Onion Creek Cottage in the Heart of Texas! Lovely Sunporch! Charm meets Comfort!

Escape to Onion Creek Cottage in Manchaca, Texas! Our beautifully decorated vacation rental is perfect for families, friends or couples. Enjoy the spacious backyard and front patio where you can relax and watch wildlife. Keep an eye out for the longhorns from the nearby ranch - they might just wander over to say hello!

Centrally located between South Austin and the charming town of San Marcos. Enjoy delightful dining options in nearby South Austin and Buda, where you can savor local flavors and experience the lively atmosphere. Experience a joyful retreat that promises both relaxation and adventure.

The cottage is suitable for a weekend visit or a 6 month stay with a fully equipped kitchen and beautiful furnishings. Imagine sipping a glass of wine on our lovely Sunporch. It is the perfect place to unwind after a day of adventure.

The master bedroom has a queen sized bed while the second bedroom has 2 twins. The sunroom has a queen sofa sleeper. It has a beautiful full sized fully equipped kitchen and breakfast table, a laundry room and a comfortable outside patio with a table where 6-8 can dine and a BBQ pit and smoker! There is a TV in the master and the sunroom, and there is also wireless internet.

Our home is located on the same 6 acre property so if you need anything we are close! The other vacation rental on this average is Bear Creek Cottage. It sleeps 4 people. All of the properties are within walking distance of each other but none are visible to one another.

Nearby to Austin festivals and F1 Circuit of the Americas track. We are located between two wedding venues: The Wild Onion Ranch and Humming Bird House. Two miles from the Vineyard at Chappel Hill. Located 15 minutes from downtown Austin, and 45 minutes from San Antonio, this property makes it convenient to visit surrounding Hill Country and towns such as Buda, Kyle, Wimberly, New Braunfels, Gruene, San Marcos, Dripping Springs and Driftwood. Perfect location to maximize your experience by being near Austin's museums, restaurants, music venues and nightlife as well as spending time in the countryside tubing, swimming, kayaking, hiking, fishing, etc. We are near the Onion Creek Country Club, a 5 minutes from Cabela’s.

Parking is in front of the cottage only. We can accommodate 3 cars - give us a call if you need more parking. We do not allow events but a dinner gathering for 6-8 people is fine.

We can't wait to welcome you to Onion Creek Cottage - your home away from home!

Perfect Family Spot

This stay is so cheery with all the touches, floral designs, very comfortable beds, and a wonderful sunroom with a TV where the entire family can comfortably gather to watch a movie. It has the coolest vintage stove/range/oven ever, and it works great. My grandsons want me to stay here every time I come back!

Home away from hone

We had a lovely stay at Onion Creek Cottage. Waking up to longhorns at the fence, made for awesome coffee mornings. The property was so quaint, with cozy and comfortable furnishings, and the hosts made it clear to let them know if we needed anything. I’ll definitely stay again when I come back to town.

A small group of us stayed here to use as a home base for the MotoGP races. My wife and daughter explored Austin while the rest of us went to the races. The house was perfect, good location, very pretty property. Close enough to be convenient, but far enough away so you weren't in the city. Everything was comfortable and exceptionally clean. The hosts were outstanding, very good communication with them. Check in/out process was great too, very easy. Would definitely stay here again!

Simply Perfect...

My family and I absolutely loved staying at Onion Creek Cottage. It was just around the corner from where my cousin was getting married, so the location was perfect. The house itself slept the six of us quite comfortably and we enjoyed breakfast together each morning in the sweet kitchen. The owner has put a lot of heart into this well-kept, charming home. It was spotless and in a great location. She was so accommodating to our requests and prompt in responding to our questions. We will definitely stay here again.
