Escape to the Emerald Gem, a peaceful wooded retreat nestled beneath mature oak trees in the Potter's Creek area, just five minutes from Canyon Lake. It's the perfect place to unwind, reconnect with nature, and slow down. Breathe in the scent of cedar, enjoy the native Texas landscape, and experience the beauty of the Hill Country.

You'll be less than an hour from Pedernales Falls, Blanco, Wimberley, Fredericksburg, and many of the region's most scenic rivers, wineries, and attractions.

The space
One of the most striking features of the Emerald Gem House is its native Hill Country garden. Shaded by mature oak trees, you can stroll along the concrete pathway and enjoy a landscape designed to preserve the area's natural beauty. Texas Mountain Laurel trees sprout naturally from fallen seeds, while native plants provide year-round interest and attract butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and other beneficial pollinators. Rather than a traditional manicured lawn, the garden offers a peaceful, low-maintenance habitat that reflects the character of the Texas Hill Country.

Relax on the covered porch, listen to music, or gather on the spacious shaded deck next to the charcoal grill.
In the kitchen we have snacks, and a Keurig® coffee machine,
You'll also have access to whatever is in the fridge. You will find cups, glasses, pots, pans, and utensils in the pantry and drawers. The pizza pan is ready in the oven. We provide shampoo, body wash, linens, etc. Most everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible!
If you bring pets, please note that even though you may include them in the booking, you still need to add the fee.
