbone is only 5 miles away. Wimberley, Gruene, San Marcos and New Braunfels are very close. The cottage is perfect for dogs. The beds were comfy and everything was there that we needed. Lisa even checked in us to make sure we made it home OK after our stay. She was very attentive. I highly recommend Ollie’s.

Adorable Cottage in Texas Hill Country
My family LOVED this pet-friendly option at Ollie's Cottage. The owners could not be more friendly and easy to work with - great hospitality. The cottage was beautifully appointed and the beds were so COMFORTABLE. Also in the middle of a Texas heat wave, the AC kept our Coloradan family nice and cool. The porch and deck area are such a nice amenity. The setup for our furry babies was exceptional. 5-star recommendation!

Great stay and good people
We really enjoyed our stay at Ollies and it was great for our dog Quinn too. He had easy in/out access to the relief area anytime, which allowed us to do some sightseeing and visit with family. We also had a nice visit from the owners and would've liked to talk even more. The home is clean and tasteful and we'd recommend Ollies, especially if you have a dog.

Hands down the very best VRBO experience we have ever had. Jeanne, Elroy and Lisa could teach a master class on communication and hosting. I feel as though we've made some new friends. Simply wonderful stay with delightful surroundings. The home and indoor /outdoor dog kennel was perfect for our pooch. Beds were exceptionally comfortable; we're buying our next bed identical to the one in Ollie's cottage. You can't go wrong staying with Ollie's Country Cottage. Would stay again and again.

Ollie's Country Cottage, Wimberly, Tx.
We had an amazing stay at this cottage in Wimberly, Tx. The cottage was immaculate & had all the things needed to make our stay perfect. The cottage has an indoor kennel with a doggie door into a fenced run so our dog had a great stay too. The whole property is fenced with plenty of room for dogs to explore & plenty of parking. We especially enjoyed the chiminea in the chilly evenings. Communication with the owners was excellent. The cottage is just a short drive to Wimberly, San Marcos, Fredericksburg & other Hill Country sites. Even though the cottage is on a rather busy road, the fence & location of the cottage give you the feeling you are miles away from the hustle & bustle. If you are going to the Hill Country, you owe it to yourself to stay at Ollie's - you won't be disappointed.
