Very relaxing and peaceful stay.

Booked here because I saw it was close to Blue Hole and it had a pool and I cannot stress how happy I was with that decision. Wanted an intimate relaxing retreat with my friends this year and this was perfect. The view was beautiful and although there are other structures on the property it felt like we were the only ones there. Very quiet and relaxing. The pool was also great to have in the Texas heat. The pictures do not do it justice.

First, the best things were that the bed and pillows were updated and comfortable and the views from the deck were amazing! We had nice, shaded evenings with a good breeze.
The kitchen was reasonably stocked with pots, pans, and cooking utensils. There were plenty of cups, bowls, plates, but only limited silverware. However, as mentioned in a previous review, the freezer only worked sporadically and would not hold ice.
I went back to check the listing and it does say it in a description of the photo, but ALL of the bedrooms are located up a TINY SPIRAL stone staircase. For our group, that was difficult.
While we enjoyed ourselves, we were very dissatisfied in the condition of the pool deck lounge chairs and the chairs around the fire pit. It honestly would have been better to have an open area where you expected to bring your own chairs, as the majority were unsafe for use. I am going to guess that the pictures are in the about 5 years old.
The gas grill was basically unusable and we had to go buy charcoal for the other grill…which worked great, but the listing mentioned propane.
By 2-1/2 days in the house seemed to cool better after we contacted the host and got permission to turn down the thermostat. During these hot times, I would hope the cleaners would turn on the A/C when they leave in preparation for the next guests instead of letting the house get to well over 80. Unloading and our first day were miserably hot...you should bring extra fans!

My kids LOVED this cabin.
It was perfect. So cozy and unique. My four boys ages 15, 13, 13 and 11 explored and yet NEVER finished finding cool things to show one another.
The house was spotless. Everyone had enough space. Big kitchen table for long family game nights. Only down fall was the freezer was on the fritz.
Firepit was amazing !!!! And veiw...breathtaking!!
One thing I didn't like was in the description it makes it sound as if you have a private pool with the cabin. " private firefit and pool". You don't. There is a shared pool with a cabin a few yards away. No one was renting when we were there so it wasnt an issue.
All in all... we will return !!!

Five of us stayed at the house. We took walks in the morning and sat out on the back porch and enjoyed the view! The house is in a great area! The only thing we wished we would have had were wash cloths. Another towel per person would have been nice.
The pool was fun!
We will be back!

A severe storm came through Thursday night before of Friday check-in. I dont know if that caused all the floors to be dirty, but it is very possible that it did.
There were only 6 bath towels and no wash cloths in the entire house.
Other than that it is a beautiful home in a beautiful location. We enjoyed our stay!

Came here for a weekend getaway with my grandparents. The hill country views were immaculate and the cabin itself was homey and had everything we needed to make it a relaxing weekend.

Adult children and grands loved the location and the quirky charm of the cabin. The Senior family members faced several challenges including all bedrooms upstairs by way of difficult spiral stone stairway, and the lack of hand holds in the bathtub/showers.

Oh my god. I'm not the type of person to leave reviews, but this was an absolutely incredible stay. We were 9 adults and a small dog and there was plenty of (comfortable!) space for all of us, the cabin itself is SO beautiful and fun, and the views from the deck had us absolutely gobsmacked. (I'm so serious, those hills will take your breath away) The location is great, too— the local shopping center is super close and we were able to pop out whenever we needed with no problems. Carrie answered promptly when we had questions before our stay and made sure we had all the information we needed for our weekend to go smoothly. It was everything we could've possibly asked for and everyone had an absolutely amazing time!

We loved this place! We planned this for my husbands birthday weekend. We loved the pool, views, and it’s 5 minutes from one of the coolest natural springs Blue Hole. Totally worth the price.

Beautiful property with an outstanding view. The rustic house was as advertised throughout and made for a very nice stay.
6.0
definitely relaxing, but don't go expecting a lot of commonplace creature comforts. Despite info in the listing, there was no working gas grill on the property (the one in the side yard dilapidated & rusted through); after day one, we managed with charcoal. Furniture is charming, antique but also heavily worn and uncomfortable. Our IT-whiz son brought his ROKU and so was able to get the TV into hi-def mode (incidentally, the Wifi was better than anticipated), and so we were able to watch the Longhorns and Cowboys without going blind. We've stayed here before and would definitely go back, but at this price point it seems like some basics really need to be addressed.

The location is spectacular, the landscape and tranquility are unmatched by other places, the rooms are well sized and comfortable, the pool is excellent but it would be convenient to install a bathroom in the pool area. The time of entry and exit could be more flexible, the price was very good. Overall an amazing vacation!! I hope to return!!

Dangerous
The stairs were unsafe for children and elderly. Water temperature was never warm. Firewood was lying in the yard and was wet as we gathered it. We had to put it inside to dry before using it. The funiture was uncomfortable. The photos on the website were misleading. screens were torn and holes were in the doors.

Canyon View
Everything was fantastic, the view was gorgeous. We enjoyed the pool in the evenings. The rooms were set up perfectly for our group. Mornings and nights on the deck were perfect, there was always a nice breeze, in fact it even got a little chilly, and it was the end of July, so that was a nice surprise. We didn't cook a lot, only breakfast one morning, but there were plenty of cooking supplies. We had neighbors in the small house and it was not a problem, we rarely saw them.

Good, Gorgeous View, but a Little Over-Advertised
The good: gorgeous patio view, pretty setting in general, and close to downtown. Owner/host had clearly put a lot of thought into details, from the instructions before arriving to having a functional kitchen with silverware, cooking spray, grill tools, coffee, and extras like a vitamix (I think) and French press option. Rooms also had the sheets, pillows, and comforters they needed, as well as towels and wash cloths. Outdoor areas were set up thoughtfully, and pool area was safely gated and neatly maintained. Bathrooms were as spacious as they needed to be but very dimly lit.
Where the property felt a little over-advertised to me was on price (even for a holiday weekend) was it’s AC. Had there not been a rainstorm when we visited Memorial Day weekend, the heat would’ve been miserable, as AC can’t be turned above 73 degrees. One night it was a little warm but still sleepable for all. The other area in which it felt overpriced a good me was the bed quality. I tried 4 of the 7 queen or king sized beds. Of the ones I tried, the king was so hard it was unsleepable. And of the other queens, one was almost as hard and the other was okay but sagged to the middle. The layout of the house was a bit given its layout for the number of beds. 8 beds were in 3 rooms. This in and of itself was okay, but all beds were upstairs and accessed by an extremely tight and treacherous stone spiral staircase. To the host’s credit, two dog/kid gates were provided downstairs, but these still only would sit against the stairwell opening, and we policed a no stairs rule (nervously) for all three kids aged 2-5. You’d have to see the stairs and walking to get a feel for how nervous they would make even the adults. Basically, for this price point I would expect real AC for Texas, better beds, safe stairs, and sufficiently bright lighting throughout the home (very dim). I also did not expect to share the pool with another home (across the driveway) for this price point. Although the property is advertised as being on 4 1/2 acres, this doesn’t account for a great deal of the property being extremely steep and rocky and tricky to traverse if you want to explore more than about an acre or so. Didn’t see peacock.
The perks were the proximity to downtown Wimberley and the beautiful views from the patio. We enjoyed our stay overall but would look for a different place next time due to the AC situation, beds, and most of all the price point for what you get.

Great Stay
We all really enjoyed the house. If you read some of the prior reviews you found out a few things that others might not have appreciated so let’s touch on some. The house is older with older furnishings yes but it was very clean. Does it need a few updates, yes it could probably use some. The wood floors are squeaky and there isn’t any insulation so you can hear what goes on from room to room and floor to floor. Didn’t bother us at all. It has everything you need in the kitchen, very well stocked. The bedrooms were large with multiple beds. All bedrooms are upstairs and only what I would consider the master had an en-suite. The other two bedrooms shared a bathroom but there is a third full bath on first floor. I can speak for the master because that’s where we slept and although it’s a king bed the mattress was pretty firm so if you don’t like a firm bed, pick another room. The views were amazing. We enjoyed the fire pit and the piece and quiet on the decks. We had neighbors but it worked out well. The owner has gone out of the way to provide what you need for a great visit. Yes the house is older but it’s clean and homey and we would definitely stay again.

We rented for a small family get together and the location to the town was great and the stars at night beautiful. However, overall we were underwhelmed. A+ to the photographer...The house and it's contents need refreshing. Sound very clearly travels through the walls and floors. The two living rooms seemed like a good thing from photos but both were fairly small and the furniture worn. The lighting in the whole house is very dim. They have tried to solve that with multiple lamps - I think there were 4 in the kitchen alone. The stone stairs were expected from reviews/pics but are steep.The bedroom with 3 beds we found to all be uncomfortable. The only TV that worked was the living room. One TV upstairs wasn't even near an outlet to plug and the other had about 5 antennae channels that were scrambled. The kitchen cooking/sink area is tight if you plan to cook in as we did rather than order or go out. 2 average size adults, max. It is stocked with the cooking/baking necessities but most couple use replacing.The other house on the property is also much closer than we expected and had a lot of random rubbish in the yard. We had no issue or interaction with the occupants, it was just very close. There was a burn ban so we did not get to enjoy the firepit.Correspondence with the owner was easy through the app and we had no issues with instructions or procedures.

Excellent family trip!
Property was perfect for outdoor family outing! Plenty of sleeping space, large tables for games and meals, and rustic appearance, perfect for "camping." There were grills, fireplaces and great memories created by the fire pit that had plenty of wood on the property. Highly recommend!

Great place!
We stayed for s 3-day weekend for a wedding. Carrie was great to deal with and very easy to communicate with. We had a fun time hanging out by the pool and cooking together. The view is FANTASTIC!
The only things you should be aware of is the cabin is really “creaky”, so all in the house are aware if you walk around and also bring a fan if you stay in the heat of the summer - we had read a prior review, and we’re glad we brought them!
The only “nits” we had was the pool deck needs repair (owner is aware), and the stair rail out of the pool seemed unsafe. Also, when we arrived the cleanup crew had missed the outdoor ashtrays and cigarette butts that the previous guests had so rudely put between the wood planks in the deck and the pool deck. (Joys of owning a rental home, I guess). Carrie was sweet about it when I warned her and apologetic!
Otherwise, I would recommend to owner that is the house sleeps X number of people, the renter should be able to have up to that for their rental price. We felt a bit nickel and dimes. We were also told that if anyone stepped foot on the property outside our number, we’d be charged- even if they didn’t stay. That was a new and unusual policy we’d not run into before. Please, just needs to be clarified up front before commitment to renting.
Thank you for the use of your home and we loved the extra touch of Petey, the peacock!❤️

Great Location
This review is an overall consensus from my family, there were 6 of us. The views are great and the location is great. It's nice and private with a beautiful peacock that lives on the property named Pety. We felt that the house overall needs some TLC. The staircase in the house is stone and we had 2 2 year olds with us, which posed a problem several times as the steps are a bit dangerous. You can hear everything from bottom floor to top floor so if you stay with noisy people you're not going to sleep well. The coffeemaker took forever to make coffee, 30 minutes for 8 cups, to be exact. This became a source of amusement for my family. So if you are a "I want my coffee now" person you may want to bring your own maker. We also used the dishes and pots and pans but they had to be cleaned because the inside of the cabinets were a bit dirty. As a family we had a great time in the area since there's a lot to do and this property isn't too far from things.

River Weekend with Friends and Family
We had a wonderful weekend staying at the property. The pool area was nice and we shared it with the group that was staying at the smaller 4 person place. The house is very private and enjoyable with the great view and private decks. I recommend bringing a couple of extra fans for sleeping if you are going in the middle of summer like we did because it is a log cabin. The A/C was working well but the extra fans we brought made it perfect.
Short distance to the grocery and downtown Wimberly makes it a great option to visit the town. Uber's and Lyfys are easily accessible as well.
