About this property
Cozy nature cabin 30 minutes from Waco - pool-hot tub, views, fire pit, grill!
Welcome to the A-Frame Hillside Retreat in Valley Mills, Texas, just 30 minutes from Waco. This charming tiny cabin offers a serene escape surrounded by stunning Hill Country views. Our cabin’s A-frame architecture adds character and provides a cozy atmosphere with abundant natural light. Enjoy the outdoor deck complete with a soaking tub. There’s also a fire pit area for cooler evenings, a private stock tank pool for warmer days (June-October), and a hot tub (November-May) . Perched on a hill, the cabin
offers seclusion while still being close to town, giving you the best of both worlds. Amenities:
• Outdoor Bliss: Take in the breathtaking Hill Country views from the spacious outside deck.
• Relaxation: Soothe your cares away in the outdoor soaking tub, perfect for stargazing.
• Campfire Stories: Cozy up around the fire pit for unforgettable evenings.
• Kitchenette: The cabin features a convenient kitchenette with a Keurig, coffee maker, small microwave, essential dishes, and flatware.
• Comfy Living: Enjoy a comfortable shower, a small dining table, and a California king bed positioned under a huge A-frame window, allowing you to wake up to stunning vistas.
• Air Quality: Breathe easy with an air purifier, and stay comfortable year-round with air-conditioning and heat.
Local Attractions:
• Discover the Valley Mills Vineyard, a hidden gem for wine enthusiasts.
• Sip your morning brew at the local coffee shop at Valley Brew.
• Savor mouthwatering barbecue at Helberg Barbecue.
• Explore the charm of downtown Valley Mills with its unique shops.
• Take a short drive to Tonkawa Falls for a refreshing outdoor adventure.
• Enjoy fun water activities at nearby Lake Waco.
Extra Perks:
• “The A-Frame” is located in the same town where Chip and Joanna Gaines film their TV shows in their renovated mill.
• You’re close enough to Waco (just 30 minutes away) to explore its attractions but still enjoy the small-town vibe and escape the hustle and bustle.
Nearby Excursions:
Explore other local small towns outside of Valley Mills, including Crawford, McGregor, Clifton, Meridian, and Glen Rose, home to Dinosaur Valley State Park. Please Note:
• While this cozy retreat offers tranquility, there is a nearby train that sounds its horn when coming through day and night. (Horn patterns last about 10 seconds each.) We provide earplugs for your comfort while sleeping, or feel free to bring your preferred noise cancelling earplugs.
• “The A-Frame” comfortably accommodates up to two adults.
• No pets allowed, and this is a smoke-free property.
• Only registered guests are allowed on the property. Contact the host for any exceptions.
• The cabin is situated in a friendly neighborhood, so you may occasionally hear the sounds of neighbors enjoying their own piece of Hill Country paradise.
