The Red Magnolia - Private Cabin on 27 Acres/Stocked Pond/Fishing/Longhorns
Escape to the peace and beauty of the The Red Magnolia, a charming barn-style cabin set on 27+ scenic acres with grazing longhorns, seasonal bluebonnets (on the Bluebonnet Trail), a private 2-acre stocked fishing pond, and unforgettable Texas sunsets.
Perfect for a romantic getaway or quiet retreat, this cozy cabin blends rustic charm with modern comfort. The upstairs bedroom offers a private space and balcony, while a sleeper sofa downstairs provides additional accommodations for guests.
As you enter through the gated entrance, you’ll pass the main house (approx 2000 feet from the entrance gate) before continuing down the road to your own private getaway.
Designed for relaxation, the cabin features a cozy yet functional layout with an upstairs bedroom, a sleeper sofa downstairs, a fully stocked kitchen, and washer and dryer - everything you need for a comfortable stay whether you’re here for a weekend escape or a longer retreat.
Spend your mornings with coffee on the porch, afternoons casting a line in the pond, and evenings soaking in the breathtaking Texas sunsets that stretch across the property.
While we do live on-site in the main home, the cabin is positioned to give guests their own private space while still offering the reassurance of a nearby host if anything is needed.
