Rustic, relaxing retreat
We specifically found a place for the Thanksgiving weekend that was quite and secluded for rest and catching up on work. Rick's Comfort Cabin fit the bill.
The bed is comfortable, the view is outstanding and the quiet is unmatched. Do bring plenty of your own food... there is coffee, but not a lot of other extras. Comfort, TX is a small town with not many restaurants and one small grocery store. The drive up to the cabin is winding and partly a gravel road, so not the best road for nighttime travel. There are 2 very good wineries nearby.
Even though we were in the country, the cable and internet worked very well.

Peaceful Setting with Amazing Views
This cabin is absolutely adorable. It feels like an old country cabin but is new and has all the modern conveniences, even an air conditioner in the master bedroom. The views are spectacular and the roads around the mountain provided plenty of exercise to run with my dog. The owner's were very conscientious in calling to make sure everything was okay. I spent most of my time in the breezeway relaxing and taking in the rolling countryside views. The place is decorated in a way that captures the spirit of days gone by....bird feeders in the trees...plenty of outdoor areas to just relax and take in the natural surroundings...Loved my time at this cabin. Thanks for sharing this special place!

Peace and Quiet
Overall we were happy with the seclusion and peacefulness of the cabin. The view is spectacular. We enjoyed seeing the wild life and exploring the property. The owners were wonderful about getting back with us quickly. The place was clean. The cabin is a good 8 miles from the main road. So make sure you have what you need to avoid multiple trips. The only couple of things we were not expecting was there is no a/c and the ants. There is a swamp cooler, but it did not cool the cabin down. Sleeping was tough with the heat. We did open the windows since it was cooler outside than in. That helped. The other was the many ants throughout the kitchen and bedroom. We even kept our dogs dry food in the fridge. It is a great place to bring a dog. We didn't have to worry about him getting out. If it could have been cooler, and I had ant spray with me, it would've been perfect. Definitely worth going to, especially during cooler months.

Loved the layout of the property
I LOVED this cabin! The views of the hill country are phenomenal , the stars at night were absolutely mezmorizing. This cabin is so unique yet configured in such a way that no matter what part of the cabin you are in the view is never obstructed. The bed was very comfortable, the water pressure in the shower was great, most cabins you get a 'trickle' this one had a nice sized shower head , plenty of really hot water . The fully equipped kitchen was a plus 👍🏼
We saw a variety of brightly colored birds non stop , a wild turkey and a very loving and friendly cat would come by visit briefly . This cabin was very peaceful and stress relieving . I especially liked being gated in for privacy and safety reasons. I loved this cabin so much I posted it on social media and everyone was impressed, the pictures on the website do not do it justice , I will definitely be a return visitor and suggest it to all with no hesitation or reservations .

Girls Weekend
Every year my two best friends and I plan a girls weekend. This year we decided to go to nature. This cabin surpassed all of our expectations. The kitchen was stocked with donation food left from other guests, pots and pans, and all of the kitchen utensils once could ask for. Even though we had storms during our stay, we made the most of it and played cards in the kitchen.During our stay we ventured to Fredericksburg where we took the 290 wine tour shuttle to the listed vineyards. All in all, we had a lovely stay and the views are phenomenal. I would love to come back for another stay.

Easter Weekend Getaway
Peace, quiet, secluded and pure serenity in the beautiful Hill Country. We stayed 4 nights, the cabin was perfect loved the decor, design and layout, especially the open breezeway. The views overlooking the valley were absolutely beautiful, thoroughly enjoyed lounging around, walking the trails to the creek and warming up with an evening fire in the fire pit. We also had a nice fire one morning in the pot belly stove in the cozy bedroom and our two labs enjoyed the freedom to run, roam and explore. Hope to come back in the fall and stay longer. If your looking for a truly unique and quiet place to escape it all Rick's Comfort Cabin is it!!!

Stars at Night
The Comfort Cabin is a thoughtfully designed hideaway where you can enjoy privacy, great views, and wonderful night skies. The cabin is unusual in that it is built in the "dog-trot" style, with a breezeway separating the bedroom and the large well-furnished kitchen. A loft with a queen sized bed sits over the breezeway, so the two sides are connected. The loft is accessible by ladder only; the cabin would sleep four agile adults or two adults and two teenagers. Be prepared to drive about 8 miles from the highway to get to the cabin on a winding hilly road, half of which is unpaved but relatively smooth. The drive is scenic, with a winery along the way, but it is not a quick drive. We recommend staying here if you enjoy being in a somewhat secluded space designed for enjoying the outdoors on lovely stone porches part of the time. Improvements we would like are better lighting throughout the house and a small stand or shelf in the bathroom for personal items. Do not expect shops in Comfort to be open after 5 pm, and almost all restaurants are closed on Sun.evening and Monday. You can drive to Kerrville for dinner, less than 20 miles away.

Extreme Value and Wonderful Getaway
Took my boyfriend and my dog here for the weekend and we all loved it. Dog had a blast being a dog and getting some real freedom to roam for hours. Place is very private and well-kept. You have everything you could possibly need and you get to see what it is like to live off the grid. Very inspiring place to stay for those who truly love the outdoors, peace and quiet and green country living. The owner did a great job on the place. It was better than what we were hoping for. The pictures don't do it justice.

Private. Unique and inspiring
I hesitate to make my thoughts public, because in telling how wonderful our getaway was, we chance others competing for booking dates in the future.
The property is completely private, if you don't want to share your time, you won't have to.Any and everything you could possibly want is there, it seemed a tradition of previous guests leaving something for others to share. There were frozen foods, seasoninhs, pancake mix and syrup, even a few bottles of wine. We "gifted" a little larger electric coffee maker ourselves.
The layout if the dog trot cabin was adorable and fun.
The owner thought of everything and the efforts to spare the environment are progressive and challenge me to do better. We originally planned for 2 nights, but decided to stretch it one more night, and I am so appreciative that Rick was kind enough to allow that.
We have stayed in several other lodgings in the area, but for complete privacy and relaxation this place will be our first choice.

Incredibly unique cabin
We were fortunate enough to spend a weekend in this incredible cabin. The unique layout is fantastic, all the french doors help blend the indoor and outdoor wonderfully. The finishes are fantastic, particularly the woodwork. Our favorite part though was the low-impact nature of the cabin. It is designed to be incredibly sustainable and part of the surrounding nature rather than dominating it. The property is beautiful and the location is excellent for exploration of the surrounding hill country. Our dogs loved it too!

Hill Country Retreat
We have stayed at many cabins in Texas and other States, but Rick's Comfort Cabin is the best! The cabin was absolutely gorgeous, so beautifully designed and furnished. The cabin was already so well stocked with coffee and other food supplies. The kitchen has everything needed for meal preparations. The bedroom was cozy and so comfortable.
We loved being able to walk along the trails already laid out and enjoy the magnificent
scenery and outdoors. If you are a nature lover, you will be in heaven.
Rick has provided a truly beautiful place to visit and we would definitely recommend this cabin to everyone who wants to experience a great trip to the Texas Hill Country.

Wonderful get away to celebrate me wife's birthday
My wife and I visited Rick's Comfort Cabin to celebrate her 34th birthday. This place is amazing and we had a wonderful weekend. The cabin is peaceful and relaxing. We spent our evenings using the outside fire place, grilling, reading our books, playing cards and enjoying a glass of wine or beer!
The cabin is located close to some great attractions and during the day we visited Fredriksburg, Kerrville, Enchanted Rock for a day of hiking and the Moonshine Distillery in Comfort.
The cabin has wood, coffee, microwave, stove, cutlery etc so we didn't need to bring anything other than food to grill or cook and beverages. There is a bit of a slow drive as the roads turn into dirt, so we loaded up from the store so we weren't making multiple trips.
It was the perfect long weekend get a way for us (very romantic!!!) and we had an amazing time. Would thoroughly recommend this cabin.

Secluded Memorial Day Weekend
Everything exceeded our expectations! The location was secluded but only a 30 minute drive to Fredericksburg and its wineries/breweries/distilleries. The views were great, the stars were bright, and the owners were available 24/7 to answer questions or offer help (they contacted the electric company to resolve a power outage at 2 AM). We'd definitely stay here again!

Perfect getaway!
You might think below freezing weather with a constant drizzle would make for a not so fun weekend, but Rick's cabin was the perfect retreat. We brought a few groceries and made dinner the first night. It's got everything you need to do some cooking. The next day, we bundled up and took our dog on a long walk/hike through the property. She was in heaven getting to run free, chase after squirrels (unsuccessfully), and bound through the forest. We went into town for dinner the next night, but really enjoyed the cozy fire when we got home. Can't wait to come back when the weather is nice to enjoy the hammock, grill, have dinner on the patio, and drink wine around the fire pit. Thanks for hospitality Rick!
