Bear Creek Cottage Exquisite Texas Retreat!

Escape to Bear Creek Cottage in Manchaca Texas! Our beautifully decorated vacation rental is perfect for families, friends or couples. Enjoy the spacious backyard shaded by oak trees, where you can relax on the covered porch and watch wildlife. Conveniently located just 12 miles south of Austin, you can explore the Hill Country and nearby restaurants in South Austin and Buda. Experience a joyful retreat that promises both relaxation and adventure.

Nearby to Austin festivals and F1 Circuit of the Americas track. Located between two wedding venues: The Wild Onion Ranch and Humming Bird House. Two miles from the Vineyard at Chappel Hill. Located 15 minutes from downtown Austin, and 45 minutes from San Antonio, this property makes it convenient to visit surrounding hill county towns such as Buda, Kyle, Wimberly, New Braunfels, Gruene, San Marcos, Dripping Springs and Driftwood.

Bear Creek Cottage is a property with all new appliances and large back porch for outdoor dining. Perfect location to maximize your experience by being near Austin's museums, restaurants, music venues and nightlife as well as spending time in the countryside tubing, swimming, kayaking, hiking, fishing, etc.

We live on this same 6 acre property but we are not visible to the cottage, just in case you need anything. We also have another rental property called Onion Creek Cottage which is with walking distance but also not visible to the cottage. There is parking for 3 cars only in front of the cottage. If you need more parking give us a call. We don't allow events of any kind but there is a covered back porch with a table for dining for 6-8.

We can't wait to welcome you to your home away from home! Terry and Sue

Bear Creek Cottage was a perfect, cozy stay for my family! Owners Sue and Terry have wonderful taste, and the decor of the cottage was a perfect balance of modern and antique. Comfortable beds, soft towels, a nicely appointed kitchen, a great covered patio area, and easy access to the nifty shops/restaurants on Main St. in Buda makes Bear Creek Cottage the place to stay!

The kitchen had everything we needed. Shopping was 10-15 minutes away. The host messaged us. It was all good.The driveway was somewhat close to the intersection so you had to be careful pulling out,of course. Other than that it was a pleasant stay. The extra treat is seeing 3 Texas Long Horns one morning while I was drinking coffee on thedeck in the back.
