Reviewed By Robert L

Wonderfully quiet and peaceful retreat from the bustle of downtown. Close to town AND many vineyards. The room was clean and fresh and everything worked. The grounds are well kept and have a great Texas winery theme. I highly recommend these cottages for a Fredericksburg stay.

Canyon Lakeview Resort

ABOUT OUR RESORT Only Resort of it's kind in Texas Hill Country This hidden gem boasts natural outdoor settings and majestic views of Canyon Lake. Our rustic Lodge Suites and unique Lakeview Cabin rentals all have breathtaking, panoramic lake views. Our seven acres of beautiful waterfront property is on Canyon Lake which boasts 80 miles of shoreline around pristine, clear blue waters year-round. Located directly on the shoreline of Canyon Lake, there is a multitude of amenities for guests of all ages. Whether it’s for a quick getaway, special event, conference, family reunion or destination wedding, our resort is sure to impress. The Waters Canyon Lake is a very clean, large and deep spring and rain fed lake. With a blue sky, it is a magnificent aqua-marine color surrounded by evergreen Live Oaks and Mountain Cedar all year round. Private docks are not allowed, so the lake views are not spoiled by thousands of floating docks or boats on the shorelines. Looking for a Texas lake to go swimming in but aren’t a fan of murky water? Canyon Lake is among the top five reservoirs in the State of Texas with the clearest waters, according to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. Take a dive, and refresh!

Dead bugs everywhere no Manager anywhere to be found

Reviewed By E4309VXjerryf

Horrible service no return phone call from the manager, address major issues with the room. This place is not what they represent on their website. If you want to waste your money staying with partiers smoking pot in front of your kids- go for it. Btw the rooms are not clean with dead bugs everywhere. Carpet is like walking on cement no padding under the carpet and to top it off the Murphy bed is held upright by the cheap green ugly couch. Stay at the Hyatt Hill country it will be less expensive and much nicer for $500 a night. Cabins are old infested with bugs terribly outdated

Unique and Fun Place for Families!

Reviewed By Clay C

This place is awesome. If you have a family with kids this is the spot. Swimming pool, swing set and comfy cottages that are just steps away. The setting is relaxed and very Texan. Downtown Gruene is 2 minutes away if that. We can’t wait to come back. A true Texas gem

The Homestead Cottages

The Cedar Cabin was perfect!

Reviewed By Peggy R

I have always loved log cabins, but I believe this is the first authentic log cabin I have stayed in. I enjoyed the picture album describing how it was built. We were celebrating 51 years of marriage and this was perfect!! We enjoyed sipping wine around the fire pit talking about the past and the future. The hot tub was clean and private and ready for us to relax and unwind. The back deck was perfect for watching the sunsets not to mention the deer that frequently walked past. We had a light rain our first morning. The deck was a perfect place to drink our morning coffee and watch the rain. I neglected to mention we had everything we needed including coffee pot with coffee and filters. They provided dishes, pots, pans, silverware and cooking utensils. The small pantry included coffee cups, drinking glasses, wine glasses as well as salt and pepper and a few spices. Plenty of washcloths and towels for showers and visits to the hot tub, shampoo, conditioner, bath soap and hairdryer. They even provided firewood and matches for the fire pit. There was nothing we were lacking. This little Cedar Cabin was just what we were looking for. Thank you for a wonderful place to unwind and relax.

Caddo Lake Cabins

Caddo Lake Cabins has 4 quiet, comfortable guest cabins, each with its own personality and location. Choose from a quiet cabin for two at the edge of the woods, a family cabin on the water, or a bayou-side retreat, each with fully equipped kitchen, sitting porch, kitchen, and many other amenities. Slough View and Caddo Cabins are 1-bedroom cabins with the budget in mind, but with many amenities not found in larger cabins. The use of kayaks and canoes come with the Slough View, Caddo Cabin and Cypress View Cabin, as they are located on a quiet part of the lake adjacent to a Texas Parks and Wildlife Paddling Trail. Heart's Cottage on the Bayou is on deeper water, great for fishing or boating in any season. All have screened-in porches, fire pits for campfires, outside barbecues, and outdoor seating to enjoy the beauty of Caddo.

I hesitate to write a review because it is already hard enough to get a reservation, but I have to say that the Cypress View Cabin is perfect in every way. Thank you Patti and Jay, we had a great time.

Home Away from Home

Reviewed By wendyo491

Our three week stay at Hancock Ranch was a wonderful experience. We were looking for comfort, a central location and room to entertain our grandchildren and friends. Oh ... and also to be able to work remotely in an enjoyable space. It more than delivered all of these amenities in the lovely neighborhood of Allendale. One big plus was that you could walk to stores , great restaurants and the neighborheood had miles of walking and biking trails. The interior of HR was spacious, bright and updated with a fully outfitted kitchen, wood floors and very comortable beds. Rachel was so helpful and friendly. We look forward to staying here again or at naother Hancock property.

These cabins are clean and cozy. Excellent beds and salt-water pool! This location is ideal for groups and families that want cabins near each other. We felt safe and really enjoyed the gorgeous pool. So close to the river and Blue Hole as well!
