Awesome!

We loved our stay at The cottages at canyon peaks! The location is top notch and easily accessible to all the fun things to do in the hill country. We had a small issue when we got to the cabin at first, but Shelly was quick to answer and find a solution. We will definitely be back.

Perfect mother/daughter get away

What a perfect place! All the decor was beautiful! The personal touches were so sweet. Pancake mix and syrup for my daughter, fresh eggs from the coop, wine and cheese for me....we had a much needed time away. Great location to many places. But so nice to retreat to this Peaceful cottage in the evening and watch the deer. Even took a little walk. We look forward to visiting again.

Excellent place to celebrate our anniversary

The property location was excellent, the property itself was beautiful and well taken care of. The cottage was like you would find in magazines. All around an excellent stay. The details put into this place far exceeded what you would find at some of the nicest of hotels. So many personal touches and thought went into these cottages. You could tell the host really appreciates their guest and want the best possible experience for them. I would definitely recommend for anyone wanting a beautiful stay in hill country. An excellent place to just get away and have a peaceful weekend but still be close enough to surrounding activities.

It was elegant and outdoorsy at the same time

With so many windows, we felt like we were outside but living in the comfort of shabby chic! Loved the window above the bed:). We had the feeling of trees in our room! Loved it!

Incredible experience!

We loved this cabin so much. The location is quiet and peaceful, yes perfectly located to get to so many neighboring areas and activities. The accommodations are so comfortable and clean, and perfectly decorated. The detail is in the small touches like wine and cheese upon arrival, extremely comfortable bedding, and even small touches like extra plugins- extensions for phone charging, etc. And did I mention there is a chicken coop with fresh eggs available?! It was so memorable and really made a perfect romantic getaway spot.

Perfect Weekend Getaway Spot

This was such a great experience. We were looking to get away for the weekend and enjoy the nearby Canyon Lake. This cottage was in the perfect location, close to a few towns that we wanted to explore. We would come back in the evening and relax on the front porch enjoying the beautiful Hill Country scenery. The hosts had everything perfect and checking in and out was a breeeze. We will definitely be back.

Cozy cottage, convenient locations, and beautiful views

My family and I stayed at the Canyon Peaks for 4th of July weekend, and it was such a great experience! Very cozy, beautiful scenery, the cottage was clean, beautifully decorated, & had everything we needed. Sherry was very nice, professional, and responsive. The location is very convenient to all major destinations, including the local store Brookshire Brothers and not far from Comal Park/Canyon Lake. We will definitely be back in the future!

Absolutely perfect

Sherry and Gary are incredible! My wife and I got married across the street at Rancho Mirando. My family and two of our friends occupied all 4 cottages with Sherry and Gary. The cottages are simply fantastic. So neat, clean, and well decorated. The location was perfect to come and go, back and forth between them and the ranch. I am already looking to plan a friends trip back up to stay at the cottages. The scenery is gorgeous and we thank you for your hospitality! See you soon!

Gorgeous hill country hide out

My husband and I stayed here the night of our wedding and the following night. We loved the quiet stillness of the entire place. The front porch is the cutest morning coffee and evening wine spot. The interior of this place is to die for! Such a neat place with so many little personal touches! This place was also extremely clean with an amazing bath tub! The hosts were easy to communicate with! We were very pleased and will be back! :)

This cottage was everything you could ask for and more in a getaway!!! Tiny but packed with everything that you need. The cheese, wine and crackers were a fantastic touch. It was clean, comfortable and cozy. We enjoyed the front porch in the evenings. Fresh eggs for breakfast was fantastic. We were already discussing our next stay and which cabin we wanted to try next! Sherry was on top of communicating with us and was quick to let us know that a lightning strike knocked out the wifi and Roku. Thank you for a great weekend!
