The cabin is small but just perfect for a couple's getaway. Was very clean and check in and out was easy. We did have an issue with the hot tub but I contacted the owner and they helped us right away.
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
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!!
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.
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.
i do not typically stay in places that are seemingly in the middle of nowhere but i would do it again and again at this property. it was cozy, the property management was so helpful when it came to operating the jacuzzi. THE VIEW was my favorite part!!!
Absolutely amazing!!!!
The views are so amazing. The house is just perfect for two people to get away from it all with complete privacy. Will definitely be back. Just a couple of things need attention. Only one control works on the hot tub works. Instructions would be nice to show how to heat it up. Also ceiling fans in the living room need to be replaced. One does not work and the other only works in reverse only. Other than that the place was awesome. Oh.. we had a grey fox visit nightly.
Quaint and subtle explodes into a view of serenity. Copious kitchen amenities ensures everything youd like to cook is possible. A/C can freeze you if you arent judicious with its use. Ample couch space to enjoy the football game is afforded. Be careful to wear shoes as some nails on the decking can peirce your feet. The hot tub is soothing and sufficient. It is a private space with an observation deck above the treeline so bring your telescope. Wimberly is 12 minutes away. Sunsets are majestic here and we are blessed to have stayed.
Property was great and exactly as described in Vrbo. Enjoyed star gazing sitting in the hot tub. Would definitely return to this location.
Place was perfect for a little weekend getaway. It was very clean and had everything we needed.
We LOVED the cabin, it was super cute & clean! The beds & couches are very clean & comfy! Beautiful view & hammock on the top deck to enjoy the view! My favorite part was the bed & the deck! Highly recommended cabin. Me & my husband plan on rented again our next vaca!
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.
Place wasn’t clean at all. Chips on floor and on counter. Killed a scorpion right next to the bed on 1st floor. We left a day early no one wanted to stay there another day. Views were very nice but overall a terrible experience.
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.
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.
