About this property

The Hideout - A Sayles Ranch Guesthouse

Immerse yourself in the charm of The Hideout, a cozy Sayles Ranch Guesthouse that’s reminiscent of a 1940s retro mountain cabin. Nestled between The Sayles Ranch and The Falling Star Lodge, this quaint escape boasts a private courtyard and exclusive parking.

Inside, discover a Texas Cedar log, queen-size bed adorned with luxurious bedding surrounded by knotty pine walls and scored, stained concrete floors. The cozy sitting area features a sofa, recliner, desk, and a flat-screen TV.

A kitchenette is equipped with a small refrigerator, microwave, toaster, and coffee pot. Unwind in the bathroom, showcasing a unique vanity crafted from an antique pulpit. Step into the secluded courtyard, framed by antique "convent" doors from Old Mexico, where a charming bistro table awaits for delightful "al fresco" moments.

It was just ok. Wish that I would have just paid a little more and got a hotel rm. The shower was tiny, very poor lighting in the bathroom, the a/c couldn't keep up during the day, ran non-stop to keep it around 78, set at 71. Thought that it had a full size fridge, Had to buy a bag of ice each day and keep in my ice chest. Oh, the bed is way to high off the floor, you have to jump to get in and out. Glad that my girlfriend was not able to join me.

Cute little house tucked away in a nice neighborhood

This little efficiency was great for my needs while visiting in Abilene. Everything worked, and the bathroom was fine. I did some limited food preparation without any problems. Comfortable furniture and cute table to put books or papers on. I would stay there again.
