Thank you for staying with us. Glad the communication thing finally worked out! STR’s are different than hotels. Communication with Host weighs highly on acceptance of booking.
Many thanks for taking such good care of our little cabin. Welcome anytime!
A wonderful place to connect with nature. A refreshing way to recover from city life.

We realize unplugging from the world IS hard, but so necessary for our overall wellness. We are thankful we have the opportunity to share a little piece of solitude for recharging the human spirit and helping put life into prospective. Glad you enjoyed your stay.
This cabin is very "out in the country". The cabin is very nice inside. There is everything you will need for a country getaway. We really enjoyed spending time at this cabin.
What an amazing retreat! This cabin has captured my heart! Stayed here for a “workcation” to escape the crowds, detox from the city and get some computer work done. Host was amazing, and had prepared everything we needed and more.
WiFi was very good. Quiet, peaceful, restful. Hope to return very soon!

Aaron,
Thank you for such kind comments. You certainly had a taste of country living in a real life situation! Look forward to having you again!

We've stayed here multiple times and it's always a pleasant experience. This time Texas was freezing and they made sure we had fire wood to keep warm in the frigid conditions. You won't regret staying here at any time of year. Heat in the winter and air-conditioning. in the hot Texas summers.
We were looking for a quiet place to ring in the New Year, and this cabin was exactly what were looking for. This place is off the beaten path and has tons of peace and quiet. We enjoyed watching the stars in such a clear night sky, and sitting by the pond and listening to nature.
Our host Anna was super flexible and accomodating when my travel plans changed. She even made us (delicious) cookies! We are super grateful for her accomodations.
Definitely recommend staying in this cabin!

Daniel and Amanda,
It was great having you here! Glad we were able to accommodate the change in your schedule and our Texas weather cooperated in blessing you with time outdoors.
You are welcome here anytime!
Best regards,
Anna
This cabin is super relaxing, it is comfortable and rustic. The cabin is close enough to town but quite and peaceful like you are far out in the country side.
