About this property

Hill Country cabin on 260 acres

Ferruginous Pygmy (Fergy for short) is a tidy open concept single room cabin designed with custom "window walls" at entry and on the back balcony, allowing you to see completely through the cabin to the lovely hills beyond. When you stay at Fergy, you experience a beautiful balance of out and in. Enjoy the cozy and comfy interior and the expansive exterior that epitomizes the Texas Hill Country.

Wake up from a good night's sleep and slide the doors open to watch the sun rise with a warm cup of coffee on the back porch. Step off the shaded front porch around to the deck, which offers outdoor seating, grilling and dining. Adjacent the deck, find a treelined outdoor shower (with hot water) where you can wash off in the private wilderness. (There's really nothing else like it.) In the evening, enjoy a chat by the fireside, resting in style on a large Adirondack chair set in the open air for an expansive experience of the night sky. The stars out here are so bright and plentiful!

Kitchenette with 2-burner induction stovetop, microwave, small fridge, sink, dining ware, knives, cooking utensils, pots, pans, and flatware. Clean bedding on a fresh, firm mattress and new iron queen size bed - super comfy for a good night's sleep. 50 inch Samsung smart TV, with streaming platforms. Air conditioning and heating. Modern free standing roomy and luxurious tub, with high quality shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Tiny enclosed toilet for privacy.

This is truly a unique experience that offers all you really need in a getaway.

Exciting news! We have completed of our second cabin, fondly named “Barn,” which sleeps four and is close enough to book jointly with Fergy and far enough if you are staying solo. We intentionally spaced these two cabins to preserve privacy, yet lend reasonable proximity for those shared stays with friends or family. Please reach out to learn more about the second cabin.

About the host

Hosted by Nathan Jagneaux

Host profile image
We (Melanie and Nathan Jagneaux) own Owl Hollow, a 260 acre ranch property in the Texas Hill Country. Ferruginous Pygmy is the first of several cabins we intend to design and build for our own use and to be shared with others as vacation rentals. Nathan is trained as an architect and designs each cabin to fit within the context of the land and enjoy its own unique design features. Melanie and Nathan (with professional experience in design and construction) do most of the construction themselves, hiring in the experts only when needed. We stay in the cabins ourselves once completed, and bring in just the right furniture, furnishings and creature comforts to make your cabin stay truly restful.

We know you will love your stay here at Ferruginous Pygmy on Windy Hill at Owl Hollow!
