Property Location: Situated on the back 4 acres of our 12-acre property, approximately 138ft behind our home, with a picturesque pasture view. Our home faces west, while the cabin faces north, ensuring privacy for both guests and hosts. Access to the cabin is via a separate road, ensuring your peace and privacy.

Note: Hunting is not permitted on the property.

Please keep in mind that you're renting a cozy cabin in the beautiful Texas Hill Country, where encounters with wildlife like snakes, deer, and raccoons are possible. If you decide to explore the four acres surrounding the cabin, we advise staying on designated trails and avoiding tall grass areas. Enjoy the serenity of nature, but stay vigilant and be cautious when driving at night, especially as deer tend to roam near roadsides.

Additionally, being in the countryside, you might come across various bugs, scorpions, and spiders. While we regularly employ pest control measures as well as personally treating the cabin in between, it's still possible to see some pest and bugs indoor. Rest assured, we do our best to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

Most Memorable Mother/Daughter Weekend
The girls and I chose this precious cabin and planned our weekend activities afterwards! Kelli and Will were the most gracious hosts - the cabin had everything we needed, was so comfortable and relaxing! The views were outstanding. Seeing deer and wildlife roam about added to our relaxing weekend. We highly recommend this sweet cabin for any one or group that wants to get away! It's the perfect distance from surrounding touristy spots!

Kelli and Will’s cabin is immaculately clean, beautifully decorated, and absolutely lovely. We had a couple of unfortunate accidents and insisted we have a relaxing stay. Kelli is an amazing hostess (5⭐️). (We are sure will is too but had no interaction with him.). We would go again.

Kelli was a wonderful host. She truly thought of everything. This cabin is great for a peace and quiet get away. Great for star gazing and sitting around the fire pit. Full kitchen was a real plus. Also allowing one dog made it a true family vacation! Thank you so much.

Will & Kelli are fantastic, the cabin was well appointed and comfortable. It's a terrific spot on high elevation that was perfect for watching two big thunder-storms roll in on two different evenings. Also great for star-gazing and watching the 'super' moon rise during the time we were there. Will be back. The Longhorn Cafe in Harper was great for breakfast & lunch too!

Starry Nights and Tranquil Days
I had a most enjoyable time relaxing at a lovely place in the hill country of Texas. I visited Will and Kelli's Vrbo with my 90-year old dad and my nine month old dog. We loved the quiet of the environment and Taka loved to see/smell/dream of the deer wandering about. The outside of the cabin was basic; the inside, welcoming and nicely decorated. The pictures do it justice. All my cooking needs were accommodated and the cabin had a well-stocked pantry. Of the few questions we had, Will and Kelli were right on it. I most enjoyed sitting at the outside table with my dad and my dog and watching the spectacularly colorful sunsets. We were truly lucky when a rain shower left us with a double rainbow, two perfect arcs stretching from horizon to horizon, its beauty unparalleled. Such a treat for my dad! Highly recommend for a peaceful setting and gracious hosts.

Peaceful and private cabin
Communication with the hosts was easy and efficient. The hosts provided excellent directions and instructions, resulting in an effortless check in/out process. The cabin was spotless, well stocked, and absolutely adorable. Definitely more spacious than I had anticipated. There was a great assortment of DVD’s, books, board games, magazines, and a binder detailing nearby restaurants and shopping. By far, this is the absolute best VRBO that my husband and I have stayed at. The entire cabin is immaculate, organized, and comfortable. The cabin has a great fenced in yard with manicured green grass, outdoor table and chairs to enjoy watching the deer, birds, and butterflies. It was so relaxing and peaceful to enjoy our morning coffee outside while watching the wildlife and all the beautiful wildflowers. The sunrises and sunsets are just beautiful here. The thoughtfulness, attention to detail, and love that the hosts have put into the cabin and property as well as the privacy makes this place so special and serene. We highly recommend this VRBO! Thank you, for a wonderful stay.
