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!

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Perfect!

Absolutely wonderful stay! We sat outside under the trees from sun-up to sun-down talking, reading, and enjoying the beautiful weather. The dogs were free to roam and sniff. Everything was just right - the beds were comfortable, the indoor/outdoor run gave my dogs a safe place to go out after dark without me. Loved everything about this place!
