Our stay was the perfect R&R getaway. My husband and I loved sitting on the quiet front porch and watching the deer in the morning and evening. It was such a relaxing weekend!

Beautiful and Family-Friendly Cabin Stay!

Our family of 6 booked this cabin for my father’s birthday and Labor Day weekend, and we were so happy we did! Everyone agreed that we would love to return, maybe in the winter to really bask in the aesthetic of the cabin. Very clean, easy check-in/check-out, and beautiful deer outside. It was great to comfortably relax and have the place to ourselves. Would definitely recommend!

Serenity Now

A very quiet and very comfortable place. As far as cabins go, super clean and roomy. With minor rearranging of seating the young ones were able to catch up on a movie or two. Plenty of outside space to sit around and sip on your favorite morning drink and then settle and embrace the evening’s serene sights and sounds. The owners live on the same premises within view of their beautiful home and we could tell they were readily available for any questions but appropriately gave us all the privacy we sought. They did give us a dozen of fresh eggs; which, were gone the very first morning. Deer did visit in their own quiet ways. A walking trail would have been an extra although plenty of walking trails in the parks and other areas near by. Over all, a choice place to visit and wind down. Hope to return sooner than later…before life gets too much with me. Thanks a bunch Mrs. Theresa, to you and your husband.

Hill Country

Great accommodations. The host provided free eggs from her hens, and we had daily visits from the local deer. It’s a little close to the house but overall we were able to enjoy our privacy sitting on the porch.

cabin in the woods

We have been visiting a least once a year, more when we can. Have been looking for a nice quiet place just far enough away from the busy part of town. I think we finally found it. We loved the cabin and everything about our stay. Just the right size for 4 adults and 2 large dogs. The owners Teresa and Rene make you feel so comfortable. They provided us with fresh eggs from their chickens and turkeys that we enjoyed for breakfast. We had to borrow a couple items for use during our visit that we had no room to carry, and they gladly loaned them to us. Very kind and helpful. We really enjoyed seeing the mama fox and the deer. as well as squirrels and birds. They even provide deer corn which was a first for us! Over all the best rental we have had so far for the price. We will be back! Thank you both for allowing us in your little heavenly spot!

Wooden Cabin Experience

We enjoyed our stay in this beautifully wooden constructed cabin. We could note the dedication put to build this cabin in all the details. Our stay was very memorable for the tranquility and wilderness experience. The pictures in the profile of this cabin tell little of the beauty of this place. It is definetely a place to enjoy with family as a family. The barbecue experience, the deers, the chickens, the surrounding land marks like the lake, the dam, the winery nearby made quiet an experience.

Tranquil forest oasis

This lovely cabin was ours to enjoy for the week of the eclipse. Although the weather didn’t cooperate in giving us great weather for the eclipse, we still enjoyed the cabin so much. The cabin is set in a wooded lot, serene and peaceful, with deer approaching the house in the early morning. It was immaculate and had all we needed for our stay. It also was just a short drive to restaurants and stores, so not too remote. The owners live next door, but not super close, so we still had plenty of privacy. And Theresa was gracious and friendly, and we loved the eggs from her chickens and turkeys that she shared with us. One thing to note is that the cabin does not have a dishwasher. It wasn’t an issue for us, but I thought I’d mention it for those who might want that. We found the cabin to be a great home base to explore the area, including trips to San Antonio, Fredericksburg, and Enchanted Rock State Natural Area.

Didn’t want to leave

This was such a welcoming property and perfect for our group of 4. We brought our teen daughter and her friend and our small dog. The teens stayed in the loft comfortably. I loved sitting in the swing and looking up at the oak branches. We also made use of the fresh eggs each morning. The nearest grocery is about 5 miles, so we brought most of our groceries but were able to get a few items easily. The stars on the clear night were mesmerizing. I hope to go back in the future.

Comfy Cabin

My friends and I were throughly impressed with this space and the local area. Theresa and her husband were more than kind, offering us food and recommending local attractions. The cabin itself was exactly what we were looking for to escape the big city for a few days. We met some “furry friends” as well… deer surround the property. Absolutely worth the stay!

About the host

Hosted by Theresa Castaneda

After living the busy life raising 4 daughters in Houston,TX we knew one day we wanted to be away from it all. We built our house in 2008 and slowly cleared cedar trees and added more animals. In 2013, we needed to take care of Theresa's aging parents and with the help of her brothers, sisters, nephew, and nieces we built the log cabin that mom and dad wanted. They never had the opportunity to enjoy the cabin, but they enjoyed a bustling summer of 2013 seeing all their children and grandchildren work together to build this log cabin from ground up.

Why they chose this property

In our search of acreage back in 1997, which was usually not too far away from the Houston area, we came across an advertisement for 5 acres in Canyon Lake. After talking to the seller and arranging a day trip to Canyon Lake, we knew this was what we were looking for.

What makes this property unique

The abundant wildlife and the peace and quiet we all need to experience. The birds colors are so vibrant, showing that they too love the country living!
