About this property

Peaceful, family friendly home close to water activities, shopping, and more!

The John Know house is a family friendly place to stay in the Hill Country area.
There is a large fenced in yard, a full size, well equipped kitchen, living area, and 4 bedrooms. There is plenty to keep you busy both inside and outside the house. We have a wonderful guidebook we provide to give you great ideas for places to eat, shop, activities to do, and events in our local area. The house sleeps 11 very comfortably, but isn't too big for a single family to enjoy as well.
The space:
Guest will have access to all four acres the house sits on. A large portion is fenced in for children's and pet's safety, but you are welcome to go beyond the fence. Just go out the gate on the side, and begin to explore. There is a wet weather creek in the back of property, that provides a place to explore or hunt for arrowheads. It's fun to collect lightning bugs when they are out as well.

There is so much to do at the John Knox house. There is a treehouse, fire pit, BBQ pit, picnic tables, outdoor games to play, a ping pong table, a fuse-ball table, board games, puzzles and even a few art supplies. You won't run out of fun things to do when you visit this place.

In the shed we have available for your use: an ice chest, 2 kayaks, a table, and 8 bag chairs you can use at the house, or take with you to the river/lake.

The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, bake ware, coffee maker, blender, and most anything you will need to cook. We even have a highchair and a Pac-n-Play for your kiddos. If you have any questions about if we have certain items, please do not hesitate to ask.


We have three flat screen TVs with Direct TV and Netflix available. WiFi is included.
Guest access
Inside the fenced area, there is a large area with crushed granite area to park. There is room for multiple cars and/or a boat if you are bringing one with you. Please park on the crushed granite and not on the grass. You will definitely want a vehicle to get around while here because we are out in the country, however there is an option to rent transportation for day trips if you so choose.
Other things to note
This home is in a quiet neighborhood with lots of beautiful shade trees. You will enjoy the privacy of being out in the country, while being centrally located to places to visit all around.

There is a Brookshire Brother's 4.3 mile away from the house for your grocery needs if you would like to wait and buy groceries upon your arrival.

Great!

Everything was exactly as described. Owner/property manager was the most responsive I've seen to date. Lots of outdoor amenities, which would be great in cooler weather. Unfortunately I decided to go in August, during a heatwave, so wasn't able to fully enjoy everything they had to offer, but that's my choice/fault. They also provided so many little personalized touches, which is seldom seen elsewhere, like little toiletries, etc. I actually brought everything I needed with me, but thought thar was a very thoughtful touch!

This ranch did not disappoint

We stay in the greater Canyon Lake area at least once a year to play on the lake in our boat and spend time in the beautiful area between Canyon Lake / Wimberley / San Marcos. This year, we had the largest group yet, with 10 adults and children plus 2 dogs. The playroom was perfect each night, we got to hang outside and listen to the chickens and cows, and my dogs especially got to run around and enjoy being dogs with all the country has to offer. There was plenty of room and privacy and room for all of the kids we had -- getting the teenagers in one area and the youngers in another was also fantastic. We are planning on renting this place again in the fall/winter during the holiday season. I love Wimberley during Christmas, so looking forward to our next visit.

You have to stay here!

We had 2 familes that stayed here (4 adults and 5 kids ranging from 6-10). There was plenty of rooms and beds for everyone to sleep comfortably. The location was great as it was couple of mins away from 2 boat ramps and the grocery store. The drive way had plenty of parking place for your vehicles and boats. Everything is provided in this house and all you really need is clothes and food. The house was clean and nicely set up. The best part was the game room and the outdoor part to keep the kids very busy. There was plenty of towels, cups, dishes, etc...enough for a lot of people. Katherine was a great and fast on her communication and answered all my questions to ensure my stay was going to be great which it was. I definitely highly recommend this place as the price was reasonable for the location and space it offers. This house offer more than a home away from home, it felt like home! I will definitely book here again for our next stay.

Hi, my name Kathy, my husband David and I are both from the Hill Country area. We own our own custom cabinet shop and we have 3 vacation homes we rent out in the Hill Country Area. I enjoy meeting new people and my goal is to make our home as comfortable and convenient as possible.

Why they chose this property

Our home is in the country on 4 acres so you have space to relax and enjoy. We have a huge fenced in yard that is wonderful for both kids and pets to run and play. At night you can sit around the campfire and actually see the stars.

What makes this property unique

We offer a country experience that is not too far away from many fun activities, restaurants, shopping areas, and lots of outdoor recreation opportunities. We are also both kid and pet friendly.
