We enjoyed all the extra amenities the house provided. The outside patio table to the left.

Overall our stay at this house was pleasant.We didn't enjoy the front porch because the dog next door was barking most of the time.

Winter Texan Stay Jan - Feb

The house is clean and comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet and private. Property is conveniently located near restaurants and grocery stores. You are also near New Braunfels/Gruene and not far from San Antonio.We had one incident where the Texas Water Co. had a water main break and we were without water for 12 hours. Dakota at HCPL was very helpful and sympathetic. We were taken by surprise at how low the lake is. Canyon Lake has been in a drought for 5 years and the lake is at an all time low. All the parks and landings were closed. We were also surprised at how seriously the limit on number of people allowed was taken. We were left feeling that we could not invite a friend over for dinner or a visit.

Good

Property is just as advertised. Clean and quiet. I would stay there again. The TV only has streaming, and it was difficult for me to get live TV (game) to stream. I’d recommend adding an antenna for local channels or a simple basic cable package. But if you’re coming in the summer for the lake that’s not important.

Nice place; unwilling to address concerns adequately

The location is nice as is the home. The furnishings are decent enough, and the guest clean-up requirements are not onerous.Communication was great leading up to our stay. The prop mgmt company let us know that a new TV remote would be delivered due to an accident with the previous guest. Not an issue, and we got the remote connected to the TV easily.We had an event the night of our check-in, so, while we'd dropped our stuff off, we didn't have a chance to check out the rest of the house. When we went to get in bed late that night, we discovered that the bed frame supporting the king bed in the main room was broken to the point where the king bed was unusable. We made the property mgmt aware of this the following morning - they were initially responsive and appreciative that we let them know, but as soon as I suggested that we receive a partial refund due to the inconvenience (and considering that we had passed over less costly options specifically due to this home having a king size bed), RADIO SILENCE FROM PROPERTY MANAGEMENT.Hopefully they've fixed the issue. They never provided anything more than a "thank you for sharing..." and then offered to reach out to the prop owner about it. I still haven't heard from them again, even post-checkout.It should've been an easy fix and a great review, but, so long as they are unwilling to even respond to an actual customer issue, I'll do my best to avoid any properties managed by Hill Country Premier Lodging in the future.

Quiet Property

Not only was this property beautiful, spacious, and clean it was amazingly quiet. The home must be well insulated because we did not wake up one time because of outside noises. Very comfortable accommodations make this property a good choice for any age group. I loved the nice hill you drive up to get to the property. We would love to come back again.

We rented this property due to its location to Whitewater Amphitheater. Its the perfect size, great location and the scenery was gorgeous. We enjoyed several herds of visiting deer. Grab some corn if you want them to stay around!

Beautiful place

Only item I wish it had was a pantry. Otherwise perfect. I repaired a loose back door knob. The GFCI closet to the oven is not working. Deer in the morning and evening will come within about 20’ of you. The bed was perfect. This was the first time I got a good nights sleep when I travel.
