The hosts were great. The cabin was so cute, very clean, had everything we needed. The stars, so many stars in the night sky! And flowers in every field. And deer everywhere. Such a wonderful place to stay.

Most Memorable Mother/Daughter Weekend

The girls and I chose this precious cabin and planned our weekend activities afterwards! Kelli and Will were the most gracious hosts - the cabin had everything we needed, was so comfortable and relaxing! The views were outstanding. Seeing deer and wildlife roam about added to our relaxing weekend. We highly recommend this sweet cabin for any one or group that wants to get away! It's the perfect distance from surrounding touristy spots!

Review

Kelli and Will’s cabin is immaculately clean, beautifully decorated, and absolutely lovely. We had a couple of unfortunate accidents and insisted we have a relaxing stay. Kelli is an amazing hostess (5⭐️). (We are sure will is too but had no interaction with him.). We would go again.

About the host

Hosted by Kelli and Will O'Donnell

My husband, a proud Texan native, and I couldn't be more different in our journeys across the United States. While I've traversed from one coast to the other, fate led me to Texas on a whim and a dream. Little did I envision that amidst this vast state, I'd find not only my soulmate but also become the proud owner of 12 sprawling acres, a space we joyously share with others.

Beyond our professional lives, we relish moments immersed in nature, scouring for Native American artifacts, navigating tranquil waters via kayaks, and discovering hidden gems at the multitude of breweries dotting the picturesque Hill Country landscape. Our shared love for the outdoors fuels our adventures, leading us to explore hiking trails, camping spots, and scenic vistas that Texas generously offers.

Amidst the tranquility of our acreage, we find solace and connection with each other, with nature, and with the vibrant community around us. Our Texan dream has unfolded in unexpected, beautiful ways, weaving together our pasts, our passions, and our shared aspirations for the future. And in sharing our slice of paradise with others, we hope to inspire the same sense of wonder, gratitude, and joy that Texas has bestowed upon us.

Why they chose this property

In October 2020, we made our temporary home in this charming cabin upon purchasing the property, while eagerly awaiting the completion of our forever home. Our time spent here was nothing short of delightful – a sentiment shared by our grandson, who adores the cozy loft areas. Even now, when the cabin sits unoccupied, we often find ourselves strolling down memory lane, allowing him to play in the loft with his little tent. If you have children, rest assured they'll find endless joy in its unique and inviting spaces. Originally intended as our guest house, this cabin quickly became a beloved sanctuary for us, offering everything we needed and more. Now, we're thrilled to open its doors to guests from around the world, hoping they'll find the same comfort and warmth that made it a cherished home for us. We invite you to experience the magic of our little cabin and create your own treasured memories within its walls.

What makes this property unique

Beneath the night sky, a profound stillness envelops the surroundings, complemented by the dazzling stars above. Throughout the day, wildlife roams freely - deer, jackrabbits, hummingbirds, and butterflies grace the landscape. Nearby properties echo with rural sounds - roosters, donkeys, and chickens contribute to the rustic ambiance.

Our retreat offers a haven of tranquility amidst the countryside's quietude. Here, amid nature's whispers, find solace far from urban clamor. Relax and unwind in the simplicity and beauty of rural living, where the tranquil rhythm of nature beckons.
