Best little cottage in Texas!

Beautiful little cottage tucked back in the hill country. Wendy has decorated it perfectly in a adorable cross between country cabin and old English cottage. The stars at night will take your breath away. Look no further!

Romantic Birthday

My husband and I had an amazing weekend. It was beautiful and relaxing. Wendy went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. With fresh flowers, yummy treats and even a birthday banner for my husband. This cabin has everything you need for a romantic getaway. We will definitely be back.

Simply amazing

If you need a place to get away from the loud city life, this little cottage is the perfect place. My husband and I got to recharge and enjoy some peace and quiet with each other. From exploring the grounds on the golf cart, to seeing the many different animals and stargazing next to a fire. It was the perfect getaway for us. Wendy and Kevin your place is amazing, and we can’t wait to come back☺️

Perfect anniversary get-away

Wellspring Cottage was the perfect place for us to relax and refresh as we celebrated our anniversary. Wendy's welcome of beautiful flowers, tasty treats, and bubbly was a lovely surprise. The cottage is extremely comfortable and cozy, with many decorative details that add to its atmosphere. What a blast to tool around the property on the golf cart! We also really enjoyed fishing and sunning on the dock at the pond. Terrific place in every way!

Away From It All

My husband and I had another incredible visit to Wellspring Cottage. Quiet, clean, comfortable, and exactly what we needed. Wendy welcomed us upon arrival and made sure we were well taken care of throughout our stay, but it is all of the special touches that really make everything so wonderful. We were able to rest, relax, and recover from the hustle and bustle of life. Birdwatching while soaking in the clawfoot tub, exploring the wildflower filled fields, and wading through cool streams were all available to us and thoroughly enjoyed. I highly recommend Wellspring Cottage for anyone looking to get away with someone you love to just be together.

STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND BOOK NOW!

We have stayed in numerous VRBO's over the last several years, and I have to admit this is my very first time doing a review and it's because this one deserves it! Above and beyond doesn't justify the service and experience you will have with Wendy. She's very attentive, responds quickly, gives suggestions and ideas of things to do and places to eat while your there for your stay, and if you're lucky like me, you'll get to go home with some home-grown vegetables handpicked from her garden! This was perfect for our anniversary, but we will definitely be returning any time we need another peaceful weekend away. This was a little piece of Heaven on earth and I'm so happy we found it!

Little bit of Heaven

We love this little piece of country relaxation! The cabin is very clean and has all the right touches. The hostess is amazing! The added snacks and warm homemade bread with honey butter are so thoughtful! We always enjoy a glass of wine out by the firepit. This was our second stay and we will be back. Lovely!!

Exceptional stay at private cabin on historic quiet ranch

The host provided so many extras… food baskets, snacks, surprises. Private little cabin on a historic property of host. Cabin tucked away enough to be private but get to enjoy the animals and woods. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!!! We went when wildflowers were in abundance along the country roads. Such a fabulous stay as each need was provided… including upscale amenities! Loved every moment there!

Home away from home

Absolutely perfect! We arrived later than planned and the owner had no problems with meeting us and showing us the way. The entire atmosphere was so peaceful with fresh flowers, champagne, happy birthday sign (it was my b-day), cheese and snacks all from a local establishment. Candles were lit and was very inviting. We had to leave pretty early the next morning due to a small family emergency, but were able to enjoy a 4 star eat in homemade breakfast that was more than enough! Whenever we come to the area, we will do our best to stay here, no need to look at any other places. This is our home away from home! Thankyou so much to the owner for making my birthday amazing!

This is my 2nd time staying at this property, and I will be back. The land is beautiful, the host is excellent, and the cottage is the perfect retreat place to unplug. The cottage is completely surrounded by woods and nature Nd the perfect place to unwind.

Refreshing Reprieve

Our stay was everything we hoped for - a getaway for my wife and I to spend time with just each other. The smallness of the cabin was perfect to stay close, and the comfort was just right. The property manager, Wendy, made sure questions we had were answered promptly, and her personal touch of fresh baked bread that met my wife's dietary needs was amazing!

Relaxing Getaway!

My husband and I had a very relaxing and fun experience at this property! Lots of things to see and explore and the hosts are kind and friendly. You really feel like you're off grid in nature. We had fun stargazing, roasting marshmallows, and exploring the property. The hosts go above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable, from the bathbombs in the tub to the fresh baked bread and snacks in the kitchen. We had a wonderful time and can't wait to go back!

September is a special month for us, we celebrate our anniversary and it's also the month of my dear husband's birthday. We really enjoyed that time, just us and nature, and in addition to a beautiful rainy afternoon, it was heavenly.

About the host

Hosted by Wendy Cude

Host profile image
Originally I'm from New Zealand but I have now resided in Texas for 29 years. Married to Kevin and Mum to 4 grown children, we live on 240 acres of beautiful central Texas land that has been in the family since 1888.
I have been an RN for over 35yrs and have for the last 17 yrs worked locally as a School Nurse. I love to cook or be outside gardening and looking after the many animals on the property. Recently we have become Apiarists and currently have 10 working bee hives.

Why they chose this property

This land has been in my husbands family since 1888 and we built our forever home here in 2007. We were both raised on the land and love being outdoors and have a wonderful assortment of animals and pets.
Kevin is an avid potter and woodworker and enjoys creating and building.

What makes this property unique

Gourmet breakfasts or romantic baskets are an option, delivered to the cottage via picnic basket for an additional fee. Please contact host for further info if interested. Wellspring Cottage is located on a working ranch, and should guests be interested there is opportunity for interaction with the miniature goats and cows, while hosts are present. Access to the cottage is still under construction and parking may be off site at times, however there is a golf cart for guest use to transport luggage and get around the property.
There is a large one acre pond a short walk from the cottage that has a cookhouse and fire pit for picnics if so desired. There is also a two person kayak available for guest use, but no life jackets are supplied. Swimming and fishing from the dock is permitted, the tank is well stocked with bass, catfish, perch and some crappie, on a catch and release basis. Bring your own fishing poles or contact host if you need supplies.
