Unique and Beautiful

This place is one of a kind. Owners live on property, it's more like a bed n breakfast. So expect that. Rock house, beautiful scenery, just gorgeous. Would definitely stay again. Absolutely a 100% southern hospitality.

Beautiful, quiet setting; comfy cabin

My husband and I wanted a comfy place to relax during our 5-day hike-the-hill-country get away. Charming stone cabin with lots of windows and porch that overlook huge expanse of undeveloped tree covered land. The kitchen is well-equipped as is the whole cabin. Comfy bed. The cabin is perched on a limestone bluff. Stairs lead to creek access. Many scenic parks are a short drive away!

Amazing as always

We have stayed here 4 times and will continue to do so for as long as they’ll have us. Our expectations for a quiet, pleasant experience are consistently met. The location is perfect for relaxation and adventure. The real gem of the property is the Boyds; you’ll leave as family.

Very beautiful and secluded property great for getting away and just relaxing. The wrap around porch offers amazing views. Property owners, David and Pattie, are close by if you need anything; however, we did not. We would definitely consider staying there again.

Amazing host / Getaway

Dave and Patti were amazing hosts and have the cutest place. We were greeted upon arrival and taken to the house. Dave was very thorough with explaining everything about the house as well as the area and things to do/go see. Once settled, we sat on the porch in awe of all the humming birds. Dave said this was nothing compared earlier in the spring! We had such a great time and Dave and Patti are a big reason for that! Will definitely be back to stay again

Love this place is very spacious and has a very beautiful views to the hills . The most beautiful thing is the hummingbirds flying in the front porch. It was breath taking I could stay all day starting at them . We definitely will be back soon.

Idyllic retreat from the city

Our stay was wonderful. David and Patti were friendly and gave us great advice on sights and restaurants. The house was cooled to a comfortable temperature and cold water in the fridge. The hummingbirds hovered around the feeders and I got to feed the goats with David. It was an idyllic retreat from the city. Beautiful experience all round!

Lovely, peaceful cabin.

We had a great post Christmas family weekend. The cabin was peaceful and cozy and felt far away from the hustle and bustle of daily life but was very close to Reimer Ranch, Hamilton pool and Westcave. A little further but still very convenient, we visited Pedrenales SP and Longhorn Caverns SP. I especially enjoyed sitting on the deck and at daybreak and dusk and taking in the gorgeous view. My kids liked the staircase to the creek below goats and appreciated the WiFi and Roku😛

Great Hosts, Great Cabin

This cabin was exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a place close to nature where I could have some isolation but also some modern amenities. The creek below was a real treat. Parts of the creek were a little more challenging to get to than just walking down the steps, but definitely worth the effort. Very peaceful. I would definitely recommend this place for everyone. It's proximity to other natural attractions was also a big plus. Even though the hosts are on the property, they were very nice and attentive to my needs and gave me plenty of space. Their response time prior to my visit was very prompt , including reminder messages. They were really great hosts.

About the host

Hosted by Patti Boyd

Host profile image
David Boyd, retired from UT Austin. Patti Boyd, semi-retired from self-employment. We both have lived in Austin area for about 50 years, and have lived at this property since 1995.

Why they chose this property

It is incredibly beautiful, truly, and a very natural area. Austin seems to grow daily, but our place here, only 30 miles from downtown, feels a world away. It is very a peaceful, relaxing place to be, a real getaway from the hustle and bustle.

What makes this property unique

The view from the cabin is phenomenal. Sitting on the porch and relaxing in the swing or glider and enjoying the view of Cypress Creek canyon 120 feet below is a mind-altering experience. It really takes you out of yourself for a bit. If you're a bit adventurous, you can climb down the custom-built iron staircase and trail to an incredibly beautiful deck built on a boulder overlooking Cypress Creek. It feels very much like a giant treehouse, with the sound of the falling water running down below.
