About the host

Hosted by Tom McEntire

After spending 37 busy years working in Houston, in 2020 Tom and Becky retired to their hill country ranch in Blanco County. Blessed with abundant wildlife, gorgeous sunsets and the natural beauty of the Texas Hill Country, their ranch also offers a quiet solitude not found in the big city. Tom and Becky also enjoy chauffeuring their dogs and grand-dogs around the ranch.

Why they chose this property

Middle Creek Cabin is the perfect place to slow down and relax. Spend your days on the ranch swimming at the creek, fishing in the private lake, lounging by the fire pit and hiking on roads and trails located just steps away from the cabin. Middle Creek Cabin is centrally located with quick access to HWY 290. The cabin is near local wineries, distilleries, breweries, natural areas and historic towns of Fredericksburg, Luckenbach, Johnson City, Dripping Springs and Wimberly. Middle Creek Cabin is the perfect cabin rental for mid-sized groups ages 30+ seeking a true Texas Hill Country getaway.

What makes this property unique

The traditional German-styled cabin has a wrap-around porch, and the inside of the cabin features vaulted ceilings and a spacious living area. The two bedrooms and a loft offer comfortable accommodations for up to eight guests. Fishing, hiking, wildlife viewing, or just relaxing make the privacy of Middle Creek Cabin a great stay in the Texas hill country.
