Gorgeous Views and only 13 mi to Lost Maples SNA, 22 mi to Garner State Park!

Keep it simple at this peaceful and centrally-located log home.

Awe-inspiring views, spectacular sunsets and plenty of space to relax and take it in. This is what "getting away from it all" is about. Secluded, yet close to a variety of activities, makes this THE place to be when you're wanting to escape!

Sunset Ridge is a 5 bedroom 2 bathroom log home that sits on 10 gorgeous acres surrounded by hill country views, majestic oak trees and a lot of peace and quiet!

Beautiful Getaway in Hill Country

Our stay was wonderfully relaxing from start to finish. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a breathtaking sunset view of the hills, setting the tone for our visit. Mornings were equally stunning, with incredible views that made sitting outside with a cup of coffee unforgettable. The home itself was cozy, the kitchen was well-equipped, and the location couldn’t have been more perfect for our visits to Lost Maples and Garner State Parks. Everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed their stay—highly recommend!

Cozy

The property is gorgeous inside and out. The night sky was magical! Plenty of seating in the back yard to stargaze. Nothing beats the sunset & hill country views in the back yard. The hot tub was therapeutic after hiking at Lost Maples State Natural Area nearby. Can’t wait for our next stay here!!

Amazing weekend getaway Home!Very special, sits high up on the ridges with absolutely stunning views — the sunsets were spectacular. Jayne was incredibly accommodating, and we loved all the thoughtful touches: the outdoor rockers and chairs, the hot tub, and that unbeatable view. The home was comfortable, and perfect for a peaceful quiet country getaway. So close to Lost Maples, we did daily hiking (hot tub definately came in handy after). It had everything we needed and more. We will definitely be back! Thanks Jayne.

The view off the back porch is beautiful with spectacular sunsets. It is about a 30 minute drive to Garner State Park or to float the Frio. The place is a little remote so make sure you bring any food you are planning to cook since the grocery store in Utopia is very small and closed around 6ish. The house was very comfortable for four couples, everyone had a large bedroom and a great outdoor space.

Awesome view!

This property is off the beaten path which is what makes it awesome. Very quiet with a spectacular view off the back porch. There were three couples in our group and plenty of space for everyone. The location is near Lost Maples State Park and Garner State park is just a short drive away, about 35 minutes. Before you head out be advised that the closest town is Utopia and it closes down early so make sure you bring food to cook or plan to eat an early dinner.

Fantastic Two-night Getaway with Friends and Family

We had a terrific trip for a couple of nights at this lovely property. It has rustic charm with an oversized kitchen table and big comfy sofas for everyone to lounge in. We enjoyed the hot tub on both nights and it was very clean and well maintained. The appliances, while a bit on the older side were perfectly functional and we were able to cook a few meals with the supplied pots and pans. The backyard is perched up in the hills overlooking the valley and we were blessed with beautiful sunsets with this view both nights. If you looking for a convenient location next to Lost Maples, this would be a great place to stay for a couple nights with friends and family.
