This is our second time visiting this wonderful property. The owner, TJ, is absolutely great to work with. Easy to communicate with and a joy to talk to. The home is gorgeous! Very clean and quiet. After a day of visiting the towns, breweries, and wineries of the hill country it was a nice place to come back to for a relaxing evening. TJ provides some recommendations for things to do and restaurants in the area which is very helpful. It is also a short drive (25 minutes) to downtown Austin. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks TJ for everything!

Best long weekend ever!
The property listing had us so excited to stay there, but somehow the house still exceeded every expectation! It was beautiful, both the house and the land it was on. Gorgeous nature and views, exactly the quiet we craved, and still close to anything we wanted. Todd and Laura had thought of every detail that anyone staying there could possibly need. Wonderful hosts, exceptional house and property, the greatest weekend we could've dreamed up. Thank you so much!!

My wife and I visited the cabin for a much-needed weekend away and it was just an incredible experience. The cabin is beautiful, and immaculately kept. It was pristine, and so welcoming. The pictures online are great, but the cabin is even more beautiful in person, and the surroundings are serene and majestic.
The best part about our stay was the friendly conversation with our hosts. We came on Saturday as strangers and left on Monday as friends. TJ and Laura are wonderful property hosts and even better people!
For a beautiful, relaxing getaway that offers scenic surroundings and a perfect amount of privacy, combined with gracious and welcoming hosts, look no further - this is the place!
Five stars all the way around - we’ll be back!

Location, location, location
Location was key for us. This one was spectacular. You felt like you were in the
middle of nowhere, yet outside the property you were close to great eating spots. Our purpose for the visit was to hunker down and delve into Gods word. This was perfect because there were no distractions. The scenery was beautiful, the birds amazing at all the feeders and again the location perfect. We enjoyed meeting Todd and Laura and hope to one day go back just to visit them! True southern hospitality all the way around. You won't regret booking here.

Great city getaway
Todd was a great host. Very personable, no nonsense, and welcoming. This was the perfect place to get away from our down-town Houston home. The cabin is a guest house on Todd's property, which is big enough that you feel like you are in a remote place in the hills, but not really as you are still in the heart of Lakeway with many amenities just a couple of miles away. We loved it and would certainly come back again!
