About this property

Secluded Ranch Cabin Get Away Between Lost Maples & Garner

Kat's Kabin, located at 1555 Lemond Rd, Utopia, TX, is a beautiful, secluded ranch cabin on 1000 private acres of the Four Sisters Ranch. Located in the most scenic part of the Texas Hill Country, right between Lost Maples and Garner State Park.

This fully furnished cabin features one large room with two queen beds (sleeps 4), on one end and a full kitchen on the other. In between is a small couch and TV. We have two porches, shaded BBQ area, patio, wildlife feeders and a fire pit. (Note: the cabin is not suitable for young children who would need a separate place to nap.)

We have internet, a smart TV and also a DVD with popular movies.

You can enjoy the sounds of nature, wildlife and a beautiful night sky. You may see a variety of wildlife from the porch including deer, turkey, wild hogs and hummingbirds.

Located 90 mi NW of San Antonio and 7 mi from Utopia. The cabin is about 15 miles from Lost Maples State Natural Area and 23 miles from Garner State Park. The Hill Country State Natural Area is about 45 minutes away.

Our curvy, scenic roads boast fantastic hill country views. Local activities: Golf in Utopia (the setting for the movie 7 Days in Utopia). Go swimming at Utopia Park on the Sabinal River, Float the Frio River. Hike at Garner Park. Go birding at Lost Maple Park. Gaze at the stars. Photograph the picturesque hill country views. BBQ on the patio. Visit Lost Maples winery. The Texas hill country is a wonderful year around birding & wildlife viewing destination! We are in one of the best areas of Texas to see the Golden Cheeked Warbler, Black Capped Vireo, Vermilion Flycatcher and more!

Dine at the fabulous Laurel Tree in Utopia (requires a reservation) and Mac & Ernies in Tarpley for a fantastic dining experience! Our local cafe is also good and has great pie!

We will give you a ranch tour or leave you in complete privacy. Your choice. You will be surrounded by nature in a gorgeous hill country setting. You will see a brilliant starry sky when it's clear and usually fire flies in the summer months.

The nearest airport is in San Antonio (~1.5 hr drive). Austin is an ~ 3 hour drive.

Other Things to Note One night bookings will be considered in some circumstances. Send an inquiry. For major holidays, a three night minimum is required. Utopia is a very small community with a general store, bank, gas station, cafes and a few shops. Limited groceries are available at the general store. The nearest large grocery store and hospital is 45 miles ( Hondo, Kerrville or Uvalde). Cell phone service is very limited, only AT&T and Consumer Cellular works and it is spotty. We do have wireless internet so you can possibly have phone service in the cabin should wifi calling be turned on your phone.

GPS will get you in the area but wants to take you beyond the cabin. Take Hwy 187 north from Utopia. In 3 miles go left on West Sabinal Rd. Continue until you get to Lemond Rd. Take a left on Lemond and continue until you get to 1555. You can see the cabin when you turn in at 1555. Look for the Four Sisters Ranch signs at the turns.

We have a 2nd cabin about .3 miles away. Four Sisters Ranch Cabin is also listed if you want to book both cabins for a family get away.

If you want to go to one of the State parks you will need to make a reservation online 30 days ahead of time.

We absolutely loved it here! Enjoyed watching the deer and birds eat breakfast, the sheer darkness of the great outdoors and nature! Close enough to garner state park and lost maples that we did both on our short stay! The boys loved exploring outdoors and we can’t wait to come back!

Honeymoon Getaway

From the time we arrived until we left was all about fun and relaxation. The ride around the ranch with Butch was wonderful. Kat was very helpful with everything we needed. Beautiful property with lots of deer and turkey. Enjoyed watching the rain storm come in on the porch. Will definitely be going back.

Nature Lover's Dream

We had such a wonderful stay at Kat's Kabin for our anniversary. It is secluded, quiet, and most of all, peaceful - a welcome retreat from city life, perfect for unplugging and just immersing in the countryside. The moment we stepped inside, we felt so welcomed by the freshly baked cranberry bread loaf Kat left for us. Absolutely enjoyed the attention to detail with amenities and Texan decor, inside and out. The highlights definitely included the outdoor seating areas (gorgeous trees and wildflowers), perfect for viewing the stars at night or bird-watching during the day (hummingbirds and other beautiful birds galore). We were even lucky enough to see rabbits, deer, wild turkey, and hogs from the back porch! And of course, we loved our visit from the friendly Buddy the cat and Tuffy the dog. Easy drive to Garner State Park! We highly recommend this cabin for anyone and look forward to coming back in the future.

what a delightful cabin. Charming and comfortable decor. The host was extremely communicative and accommodating of some last minute issues on our part. A perfect get away with so many amenities nearby. The Laurel Tree restaurant? Lost Maples State Park, and more. The scent of the breeze blowing through the beds of Rosemary surrounding the cabin are reason enough to visit all alone.

First Cabin Experience

We had a wonderful time staying at The Secluded Cabin on 4th of July weekend. The weather unfortunately didn’t cooperate but that didn’t ruin our trip! Kat gave us wonderful suggestions of things to go around the area. The cabin was clean, had all the things we needed to bbq and provided some wonderful relaxation!

My Husband and I wanted to take a quick little getaway this weekend for a couple of days and chose Kats Kabin. This cabin is absolutely beautiful. Fresh homemade cranberry pound cake was waiting for us in the table. The outside of the cabin surroundings is absolutley breath taking, the beautiful birds, so many cardnials, hummingbirds every where, two large turkeys and the deer. The history of this ranch alone makes it so special to stay here. Kat is so sweet, she texted us different suggestions of where we coukd go hiking, and recommended us go check out the music festival area on the ranch, that has the most beautiful view with a field of little yellow wild flowers. You absolutely will not regret staying here.

The Perfect Get-Away

My wife and I had the most incredible stay at Four Sisters Ranch Cabins while celebrating our 4-year anniversary on February 14, 2025. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and hospitality. Kathleen went above and beyond to make our stay special, leaving a thoughtful note and a freshly baked loaf of bread to greet us—such a sweet and personal touch!The cabin itself was perfect—immaculately clean, beautifully designed, and stocked with thoughtful amenities that made us feel right at home. The welcome book on the table was a delightful surprise, sharing the rich history of Four Sisters Ranch, as well as recommendations for scenic drives and must-visit spots around Utopia, TX.My wife and I love to travel, and this trip quickly became one of our favorites. The peaceful setting, stunning views, and exceptional hospitality made for an unforgettable experience. We’ll absolutely be recommending Four Sisters Ranch Cabins to our friends, family, and co-workers, and we can’t wait to return for another relaxing getaway.Thank you, Kathleen, for making our anniversary so special!

About the host

Hosted by Kathleen Lewis

Host profile image
Kat is the third of four sisters (shown in blue shirt). She and husband Butch built Kat's Kabin in 2016 on their part of Four Sisters Ranch. Kat is a retired school teacher and Butch is a retired Arson Investigator.

Why they chose this property

We were looking for something to do during our retirement. Having had such wonderful people come out to enjoy our first cabin, Four Sisters Ranch Cabin, we decided to build a second one on our plot of land.

What makes this property unique

What's unique? Seclusion, privacy and no light pollution. Birds and abundant wildlife. This is a place to get away from the hectic life in the city to immerse yourself in nature. Since we are close to three State parks our location is convenient to all of them.. If you are looking for a lot of activity, a restaurant and store around the corner, our place would not be a good fit for you. If you want to get away, sit on the back porch or by the fire pit to relax, you have found your spot!
