A Month on the Comal

Review Submitted: January 12, 2011 Date of Stay: November 2010
We usually rent a house somewhere in Italy, Spain, France or England for a month at a time. This year we decided to drive, not fly, and headed for the Texas Hill Country. If you have not visited the area, we recommend it. The little cabin is charming and well positioned on the beautiful Comal River. What a treat.
We will remember this month as being one of our best ever, and our hosts, Janie and Allen were gracious and helpful. Highly recommended.
I especially enjoyed her yoga classes.

Sisters Weekend

Review Submitted: June 12, 2010 Date of Stay: May 2010
We celebrated my sisters 50th birthday at this cabin. This pictures did not do it justice. The grounds were absolutely beautiful, right on the Comal, with everything we could possibly need all provided from kayaks, tubes, chairs, etc. It was a very peaceful, quite setting and we were able to kayak down the Comal and experience breathtaking views. The cabin was awesome, with every amenity we could think of. Our host was very gracious and thought of every detail to make our trip a memorable success. She recommended resturants, and fun things to do in the area. This property could not get any better. I highly recommend it to those wanting a relaxing get-away in a georgous setting. We can't wait to go back.

Private Getaway

Review Submitted: May 11, 2010 Date of Stay: May 2010
The photos on the website don't tell the whole picture of this beautiful setting on a private stretch of the Comal River. The 80-year old cabin is completely modern and comfortable, although not much natural light penetrates the windows.

The cabin includes a screened in porch, and then five different patio areas on three levels of flagstone down to the river. A canoe, two river kayaks, and river inner tubes are provided. Although the owners live on site (in a beautiful Tuscan house built enclosing the cabin, there is complete visual privacy.

We spent all of our three days there on the patios, reading, talking, and enjoying the beautiful surroundings. Janie provided all the necessities for our stay. All we brought was food.

It was much more than I expected in terms of beauty and privacy. I highly recommend it. My only warning is that the steps to the various patios and to the river could be difficult for someone not stable on their feet.

Owner's Response: The guest who entered this comment were the most delightful visitors and very characteristic of our regulars. We are grateful for their generous comments. Janie

Amazing short vacation!

Review Submitted: April 21, 2010 Date of Stay: April 2010
We can't say enough good things about this property, the pictures just do not do it justice! It felt like we were in Italy with all the beautiful landscaping and stone entrance and patios and italian cypresses lining the drive. Janie is an amazing host she made sure to be there when we arrived to show us around. All the restaurants she recommended were very good and close by - love those apple streudels at Naegelins Bakery! The cabin was very clean with plenty of toiletries and towels. We took the canoe out a couple of times and the water was so calm and very clear with lots of big bass and tilapia to see and every now and then we would see deer running in the trees on the banks. This property is very close to shopping and restaurants and the drive to Fredericksburg was an easy and pretty one. We had such a great time during our short stay and we can't wait to return - highly recommend!

Owner's Response: We are always happy to hear when our guests have had an outstanding time here. Weekends are so valuable in this busy world, we hope our place can be the perfect get-a-way where the water is cool, the grill is hot and the weather is right.

Comal Cottage

Review Submitted: February 23, 2010 Date of Stay: February 2010
My wife and i stayed for the valentines weekend and we loved the place. The owners are wonderful and and the cottage makes you feel at home the minute you walk threw the door. We have 4 kids ages 8 to 18 and two days here was what we needed wish we could have stayed a week. The canoe you take from your own private landing is wonderful. We will be back many times.
