Disappointing

From the horrible road to get to the property to the house not having internet (which we need for our business) or the water that smelled like sulphur, it was a big disappointment. The host Marilyn was very nice and communicated well, but the cottage is not worth the price they are asking. I couldn’t bathe, brush my teeth or even turn the water on because it smelled so bad. The property was cute but kind of dumpy and could use a deep clean. Won’t be going back.

Little slice of heaven

Serenity was a lovely place to stay, perfect for a couple! The cottage had everything we needed and we enjoyed the hot tub. The property is tucked away and super quiet and private. We hung out in the shady lady lounge our first night and enjoyed the AMAZING sunset and playing giant Jinga! Marilyn is a perfect host, very accommodating and easy to work with. We are looking forward to another visit in this peaceful setting.

Nice and quiet little place

Went for our 30th anniversary, enjoyed our stay and all the attractions it had to offer, the cottage was somewhat clean, still had alot of dust in some areas, the toilet was very wobbly and loose each time you sat on it but we still had a enjoyable time and will definitely be going back

Quaint little cottage

We had a wonderful time using Marilyn's cottage as a homebase for our weekend adventures. Hot tub was soothing after our hikes.

Perfect!!!

Super Hosts! Everything was perfect and we will be returning the next chance we get. This was our 15 yr wedding anniversary and we couldn't have asked for more. Marilyn and crew were on it! Printed our concert tickets and had them waiting on the bed. They gave us total privacy and respect. The game room was awesome! We lost track of our worries here! Can't say enough about the view, the amenities, the coziness and of course our hosts!

About the host

Hosted by Marilyn K Baxter

Hello I am Marilyn.I have been in the hospitality business most of my adult career. I have owned and operated a full service catering business and coordinated events from 12 to 1000 guests. After catering I expanded and opened a retail florist also specializing in weddings and corporate events. I enjoy hosting dinner parties and meeting guests at my bed and breakfast.

Why they chose this property

My dream was to retire to the Texas Hill Country.
I have made my private entry guest house in to a cozy private cottage nested in the woods.
you will often see my cattle roam the lower pasture as well as deer and other wildlife.
I have raised chickens , turkeys, peafowl, and keep a garden.
Presently have chickens and love to share the free range fresh farm eggs and garden produce as well as fruits from my fruit trees when in season.
I prepare a complimentary breakfast using fresh farm raised products from right here .
The viewing deck is a great place to enjoy the sunset and see Canyon Lake.
there is plenty of parking if you want to bring your boat and trailer too.
I have been hosting my cottage for 4 years and have met and made many new friends from so many places.

What makes this property unique

From here at Serenity Hill you are minutes away from Gruene for shopping and music, Wimberley for shopping and music, Blanco Vinyards, nine miles to float the Guadalupe River and 3 miles from Canyon Lake to name a few destinations.
Located on the Famous Devil's Backbone.
A portion of The Texas Hill Country that looks like something straight out of a Wild West Movie.
