Experience tiny home living

Excellent place for a small family or couple. Quiet and peaceful with a beautiful grouping of pine trees and green grass that looks like it’s out of a movie. All the camping spots and cabins have their own fire pits. Cabin had more than enough supplies for a comfortable stay.

Mother & Son Getaway

My son and I truly enjoyed our getaway at Music Springs! Julia’s Cottage was cozy and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the fire pit, outdoor games, and walking path. We wrapped up our stay with Java & Jesus with the hosts. We would definitely recommend this gem!

Great stay

I stayed 3 nights with my two grandsons we had a great time. We fished the near by lakes it’s best if you have a boat. On Saturday we drove to Lonestar to the water park on lake that was really nice. Great local restaurants food was great and the people were very friendly. Overall great experience. The only issue we had was barking dogs early in the morning.

There are always pros and cons to every place I stay. Cons:1. There is no bathroom sink. I had to use the kitchen sink to brush my teeth. I’m a guy so it didn’t bother me.2. To get to the location you have to travel over hard packed dirt roads. It rain when I left, but it wasn’t an issue since I drive a truck. That’s pretty much it for the cons.Pros:1. While it’s a little small, I was by myself so it was the perfect size. 2. Bed was big and comfortable with plenty of pillows.3. Single shower, but it has plenty of room and plenty of hot water.4. Kitchen has everything you need.5. The recliners are very comfortable.6. The AC works very well. 7. The scenery is very nice and quiet. Very relaxing.8. Communication with owner was quick when needed.9. I used the maps on my iPhone and did not have any issues locating the cottage. The owners had good signs pointing to the cottage and where to park.All in all I would stay here again.

Great getaway!

Check in and check out were very simple and the owners were very accessible when needed. The cottage has everything you need and it’s very cozy. Everything about this place is well built and well kept. There was a big storm the evening we arrived that knocked out power for 14 hours to the whole town. We did have water because the owners ran a generator to power the well and they invited us for coffee in the morning. Thankfully later in the morning, the power came back on. The roads going in and out are covered in sand instead of rock, which made for interesting driving, but it wasn’t a problem.

Julia's Cottage

We had at a great stay at Music Springs. Perfect spot to get away & relax for a few days. Vicki was very good at communicating with us. The towels, sheets & blankets smelled nice & fresh. Bathroom was very clean. The cottage was a little dusty & mirrors somewhat hazy but not to a point where we felt uncomfortable. It's located off dirt roads so it's understandable. We have family in the area so we would love to visit the cottage again sometime.

Julia's Cottage was the perfect place to stay to get away from it all and to rest and relax. As a host, Vicki was always available, always communicating and helping with whatever was needed, while at the same time helping with suggestions of how to make the stay better! The check in and out process was easy, the stay was perfect, the area was very clean! Looking forward to staying here again in the near future!

Peaceful Stay

We needed a place to get away and just rest. A place away from the city that would offer us solace. Having stayed at Music Springs before, we were positive this would be our place. It did not disappoint us! We were able to rest, relax, enjoy the beautiful scenery in a lovely cabin. The hummingbirds, dragonflies and butterflies were a bonus! We went fishing at a local lake, dined at local restaurants and were able to just fix our own in the convenient kitchen. Dual recliners, comfy bed. Shaded sitting area made coffee and meal time great with a view that's breathtaking. Thanks Vicki and Mike for being such wonderful hosts.

Rest & Relaxation

This was a great relaxing weekend getaway! The hosts were very friendly and sweet. We had a very clean, comfortable, and surprisingly spacious little cabin. My husband and I liked that this was a Christian owned location. It was noted that the owners wanted to Glorify GOD and it was just that! We will be planning another getaway here for sure! Thanks Mr. and Mrs. Maxson for a wonderful place to enjoy for our 24th anniversary.
