The Best Vacation Rental

This rental was absolutely amazing. It had something for everyone and kept us busy and entertained in between our outings. The absolute best was getting seeing all the deer early in the mornings.

Amazing Vacation Home!!

We loved our stay at Firefly Cottage! The house was just as described in the listing and pictures. Everyone enjoyed feeding the local deer (by hand in some cases), the game room, and the hot tub. Austin also did a really great job with communication. We can't wait to be back next year!

Firefly Never Dissappoints

This is our 3rd year of staying in the Firefly house for our annual trip to New Braunfels. The house never disappoints. The house is always clean and modern look. The deer are always in the backyard. The playroom is a hit. The beds are amazing. We even had an incident where a friend forgot a laptop after checkout and the property owner Austin went the extra mile to help us get it back. I highly recommend this house to families looking to stay in the Canyon Lake area.
