Wonderful experience staying at Ollie's resort. The dogs had their own pet hotel area too! The owner did great at checking in with us to make sure we arrived ok and even let us check in early at no cost. She brought over coffee filters when needed. the place was super clean and well stocked and we loved all the eclectic furniture and attention to details. If I had to recommend something I would say that additional mirrors in the bedrooms would be helpful, because there is only one bathroom and one mirror in the entire house. other than that, it was amazing and I will definitely book again.

Wonderful Host

We needed to move our TXST student into his dorm but wanted to avoid boarding our dog. This was a fantastic home. We truly enjoyed the time we were able to stay in the house. The host reached out numerous times to check on us. Also, I noticed the little things. There were plenty of towels and washcloths. There was adequate shelving in the bathroom to allow everyone to keep their stuff in the bathroom. The host left a nice note at the beginning of our stay, suggesting nearby restaurants. The dog door and run were excellent, and I felt safe. We will stay at this property again.

Best dog friendly place we’ve ever stsyed

We’ve acquired a third dog that my daughter rescued right before leaving for college. Do you know how hard it is to find a place that will take 3 dogs?! This place was very comfortable for people but truly catered to our furry friends. We were a short drive to San Marcos, Wimberly, New Braunfels. It was clean. Comfy bed and pillows. Extra blankets. Plenty of towels. I love that it was gated and completely fenced in so our dogs could just be dogs as we sat outside. There is also a kennel with access into the house and backyard via a doggie door. We didn’t use it as we just planned to take the pups everywhere with us. We’ll definitely consider this again with or without the dogs. Thank you.

We had a wonderful stay at this VRBO! The home was not only family-friendly but also pet-friendly, which was a huge plus for us. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed, and everything was set up perfectly for our needs. The beautiful and clean environment added to the overall enjoyment of our stay. It was the ideal accommodation for attending a wedding in town. Highly recommend!

Cozy Hill Country Stay

This place is private, cozy, clean, very pet friendly and centrally located to downtown New Braunfels, Wimberly, Dripping Springs and not to far from Blanco or Johnson City...all our favorite Hill Country places. If you like Breweries like we do, there is New Braunfels Brewing, Twisted X and our new favorite find, Ghost Note Brewery. And Elio's Pizzeria in Sattler has the best pizza! Chill's on the Creek on Wimberly Square for good dry rub BBq wings (pet friendly). If you are taking your dogs on a trip, consider this place. Entire place is fenced in and they have an indoor kennel that's leads to outdoor dog run, so if you want to enjoy some alone time without the fur babies you can leave them in this indoor/outdoor kennel with no worries. We will definitely be back for next year's fall trip. Don't think we could find a better place to stay with our fur babies.

Quick Trip to the Hill Country

Awesome property. It was very clean with wonderful attention to detail from the property managers. Communication was quick and check in was seamless. We stayed with our Golden Retriever who is a bit spoiled and does not travel well. She was very comfortable here. The location is great, Quiet yet still close enough to everything. Would definitely stay again.

Fantastic location and perfect for our dog loving fam

We loved loved loved this property. Less than 10 min drive to Wimberley. We ate at the Leaning Pear and Creekhouse for dinners which were our faves. Chill’s by the creek was good for lunch. Took kids to natural bridge caverns and then had lunch at the Gristmill and went to Gruene hall. Canyon lake was a fun day trip too- weather was chilly in March, would love to come back in summer. The house had everything we needed. Wi-Fi worked great. Dogs loved running in the yard and we built a fire in the chiminea almost every night. The dog run was awesome and they loved the doggy door.

Property was amazing! Great for dogs

We really enjoyed our time at Ollie’s cottage. Everything was immaculate. Great bedding and towels. Far exceeded our expectations. The dog kennel and turnout was so clean as well. Our dog came with us on most excursions, but when we went for dinner we used the kennel. It was so nice knowing he was safe and happy. Close to Wimberely. We loved the hiking trails at blue hole and Purgatory. We will definitely stay again.
