Wonderful Central Texas Stay

We absolutely loved our stay at the Royal Gate Retreat. Located in a circle of the other properties with a grill at each and a grill in the central area (which is pleasant) Very quiet area, the owners are communicative and friendly. Within 20 minutes of Canyon Lake, Wimberley, New Braunfels and 30 from Gruene and San Marcos I would recommend

Nice Getaway

This is our second time staying at one of Candy’s cabins and again it was a great stay. The cabin is perfect and close to our plans for a concert at Whitewater. The location was close both downtown NB and Canyon lake area, bed was comfortable and upstairs loft was cool. Highly recommend

Our Tiny stay

My family is from the area so I like to bring my two young boys as often as possible to visit. We like to have our own space while we are in town and this was the perfect size for us and my mom. It is about 30 minutes from New Braunfels and an hour from San Antonio, the two places we split our time between. It was comfortable, quiet and clean.

We loved it!

My boyfriend and I stayed here for spring break and it was perfect for us, we are 20 and 21. The location is not far from Wimberly or New Braunfels, I think is was like 20 minutes to either of there downtown areas. It has everything you need and the place is so cute and quiet. Coming from a college town we were so surprised how quiet it was! Cost was a big factor on where we decided to stay because we didn’t want to break the bank on our trip and this place exceeded our expectations. You could also rent out several of them if you had a big group of people. Overall, it was perfect and we would 100% stay here again.

Winter Get Away

We really enjoyed staying at Royal Gate Retreat! The comfortable well furnished tiny house was our home for the month of February to get away for colder winter weather in Northeast Kansas. We enjoyed front porch sitt'n! Liked that the roads were paved in the quiet country sitting. Great for bike riding and going for walks in the neighborhood. The dark night sky was perfect to see the parade of planets! Enjoyed our visits with our host.If we decide to repeat our trip next winter, we will definitely have Royal Gate Retreat on top of our list of options of places to stay,

The hosts were very responsive and friendly! I’d have to say, number one reason to return are the hosts. The location was quiet and close to sites. We aren’t big sightseers- we go to places to get away from the Wisconsin winter. This year it followed us. We had to leave when it finally got nice.

Great Place to Stay

We booked this place for a short weekend to watch Georgia play Texas. It’s great if you want to go to San Antonio or Austin, because you’re right in between the two and it’s not a terribly long drive. The inside was great and spacious. It would be perfect for a small family or a couple of friends. Overall a great experience and would highly recommend.

Nice and Sound

We have stayed in this small home for 2 years straight now and absolutely love it! The property owners were friendly and gave you plenty of privacy. The location was close enough to many activities such as Canyon Lake, Schlitterbahn, various tubing spots and more. We will be returning next year.

The Quiet Country Tiny House

Candy and Larry were great host. We stayed at their place for 2 months, while waiting for our new build to be completed. They were very accommodating and always checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed. This is country living at it's best!

Liked: Location

The amenities were poorly maintained: there were roaches, both alive and dead, throughout; crumbs were on the kitchen counter around the toaster; bathroom had a lot of "hair" on and around the toilet; there was an abundance of dog hair, especially upstairs, on the beds, linens, and carpet. The downstairs bedroom was fine and seemed well-kept.

Great location

We were there for family time in both New Braunfels and Spring Branch. This was a perfect location. The 5 tiny houses are very cute. Ours had a very nice floor plan. Very clean and great communication with the owners. Had everything we needed. So relaxing, to sit out on the covered porch. Based on other rentals in the area, it was reasonably priced for the season. We will be using this property when we come and visit family and friends in the future. Highly recommend if you don't mind being outside the city.

Perfect for the 4 of us!

The cabin was clean and cozy! My kids loved the little upstairs loft! Careful, its only crawling space, not standing space. But it was fun! Very tiny, but still enough space to disappear for some alone time if need be! Candy and Larry are great! So friendly and personable. The location is very much in the country, secluded from most everything. Nice and quiet and you can see the stars at night! Still only 15 mins from fast food, groceries, and restaurants. Only 20 mins to Schlitterbahn and the Comal River! I will absolutely stay here again!

Thoughtfully Appointed

Everything needed was there. You can tell the owners work hard to make sure guests are comfortable. The cabins are well built and have nice finishes. We also own a VRBO and know the work that is put into hosting. They do a great job.
