Secluded Ranch Cabin Get Away Between Lost Maples & Garner

Kat's Kabin, located at 1555 Lemond Rd, Utopia, TX, is a beautiful, secluded ranch cabin on 1000 private acres of the Four Sisters Ranch. Located in the most scenic part of the Texas Hill Country, right between Lost Maples and Garner State Park.

This fully furnished cabin features one large room with two queen beds (sleeps 4), on one end and a full kitchen on the other. In between is a small couch and TV. We have two porches, shaded BBQ area, patio, wildlife feeders and a fire pit. (Note: the cabin is not suitable for young children who would need a separate place to nap.)

We have internet, a smart TV and also a DVD with popular movies.

You can enjoy the sounds of nature, wildlife and a beautiful night sky. You may see a variety of wildlife from the porch including deer, turkey, wild hogs and hummingbirds.

Located 90 mi NW of San Antonio and 7 mi from Utopia. The cabin is about 15 miles from Lost Maples State Natural Area and 23 miles from Garner State Park. The Hill Country State Natural Area is about 45 minutes away.

Our curvy, scenic roads boast fantastic hill country views. Local activities: Golf in Utopia (the setting for the movie 7 Days in Utopia). Go swimming at Utopia Park on the Sabinal River, Float the Frio River. Hike at Garner Park. Go birding at Lost Maple Park. Gaze at the stars. Photograph the picturesque hill country views. BBQ on the patio. Visit Lost Maples winery. The Texas hill country is a wonderful year around birding & wildlife viewing destination! We are in one of the best areas of Texas to see the Golden Cheeked Warbler, Black Capped Vireo, Vermilion Flycatcher and more!

Dine at the fabulous Laurel Tree in Utopia (requires a reservation) and Mac & Ernies in Tarpley for a fantastic dining experience! Our local cafe is also good and has great pie!

We will give you a ranch tour or leave you in complete privacy. Your choice. You will be surrounded by nature in a gorgeous hill country setting. You will see a brilliant starry sky when it's clear and usually fire flies in the summer months.

The nearest airport is in San Antonio (~1.5 hr drive). Austin is an ~ 3 hour drive.

Other Things to Note One night bookings will be considered in some circumstances. Send an inquiry. For major holidays, a three night minimum is required. Utopia is a very small community with a general store, bank, gas station, cafes and a few shops. Limited groceries are available at the general store. The nearest large grocery store and hospital is 45 miles ( Hondo, Kerrville or Uvalde). Cell phone service is very limited, only AT&T and Consumer Cellular works and it is spotty. We do have wireless internet so you can possibly have phone service in the cabin should wifi calling be turned on your phone.

GPS will get you in the area but wants to take you beyond the cabin. Take Hwy 187 north from Utopia. In 3 miles go left on West Sabinal Rd. Continue until you get to Lemond Rd. Take a left on Lemond and continue until you get to 1555. You can see the cabin when you turn in at 1555. Look for the Four Sisters Ranch signs at the turns.

We have a 2nd cabin about .3 miles away. Four Sisters Ranch Cabin is also listed if you want to book both cabins for a family get away.

If you want to go to one of the State parks you will need to make a reservation online 30 days ahead of time.

Absolutely a must stay!

We had a wonderful time at the cabin. Everything inside and outside was perfect. Saw lots of wildlife, does, bucks, wild hogs, and lots of birds. The cabin was so clean and the banana nut bread was delicious. The hosts went out of their way to make sure everything was good with our stay, 1 out of 10, 10 being outstanding this place and hosts get 100! We will most definitely be back!

Honeymoon Getaway

From the time we arrived until we left was all about fun and relaxation. The ride around the ranch with Butch was wonderful. Kat was very helpful with everything we needed. Beautiful property with lots of deer and turkey. Enjoyed watching the rain storm come in on the porch. Will definitely be going back.

The PERFECT place to stay to get away!

We got home a few hours ago, and I'm already missing it! The cabin was beautiful, just perfect, it had everything we needed! Great movie collection to end a great day of lots of out door activities! The outside scenery just left me speechless! The owners are sweethearts! We arrived to the cabin to find a basket of homeade delicious goodies, the wine was a plus! Thank you for your hospitality, we look forward to returning to your beautiful place!

Fantastic location and cabin

Our family loved the location of this property, the quiet country, modernness of the cabin and all the features available. The listing was exactly (if not more) than our expectations were prepared for during our stay. Communication prior to our visit was the best I've ever received from other rentals and we had everything we needed during the stay. Our kids were ready to pack up and move in permanently. We can't wait to come back during a colder season to take advantage of the fire pit, hot tub and hiking the property. Thanks again for your hospitality and opening your beautiful ranch for others to enjoy!.

Nature Lover's Dream

We had such a wonderful stay at Kat's Kabin for our anniversary. It is secluded, quiet, and most of all, peaceful - a welcome retreat from city life, perfect for unplugging and just immersing in the countryside. The moment we stepped inside, we felt so welcomed by the freshly baked cranberry bread loaf Kat left for us. Absolutely enjoyed the attention to detail with amenities and Texan decor, inside and out. The highlights definitely included the outdoor seating areas (gorgeous trees and wildflowers), perfect for viewing the stars at night or bird-watching during the day (hummingbirds and other beautiful birds galore). We were even lucky enough to see rabbits, deer, wild turkey, and hogs from the back porch! And of course, we loved our visit from the friendly Buddy the cat and Tuffy the dog. Easy drive to Garner State Park! We highly recommend this cabin for anyone and look forward to coming back in the future.

Peaceful getaway

Loved staying here with my husband and daughter. It was the perfect getaway and I honestly didn't want to leave. I loved that we didn't have cell reception because it forced us to unwind and disconnect. I spent every morning on the porch listening to the birds and one morning even saw deer :) every night we cooked at the cabin and enjoyed the quiteness around us. be prepared to be off the grid and enjoy being in a perfect cabin with total seclusion. Kat is the best hostess and my daughter adored her. Everything we needed was as the cabin and it was emmaculate and welcoming. We did grab groceries coming in from kerville because there aren't any grocery stores near by so be sure to plan for that if you are staying in often. I can't say enough good things about Kat and her cabin and her willingness to help guide you to have the perfect vacation. Ps make sure you watch the stars at night from the front porch. It's amazing!!!!

My Husband and I wanted to take a quick little getaway this weekend for a couple of days and chose Kats Kabin. This cabin is absolutely beautiful. Fresh homemade cranberry pound cake was waiting for us in the table. The outside of the cabin surroundings is absolutley breath taking, the beautiful birds, so many cardnials, hummingbirds every where, two large turkeys and the deer. The history of this ranch alone makes it so special to stay here. Kat is so sweet, she texted us different suggestions of where we coukd go hiking, and recommended us go check out the music festival area on the ranch, that has the most beautiful view with a field of little yellow wild flowers. You absolutely will not regret staying here.
