Little Cottage in the Woods

This peaceful little cabin is nestled in a groove of oaks, facing a meadow and a meandering spring creek and a lighted fishing hole. It has a lot of privacy, an outdoor firepit, outdoor seating, trees, and a porch with a view of the meadow and creek. You may see an occasional grazing cow and there’s plenty of hiking, fishing and bird watching. Bring the old fishing pole. The cottage is extremely private, with a fresh water well, and state- of- the- art indoor heating and cooling.
The roof and ceiling of the cottage are repurposed with antique barn tin.
The cottage is furnished with old family antiques dating back to the late 1800’s. There’s a full kitchen with a beautiful, add-on, pioneer kitchen table. The kitchen is furnished with a Keurig and a microwave for those who really want to get back to basics, but not too far back! There is no wifi here. This place is not a hotel, but an old, refurbished cabin, smack dab in the middle of a working ranch! Don't be surprised if a cow greets you as you step outside the cabin for your morning coffee. We do not have fences around the cabin. Please be mindful of this if you bring your fuzzy babies along.
This cottage is a true get away. A rugged yet chic, old yet modern, unplugged place to retreat.
Come here and trim down, reprioritize and find your purpose again!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include an electric kettle and a dining table.

Escape from the world

I absolutely loved my quant cabin in the woods. Not only was it away from the hustle and bustle of the world but it made the perfect travel home to rescue my newest dog. The cabins floors are tile which immediately took away my anxiety of bringing a puppy in (thankfully she had no accidents). Lots of land to hike, puppy and I enjoyed seeing deer, a fox, a skunk, and several very friendly cows. The property had abundance of birds, frogs and crickets making natures music. My brother lives in San Antonio and my dad lives in Fischer Texas, it was the perfect middle location. I strongly encourage this rental to anyone that wants to unplug and get back to nature.

Fantastic Getaway

We absolutely loved this little cabin! It’s a perfect getaway spot and was so relaxing and cozy. The interior is homey and comfortable. And the view around the cottage is beautiful. If you enjoy wildlife or fishing, this is the perfect place for you. The fishing hole is great for catching small fish and we saw all kinds of wildlife around the property.

Like stepping back in history

I loved how simple the cabin was, but wasn’t so simple at the same time. The cabin makes you feel like you stepped back in time. My family loved the little fishing hole and the hikes were beautiful. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a peaceful getaway. The host was also very responsive and kind.

Peaceful Christmas Setting

The cottage was a perfect place for us to stay in Spring Branch. There were just 2 of us staying on the property, but our two daughters, a son in law and 4 granddaughters (6-12 years) visited several times. They loved the cattle, opening and closing gates and playing at the stream. The bed was comfortable and everything was as listed in the description. We hope to stay there often. .

Quiet little magical oasis

This place is beautiful. There's a little lagoon nearby so the temperature stays cooler here than the surrounding areas. The lagoon also brings all kinds of wildlife, like deer and especially interesting birds. There's plenty of space to rome the property, it's quiet and isolated so I played guitar a bunch. There are nice bars and grocery within 20 mins so it's easy to step out for a bite and drink. Not a lot of places like this to rent for a weekend, I recommend it if you're looking to get outta the city and relax.

Always a great time

Fourth time staying and we’ll keep coming back. Amazing location, quiet, peaceful, and clean. Everything we need and nothing we don’t. Always catch fish across the field and walked out to a whitetail doe 15 feet from the front door this morning. Can’t wait to come back next month!

Rustic solitude

Enjoyed the rustic solitude. The step ups and step downs within the cottage were difficult with my old hips. We delighted in the neighborly deer. Acorns on the tin roof added to the rustic enjoyment.
