Sunflower Ridge Cabin - Charming Romantic Getaway
Every day is “sunny” at Sunflower Ridge! Sunflower Ridge Cabin is one of three homes located on this Hill Country oasis, minutes from downtown San Marcos. The homes can be rented together if traveling in a group or individually for a couple’s trip. After a fun day exploring the city of San Marcos, escape to this delightful country hideaway for the perfect blend of privacy and convenience. Sunflowers have a special meaning to the owners since it is their daughter’s favorite flower. Come and see all the sunflowers and other beautiful wildflowers that grow around the home in the Spring! With magnificent views, cozy furnishings, and fun outdoor amenities, this adorable two-story cabin is perfect for your Hill Country getaway. Inside, the rustic wood floors and cabinets complimented by lovely floral wall decor pull the natural beauty inside and create that nostalgic “cabin” feel. The main room of the first floor serves as an open-plan kitchen and living area. This cabin will take you back in time, while still providing all the modern conveniences needed to make your stay comfortable. In the kitchen, gourmet guests may prepare meats and veggies to toss on the grill for a delicious steak dinner. Enjoy your meal at the dining table, or step outside to eat while taking in the breeze and the sounds of nature. This will be especially relaxing after a fun day of hiking, swimming, or kayaking one of the nearby rivers or trails. On a rainy day, pop some popcorn, snuggle up on the comfy sofa, and watch a classic movie. The owners have provided extra blankets and pillows for your comfort.
Wander up the stairs and get settled in the Sunflower loft bedroom. This cozy hideaway is perfect for a girls’ trip, or small families. The rustic charm decor continues up to the second floor with the bedspread adding a fun pop of color! Find a King bed, sleeper sofa and a cozy little nook, with a built-in twin bed located on the side of the room. With comfy mattresses, soft linens, and cozy loft vibes, you are sure to have a good night’s sleep. Downstairs, the bathroom is a colorful surprise in the home. The creative mosaic with rock and tilework is mesmerizing-- it is truly a work of art! This bathroom will have you feeling refreshed and inspired as you get ready for the day.
Outdoor enthusiasts will love all the amenities at Sunflower Ridge Cabin. The porch provides plenty of seating, including classic rocking chairs.

The campfire is perfect for roasting smores, keeping warm on a cool night, and simply gathering around, making new memories while reminiscing on days gone by. Just make sure to check the local burn-ban policy first! For a relaxing afternoon, grab your favorite book or magazine and chill out in the hammock.

This cabin is just a few minutes from Wimberley, but you are tucked away and cozy in the hill country. It is adorable and has a beautiful sunset view from the porch or firepit area. Make sure you know that the bed area is a loft that you need to be able to climb into. It's a little awkward, but totally doable, and the bed itself is very comfortable. Definitely recommend for a weekend away!
Great location, beautifully designed to cultivate the hill country aesthetic. Pretty views at the cabin. There are 2 other rentals on property nearby but we had no issues with the neighbors.
I loved staying here with the option to easily visit both Wimberly and Gruene and then be able to come home and relax in the quiet. Great porch for sitting and relaxing.
Cabin was in a perfect location, secluded but close to town and stores. Bathroom is awesome! Front porch rocking chairs and the time spent watching the wildlife and stars at night were our favorite!!
The property was cute. My daughter and I stayed there for a couple days during her texas state orientation. I was able to do work using wifi in the evenings without issue. It has a perfect location to get you anywhere quickly. The vrbo was less expensive than the hotels in the area. I would recommend.
Wonderful cabin in Hill Country. Perfect for my wife and I. Pretty close to HEB and State Parks for our hiking adventures. I will definitely stay again.
A great escape to the hill country. Lots of things to do near by during the day, from shopping to breweries, and then you get to come back and relax in the cabin.
Beautiful area, charming cabin and comfortable. Cool mosaic bathroom!
A bit dusty and dirty air fry oven. Linens were clean. Overall it was a great stay!
Perfect little spot for a romantic get away. Peaceful, wish there would have been water in the hot tub, but totally understandable with the lack of rain recently. Would Definity go back.
This is my second time staying here, because I loved it so much the first time. The property is very serene, with the hill country to sit and look at, and the home is cozy, with great detail to the woodwork, designs, and amenities provided! Because of the drought at the Lakes, the Hot Tub was not available, however it was not an issue, because the bathroom and bathtub provided just as much of a relaxing experience. However, the first time I’ve been here we did use the hot tub and it was great with the outdoor atmosphere! I would recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay for outings in the area or just to relax. A true charm and Blessed to have found this!

Nice getaway
Everything was good. Power was off when we arrived but we were able to turn the breaker on ourselves. Unfortunately the hot tub was not available and we did not find out about it until we arrived. Cabin was good and provided a place to stay. The bed upstairs was a little misleading. We had to crawl on our hands and knees to get on and off. Location was good for all we did while we stayed there.
Was a good location and place for last minute booking but pictures are very deceiving. There is no room to get in the bed, you have to literally crawl to not hit your head.
Also do not try to ask for anything extra. We had 1.5 rolls of toilet paper. We asked for one more and they acted like that is all they should supply so we bought our own. That is the only thing we asked for during the trip. But it is a good location to get to most places around there.
We stayed for 5 days for the 2024 eclipse. The cabin and surrounding land are terrific. Perfect porch to sit on and enjoy the views and birds. We did have some suggestions for improvement. First, only 1 dish towel was provided for a 5-day stay. Ditto only 2 rolls of toilet paper for 3 adults. Shaving razors & shaving cream were provided yet we had to restock the TP. There was no information on how to inflate the mattress on the main-floor sofa bed & no indication of where its linens might be. We brought the small mattress downstairs for our 3rd adult family member. And the hot tub was nonfunctional--there was a note of explanation about a drought. We were looking forward to the hot tub and felt the listing misrepresented what was available. Finally, the hummingbird feeder was full of moldy nectar, which can kill hummers. We cleaned it out & made new sugar water and were rewarded by many visitors. Would be helpful to include in the listing that there is a drip coffee maker along with a pod coffee maker. No starter coffee supply was provided, just 2 pods in weird flavors. We arrived late at night and had to scramble to secure coffee for the next morning. We have stayed in many VRBO properties and this one simply lacked a number of things that are normally provided to guests, in our experience. I provide this feedback to let the owners know that a few improvements would go a long way toward making guests happier. The tilework in the bathroom was amazing!
