Property is not listed appropriately on VBRO it is misleading

I believe the property to be great accommodations but the location is not ideal for anyone that wants lake access. If you are looking to spend time near Canyon lake this is not the property for you.

Birthday slumber party

We had a mini family get together to celebrate a birthday. We love playing games and the dining table provided that for us. The house was a perfect choice-off the busy streets, wonderful amenities and had plenty of beds. Our hostess, Darla, was available for questions and concerns. I highly recommend this place!

Thanksgiving Getaway 2023

My family and I our sweet Pooch were looking to get away for the Thanksgiving weekend to rest and unwind. The Red Bird Hideaway was situated perfectly just a few minutes away from Overlook Park, for a nice walk/hike as well as to get a beautiful view of the lake itself. We also had various options for dining at our disposal, our family's personal favorites were Granny D's and Wildflour Artisan Bakery & Grill. The house itself is beautiful and spacious, with that country home comfort that we were looking for. The amenities were great! We hope to come back again in the future!

April 2024

We enjoyed our stay at the Red Bird Hideaway! The house is spacious, we were 3 adults and 2 teenagers. The backyard is great! We arrived in the dark so we were not sure where to park the car and enter the house, the parking is actually on the other street, right around the corner. The host responses were fast, polite and useful.

Brief review

Pros: Convenient location to the lake and restaurants. Big house. Hot tub was very nice. Beautiful master shower. Big yard. Fully furnished kitchen allowing meal prep. Cons: Neighbors were a little odd. One person walking up and down road, and in adjoining yard. Constant pacing. Master bath door tricky to keep closed. Could use night lights in bathrooms. Text issues with prop manager, but could be phones fault.

We enjoyed it, but the upkeep was lacking.

We enjoyed the space and the outside area, but things around the house need to be kept up with better. The fridge didn't work. It wouldnt keep anything cold. I'm not sure if it was off before we checked in and took awhile to get cool but we had to put things in the freezer to keep cool. Only one light in the bathroom worked so it was dim, the rocking chair up front was broken, the sink shoots water out when you turn it on. It was just lacking in upkeep. The we enjoyed ourselves and the hot tub.

Not Worth the Cost

There were multiple issues with our stay that made for an unpleasant experience. The cable/TV did not work, the hot tub malfunctioned (owner stated she needed to call repairman), the kitchen was not fully stocked, the oven had issues (owner acknowledged that it needed to be replaced)...Listing indicated there was access to the river just two blocks from the house. When asked where, owner indicated that was no longer possible and we would need to drive to river. Very disappointed with condition of property and stay.

Lovely Home

We loved staying here. Truly enjoyed the firepit for smores, the hot tub to relax in after the daytime hiking trails nearby, the Natural Caves hike, tubing, and walking San Antonio. LOVED that we could bring our dogs along to enjoy our stay. That meant so much to us. A special note to dog owners. One of our dogs is, well, a princess who is very sensitive to noises. The first few days she would only snuggle fiercely next to one of us. She wouldn't play with her brother but rarely. Didn't want her usual carrot treats. My daughter saw a mechanical pest sonar thing plugged into the wall over by the dining room table and wondered if that may have something to do with her unusual behavior. I researched it and found that some dogs might be sensitive to the 'unheard by human' sounds it makes. After we unplugged it she definitely was SO much happier and playful. She was back to her usual self. If you find that your dog is not behaving as normal, you might want to unplug this for your pooch. The only pitfall, and I never did let the owner know, was that the remote control volume and mute buttons do not work on the remote control. Please let the owner know for the next renters. Again, thank you for sharing your lovely home with us. Kind regards, The Plance Family

Great Property

The property was in a good location, The owner had made sure the house was cleaned and sanitized before our arrival. She contacted me and gave me the info to get in the home from the back which had a carport so we didn't have to get wet since it was raining. We enjoyed our stay.

Overall Excellent

I want to say that the response from the owner when we needed anything was super quick and within like 3 minutes. It wasn't that anything with property was wrong that we needed, a couple of guests forgot to print out the ticket for a show in Gruene and so I asked how we could that done. She was more than willing with information and suggestions and even was going to go out of her way to go into work and print if plan A didn't pan out. If I had to pick anything for improvement it would be the hot tub did not get hot enough, it seemed to never get over 91 degrees. It could be that we didn't know how to work it right and it wasn't a big deal that we didn't use it but for like 5 minutes because it was too cold. Place is as advertised and was clean and those were my main selling points and the hot tub wasn't a big deal to us in the end.

Great for family get away

My family gathered there to celebrate my daughter's golden birthday. The house was very comfortable. We played corn hole in the back yard. Enjoyed board at the nice sized table, which fit 8 grown adults. The sofa was very comfortable, and also was able to seat many of us together. On the second night, my daughters friend and two children join us for the celebration. It got late, but we were able to accommodate their stay as well, as we had an air mattress we used in the living room. Still with a lot of space. We enjoyed a short trip to Canyon Lake and brunch at Wild Flour. I will definitely give this property two thumbs up and highly recommend it!

Girls Weekend @ Canyon Lake

This house was amazing! Darla was so easy to work with and had everything clean and ready to go early. House was spacious, clean and nicely decorated. It was a 2 minute drive to the river entrance, a 4 minute drive to the amphitheater and a beautiful 15 minute drive to downtown New Braunfels. The neighborhood was quite and felt very safe. This house was an absolute hidden gem and we will definitely be back in the future.
