Sunflower Ridge Bungalow - An Outdoor Enthusiasts Wonder

Every day is “sunny” at Sunflower Ridge! Sunflower Ridge Bungalow is perfect for your couple’s getaway to the Hill Country! If traveling in a group, check out the other homes on the property to rent all together (Sunflower Ridge Cottage and Sunflower Ridge Cabin). This adorable barn-turned-studio home is the perfect place to return to after a full day exploring San Marcos. How often can you say that you stayed in a red barn on your vacation? Come see what all the fuss is about and book a stay at Sunflower Ridge Bungalow!

Inside, the wooden floors and furnishings add a rustic touch to the home, complemented by the lovely colorful bedspread and decor. The owners have provided soft towels and linens and extra pillows for your comfort. You are sure to wake up feeling refreshed after a restful night’s sleep in the Bungalow bedroom! Step into the kitchen and prepare breakfast or a cup of coffee using the Keurig coffee maker. The kitchen is as charming as it is convenient, stocked with all the necessities for your stay. Use the grill for a hearty meal or bring some snacks for a tasty charcuterie board. Enjoy a delicious meal inside at the cozy breakfast nook or outdoors on the deck area.

With all that it has to offer outdoor enthusiasts will love this property. The nice wood deck is a great place to enjoy your morning coffee while enjoying nature. Sunflower Ridge acquired its name through the owner's daughter's love of sunflowers and the beautiful wildflowers that grow around the home in the Spring. Needless to say, Sunflower Ridge is a magical place to connect with nature. You are sure to see whitetail deer off in the woods and hummingbirds buzzing around the birdfeeder. Grab a good book and spend a relaxing afternoon in the hammock. As the sun goes down, enjoy your favorite beverage on the deck. Gather around the fire pit to roast s’mores or keep warm on a cool night. Don’t forget to look up and gaze upon the beautiful Texas night sky.

For whatever reason you are traveling, you are sure to have a great stay at this home. One thing is certain-- no matter the weather, every day is “sunny” at Sunflower Ridge!

Whether you’re an outdoorsman or a shopaholic, there is so much to do in San Marcos! Float down the spring-fed San Marcos River.

Visit the over 240 shops at the outlet mall for a day of endless shopping. Hike the trails at Purgatory Creek Natural Area and take in the beauty.

Looking for an outing for the day? Take a drive to Canyon Lake and rent a boat or jet skis for a fun afternoon on the water. Check out the music calendar at Whitewater Amphitheater and rock out at a concert! Explore New Braunfels and Gruene and enjoy fabulous restaurants and live music. A day of tubing, kayaking, and rafting on the Guadalupe River is always fun. Families and children will especially love Schlitterbahn Water Park and Landa Park.

Further down the road, spend the day exploring Fredericksburg. Travel to Wine Road 290 which offers 19 wineries, all within a few miles of each other. Visit one of Fredericksburg’s two amazing museums: the National Museum of the Pacific War and the Pioneer Museum. During the summer, make sure to stop by a fruit stand and grab some famous Fredericksburg peaches.
In Kerrville, Schreiner Park is located on 517 acres along the Guadalupe River, where you can swim, rent boats, or explore hiking trails.

We wanted a quick getaway to disconnect from our busy crazy work life without too much sacrifice. This property delivered exactly what it said it had and wat we needed. Loved the stars at night and the nature view. We got to disconnect without sacrificing comfort. The only thing taht could improve was the cleanliness of the toilet. Everything else was in good conditions and comfortable.

We both enjoyed the bungalow, it was peaceful, and enjoyable. Nice location and we would stay again. Maybe next time there won’t be a burn ban and we can light a fire!! The A/C filter needs attention as well as the standup heater.

Amazing Hill Country Experience!

This was such a beautiful little spot with easy access to Wimberly, Austin, Canyon Lake, and surrounding locations.. Hidden in the back of the property, it was very private and just the perfect atmosphere inside and out to experience the Texas Hill Country in full. Easy to use fire pit where you can enjoy and sit under the stars for hours! Host was very responsive and everything was clean.

Spouse Marriage Retreat

It was so clean and quiet. There is one home on the property that you can see when you leave but when you sit on the porch it is so quiet and serene. The main gate stopped working for a quick moment but they were there very quick, let us out, and had it fixed when we got back. I would stay here over and over.

Cabin on the Hill

Small, well appointed air conditioned cabin on a lovely hill country property. He’s all of the basics and then some for a three day property search excursion. Close to Canyon Lake, Wimberley, San Marcos and New Braunfels. Plenty of wild birds and a couple of deer roaming around, had a great stay there and would recommend for any couple looking for comfortable basic accommodations. I like the property!

Such a cozy place!

Overall, we had a great stay here. We loved the location, views, and love how hidden it is. There were a few things that I would like to point out though. The Keurig was broken so I wasn’t able to use it, which was super disappointing. I wish there was some extra blankets as we woke up in the early am super chilly and that little heater didn’t do much for us. My sock went under the bed and when I looked under the bed to get it, it looked like it hadn’t been swept under there in a long time, it was pretty nasty. Besides these minor things we enjoyed our stay and would probably be back.

Relaxing stay

Overall is a great place! Far enough away but still close to anything we wanted. Place and property was cute. Only exception was not having hot water for half the time we were there. That kinda put a kink in our plans. Definitely would stay again though.

Overall fantastic for couples

We loved being in nature and the privacy. Perfect for couples getaway. Loved all the amenities. However, some minor improvements would make this property perfect: Foot towel for bathroom and improved pressure in shower. Rubber spatula, bbq brush, full size cups/non-alcohol cups, and dish mat to put under dish drainer. A rail or clip in kitchen to hang wet dish towels. Lamps by bed are too bright/nonadjustable. Hornets nest on porch upon arrival. There's a large wire sticking out of the ground on exit road. Hammock listed in posting no where to be found.
