About this property
Seclusion in the Lost Pines hosted by Jan
Secluded rustic cabin on 255 acres of private pine forest. Enjoy hiking, mountain biking & views from large deck. Fully stocked kitchen with coffee maker, blender, microwave, & dishwasher. BBQ on the outdoor propane grill and enjoy a campfire under the stars (bring your own firewood or collect downed wood and cut to pit size). 2 miles off highway. Perfect for couples, solo adventurers, and families. Pets are allowed with a $30 per pet fee. Up to three pets. Please let us know if you will be bringing yours.
Our cabin is on property that has been in our family since the early 1800s and guests are encouraged to walk, ride (bring your bike) and enjoy the serenity of the area at their leisure. You’ll find the construction of our cabin comfortable, attractive and interesting. Newly renovated as of January 2019 with updated appliances and vinyl flooring throughout. The cabin's interior walls are of cedar and the exposed rafters add an extra charm. The front and back doors are usually open to enjoy the gentle breeze that blows through the cabin. Well water can taste and smell like sulfur. Recommend bringing your own drinking water. Enjoy the beauty of over 200 acres of private land.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by jan mclendon

The property gives us the opportunity to be outside most of the day. I enjoy making and running the trails and working in the yard or around the property clearing brush. My husband is always making improvements. We are doing our best to be good stewards of the land.
What makes this property unique
The land has been in our family since the late 1880’s. Our piece is at the end of a 2 mile shared easement road which is mostly still family. Everyone is close, friendly, and helpful. Once you are on our property, the pace slows down and the quiet sets in. Close enough to the sweet town of Smithville if you need a dose of small town charm.
