My wife and I live in Grapevine, Texas, and wanted a long weekend getaway. We rented the cedar…read morecabin and absolutely loved it. There are very few things as peaceful as sitting in a jacuzzi and watching the wildlife walk and fly by. No sounds of cars. No airplanes overhead. No "hustle and bustle." Just peace. The cabin itself was pretty cool. There's a binder with photos documenting its construction sitting on the kitchen table. The layout made sense. It's nice to be able to cook your own meals if you want. There are some restaurants just a few miles from the cabin if you'd rather do that. If you want a nice hearty breakfast, you have to check out Granny D's. The shower and fireplace were both a lot of fun. The rain on our first day there made it a bit difficult to get a fire going, but we finally managed to start it. The replica Franklin stove in the bedroom was useful. The way that the windows are fitted to the house lets a bit of a draft in, and they rattle a bit when the wind is blowing hard, but that's part of the charm of the place. Another cool place to check out while you're there is the Natural Bridge Caverns. Lots of fun, as we both like long walks and hiking-type activities. There is one recommendation that I would make to the owners of the cabin. Re-grade the driveway/ramp down to the cedar cabin. The sharp drop at the bottom all but guarantees that you're going to scrape your vehicle's undercarriage unless you're driving a pickup or SUV. If you are driving a sedan, you'll want to park at the top of the driveway and walk down the hill to the front door. We were crawling down the driveway at less than 1 mph and still managed to scrape the under-body paneling of the car on our first day there. That sucked. We parked up top (see photos) for the rest of our stay. All of that said, the cabin was exactly what we were looking for in a relaxing hill country getaway. I've recommended it to many of my friends and colleagues in the past few weeks since we got back to Grapevine. You should absolutely check it out and at least give it some consideration if you're looking for a getaway that's a bit different than the typical downtown hotel or beach resort scene. 8/10 Would survive the zombie apocalypse there.

You would think staying in a tiny house wouldn't be that great. I'm sorry, but this may be one…read moreinstance where bigger isn't necessarily better (that's what she said?) Nestled in the hill country just a stones throw away from Canyon Lake and all the awesomeness that the Hill Country has to offer are the Homestead Cottages. There are three cottages: A cedar cabin, a regular cottage, and a Tiny Texas House. We stayed at the Tiny Texas House and loved it. The location itself is great. It's close to New Braunfels but even closer to Canyon Lake. It is perfect for day trips into the surrounding hill country, which is exactly what we used it for. We tripped to Boerne and Bandera from the location and the drive was beautiful. Tough to beat. The amenities at the Tiny Texas House were nice as well. There is a Tiny Texas Kitchen with a Tiny Texas Induction Oven (you know, the magnet thingie to heat stuff up with). There was also a flat-screen TV with sattelite TV, bath robes, and a coffee maker. Most of the comforts of home. I had only a couple of negatives about the TTT: (a) the size of the sink made it difficult to wash dishes and there was no dish soap; (b) the air conditioner wasn't quite strong enough to cool down the lofted bed; (c) there were some unknown hairs on the bed sheet so we were uncertain whether the sheets had been washed before we arrived; and (d) the fridge smelled a little musty. These were small issues, though, and didn't diminish our enjoyment that much. Aside from the location, a few things stand out for me. First, I loved that the TTT had a little enclosed garden surrounding an above-ground jacuzzi. If we were so inclined, there was plenty of mint to make enough mojitos for a party of 20. The jacuzzi was secluded, too, both by the trees lining the street and a wall filling in the space where the trees were. I also really liked the idea of a lofted bed. It was like getting up into my lofted bed I had in college, except fancier. All in all, if you're wanting a hill country escape with your significant other, you can do much worse than staying in one of the Homestead Cottages in Canyon Lake: unique, charming, and cozy.

The home is spacious and sits on a hilltop. It has all the amenities a family or couple could need: gas grill outside, plenty of cooking utensils, a working ice maker, and washer and dryer. Whether you enjoy your coffee at sunrise, or gazing at the stars, the best spot in the yard is the hefty wooden swing set. There is also, plenty of lawn furniture, including a slide and swing set for kids. We wanted to play horseshoes- but we ran out of time. Becky the owner, is one of the most genuine and friendliest people I have ever met. She was wonderful and accommodating to our needs, and respectful of our privacy. Our absolute favorite surprise of the visit, was the hand-delivered eggs to our door-step. If this retreat becomes too popular, then Becky might have to acquire more chickens to meet the demand! LOL. The retreat is less than a mile from Canyon Lake, and about 18 miles from Gruene, Texas. Plenty of spots in between to tube down the river. We also went to Schlitterbahn water park, only 20 miles away, in New Braunfels, also close by. We chose this property because if its seclusion away from the rowdy rafter scene, yet near enough it to participate when desired. If you have wireless internet access, then you can yelp to your hearts content...no worries there. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return..

First the pros: - My…read moreemails were answered promptly. - Check-in was a breeze. - Host supplied all the necessities, even if you forgot something, i.e., shampoo, razor, dog bowls, a few condiments, even s'more fixins, to name a few. - Outside was clean and relaxing. We made a fire (wood and firestarters were supplied). Now the cons: - Even though cabin is considered pet friendly, the pit bull across the street was aggressive when you walked by and he is behind a fence that is broken and he could easily get out. Going by the pit bull is your only choice, as the other direction is a private driveway. My husband feared for my safety so I could not walk my dogs. When I addressed the concern to the Host she said the neighbors just moved in 2 weeks ago and have cameras and would check it out, like she didn't believe me. I missed my twice daily walks. - pans were old with coating scraped off so I had to go and buy one. - coffee pot needs to be cleaned. Literally took half hour to brew a cup of coffee. - mattress in master was so soft it sunk in the middle and I woke up with back pain. My husband flipped the pillow top mattress and it was much better. My husband was called away the day before check-out on an emergency so I was unable to flip mattress back. Host sent me a nasty note about this. - Ceiling in master bedroom broken. When you shut door it gets extremely warm. - Cable only has local channels. Every time you clicked on a channel it said not purchased. - Bathtub wall is cracked. I used ledge to get out of tub and wall started coming down. In need of repair.
