Little Cottage in the Woods

This peaceful little cabin is nestled in a groove of oaks, facing a meadow and a meandering spring creek and a lighted fishing hole. It has a lot of privacy, an outdoor firepit, outdoor seating, trees, and a porch with a view of the meadow and creek. You may see an occasional grazing cow and there’s plenty of hiking, fishing and bird watching. Bring the old fishing pole. The cottage is extremely private, with a fresh water well, and state- of- the- art indoor heating and cooling.
The roof and ceiling of the cottage are repurposed with antique barn tin.
The cottage is furnished with old family antiques dating back to the late 1800’s. There’s a full kitchen with a beautiful, add-on, pioneer kitchen table. The kitchen is furnished with a Keurig and a microwave for those who really want to get back to basics, but not too far back! There is no wifi here. This place is not a hotel, but an old, refurbished cabin, smack dab in the middle of a working ranch! Don't be surprised if a cow greets you as you step outside the cabin for your morning coffee. We do not have fences around the cabin. Please be mindful of this if you bring your fuzzy babies along.
This cottage is a true get away. A rugged yet chic, old yet modern, unplugged place to retreat.
Come here and trim down, reprioritize and find your purpose again!

Peaceful Christmas Setting

The cottage was a perfect place for us to stay in Spring Branch. There were just 2 of us staying on the property, but our two daughters, a son in law and 4 granddaughters (6-12 years) visited several times. They loved the cattle, opening and closing gates and playing at the stream. The bed was comfortable and everything was as listed in the description. We hope to stay there often. .

Peaceful get away

The cabin was very clean and peaceful. We loved seeing the wild animals. The only thing that would have made it better is if they had a hammock outside :)

Always a great time

Fourth time staying and we’ll keep coming back. Amazing location, quiet, peaceful, and clean. Everything we need and nothing we don’t. Always catch fish across the field and walked out to a whitetail doe 15 feet from the front door this morning. Can’t wait to come back next month!

Quiet little magical oasis

This place is beautiful. There's a little lagoon nearby so the temperature stays cooler here than the surrounding areas. The lagoon also brings all kinds of wildlife, like deer and especially interesting birds. There's plenty of space to rome the property, it's quiet and isolated so I played guitar a bunch. There are nice bars and grocery within 20 mins so it's easy to step out for a bite and drink. Not a lot of places like this to rent for a weekend, I recommend it if you're looking to get outta the city and relax.

Rustic solitude

Enjoyed the rustic solitude. The step ups and step downs within the cottage were difficult with my old hips. We delighted in the neighborly deer. Acorns on the tin roof added to the rustic enjoyment.
