About this property

Hot Tub, EV Charger, Plus Stunning Hill Country Stargazing & Wildlife

  • W.O.R.D Permit- L1350
    Nestled into the rolling hills of Spring Branch, Texas, the Napping Fox Cottage is a serene two-bedroom, one-bathroom retreat where comfort meets calm and nature steals the show. With peaceful Hill Country views, charming details, and local wildlife (including deer, wild turkeys and a namesake fox who wanders through occasionally), this getaway invites you to slow down, breathe deep, and reconnect with family, friends, or simply with yourself.

    From the moment you arrive, you’ll be swept away by the soothing atmosphere and Nordic-inspired functional design. Soft sage green tones, natural wood textures, and minimalist decor create a tranquil backdrop to the incredible views just outside your door.

    Bedroom 1 is a spacious suite featuring a luxurious king-size adjustable bed, perfect for reading, lounging, or customizing each side to your preferred sleep position. A streaming TV adds a little entertainment for cozy nights in.

    Bedroom 2 also features a plush king bed and a restful vibe—ideal for couples or families traveling together.

    The full bathroom includes a tub/shower combo with an extra-tall shower head for a more comfortable rinse after a day exploring nearby Canyon Lake or hiking through the Hill Country.

    The galley kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to prepare meals at home, from the electric stove and oven to the microwave, drip coffee maker, tea kettle and generous stone countertops. Enjoy your meals at the dining table for four, just off the kitchen and living area.

    In the living room, a wall of windows floods the space with natural light and brings the outdoors in. When weather permits, you can open the retractable glass doors and let the breeze flow through from the screened-in porch. A pair of recliners, two club chairs, and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace (with decorative logs and LED candles for ambience) make this space equally suited for morning coffee or stargazing with a nightcap.

    Outdoors, the magic continues. The screened porch offers a convertible picnic table that doubles as two benches—a cozy spot for dining, relaxing, or playing games. Step out to the private hot tub under the stars, set at a scenic lookout point where unspoiled Hill Country views stretch for miles. There’s also an outdoor shower, a charcoal grill (BYO charcoal), and a propane grill for barbecue nights.

    Wander the property to find a second lookout area with Adirondack rocking chairs, a peaceful perch for sunrise coffee or sunset wine. And keep an eye out—you just might spot a fluffy-tailed fox dozing in the sunshine somewhere nearby.
    With WiFi, a full-sized washer and dryer, and space to unwind both indoors and out, the Napping Fox Cottage is the kind of place that feels like a well-kept secret.

    Please note:
    -The property is accessed via a dirt road that can be rough at times, A truck or SUV is best, but neighbors with lower-clearance vehicles drive safely (and slowly) every day.

    -The outdoor area includes uneven and sloped terrain, loose rocks, and native ground cover, some of which can be prickly. Please use caution if exploring the property.

    -This is a rural Hill Country setting, so you may also encounter scorpions, spiders, and or even snakes or other wildlife—as well as a rich array of birds. It's all part of the charm, but guests should stay aware and tread thoughtfully outdoors.

    -While the property overlooks the Guadalupe River, shown in aerial photos and sometimes visible through the trees from the hot tub patio and stone landing, there is no direct access from the home or yard across an adjacent private property.

    For the safety and security of our guests and property, exterior security cameras are in use. Cameras are located at the entrance of the property and on the back corners of the house, covering the back walk-up areas. These cameras are positioned to monitor only the exterior and do not face into any interior living spaces, ensuring your privacy during your stay.

    Nearby attractions include:
    -2.9 miles (9 minutes) to The Club at Rebecca Creek & Golf Course

    -3.9 miles (10 minutes) to Pontita Vineyard and Winery; more wineries, breweries and distilleries can be found in the area

    -6.0 miles (15 minutes) to Canyon Lake Boat Ramp #11

    -7.0 miles (15 minutes) to Whataburger; more dining options available nearby

    Explore the Best of the Hill Country
    Whether you're seeking outdoor adventure, small-town charm, or iconic Texas landmarks, you're perfectly positioned to explore it all. Within a short drive from the property, you'll find a variety of local attractions to round out your Hill Country getaway. Stroll the scenic Old Hancock Trail, enjoy a sunset from Overlook Park, or float the crystal-clear waters of the Guadalupe River.

    For a dose of local culture, head to Gruene, where you can catch live music at the legendary Gruene Hall, dine riverside at the iconic Gristmill Restaurant, or browse the charming shops.

    Wimberley's treasures are also close by—including the artisan vibes of Downtown Wimberley, the swimming holes of Jacob’s Well and Blue Hole Regional Park, and adrenaline-pumping fun at Wimberley Zipline Adventures.

    For a day trip, New Braunfels offers family-friendly fun at Schlitterbahn Water Park, scenic strolls through Landa Park, and plenty of local eateries and shops to explore.

    Whether you’re planning a romantic escape, a relaxing weekend with friends, or a peaceful family stay, the Napping Fox Cottage delivers the perfect blend of modern comfort, thoughtful design, and Hill Country charm. It’s a place to rest, reconnect and maybe even nap in the sun.

Moms weekend away

The property was spacious and clean. We enjoyed lots of time in the kitchen/dining/large living space together, and our weather was beautiful for the outside porches and seating. There were a few small things we didn’t have in the kitchen and our fridge filter said “replace,” but we made it work. Location and proximity to town was great! I would love to come back

Perfect for Girls or Fam Trip

The house and property were wonderful! The main kitchen/dining/living area is perfect for family gatherings. Super close to all the main areas of Wimberley. Only issue encountered was the Netflix app in living and master bedroom were locked by someone named Shauna, and it wouldn’t allow us to log her out and log in with our own. Otherwise, no complaints!

Great escape

Just as described. Lovely home right on the creek. Sixty-ish ladies celebrating a birthday! We had a wonderful time cooking watching movies playing pool and arcade game. The creek was going dry and there was a burn ban so no chance to use fire pit area.. Quite neighbors, deer everywhere. Great spot. I would definitely stay again.

Girls' Trip

Nice stay for girls' trip. Plenty of room. Few things need looking after that could become serious such as sliding glass door does not lock, strip on stairs from kitchen to living room not secure, some plugs do not have covers, toaster does not heat up and smokes. We stayed after a storm so understandably some outside clean up was needed. Overall, had a great time and appreciate the use of your property,

Cute house

Stayed with 3 of my children for our Spring Break. Kids really liked the pool table, game table, and going down to the creek. There are lots of steps down to the creek. Few fun things to do around town that we enjoyed. The home was fine but there are a few things that could be better. The dishwasher lower rack didn’t fit right in the dishwasher and a struggle to use. The rug in the kitchen is a death trap bc it slides everywhere. Dresser drawers in the main bedroom are tight and don’t pull easily. I don’t think the house had been used for awhile before us because once we pulled the coverlets down from all the beds there was dusty fluff over all the beds. It just made it seem dirty even though they weren’t and the floors weren’t as clean as they should be, my sons socks were black at the end of the first night.

Beautiful but a Little Buggy

Truly a lovely home with all you need for your family to enjoy their time together (board games, pool table, patio areas, wonderful dining area). The view from the patio to the creek was terrific, but sadly, there was no water in the stream, which was disappointing. I know no one can control that but knowing would have lessoned the disappointment. The day before check-in, I received a text saying the rental agreement had not been signed, I didn't know about it. Called, and the lady told me it was sent three times and gave me the time and date sent; I had already searched inbox, trash, and spam for their company name. Using Gmail, most things make it to my inbox. We tried another email- it worked. So we were set and headed on our getaway. I fell in love with the house instantly. It is close to town, a quiet neighborhood, deer everywhere. That night we began noticing bugs, just a few downstairs, more upstairs. I meant to call the next day but we had a full day. That night the numbers were much higher. I texted the company and sent a pic via email. They did not respond and still haven't. By the third night my son used our shower because there were more than so many bugs in his. Our feet were also black from walking around in the house. Google searched the bugs, they look like click beetles. The house was great but the management company experiences were not. Would rate a 1 if the house wasn't so perfect without factoring the beetles in.
