About this property

The Log Cabin | Charming Country Cabin

This is the place to be for a truly quiet, peaceful, away-from-it-all stay. This reconstructed log cabin is set in the middle of acres of beautifully kept fields. It has some trees around it -- and the nearest home is that of the hosts. A porch at the front has a swing to enjoy as you look over the fishing pond. A back porch covers the short walk (about 10 feet) to the small log cabin which is the bathroom. There is a wonderful antique footed tub (no shower) to provide a luxurious soak. (Heat & air, too!!)

The restoration on this log cabin is outstanding with the logs exposed on the interior and exterior walls. The main cabin is a large room with living area and mini kitchen uniquely designed to compliment the antique furnishings. The fireplace is the focal point of the room and can be seen from the loft. Truly a romantic setting! A ladder-type stairway leads to the sleeping loft that holds a double bed and single bed with quilt coverlets and a large old trunk.

The Continental breakfast including pastries from local bakeries is left in your kitchen for you to enjoy whenever you wish. Sitting at the round table with morning coffee and pastries and gazing into the fire or looking out the window at the pond is a relaxing way to start the day. The living room has a queen bed. There is also an antique sofa and TV.

This cabin has been featured in the Hill Country VIEW magazine.

Cozy cabin

I really enjoyed the cabin. I loved how peaceful the setting was and to be honest, it wasn't hard to locate. It was close to Main Street and an easy drive. The host was very thoughtful. The only reason that I didn't give 5 stars was the height of the bathroom doorway and mirrors. I'm tall and felt a little out of place but honestly it worked out fine. I actually believe it deserves 4.5 stars but I don't have that option.

Nice, quaint and very relaxing

The log cabin is exactly what I needed and was looking for. I wanted to reset and get away from the city for a couple of days. Loved the cows and deer in the field. Loved how clear the night sky was and how many stars you could see. Also this place is still pretty close to Main Street and easy to get to and from. I would say as a taller person I needed to be careful not to bump my head getting in and out of the bathroom, but I guess that can't really be avoided. Overall a good experience. Oh also the host was very thoughtful with making sure that you had some snacks in case you didn't want to drive back to town at night.

Quaint little cabin

Enjoyed our get away at this little cabin. I was a bit concerned about the bathroom not being in the cabin, but turned out to be no big deal. Loved the snacks that were left for us.

Perfect Getaway

My (now) husband and I came here for a short honeymoon getaway! This little house is absolutely a perfect place to be able to sit back and enjoy nature. Cattle, deer, ducks, foxes, you name it! We got up early every morning to enjoy the beautiful sunrise with coffee on the back porch. Firewood provided for the fireplace which we used every night. Pastries delivered daily and the host was the sweetest. I can’t say enough good things about this property. We will100% be back!

Relaxing Stay

Beautiful view, relaxing, peaceful. This little cabin is a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. The pastries were quite a treat, and they provide other healthier options for breakfast as well. The front and back doors are a bit difficult to open and close--could use some sanding to ease this problem. Overall, a pleasant stay.

Fantastic and quiet

We've been there a total of 6 times within a 10 year span. Mrs. Itz personally greets guest's, no amount of money can pay for her hospitality. I'm looking forward to seeing her once again and visiting her log cabin.

Wonderful place to stay

The log cabin was perfect. Very peaceful with the cows and the deer grazing close by. Fresh fruit and pastries were delivered every day. I loved the layout on the cabin and wash house. The a/c in the cabin did not work very well so i went and bought a fan so everything was good. Will be going back for sure

The Log Cabin was amazing. The wildlife and scenery was absolutely beautiful with deer in the fields, duck and baby ducklings on the pond, hummingbirds zooming around and gorgeous sunsets. The host was so sweet leaving pastries and delish homemade nut bread. Highly recommended The Log Cabin.

Anniversary

As always we had an incredible stay at The Log Cabin. The Itz family always makes our stay special and we look forward to staying every year. We were married and spent our honeymoon at The Log Cabin and have stayed every year on or around our anniversary except once (which was only due to icy road conditions). That was 31 years ago and we love it more every year. Thank you to the Itz family for a wonderful stay as always.

Log cabin

It was perfect! Couldn't ask for a better place! Exactly, no more than what I had hope for to help create the perfect get away! When we first arrived the only sounds to be heard were ours with the ooh's and awwww's of sheer wonderment, delight, and fascination of our cabin and surroundings. And the hosts with their selection of fresh pasteries ... sheer heaven! We are already planning a return trip.
