About this property

Pet Friendly Cabin on 6,000 Acre Ranch! Hiking & Overlanding Paradise!

Nestled on our family-owned 6,000-acre ranch in the beautiful Texas Hill Country, our newly renovated cabin offers the perfect escape for outdoor enthusiasts or those seeking a peaceful retreat. The cabin itself is designed for comfort and relaxation, featuring a cozy queen-sized bed, a spa-like bathroom, and a fully functional kitchen equipped with a stove, oven, fridge, Keurig coffee machine, and all the necessary utensils for preparing your meals. Our cabin also shares an outdoor space with the adjacent cabin, complete with a Blackstone, two fire pits, outdoor furniture, and tables. The perfect setting for an evening around the campfire.

Our ranch is ideal for guests seeking a more authentic, rugged outdoor experience. While our hiking and riding trails are maintained regularly, they are not paved, or highly developed like the trails you may find at a state or national park. Weather conditions, especially rain, can quickly change trail conditions, so guests should expect a true Texas backcountry experience with natural terrain, scenic overlooks, and a sense of adventure.

Please note that due to seasonal hunting operations, the ranch is closed during certain times of the year to preserve wildlife patterns and support responsible land management. If the cabin is showing available on Airbnb, all hiking and riding trails are open for guest use during your stay. If dates appear unavailable, it means either the cabin is booked or the property is closed for the season. Our calendar is always kept up to date, and guests are encouraged to check availability in advance when planning their visit.

Additional Accommodations:
We have a second cabin located adjacent to this one that comfortably sleeps up to six guests. If you’re interested in booking both cabins for a larger group, please let us know.

Shopping & Groceries:
Depending on your route, Uvalde or Kerrville will likely be the last towns you pass through with major stores such as Walmart, H-E-B, and Walgreens.

Camp Wood is the closest town to the ranch and offers a family-owned gas station, Get-N-Go, as well as Family Dollar. Both are convenient for essentials, but we recommend stocking up before arriving.

Nearby Attractions:
Chalk Bluff – Approximately 30 minutes away. Most of the drive time is spent exiting the ranch (about 20 minutes), with the remainder on the highway.

Nueces River – About 15–20 minutes away. Our county road crosses two sections of the river, making it a quick and scenic trip from the cabin.

Garner State Park – Roughly 50 minutes to 1 hour away. Although it may appear close on the map, the rolling hills between the ranch and the Leakey/Concan area make for a longer drive. The route takes you through Camp Wood and along the famous Twisted Sisters, often considered one of the most scenic drives in Texas.

Other Things to Note:
1. The cabin does not have an ice maker; however, the freezer can easily hold 1–2 bags of ice.
2. The cabin is fully fenced, making it a great option for guests traveling with pets. We do ask that pets not be left outside unattended, as we have livestock and wildlife on the ranch that we want to protect.
3. Guests will drive approximately 8 miles on a well-maintained caliche road to reach the cabin. A 4x4 vehicle is not required, but heavy rain can make certain sections muddy.
4. Cell service can be spotty throughout the ranch. Depending on your provider, you may have little to no service while exploring.

while the highway we needed caused our drive just to be a little longer than what we would’ve experienced before the flooding it was still a very nice ranch. the cabin was very appropriate for me and my boyfriend. the host was very helpful through the whole thing . would go again.

Absolutely amazing!

An isolated cabin on a 6000 acre ranch, a gorgeously decorated inside and outside space, and a horse came to greet us when we got there! Ashley was amazing with information and gracious with all of my questions as i am new to vrbo. Directions were clearly outlined and easy to follow to get to the ranch and always a quick response when i texted. I wish we had time to check out their nature hiking trails on the ranch but we'll do that next time for sure!

Absolutely incredible place. The house is perfect for a couple and their dog to just hang out and unwind.The fire pit was awesome. We cooked hot dogs and steaks and s'mores. The night sky was beautiful, so many stars. We took out dog for a hike on the loop trail and he got to go off leash for the first time, besides in a dog park. He had a wonderful experience here. He got to meet a horse, a hog, sheep, and cows. This place was exactly what we were needing. Thank you so much.

Great Country Cabin

The cabin was super clean and well stocked. The host was extremely nice and stopped by to check when I arrived. I was traveling for work and carry a large amount of tools. The cabin is on a large ranch and I didn't have to worry about my tools or truck. I didn't even bother to lock it up. I highly recommend it.

Great anniversary trip!

The hill country cabin was adorable. It was clean and spotless and decorated very cute! Our host was very accommodating and thoughtful. She left us a bottle of sparkling wine to celebrate our anniversary and there was cute jar filled with all of the ingredients needed to make smores. The Williams farm fresh eggs and honey were delicious. We brought our ATV and rode it on trails on the ranch. The only con for our entire stay was that we didn't realize that another cabin was right next door to ours. Overall, our stay was amazing and we plan to return again and hope to bring family with us next time.

Not happy

I was not happy with my stay only stayed one night had booked it for 3 nights. We had a terrible night sleep me and my husband rolled into each other on the bed. The mattress was horrible. I woke up all bitten up by something not sure. I refused to stay there another night. I paid for 3 days but was very unhappy with my stay. The cabin overall was nice it just wasn’t good stay. I don’t see why I can’t be reimbursed for my other 2 days I didn’t stay.

Response from VrboOwner on 21 July 2025
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your stay didn’t meet your expectations. We recently replaced the mattress with a brand-new pillow top model, and most guests have found it incredibly comfortable—but we completely understand that mattress preferences can be very personal. As for the bug bites, our property is marketed as an outdoor getaway, and while we take every precaution to keep the cabins clean and pest-free (which we confirmed was the case during your stay), time spent outdoors can unfortunately come with the risk of mosquito bites, especially in the warmer months. We also want to clarify that, once a guest has checked in, refunds are handled directly by VRBO. We did provide instructions on how to submit a refund request through the app, but we didn’t receive confirmation that a ticket was ever submitted. We always aim to be transparent and accommodating, and we’re sorry this experience wasn’t a perfect fit.

Hiker's Paradise

I spent three days hiking with my dogs on this gorgeous 6,000 acre ranch, and it was not nearly long enough! The small cabin was perfect for the three of us, with a very well-equipped kitchen and large bathroom. The bed is very comfortable, and the air-conditioning more than managed to keep up with the over-100 degree temperatures. The main hiking trail started just across the road, and after a 5-minute walk, we reached the point where the dogs could be off leash. There are several trails with different features to explore (some were flat and shady, others were rocky and more challenging). The scenery is breathtaking. We pretty much had the place to ourselves. Ashley, our host, was very responsive by text both before and during our stay. She answered all of my questions and, when I reported a problem with a water leak, and it was fixed immediately. The directions to get to the cabin were clear and easy to follow (several gates and cattle guards along the last 12-15 miles). We are already planning our return!

About the host

Host profile image

Hi there! I am from Montell, Texas, and grew up on this very ranch, just down the road from our cabins. Our family has owned this ranch for over 60 years, and my grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins all enjoy the ranch to this day. We all grew up next to each other and went to school at Nueces Canyon. This has been a special place for our family to create lasting memories, and we hope the same for you!

Why they chose this property

The cabin sits on 6,000 acres and offers beautiful sunsets overlooking the Texas Hill Country.
