Amazing place!!

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!

Family Getaway

We enjoyed our stay at this property. My children were entertained with all the games upstairs and my husband and I had some peaceful relaxation on the porch enjoying nature and the many deer roaming the neighborhood. We found in the kitchen everything we needed for cooking meals as well. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a place to getaway for quality family time and some rest and relaxation.

Great house!

This was a perfect house for our family! My kids loved playing all the games, especially the arcade games. We also loved feeding the deer every morning and evening. The house was super clean and had everything we needed. Very peaceful and quiet. It was a perfect little getaway for a few days. My kids are already begging to go back.

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.

Great Stay w our boys & dog

Such a cute little house! All was perfect for our stay! We had 2 boys 9 & 13 and they loved the upstairs game room! BEST part was the deer corn they left us to feed the deer all day long!! We brought our dog too & he enjoyed being at the house. Great spot & nice driving distance to Cypress Falls Swimming Hole, hiking at Canyon Lake Gorge & Overlook, Gruene Hall and Natural Bridge Cavern Will recommend to other friends. Thank you!

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.

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!

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.

Still Daydreaming of Deer!

We had an amazing stay at this cottage, the upstairs game room kept the kids busy playing together after long days of swimming in nearby rivers. Great location with all of the attractions you could ask for within a 30 minute drive if visiting nearby cities! Also always had 3-10 deer in the backyard at all times, and several grey foxes as well (which I had never seen in person before). So cute!

Hill Country Trip

We loved this cottage. Check in was super easy and everything was as indicated online. When the deer corn bucket had been knocked over by animals over night, the owner was prompt in providing a solution so we could enjoy feeding the deer the very next day. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking pots, pans, and utensils. We enjoyed the front porch, walking down the street, wildlife, and all the indoor games - shuffleboard, foosball, board games and video games. A very nice place for our family.

Austin is an amazing host who definitely understands what he’s doing and how to check-in and treat a guest! We had an amazing stay and we were in communication as needed. As for the home, it’s in the perfect location and has all the amenities we needed. The host really thought of everything when it comes to hosting people at his home. We will definitely be coming back and this home is worth a lot more than what we paid for per night. Thanks Austin!

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.
