Little piece of Paradise

July 2011 This home is truly a little piece of paradise hidden away from everyday distractions and located in the beautiful hill country of Texas. Perfect for a family wanting to get away from the busy city life, you can just sit back and relax and enjoy the many views. Plenty of places on the property were you can take a small hike and find sitting areas were you can just sit and enjoy all that's around. If you hike up the hill there's a bench up there where you can take a break and view the beautiful hill country or take a hike down where the creek usually is (went during drought) and there's sitting there as well. Our favorite part was the night hikes, we would grab a couple of flashlights and binoculars (were provided) and walk down to the open pastures where you will find chairs waiting for you and we sit back an try and take in the millions of stars. If you enjoy outings there is plenty to do in surrounding area, Dripping Springs has a couple of nice antique shops and a cool little walk through garden center. Pedernales Falls is just a short distance away and Fredricksberg is almost an hour away (has a strip of great little shops to enjoy). Remember it is a smaller town and things do close earlier there than most places (most places close at 5pm) Home was fully furnished with everything you need for everyday living. Home is so lovely you will be happy with just staying in. Comfortable window seat where you can watch the large variety of birds that come to feed from the bird feeders or enjoy a cup of coffee in the early morning on the large wrap around porch where you can watch the deer come up to the home to eat or in the evening just kick back on the hammock and take a nap. Our family has enjoy going to different cabins the past few years and I can easily say this is one of my favorite ones. My family and I look forward to returning to the Bacot ranch in the future. Next time I will be sure to go after a good rain season so I know that creek will be plenty or maybe in fall or spring so that it's cool enough to take longer hikes. The owner of the property are wonderful as well, they called to insure that we made it ok and that we knew where everything was. They take much pride in there home, it's not like some cabins that are decorated with the bare minimum, this is a home is filled with lots of interesting things that catch your eye. You'll spend your first day just going through the house as if it were a museum.Thanks from Ontiveros familyRecommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway, adventure seekers.

Memories to Last a Lifetime!

Our very large family (We, the kids and grandkids) spent a week here about 7 years ago. I cannot believe we have not yet been back! We all have such wonderful memories and it was definitely one of our favorite stays...all of us talk about it often and with much fondness. Every breakfast and almost all the dinners were around the large dining room table. The house had everything we needed. The grandkids LOVED going down to the stream each day to watch the fish jump to catch the tadpoles (a hint given to us by the owners). There is much beauty and nature within easy driving distances and we had enough outings to keep us busy each day. There was a fresh goat cheese farm right up the road...what more could you ask?Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, pet owners, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, adventure seekers.
