Great for Garner Stare park
Clean and spacious property with plenty of space to hammock. Provided fire wood and 2 very cute golden retrievers who kept us company. Clean inside and neat house. Very good diner, Los maples diner, near by which was 3 min away and we went to a few times. Overall, fair price for what you get.

Great location for hikers
The cabin had everything that we needed and the check-in/out could not have been simpler. We were there for Thanksgiving and to do some hiking in Lost Maples. Our only issue with the property is that there was a very strong odor in the home. It was even stronger in the bathroom (like septic or sewer). When we entered the home the smell was immediately apparent, but all of the ceiling fans were on, so we were hopeful that the issue had been remedied and that the smell would dissipate. When the odor was still present the next morning, we contacted the hosts. They said they would check it out. That was a week ago and we have not heard back, even after a follow up message was sent to the host. I am so reluctant to leave negative information, but if this issue isn't something that can be remedied, I cannot in good faith recommend this property to others. If it is fixed, I would absolutely recommend it. Since I didn't see any other reviews mention an odor, I am hopeful that it was an event, and not an ongoing issue.

Utopia Getaway
Spent the long 4th of July weekend with friends in a quite spot in Utopia. Great location to take trips through the hill country. Nice well equipped cabin. We saw deer each morning along with the local goats, golden retrievers, and farm cats. Great place to spend a few days with friends or family.

Will be back!
Cute little cabin! You are on the same property as the home owners, and their house is kinda visible, but definitely in its own area. Two entrances to the cabin, one is a access to the house and the next one is a entrance closer to the cabin, which should be marked. The owners have animals, and I was highly disappointed the dogs left the cabin to go say hi to them when they got home. When we rent the cabin, I expect the welcoming committee 😂 maybe frame some pictures of the animals with their names for the cabin? Definitely a fun time! Great included grill, natural fire pit and deck.

Restful Cabin at The Ranch
Really peaceful property. The welcoming committee is the 2 beautiful, super friendly golden retrievers and the cat. Our hosts were fantastic. Took care of all our needs. The cabin was super comfortable and very accessible to Garner State Park and Lost Maples State Park. Would definitely stay here again!

Perfect weekend getaway
We enjoyed our stay here. The cabin is extremely clean and came with all the needed amenities. The back patio is very nice and the grill is fairly new. Being only a fifteen minute drive to Garner state park made it very convenient. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Memorial Day weekend getaway!
My family had a great time at the cabin. I loved having morning coffee on the back porch and also loved ending the nights, in the front, looking at all the stars. Day #1, we went to Utopia Park, which is a super close nice park with easy access to the Sabinal. Day #2 we went to Garner State Park. For dinner we went to Lost Maples Cafe and had chicken fried steak which was delicious. The second night for dinner we bbq’ed out front. My husband loved the pit, actually wants to order one for our house! 😂 on our way out we stopped at Postal Brews, had a scone and a great Americano. Everyone was super friendly, at the park, the restaurants, and the host was great! I would also like to add we did not see a scorpion during our stay. The two Goldens and the cat were all welcomed guest! Would 100% recommend!

Enjoyable
Had most of everything needed besides food and personal items. We LOVED the golden retrievers that visited and there’s a beautiful cat that hangs out on the porch. The deck was nice and we spent most of our time there looking out into the back woods at the deer. There are looming coyotes for those that bring pets. The cabin was great. The rooms stay a bit warm but we left the doors open. Scorpions come inside during rain but host said they would call pest control again. Overall, it was an enjoyable visit. The host doesn’t bother much and answers messages quickly.

A great, simple stopover
This is a great place if you’re just looking for a clean, comfortable cabin. The house appears to be a somewhat recent construction and overall is very nice. As previous reviewers mentioned, you can hear sounds perfectly between bedrooms, so if you need any privacy—this may not be the ideal place. The review right before us mentioned pests—but the owners reassured us that they had since sprayed and we didn’t have any issues. Just know that you will want to bring basics like soap, shampoo, hair dryer, etc. Our family really enjoyed the back porch, fire pit, and nice dogs that came by to say hello. We really enjoyed it and would recommend!

Like Scorpions?
Do not recommend this property... Not enough kitchen utensils, no dishwasher, no ice maker, not enough bathroom towels, bedding did not appear clean and smelled musty, my biggest concern were SCORPIONS, one was crawling on my son as he was sitting on floor, another fell from ceiling in the bedroom, neighborhood dogs that hung around for hours looking for food/water. We will not be back.

More like a cabin than a house
This is a cute, quaint little cabin. It has beautiful pine walls and a new looking aluminum roof. The bathroom has a nice, new vanity and tub/shower. They provide lots of bath towels, but need more hooks for them. Kitchen has what seem to be someone's odd collection of leftover dishes, but they did the job. The furniture could use updating. It seems as if it also someone's old furniture. Some of it is cute and vintage though. The bed, particularly in one room creaks sooo loud every time you move, but was comfortable enough. It has a lovely back deck that appears to be pretty new. We really enjoyed sitting out there. Our main issue with the is place is that we were looking for a house where we could all have separate sleeping areas so we could be rested and get a good night's sleep. Beware that there are no ceilings in the bedrooms, just the aluminum roof overhead. It appears from the pictures that they are regular bedrooms, but they are open at the top so you can see light coming in from the other rooms and hear EVERYTHING in the house. It's like staying in a hotel room. There's a wall air conditioner in the living room. The air travels through the openings above the rooms so if you sleep with the doors closed, it's cold in the living room and warm in the bedrooms. This bedroom situation was not ideal at all for us, but for people who don't mind the cabin feel of all sleeping together, you may love it. Overall it's very nice. It's a little difficult to find. It could use a more noticeable sign on the road. You do have neighbors diagonal to you with very friendly Golden Retrievers who will greet you. Very cute little cabin.
