We arrived to find icicles melting from the covered porch! The cottage was warm, cozy, and peaceful. We enjoyed the birds, frequent visitors to the bird feeder. We also enjoyed sipping hot chocolate and cider and reading in the evenings. This was a working weekend for me, as I am trying to finish writing a play for the Moondance Festival in April. The cabin is a writer's haven. Thanks for the wireless Internet. This allowed me to work in connection with my writing group in South Texas who are supportive. The Cabin is perfect! Thank you! Bill A's comment - Thanks Ronnie and Cyndie! We have many more nice comments in our guest book. Every year or two I put a sample of them here. They are copied verbatim from our guest book. I've just entered the 7 most recent comments. I also encourage our guests to submit comments on line.

We had a great time at Travis Lake scuba diving - water level low but still it was great! We thoroughly enjoyed the cabin it had everything we would possibly need & more during our stay. We hope to return when we are ready for our advanced open water certification! P.S. We've seen more deer in our short stay then we have our whole lifetime here! Thanks for all!

We spent the last few days of our vacation here before starting school tomorrow. We loved Hamilton Pool! Our kids loved the deer and the bunk beds. Thanks so much!

We absolutely loved our stay here! Dan almost lost his chest hair to the grill, but all the birds, the view, and the lake were wonderful. We hope to come again soon! Hamilton Pool ROCKED!
