Located just a short distance north of Fredericksburg this cozy two story cabin will give you a sense of privacy and a chance to enjoy the views of the Hill Country. This wonderful 1800s log cabin was imported from Bowling Green Kentucky. Hand-hewn logs and hardwood floors are accented with tasteful western décor. Your hostess is a big fan of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans so this is your turn to step back in time and enjoy these wonderful finds and keepsakes. Just to give you a taste of the many wonderful items you will find during your stay—enjoy Roy Roger's saddle in the living room, the collection of horns holding eclectic worn out cowboy hats hanging above the loft, curtains hung with horseshoes, and the list goes on. This will be one property where memories will be cherished.
Entering from the porch with its porch swing and two rockers, which by the way is a great place to relax with a drink and take in all of the views of the countryside. The cabin faces West with incredible views of the sunset and stars at night which are big and bright. There are also longhorns, horses, donkeys, and all of the wildlife that we cherish in the Hill Country on the property. Inside is the living room, which boasts a fabulous limestone gas log fireplace, leather sofa and satellite television (32”). There is also a table and chairs, perfect for enjoying your meals, visiting or playing games. Behind the living room is a coffee bar with small refrigerator, microwave, and coffeemaker. The bath has a whirlpool tub with shower. Upstairs is a loft bedroom with a king bed.
Enjoy this thought from the homeowners, “What could be a better life in a better place—we are blessed! And we want to share it with others.”
Please Note: You are renting a cabin in the Hill Country which means you may encounter wildlife (Snakes, Deer, Racoons, ETC). Please be aware of your surroundings, and take caution while driving at night. You may also encounter the various bugs, spiders, scorpions and mice that live in the country AND sometimes do make their way inside. All properties do utilize pest control services on a regular basis BUT this does not guarantee no pests or bugs will be visible.

Our stay
We have stayed at Happy Trails at least 15 times now and have never been disappointed. Its comfortable, quiet, and you'll enjoy watching the longhorns graze.
This was exactly what we were looking for. Slightly outside of Fredericksburg, but close enough to visit. The cabin was very clean and inviting. The cabin felt warm and comfortable as soon as we walked in. Our host was very kind and helpful. The welcome plate of fruit and cookies was an extra thoughtful touch of kindness. Highly recommend.

Happy Trails Cabin
Love this cabin. It's always well maintained and clean. Very comfortable with everything you would need. I've stayed here several times as I love the peaceful atmosphere, the big porch with the swing and rocking chairs. The animals will come and visit and the donkeys will let you love on them. The owners are very friendly and I love visiting with them. The wonderful treats left on the table and in the refrigerator are very yummy. Awesome cabin
Absolutely charming cozy cabin with everything you need for a delightful stay. Will definitely return!

Loved our time here
My boyfriend and I wanted a quiet place to stay to enjoy the hill country and this cabin delivered! We enjoyed watching the longhorns, donkeys, and horses as well as looking at the stars at night. The cabin itself is clean and spacious and you can tell a lot of love was put into maintaining it. There were basic amenities such as WiFi, a microwave, a fridge, and a keurig which was all we really wanted. We also loved that it was not too far from the downtown too!

Best cabin ever
Beautiful place to stay. Everything was perfect. The front porch was a favorite for sitting out and watching the deer and livestock. Out of all the cabins I've stayed at so far this is my favorite. I will definitely go back.

Another fun stay at Happy Trails Cabin
As best we can recall this was our 14th year to stay at Happy Trails and each year it seems to get better. Its fun to sit and watch the animals and simply listen to the "quiet."

Relaxing and peaceful getaway!
Happy Trails was a great surprise. It is calm, peaceful and the perfect place for porch sitting, watching sunsets and ranch animals. We devoured superb breakfast items that were left by the host. Lots of charm to this property. Country setting but close enough to easily get into town for shopping and dinner. We're planning on booking again!!
