Perfect Little Getaway

This place exceeded our expectations! It was so clean and charming, and we really enjoyed all of the Texas history in the cabin! A super easy drive to Rocker B for my son’s baseball tournament—we’d love to stay again!

Great little cabin in the hills. Just as described. Food and groceries nearby, yet far enough away from town to be in the country. 6 minutes from Mineral Wells Fossil Park. Really enjoyed it !!!

Quiet Rustic Getaway

Location is close to town, but far enough away to feel peaceful and away from it all. Cute cabin. Clean. No frills but we brought most of what we needed. Really enjoyed our stay and appreciated Mike's welcome. It's a plus that it's located just down the road from the Fossil Park.

Perfect hideout for a weekend getaway!

From the moment I saw the property I knew I had to stay at The Hideout. The location of this cabin offered a quiet, uninterrupted stay for me and my husband. When you walk out the back door it feels like your in the middle of nowhere which is exactly what we wanted! The hikes are gorgeous with endless big boulders covered in lichen and moss, cacti and cedar trees. A welcomed landscape coming from the city! A short trek across the pasture takes you to a prime spot on the Brazos river. The ranch owner, Mike, was kind and more than accommodating. He offers his guests a charming retreat and we are already planning a trip back.
