Wonderful place to get away

We were back for a second visit and it didn't disappoint! The cabin is just as advertised and is clean, well organized, and situated on an amazing property with a beautiful view of the countryside. The best thing about it is you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere, but you are actually surrounded by lots of activities including the 290 wineries and Fredericksburg, Johnson City and Blanco, and Luckenbach. But our favorite activity is simply sitting on the deck and enjoying the peace and serenity. We'll be back!

An Amazing Find

Perfect for a couples getaway. The host does a wonderful job providing a few toiletries and refrigerator items, as well as towels and linens. The only things I brought, and needed to bring, were my own groceries. Quiet location out in the middle of nowhere, but also close enough to Highway 290 for anything you want to do or get. We loved our stay and would highly recommend others to experience the same.

Absolutely fantastic!

James was a great host and the property was just as expected. Secluded, quiet, and thoughtful details such as a nicely stocked kitchen and plenty of extras in toiletries. We even left one item and James handled getting it back to us in such a courteous manner! We will be back!

Fabulous

We had a great visit at the cabin. It was beautiful, so clean, comfy bed, and the outside porch area was so nice to sit on. We watched the sunrise, deer roaming around, and just relaxed. I can't wait to go back.

Great property!

Very nice place! Everything is as advertised. Pictures hardly do it justice. Beautiful views from the patio with plenty of deer around the house and all along the way. Very clean and well-maintained home. Secluded and the fire pit is a nice touch. James is very helpful and responsive. A+ property and owner. We will be back for sure!

Best Romantic Getaway

I can’t possibly say enough good things about this place We both needed a break, badly. This was the perfect getaway. We left feeling relaxed and replenished; in fact, we didn’t even want to leave! It a short drive to all of the of the vineyards, breweries, and distilleries. We had no problem getting a driver. We had some wonderful evenings under the stars. We love the decor and comfy furniture. The privacy was exactly what we wanted as well. The people in town were so friendly. The host was definitely one of the best hosts I’ve had. Attentive yet never violated our privacy nor made us feel uncomfortable. I love that it’s not a bunch of rentals crammed together, but actual solitude. We will definitely be back!!

Perfect Hill Country Get Away

Enjoyed this cute cabin for two located in the Hill Country, perfect for a short get away. Cabin has big windows allowed us to look out and watch the deer as they wandered by. The breakfast supplies James left us were much appreciated. The bed was comfortable and we enjoyed sitting on the deck, when it wasn’t raining. We came up for the peaches and wine, and some shopping in Fredericksburg. We will definitely be back for all of the above.

Beautiful Views

My wife and I came here for the first time over fathers day weekend. We like secluded places where we can relax in peace on a nice patio. This place definitely fit the bill. The place was clean and well kept. The patio and views were great. There was a nice breeze in the evening to make it very relaxing. We will be back for sure.

Absolute Repose = Absolute Peace

This was our second stay at this property, and this experience was just as wonderful as the first. James is an accommodating and responsive host. The location of the home overlooks a beautiful, serene pasture. The inside is spotless and everything is in such great condition. The bed is comfortable. The kitchen is well-appointed. The large deck/patio is a great place to relax and hang out. Thanks, James, for giving us a great place to stay!!

Absolute-ly Great!

My wife and I really enjoyed the cottage in all aspects: hospitality of Jack (host), cleanliness of the cottage, creature comforts, location - everything was just great. For a physically small cottage, there was more than enough room. The rooms were well laid out and the decorating was very homey and stylish. I was surprised at all the thought-out details; they obviously planned this cottage with us, the renters, in mind. From the customized welcome board to the wine glasses decorated and waiting to the (surprise!) toe heater in the bathroom to the extra wide deck - WOW! And the bed was so inviting and comfortable. We slept so well. Jack’s property was so quiet and located away from the surrounding towns. The cottage was situated on a little rise and you could see across the prairie and to the bigger hills to the east. We loved our visit in every way and are already planning our next visit! Jack was so communicative and made the whole experience so easy and welcoming. Thank you!! See you again!

Birthday getaway

The property was awesome. Very clean, perfect size for the two of us. The added touch of having breakfast supplies, water and sodas in the fridge when we got there was awesome and very appreciated. They also supplied travel versions of toiletries in the bathroom, which we didn't need this trip but love the idea just in case i didn't plan well. Loved the firepit and deck. The down side is it is a ways out in the country and outside of Fredericksburg but it did not damper our trip. The view and quiet makes up for the distance. We will have it on our list for next time !

Great Anniversary Getaway

This little cabin was perfect for just the two of us. Incredible starry nights on the patio lounging by the gas fire pit. We saw deer on the property and were close enough to enjoy the LBJ State park for the solar eclipse. The owner even left us solar eclipse glasses for viewing. How incredible is that! We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Hill Country Getaway

This little gem of a home was the perfect spot for our anniversary weekend getaway. The location is perfect for wine tasting at the different wineries along Hwy. 290 and super close to the town of Fredericksburg. The views from this home are beautiful. The home is very clean and the fridge is stocked with breakfast items and sodas and waters for your stay. We couldn’t of asked for more welcoming hosts, thank you Mr. James!

Date Nights

The views were gorgeous from the big porch and the house was extremely clean. The host went above and beyond with having everything prepared and having plenty of towels, toiletries, etc. If you are looking for a well kept date night getaway, this is a great stay! Just a couple minutes from the bar/dancehall in Albert and about 15-20 minutes from Fredericksburg
