Nice but brief stay.
Our stay was nice, but brief (18 hrs). The property was nice and well appointed. Our dinner on the balcony, with lake and sunset views, was the highlight of the trip.

The rental was very accommodating for us. We were visiting to do some shopping at Wimberley trade days and the location was perfect. Just a short drive and we were there. Actually, we were close to everything we wanted to visit while we were there. The bed was comfy and everything was clean.

The baecation
So my fiancé and I came to the area to meet friends for a tuning experience and this was the cutest apartment ever! Directions to the place were a little difficult but reading other reviews was def helpful. When you get to the eagle and sunset view intersection turn left toward the deadend sign. The white gate is hidden behind a bush in the circle at the end on the right! We loved the amenities and the basket in the fridge was a sweet touch! The view from the balcony was just as pictured! What a perfect hideaway. We plan to book again for next year

GREAT,,,GREAT,,,GREAT,,,place to relax......
Me and my wife are newlyweds and decided to give a try to this place and what we found was much more awesome than we had expected about our staying. Besides the first time searching for the place cos the directions and GPS dont agree with the address, ,(SHOULD GIVE BETTER AND EASIER DIRECTIONS to find the house from Rt 32 coming from San Marcos TX,,,on Rt 32 west,, take a left on Eagles Peak dr and next left on Sunset View and at the end of road the house gate its on the right kind of hidden with a brown sign (BLESSING PL),,,that is the driveway to the house, once we found the house we fell in love with the house when we opened the door and went upstairs.... Finally the photos you see on the listing are the true photos of the place,,,NO SURPRISES...Excellent kitchen, with everything we needed to cook,,, and saved a lot of $$$$$$ buying groceries at Wal-Mart in San Marcos TX,,, Lovely and cozy room to sleep, But going out to the balcony THATS WHEN I SAID,,,,WELL DONE!!!!!!,,,The view of Canyon Lake and the surrounding hills are the best of the best ....TOTALLY nature paradise to relax after a day of traveling around the area...My wife really enjoyed every morning going out to the balcony to admire the lake view and breath the hill country fresh air(that helped her to cure her Sinusitis ) and listening to the birds singing in the mornings....We are looking forward again to stay in this place in the future......DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY in hotels in this area....STAY in this house,,SAFE AND VERY LOVELY PLACE to RELAX like a real home....,YOU LL LOVE IT....

My wife and I enjoyed our weekend trip near canyon lake and we enjoyed our time at this home! Very easy check in process, thoughtful amenities through the house, and even snacks for us in the fridge. We were close enough to paddle board, float the river, and drive to visit Wimberley but also away from traffic and other people visiting the area. Definitely recommend to others!

Your decision to stay here
Did not know it was a garage apt attached to the residense, house portion left out of pic. Coffee pot was filthy suppose to be replaced, was way over due. Bed is worn out, roll to middle. Could not make electronic door lock work. Called owner 4 times, no answer. Did not answer and assumed it was fraud, we could not leave for town. Luckily I sent a text hoping for response. Property makes lots of strange noises all during the night. Renter does not appear to inspect property on a regular basis. I was not going to send this but I would have chosen another location had I known this, but the view is nice.

If his wife had read reviews, directions and comments they would of known it is a garage apt (garage not used). Coffee pot was fine and not filthy. I send them a video of it. I even offered another one to satisfy. There are two, one, One Keurig and one reg with plenty of coffee. The combo door lock worked fine. My wife went out right away since I was in the shower when called. I sent plenty of instructions and said to text back. I’ve never gotten any bad reviews and everyone has committed how great the bed is. Even the very next weekend I got a terrific review on everything she did not seem to enjoy. Not one thing was changed. A response took less than two minutes and not even a thank you in helping to dhow how to work a numerical padlock as directions were sent. The noises I checked into and nothing was discovered, the next guest replied how quite as all my other reviews. Please check my other reviews, some people won’t like you no matter how hard you try. If texted or called during the stay, they would of had any needs addressed. I aim to please and everything is left in apt. You won’t even need a toothbrush. Pics are exactly as the stay.

Disappointment
Let me start by saying the property was beautiful and clean. My issue was not with the property itself but rather the broken commitment by the property owner. Prior to renting this property we rented an Air BnB over a month out for the 4th of July weekend. Two days before we were supposed to leave I got a notification that my full refund for cancelling within the time allowed was hitting my bank. I didn't cancel that rental so I contacted that owner. He didn't know what happened but the property had already rented again but only for the 3rd, we could still have the 4th. O.K. so now I needed a place to rent for the 3rd. I found J.G's place and booked it July 1st at 12:09p.m. In the meantime the Air BnB would not let me book a single night. While working on that issue I got a message from J.G. offering us the 4th also, at a discounted rate so I took it. J.G. told me that I didn't need to go in and book the 4th they would take care of it. (I still have the messages saved) Awesome! At 10:18 p.m. July 2nd I get a message from J.G. saying that they were sorry but before they could save the 4th for us it rented but they would still honor a discounted stay at another date. So now we have been canceled on twice by 2 different places and it's to late to book another. Our romantic getaway was ruined and cut short because of failure to follow through on an offer J.G. made to me and I accepted. Had I been the property owner I would have contacted the other people and told them "I'm so sorry but it's already booked and I just haven't had time to block the date". Not cancel on the person that could have had another place booked if not for me offering the 2nd night. Also, if you plan to cook while staying there (which is likely due to covid) bring your own spices, oils etc. this is the first Air BnB or VRBO that I have stayed in that did not have any of those items in the kitchen. The balcony view of the lake would have been breathtaking for the 4th of July had we been able to stay as promised.

Shannon, I know you only booked the one night and didn't plan on the second night. By the time I offered you a second night at a discount someone had gone on the dashboard and booked before I could place your stay on VRBO> For the very reason people need to go on themselves if they want to book. Once the issue happened I placed a minimum of two days rather than booking just one night as you did, I have placed oil and a few spices in the apt. as you suggested since I only had salt, pepper, sweeteners, coffees, teas with a welcome basket. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and hope next time you book more than the one night at the beginning of your stay.

Great view
This is a one bedroom garage apartment, in a neighborhood right off of a main road with its own driveway and entrance. Super easy to get to, about 30 min from New Braunfels and 15 min from Wimberly. We only needed one thing when checking in and the owners promptly responded. The neighborhood is really quiet and the view is really fantastic from the balcony. Enjoyed having our morning coffee on the balcony watching the birds and the sun rise. Kitchen is well appointed, having the essentials for any basic meal you would like to make. Only complaint is the pillows could be replaced/upgraded. Other than that, we had a really lovely stay and I would definitely recommend this property for a simple, no fuss, weekend stay.
