We had an amazing stay! We enjoyed the banana bread. Only thing I would say is the toilet seat was small and I felt like I was inside th toilet. I know it's a little picky .. but everything else was wonderful! Slow down at night we had a cute armadillo cross the road to the tree house.

The Lodges at Lost Maples are centrally located to many activities in the area while still offering privacy and a quiet atmosphere, making it the perfect home base during your visit to the area. With only 5 cabins on 6 acres you don't have to worry about crowds. This luxury is the main reason people choose to stay at The Lodges. Located on RM 337, one of Texas' most scenic drives, is another perk. You can be in Leakey or Utopia within 15 minutes and Lost Maples State Natural Area is only 7 miles away. The infamous Garner State Park is only 18 miles away and every mile between here and there offers breathtaking views. Within 45 to 50 miles you'll also find Bandera, Kerrville, Concan and Uvalde as well as the Frio River, Sabinal River, Nueces River and Hill Country State Natural Area. Thank you for taking time to leave a review and we hope that you'll keep us in mind next time you visit the area searching for new adventures.

A lovely hideaway

Everything was beautiful here, so nice and quiet, a perfect place for our 15th anniversary. So close to Lost maples where the hiking is absolutely amazing and the view of the Sabina’s river from the overlook was gorgeous!!! And close to Garner as well which also has great hiking with beautiful views of the Frio River from the top of Old Baldy, what a sight to see! We had a wonderful stay here, it was just as advertised, Lovely!!

Quiet and tranquil spot

We needed a spot to “unplug” for a few days and this was perfect. We cooked, watched the stars and the bird feeder, read and took a hike in Lost Maples. It was nice to not hear traffic or my phone for a couple of days.

Quiet and Serene

We loved our stay at the Treehouse! It was exactly what we were looking for, to get out of the hustle and bustle of the city! It was so quiet and serene. The house was very clean and accommodating to our needs. I loved sitting on the porch in the morning and watching the birds come and go from the feeders as I enjoyed my coffee!

Weekend Getaway

We had a great experience staying at The treehouse property. The property was clean and very comfortable. We were able to get to Garner State Park, Los Maples and the winery easily. The front porch was nice to sit on and enjoy the evening sunset. Having a fireplace was just the right touch on a chilly night. Only suggestion is to add Wifi so if someone wants to do a work trip or weekend retreat they have access.

Peaceful Getaway

My wife and teen-age daughter booked the Treehouse cabin on a quick getaway to the Lost Maples region. Although I didn’t think about it when I booked it, the lack of Wi-Fi and cell service was one of the best things about traveling there with a 13 year old. Instead of spending her time glued to her phone, my daughter hiked, played board games and sat around and talked with my wife and I. What a gift! If you are looking for a beautiful location to get away from the crazy and reconnect with your family, this is the place!

David, your comments are why we continue to be "unplugged". We are honored to provide a place that brings families and couples together. Once in a while we will have guests request we get WIFI but we're happy to report that the majority appreciate the opportunity to reconnect with each other! Thank you for taking such good care of the cabin and we are beyond pleased to hear how much you enjoyed it!

Perfect!

We stayed 4 nights at the Treehouse, and it was perfect. The house was equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Jeralyn was very helpful and responsive to our questions. Loved seeing the birds at the birdfeeder. What a delightful touch. Close to Lost Maples Winery, Lost Maples Natural Area, and Garner State Park, it was perfect for our hiking adventures. We have Verizon, so we really were unplugged, but we loved the sound of silence.

We enjoyed our time here. We were able to unwind and get away from technology. We enjoyed the comfortable bed after a day at Garner. We had peace, enjoyed reading and were safe and secure during a big thunderstorm. Supplies were available to meet our needs. An enjoyable experience!

Scenic Comfortable Stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Treehouse cabin. The location was peaceful and the scenery was beautiful. The cabin was extremely well kept. We had everything we needed for our stay. The host has done a wonderful job at making her guests feel welcomed and at home with all the thoughtful details. I was amazed that our kids ages 13-6 never once missed the television or their devices. They enjoyed exploring the property. Bonus... The drive to the property was absolutely gorgeous!

My heart is full! I am so glad that you and your family enjoyed your time "unplugged" at the Treehouse. Time and again we receive confirmation that not having internet or cable TV is appreciate by many. In a crazy, busy world it is so good for the soul to unplug, slow down and just be in the moment. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your heartfelt review!

Well needed disconnect

The drive to this property was amazing I don't believe i've ever had to drive so long in order to try and get signal for my phone. this beautiful cabin was mostly a place to sleep right next to what we wanted to do. We came to Vanderpool in order to go to Lost Maples park and just enjoy some alone time. Despite being booked up for the weekend this location was silent. We managed to hear a breeze coming our direction that's how quite it was. the area was in a burn ban so we didn't use the fire ring out back but did appreciate hearing the squirrels skittering along the tin roof. this was the most relaxed i think i have ever been.

Much needed rest and relaxation

We loved staying at the Treehouse! Very clean and cozy. I started each day with coffee on the upper deck, a gorgeous view, quiet surroundings, and sweet little birds visiting the bird feeder. I loved the isolation with no wifi or cell service. We drove to Garner SP and Lost Maples SP for hiking. Very comfortable beds and all the basics were available (coffee pot, dishes, towels, etc). My teen boys liked the brownies and the ability to watch DVDs at night. The stargazing was wonderful too. Thank you for sharing your cabin with us.
