About the host
Hosted by Suzette Hine
Hi, I’m Suzette — the owner of Haven in the Hills!
This home is more than just a vacation rental to me; it’s a piece of my heart tucked into the Texas Hill Country. I’ve always loved the peaceful views, the winding trails, and that unmistakable sense of calm you feel the moment you arrive here.
My goal in opening up Haven in the Hills was simple: to share the beauty, quiet, and charm of this area with others. Whether you’re sipping coffee on the deck, hiking through the trees, or stargazing by the fire pit, I hope you feel the same peace and joy I’ve found out here.
Thanks for following along — and I’d be honored to host your stay in the hills!

Why they chose this property
One of the things I treasure most about Haven in the Hills is the peaceful, untouched beauty of the neighborhood and surrounding area. Tucked away in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, the property is nestled among rolling hills, tall oaks, and winding backroads that instantly make you feel like you’ve escaped the noise of everyday life.
The scene here is incredibly serene—mornings are quiet except for the sounds of birds, and evenings often end with golden-hour sunsets over the trees. On a clear night, the stars are absolutely incredible. It’s the kind of place where you can sit on the deck with a cup of coffee or glass of wine and feel completely at ease.
What I love most about the neighborhood is the space—literal wide-open space. You don’t see neighbors, you don’t hear traffic. Instead, you get walking trails, wildlife sightings, and the kind of stillness that’s hard to find these days. The house sits on 24 acres, and the land invites guests to explore, hike, bike, or just take a walk and clear their head. Whether it’s families playing in the yard, couples enjoying a quiet morning, or friends gathered around the fire pit, it always feels like your own personal piece of the Hill Country.
At the same time, you’re not far from the fun. I love that we’re just a short drive to places like Canyon Lake, Gruene, New Braunfels, Wimberley, and some amazing local wineries. You can spend the day out tubing a river, listening to live music at Gruene Hall, or visiting a brewery—and still come back home to complete peace and privacy.
This neighborhood gives you the best of both worlds: total seclusion and easy access to everything that makes Hill Country living so special. That’s what makes it my favorite place to be—and why I’m so excited to share it with others.

What makes this property unique
What makes Haven in the Hills stand out is the rare balance of total privacy, modern comfort, and natural beauty—right in the heart of the Texas Hill Country.
Set on 24 private acres, this spacious retreat gives guests the freedom to explore, unwind, and reconnect in a way that few vacation homes can offer. Whether you’re hiking the wooded trails, relaxing on the deck with a view, or enjoying quality time around the fire pit, the property invites you to slow down and enjoy nature without giving up the comforts of home.
Inside, you’ll find a beautifully updated home with stylish décor, a fully equipped kitchen, and brand-new mattresses in every bedroom. The layout is perfect for families and groups—with enough space for everyone to gather, yet plenty of room to spread out and enjoy a little quiet time.
The location is also a major highlight. While you’ll feel worlds away from the noise, you’re still just a short drive to the best of the Hill Country—Schlitterbahn, Gruene Hall, Canyon Lake, New Braunfels, and several wineries and rivers for floating or kayaking. It’s the best of both worlds: secluded enough to truly relax, yet close enough for day trips, local eats, and adventure.
From morning coffee on the balcony to sunset views over the hills, Haven in the Hills was designed to be more than just a place to sleep—it’s a place to experience. We created this home with love and care, and we’re proud to offer guests a space where they can create lasting memories with the people they love most.
This isn’t just a rental—it’s a retreat. And we can’t wait for you to experience it.
