About this property

Secluded cabin 20 minutes from Colorado Bend State Park. Small dogs only.

One bedroom rustic cabin with a queen bed plus one double blowup and one twin blowup in the loft.
The Queen bed has sheets while there are additional sheets for the blowups in the trunk. Bath towels are provided. Notice that there are no additional cleaning fees.

Enjoy the privacy and solitude in the one room cabin. Baby goats and chickens on site. Please check under tires before moving.

Why come to a tiny cabin on a Nature Preserve? Enjoy the wildlife. Disconnect. Pet the goats and horses. Hike the acreage. Swim in a filtered pool built in 1925.

Walk the Antelope Creek Road that connected Fort Phantom Hill Road to Red Bluff Ferry on the Colorado River.

We will provide freshly laundered bed spreads. The cabin will be ventilated before guest arrival. We provide plates, flatware, pots and pans and serving bowls. There are extra sheets in the trunk if you need them. Please ask if we missed something you need.

Please read our Release of Liability before booking. When the payment is processed, the lessee has agreed to the terms of the Release.

Enjoy the Stars and focus on Spring!

In addition please text me upon arrival and departure. We are receiving unwanted solicitation calls, thus we don’t answer unknown numbers.

Cabin is small and cozy, just what we wanted, so peaceful and quiet. Enjoyed watching the horses and goats every morning and night when they visited the cabin. Took long walks around the property taking in the wildlife and beautiful landscape. Hostess was so nice and friendly, she gave us a tour of her beautiful property. Great place for a few days of rest and relaxation.

11 out of 10!! Many thanks to the hosts for providing this amazing and clean place to get away with our dog! The relaxation was almost instant when arriving and the cabin had all we needed, including a comfy bed and soft towels. My husband enjoyed grilling outside both evenings and I’m definitely coming back for some more pool time. Best part? Flora and fauna galore!! Honored to learn more of the history of the land - thank you for sharing The Nest.

The cabin was clean, cozy, and very well taken care of. Inside, you wouldn't guess it's over 100 years old! Check-in was super easy, just let the hosts know via text that you've arrived. Past that, it was peaceful, which is exactly what my partner and I were looking for. Between the animals on site (the horses are GORGEOUS, and the goats are so curious!) and the peacefulness of the seclusion, this is definitely going on my list of "Must Return". Thank you so much, Beth and Tom! You guys were wonderful hosts, and I hope to be back!

My husband and I wanted a getaway from DFW, this place was perfect! No TV/Wifi which was exactly what we needed. There is still good cell service so you’re not completely off the grid. The cabin is so clean and has everything you need. It was oddly chilly during our stay (Texas…) but we were still able to enjoy nature walks and the super friendly goats and horses. We will be bringing our 2 daughters for our next visit.

This is my second stay at this cabin. If you want a remote place surrounded by nature, this is it. The small goats grazing nearby add to the serenity of the experience. There is a very unique swimming pool for those that come during warmer weather as well. I highly recommend staying here.

About the host

Hosted by Beth Griess

Host profile image
My great-grandfather purchased the ranch. My husband and I are the stewards and invite you to enjoy the serenity and peace that the quiet hill country has to offer.

Why they chose this property

Located one hour forty minutes from Austin or 11 miles from San Saba,Tx. We are also 20 minutes from the Colorado State Park in Bend, Tx.

What makes this property unique

For those that like to cross country bike in the Texas Hill Country, this is a wonderful stop over.
Let you kids play with goats or collect fresh eggs.

It's 40 minutes from Gorman Falls, an unrealized gem in the Texas Parks.
