This was the most extraordinary stay. Ollie’s cottage was immaculate, cute, and expertly designed and built for a safe and fun stay with your dog. Parking is almost unlimited, check in super easy and communication with host couldn’t be beat. Hard to believe that a cottage that welcomes dogs has no dog odor at all!!! So many fun things to do within very short driving distance: Wimberly, New Braunfels, Fredericksburg, etc. New Braunfels had one of the best off leash dog parks I have ever been to: Puppy Playland. We will DEFINITELY be coming back.

Ollie's Cottage was wonderful VERY dog friendly!

Ollie's Cottage was wonderful and on beautiful property. The owners were awesome, we couldn't get out of the cottage one morning because of the heavy rains in Wimberly and they brought us a fabulous lunch, so thoughtful. It is a perfect getaway especially if you want to have your pet with you. Plenty of room for the dog to roam around outside in a fenced in yard.

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.

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.

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.

Hands down the very best VRBO experience we have ever had. Jeanne, Elroy and Lisa could teach a master class on communication and hosting. I feel as though we've made some new friends. Simply wonderful stay with delightful surroundings. The home and indoor /outdoor dog kennel was perfect for our pooch. Beds were exceptionally comfortable; we're buying our next bed identical to the one in Ollie's cottage. You can't go wrong staying with Ollie's Country Cottage. Would stay again and again.
