We had a great stay. The property was well maintained and located in a nice hill country setting. The owner also went out of their way to make us feel welcomed. Being very pet friendly was also a big plus. We would definitely go back.

Perfect!!

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!

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.

Absolutely accurate descriptions and reviews for this property! It is a gem!! We travelled with 2 dogs, and they were enclosed safely in both the front and back of the property when they were outside. They house is clean, adorable, and very quiet.

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.

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.

T.H.E. Best!

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.

More than we expected~

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property! There were so many details that made our stay enjoyable. From the moment we walked up to the front door, we felt so welomed. There were chairs, side tables and a chiminea set up that was so inviting. Upon entering the house, we were amazed at how comfortable and welcoming we felt. Including our fur baby. Everything was set up to be comfortable and relaxing which was just what we needed. Thank you.

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.

Cozy & Comfortable for Humans and Pets

This cottage worked very well for our 11 day stay. I like the size - even though there were only 2 of us and our dog, it was nice to have the extra space which the dining room and extra bedroom provided. The cottage is very comfortably appointed. It was great to be able to let our dog out to roam the fenced front yard as well. Our phone service is Verizon and it worked fairly well and provided mobile hot-spot Internet connectivity pretty consistently. But, it did impact our data plan, so that's something to be aware of. I definitely recommend this property for those staying in the Texas Hill Country.

Weekend at the Cottage

The property was very well maintained. The cottage was very well done and comfortable. We especially liked the dog crate / dog door set up. One of the dogs had an issue with doing his business on the pebbles, but eventually came around. The description did not say anything about no grass on the property. There really is not a good place to walk the dogs except on the highway. But overall it was a great and relaxing experience.

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.

Ollie's Country Cottage, Wimberly, Tx.

We had an amazing stay at this cottage in Wimberly, Tx. The cottage was immaculate & had all the things needed to make our stay perfect. The cottage has an indoor kennel with a doggie door into a fenced run so our dog had a great stay too. The whole property is fenced with plenty of room for dogs to explore & plenty of parking. We especially enjoyed the chiminea in the chilly evenings. Communication with the owners was excellent. The cottage is just a short drive to Wimberly, San Marcos, Fredericksburg & other Hill Country sites. Even though the cottage is on a rather busy road, the fence & location of the cottage give you the feeling you are miles away from the hustle & bustle. If you are going to the Hill Country, you owe it to yourself to stay at Ollie's - you won't be disappointed.

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.

Quiet, restful

The house was small but comfortable. Our dogs had never been kenneled before so I was a little apprehensive about leaving them but they did fine. The refrigerator was small but adequate. Since it was very cold outside we just left drinks in the ice chest. When I go somewhere for several days, I like to unpack but there were no closets or storage space. They might want to get some kind of under bed storage. Overall, we will be back. The owner checked on us several times to see if we needed anything and that was very nice.
