Our stay was good overall. It lacks a little bit of maintenance and cleanliness. The host was pleasant to work with!

I wanted to mention that since this is a cabin in the hill country, cobwebs can appear very quickly, sometimes within an hour after cleaning due to the natural surroundings. This is common and not necessarily a sign of poor cleanliness.
We also want to clarify that the cabin is regularly inspected and properly maintained, so we’re not sure what specific concerns you may have noticed.

The cabin is very "rustic". No wifi, almost no tv service, it was almost 90 degrees inside when we arrived and took forever to cool off. The water stopped working our second night there and we had to leave earlier than planned because we had no shower or bathroom that worked. There are much nicer options available for this price point.

Due to the remote mountain location, traditional WiFi service can be limited, but cellular service is available and many guests successfully use their phone hotspot during their stay.
Regarding the water issue, we responded immediately once notified and had the issue fixed right away. While unexpected maintenance issues can happen, we worked promptly to minimize the inconvenience.
This is the perfect escape. Turn off your cell phone and enjoy your company. No one is going to bother you. And the view of the hills and stars are perfect. Fire pit made for easy sky watching. Host is quick and super nice. This is the perfect spot to forget the world and stress. Just chill like it’s 1990.
We were looking for a last-minute getaway to escape Houston heat and found the perfect place. Clean, quiet and well maintained cabin within a short drive of several great places to take the kids. Great communication with host.
Place was clean and adorable, had no issues really except the fridge didnr get really cold. Loved the location would definately stay here again. Thank you so much!
The place was amazing..the view was beautiful. The only issue we didnt like was the street going to the cabin, its very dangerous for the tires on our cars so hoping they'll fix that soon but other then that, its a beautiful place.
Amazing property with a gorgeous view of the sunrise and the Hill Country. Fenced in yard keeps your pups safely contained. The a/c didn't work so it got a little stuffy. Not a problem for us as it was chilly at night but it would be an issue during the summer.

I will have a technician go and fix the AC asap. Thank you for telling me.
We were looking for a cabin in the woods, with a great view and we definitely got it. The view was great, it was cozy and secluded and overall we enjoyed ourselves.
The only things I would recommend is a bit of updating, adding a second shower and fixing the master shower leaking. I know it's "rustic" but these things can be easily fixed. The decor is a little outdated. It's a great thing the floors are concrete so the water that leaks from the main shower doesn't ruin anything. I was really concerned about the amount that leaks but we just cleaned up with a towel. While a tub is great, the 2nd bath could really benefit from a shower. I was concerned about the fridge not cooling on day 1 but by day 2 it was working okay. My kids and family enjoyed it so we give it 4 starts despite the things that need to be fixed. :)

Lots of potential but fell short
Overall nice property and good location. Makes for a nice hill country getaway spot. However, a number of maintenance issues and minor deficiencies (many of which are addressable) took away from what could have been a great stay:
- Refrigerator wasn't properly cooling.
- Master shower door was missing the door sweep and water constantly pours out onto the bathroom floor when in use. It's a concrete floor so it can be easily mopped up, but it's inconvenient to have to do so after each shower.
- Shower head is pointed at the door so no way to turn on the water without immediately being sprayed with cold water or into the bathroom.
- Master shower head is clogged and leaking, spraying water in all directions. Shower head needs to be replaced. Suggest changing to a long goose neck and with a rain showerhead which would also address the previous issue
- Though there's 2 'full' bathrooms, only the master has a shower so everyone was using the master bedroom. The outdoor shower isn't practical with mixed company and certainly won't be in winter. Adding a shower head in the 2nd bathroom would go a long way for a more usable 2nd bathroom.
- Lack of soap/shampoo. All we had was a couple of nearly empty shampoo bottles and a single bottle of very feminine smelling bath and body works body wash to share amongst 4 adults.
- Kitchen could use a few more things. Only 1 frying pan and no large baking tins
- Internet/WIFI was unusable. I know internet service can be spotty in rural areas, but there was no internet connectivity whatsoever. I suspect it just wasn't working altogether
- very cheap lumpy bed mattresses with almost 'plasticky' sheets.
All in all, we still had a good time, but the issues kept it from being a 5-star stay.

I guess this guest expected this rural rustic cabin to be identical to his city house. It is impossible to please everyone. The outdoor shower is fantastic, overlooking at the stars and moon and I lived there for 2 years and my whole family used it YEAR ROUND! Internet works, but it's satellite and we are in the hills, so can be different speed than city internet. The fridge was inspected at check out and it was cold and worked great.
This property was the perfect fit for our family of five looking for something quiet and comfortable outside of Austin for the weekend. The view, especially sunrises, was breathtaking. Standing outside was so quiet you could hear yourself breathe, but we were still 15-20 minutes to run and get groceries and maybe 30 minutes to some great nature/park attractions that we visited over the weekend. We lacked nothing for our visit, and found the property well stocked and clean.
Had an urgent work issue arise in the area so decided to take my family with me and make a weekend of it near Lake Travis. Was able to book this cabin last-minute without any issues and host was quick and responsive. Cabin is tucked away in the hills and felt very private. Entrance road is a little steep as noted in the listing but nothing to be concerned about. Cabin itself was larger inside than expected and very clean. Kids loved the upstairs area and my wife enjoyed sitting on the large deck. Only noise we heard were the birds and the wind and there are great views of the surrounding valley. Would definitely stay again!
Great cabin with gorgeous view and amazing night stars!!! Well kept, provided ample bedding and towels for our large family (8), plenty of sleeping options and well stocked kitchen and outdoor living space!
Will definitely be back! ❤️
It was a great space for a family gathering. We really enjoyed the deck space to hang out together. Marble Falls is just a short distance if you want an excursion or go out to eat.

Could have been better for that price
Nice property nice area overall the cabin itself was nice but the water had a smell to it we only had one working toilet for six adults and they say they clean but I'm not too sure about that because there was spider webs and how did you not know the toilet was not working so I don't think anyone came to check the property before we checked in

Everything was professionally cleaned 2 days before the guest arrived and everything was also working properly. This is the Hill Country and a tiny spider web can happen after only couple hours.
It is a great place to stay. No real complaints other than the jacuzzi takes forever to fill because of their water system and the owner probably did not know, but the glass on the shower leaks. We had a great time and the views are beautiful. Thanks for having us!
My family stayed at the cabin for a weekend and enjoyed our time there. The cabin is lovely and the area is scenic. Everything we needed was provided. The one drawback is that were only two bathrooms, neither of which was upstairs with 2 of the 3 bedrooms. In the main bathroom there was a jacuzzi tub but because there were water restrictions at the time we couldn’t use the jacuzzi. That left one shower in the master bedroom for 5 people to use. That was an impact when getting to get everyone ready to go somewhere. Other than that our stay was very pleasant and we look forward to going back when the water level is higher.
Had a wonderful experience. This was our family's first experience in a cabin and it was perfect. The host was very responsive and we really enjoyed our stay.
We had a lovely weekend and would recommend this cozy house!
