Beautiful Hill Country Get Away

This little cabin was so unique and so quaint we actually just fell in love with it and want to build one just like it on our property. The owners were fabulous. The amenities were fabulous and it just felt so cozy. We loved sitting out on the patio, watching the birds in the wildlife we saw all kinds of birds cardinals we saw roadrunner also it was so neat, thank you again for fabulous hosting and a wonderful place to stay. We will definitely be back.

Gem in the Rough

It was a beautiful little slice up and away. The surrounding Trump-land wasn’t ideal, but nevertheless the property itself was lovely and secluded and a nice spot to unwind for my birthday otherwise.

Beautiful little property

We stopped for groceries before we got to Leakey. The barndo is cute, just be careful on the drive out because the road is gravel and without 4 wheel drive it's a bit tricky. We almost couldn't get out in the minivan. Otherwise cute little area and beautiful views.
