My wife and absolutely loved our stay. It was wonderful to get away from the busyness of life and slow down for a couple days. We loved the location, secluded yet close to things to do. We would stay there again!

Great place
My friend and I rented the house for a long weekend away and it was perfect. The views were great and it was a great place to reset and recharge. It was only a 15 minute drive to Wimberley where we spent most of our time.

What a breathtaking view❤️
Thank you for sharing your home, the pictures do not do the spectacular view justice😍 My only suggestion would be to hire another cleaning company, or don’t charge such a high rate for a service that was not done.

Perfect Peaceful Get-Away
This is exactly what we (my wife and I) needed: peace, no rooftops, no neighbors, very little to no noise, greenery, natural landscape, and a perfectly cozy, comfy, country interior that met all of our needs. We'll be back very soon, I hope.

Some updates are needed
The view was amazing! It was cozy and relaxing. The hot tub is very old and no longer had markings for any of the dials and buttons. We tried to use it but we only figured out how to turn the jets on, it never got hot so we werent able to enjoy it. Also, the stove was outdated and the markings for the oven were no longer there so we had to guess for anything we cooked. Other than those things we enjoyed our stay.

Awesome weekend getaway!
I booked this trip for my boyfriend’s birthday. We had an amazing time!! Everything at this cabin was great!!! Great customer service from the rental agency. Just be prepared to be in the country, the road isn’t paved and it’s bouncy. But the cabin is worth it!! Highly recommend!!

Beautiful Sunsets
Beautiful sunsets in Hill Country. Close to the charming town of Wimberly. We enjoyed the hot tub and watching movies with our kids. The oven is old and the knobs don't work properly, but that's our only complaint.

Clean cabin with an incredible view!
You are paying for the view and it's an awesome view! Close to Wimberly which is nice. The house was very clean which we loved but definitely is not luxurious. If we rented again, we would bring a couple camp chairs because the wooden chairs on the deck were uncomfortable.

Quiet secluded escape in the Texas Hill Country
Wonderful cabin in hills located 15 minutes from the town of Wimberley. After a day of tubing on the Guadalupe the kiddos enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub. I personally loved watching the sunset agaisnt the hills from the second story deck. A/C kept us cool in the Texas summer with surprisingly good wifi for such a secluded area.

Older cabin
It is an older cabin with very squeaky floors, nice view excpet it was horribly cloudy the whole time we were there. Hot tub was hard to figure out but we got it to work. The only bathroom is downstairs from the master and the stairs are steep. It was a nice quiet anniversary weekend for us for sure. Also its down a 3 mile dirt road which is very bumpy

Peaceful Getaway
We really enjoyed our stay at this cabin. The view was far beyond what we expected from the pics. The cabin is secluded enough to be very peaceful, yet close enough to “town” for a grocery run. It’s within 30-60 minutes of the river walk, the caverns, and many maintained hiking trails at the college facilities in San Marcos. We would highly recommend this cabin, and we will book again. It’s a classic rustic cabin with some modern conveniences. We had no problem with phone service or internet interruptions.

Secluded Romantic Getaway
The cabin is very private, secluded, and peaceful. It is about 1.4 miles down a gravel road that is not suitable for sports cars but everything else should be just fine. The view from the cabin’s two balconies is exceptional. The hot tub was very clean and relaxing. The cabin itself has a rustic feel but is in very good condition and very tastefully decorated. There is a beautiful heating stove in the living room set on a stone base so watch your toes. The location is very convenient to Wimberley, Gruene, and San Marcos and the area is very scenic. We would definitely recommend this cabin for a romantic getaway.
