The property completely exceeded our expectations!!! The atmosphere was tranquil and the wildlife abundant! Loved the layout of the cottage and the antiques were a welcome touch. Could not have asked for a better weekend away from city life and we wish we could live there all the time!

Once receiving check in instructions and directions all was great. Directions were spot on and there was no check in process needed, followed the instructions as given and led right up to the cabin. Take along a wagon if you are a beer drinker like I am, the walk from parking to the cabin is a bit rough carrying a 48qt ice chest fully loaded, but then again, I ain't no spring chicken. The cottage had everything needed and more. Enjoyed the birds in the morning as well as the Axis deer and white tails. We got some really good pics of white tails 15 yards from the porch. Fishing wasn't the best but it is September and 100+ degrees out. Working at STX Beef Co in south Texas and always in cold temps, I ask myself, was the fishing bad or was the temperature just not to your liking? No TV or Internet was not an issue, the cabin had plenty of games and puzzles to keep you busy. Phone service was great and listened to XM radio while inside playing cards and dominos enjoying the cool room. Great place Shannon, thank you for the experience.

Very accurate description and enjoyable stay. Was able to enjoy the peace of outdoors in a nice relaxing cabin, close to Natural Bridge Caverns and other local good eats.

We had the best 3 nights in this cabin. It’s so cozy! Has everything you need for an amazing stay! We saw so many deer, an armadillo, and a fox. We bought a little fishing pole at the Wal-Mart and caught a ton of little fish. We put them back, so we can catch them again! We will definitely stay here again! Thank you for such a fantastic stay!

We loved every minute of our time spent at the cabin. The deer came out a couple times, it was so peaceful, so beautiful! If we are in the area, we will definitely book it again. Good directions, easy checkin and out, excellent communication. Thank you so much!

Exactly as advertised. Great spot to unwind for the weekend.

Property is absolutely beautiful. Teaming with wild life. Property is amazing. Cabin was super clean & very cozy. Total privacy. Loved staying in the cabin in the woods.

Really quiet location but not far from 281, we had an amazing time out in nature and we were close to all the local activities, would stay again!

A very serene, peaceful country setting. We woke to the sounds of nature. No neighbors close by, no automobile sounds, just quiet. Close to Anhalt Dance Hall, which was our reason for visiting. Shopping facilities close by, however we utilized the ammenities at the cottage and cooked our own meals. We enjoyed our stay immensely and plan to visit again in the future.

Beautiful meadow with wildflowers, lovely one rm cabin with indoor facilities. Complete kitchenette with ample room for two, but will sleep up to four. Any birders should listen for the canyon wren with it’s unique descending trill. Thanks to the owners for making such a lovely place available for the weary traveler.

I absolutely loved my stay. The property was serene and beautiful. I felt like time slowed down here, in the best way. It was heavenly. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again :)

What a great place! Quiet and secluded, lots of wildlife to see, including a sweet little fox who hung out with us each night at the fire pit. The kitchen was stocked with more utensils than I have in my own kitchen, which made cooking for the family super easy. Fished during the day and everyone caught several fish. Comfy, cozy, and best of all, super clean. Can't wait to book again for another stay.

We loved our stay. The location is great, lots of beautiful deer. We used the fire pit and had an amazing experience with a beautiful gray fox that came up for some snacks, he likes marshmallows and turkey sandwiches so be prepared. Swim, float or kayak the Guadalupe river at Nichols landing right around the corner from the cabin. The hostess is very communicative, accommodating and hospitable. Thank you for sharing your homestead with us.

We came to town for a wedding with our 2 small children it was perfect for them to be able to run around and have fun!

Rustic cabin on a wonderful property. Great fishing, exploring, and relaxing.

Rented out This cabin for me and my wife. We came here to celebrate our 7 year’s anniversary and it was the best anniversary so far. This is exactly what we needed some time away! So quiet and peaceful! We even brought our pups and they loved it! ❤️while being here we saw so many cardinals in the morning! I would definitely come again! Everything was perfect with this cabin❤️

Extremely clean, QUIET, all amenities for kitchen and outdoor cooking, A perfect retreat for writers, artist or people who need a respite from life. We would stay again, and the hostess is sweet and helpful thank you

This little spot is lovely for a weekend getaway, and now I want to come for a longer stay! The property is beautiful, the cabin is exactly as described, and the sights and sounds of nature at this place can’t be beat. The location is great if you want a secluded vacation, but also close enough to restraunts and things to do up and down highway 281. Would definitely love to stay here again!

Little well equipped quaint cabin.

This was our annual "take the grandkids on a trip so their parents can celebrate their anniversary" adventure with our 16 and 18 year old grands. The house is located on a working cattle ranch. To access it, you first have to drive through typical Texas Hill Country land on a well maintained gravel road, passing grazing cattle, lots of deer, and occasional grey fox. I'm not sure when the house was built, but it has obviously been updated (and nicely). Despite temps dropping into the high 20's the first night, we were all warm and cozy. Although there is no wifi or internet connection, our tech savvy grands had a blast teaching us how to play "Exploding Kittens" (no cats were harmed during the game...). We all discovered that wifi is overrated. We roasted marshmallows over the fire pit and stargazed for hours. If you're looking for a place that's a bit unusual but fun, this is it.

My girlfriend and I had an amazing time here. The cabin was in great condition, and came stocked with all the little things you tend to forget. There’s lots of open, quiet space, and at night you can see all the stars. My favorite part was having my own personal creek to fish! Was there 2 days and caught 12 bass, with 6 in one hour on my last day. Was told there’s a 12lb catfish in there so will definitely be coming back to try my luck! Highest recommendation, will be coming back as soon as I can.

This place was an excellent place to escape the city life of Houston. There was no loud cars driving by, no police sirens, no noisy neighbors, nothing but the sound of the wind blowing through the trees and the river running strong. If you don’t mind simplicity and are looking for a place to disconnect, this is the spot for you.

Great place for family. Will be coming back

I needed a mommy reset and this cabin and property couldn’t have been anymore perfect. Everything was absolutely perfect! I think I just found my home away from home!

My husband and I celebrated our 1st Anniversary here. It was peaceful, quiet and the perfect getaway. It was wonderful and we will be back! This may even be “our” spot.

It was a wonderful stay. I would recommend it to anyone. Just one little thing. Take your own washcloths and hand and kitchen towels. That’s no furnished. No big deal just a helpful hint. Teresa

Best 4 days I've had in years! I even had an armadillo visit me when I was attempting to fish. The cabin was perfect for me and my pups. I felt very much at home when I walked in the door. I do plan on coming back when I can.

Not only is this place is a lovely, private getaway for a weekend but served us for two months as our "home" while our house was under construction. I'd recommend this peaceful getaway to anyone looking for a weekend or long stay. Thanks Shannon for your hospitality!

Nice little getaway. Although the creek and gaudelupe rivers were down we still enjoyed the fishing out back behind the cabin. We will be back hopefully when the rivers are up for some kayaking.

Simply yet so peaceful and comfortable, Definitely will stay again

Pictures of property does not do it justice! It would be hard to capture all of the great things at this cottage. The wildlife was extraordinary. We saw over 50+ deer, several armadillos, a few foxes, lots of cardinals and other birds and one cute racoon! I quietly (the day before i made too much noise and scared away the deer) sat on the porch one morning (5:30am) and watched the deer graze in the field. There is a creek directly across from cottage that has a bunch of young fish that will hit your line as soon as you throw it in. I had a blast fishing. The cottage was nice and comfortable and had just about anything you needed to cook a nice meal or just heat up your leftovers. Speaking of leftovers, we went to Gruene River Grill and had an excellent dinner. You've got to try the Jalapeno Crawfish Chowder and the Jalapeno Mandarin Pork Chops! That meal was excellent! While we were there we went to see the Bats at Natural Bridge Caverns at the Braken Bat Cave. It was well worth the money and was only about 20-30 minutes from cottage. We also toured the Natural Bridge Caverns. If you want to get away from it all, I suggest you go here. Very peaceful and secluded.

What a great place to stay! If you are looking to get away this is the place for you. Easily accessible and owner is very good with communication.
