Hill Country Views Fire Pit Hiking Trails 40 acres
While staying at Lonesome Dove Hill Country Cabin and Ranch you will be centrally located between Dripping Springs, Wimberley, and Johnson City with breathtaking views and a tranquil atmosphere. This pet-friendly 3 bedroom 2 bath home offers an escape from the cares of this world. Get ready to sit on the porch taking in the million-dollar views! At night gather the family and sit around the firepit making s'mores and viewing the stars under the Texas Hill Country skies.
The Texas Hill Country is known for its rolling hills, vistas, and unique culture. This area is an ideal place for those looking to explore Texas wildlife reserves and other outdoor attractions. In addition, this is one of the most coveted locations fossil hunters love to explore. Our ranch is Part of the Glen Rose Formation, the fossils found here come from shallow marine to shoreline geological formations from the Lower Cretaceous period. Spanning forty acres, you can take your pick from hill country hiking, fossilising, and even arrowhead hunting - a hidden treasure in itself!
If that isn't enough to keep you busy, why not spend a day touring the wineries or floating down the Guadalupe? If you're looking for something more low-key (and dare we say relaxing!), then check out one of many local swimming holes or take a leisurely stroll on our hiking trails. And when it's time for sustenance and souvenirs, don't forget to visit Wimberley or Dripping Springs. No matter what activities you choose in this perfect retreat, prepare to be amazed!

The view is spectacular here with plenty of land to explore. We enjoyed watching the sunset, looking at the stars and enjoying nature. San Antonio is only an hour away and lots to do in the area.
The view is like something from a movie! I cannot overstate how beautiful it is! And at night, the stars are incredible!
The cabin was perfect-comfy beds with plenty of extras! Can’t wait to return…
Just what we needed. I’ve told my daughter (10) and son (17) about the stars at night in the Hill Country. Was finally able to have them see them…..all of them! The sunsets here are magical and the fire pit was perfect for smores. Everything you could possibly need is here waiting for you. Will definitely book again! Thank you for allowing my family to stay at your beautiful property.
We make an annual trip to the Texas Hill Wineries. Lonesome Dove was a great location for our favorite places. We enjoy the quiet, remote places to stay and this was right on target. Remote enough with a one hour drive max to the best wineries. The view was spectacular and the home was clean and comfortable.

Amazing views
We stayed here for the weekend and the views are amazing from the front porch. We even ended up seeing some deer in the morning through the front door. Everything was clean and nice. The trail on the property is a nice adventure as well. The house is a short drive to Pedernales Falls state park and we were able to go swim in the river and come back and still have a bunch of time to cook and relax. Definitely recommend.
We enjoyed our stay at this Hill Country house. The owners were very nice, frequently checking on us. The house was very clean with comfortable living room, as described online but with room for improvement regarding a few things (limited silverware and glassware, low water pressure, upstairs A/C insufficient on hot days). The location is very peaceful and the views are absolutely amazing. Totally worth it!
Needed a few days to recharge and was blown away. The views are simply amazing and the drive down the gravel road to get to the property was one of the main highlights for us. Upon arrival everything from the outside to the inside was very clean and tidy. You can tell the owners take pride in hosting their guest. If you need a few days from the hustle and bustle this is the place to go. Communication with the host was impeccable,(Thank you Teresa) Cant wait to get back here for an even longer stay.

The Views
When the rooster crows at the break of dawn, look out on the Texas Hill Country and you’ll be gone— away— transported to a higher place than the here-on-earth.
The property features sea fossil hunting, hiking trails, wildlife viewing and sightseeing from family-style chairs atop of a hill.
The views alone are worth the price of admission, but Lonesome Dove Hill Country Cabin hosts comfortable beds and cozy communal living spaces, as well.
We left our dog at home, but would recommend you bring yours along. It’s dog-friendly, and there’s nowhere a dog would enjoy more than the stomping grounds at Lonesome Dove Hill Country Cabin.
Exceptional accommodations and spectacular night sky
This property is classic Hill Country, with gorgeous views, spacious privacy, and a beautiful, comfortable house. Wimberley, Dripping Springs, Blanco and Johnson City are short rides away. The owner was great to work with, very responsive and helpful, even as they dealt with their own family emergency. We had everything we needed for a long weekend of astrophotography: a timelapse of breathtaking starry night skies and the April 8 2024 total eclipse. Thank you again Teresa for your excellent support! We hope to come back later in the summer when the Milky Way galactic center is high in the night sky.
We spent a, very rainy, 4th of July weekend here with our son and a friend of ours. The location was exactly what we were looking for, secluded with a great view, even if the weather didn't cooperate.The cabin was nice, the kitchen well stocked and it was generally pretty clean. We did have a problem with ants in a few places, but that can be common with a lot of rain in the area.There was a bit of a musty smell, especially upstairs, which might be caused by the fact that there are no AC vents upstairs. They did have a portable unit, which helped a bit, but it was still pretty stuffy. Also, one of the bedrooms upstairs is actually in a common area without a door.We had a lot of automated texts and emails from the hosts before and throughout our stay, but we got no reply when we mentioned the ants after check out.Also, we had a bit of trouble finding the place: we were actually going the right way, but there was a fork in the road and a blind curve that made us wonder. A bit if extra description of the driveway after the gate would have been helpful.
We had a great time. The host was helpful with any questions and quick to respond. The property is great and you can just walking around and got lost in nature. Also, the stars at night are amazing.
The property is remote, quiet and the views are amazing. The home is nice and a Very nice host and will for sure come back.

Amazing location with spectacular views!!
What a great getaway from the big city! The views were amazing! The owners couldn't have been more attentive and welcoming!! It was so relaxing to enjoy a cup of coffee on the porch in the morning and to sit out by the fire pit to watch the sunset 🌅 in the evening!! There were so many charming little towns nearby and many brewerys and wineries in the area. I hope to stay at this property again next year!!
We had a wonderful stay. We enjoyed walking and hiking the 40acs. Lots of fossils and even found an artifact. If you're an outdoors enthusiast you'll love this place. Pet friendly at a reasonable price. Definitley coming back.

Wonderful views
Our stay at this cabin was extremely impressive. The view of rolling hills is accessible from all areas of this location. The hiking trails were invigorating for morning and evening walks and we enjoyed the endless photography opportunities of landscape, nature, and stars. The cabin itself was pleasant and relaxing, with plenty of room and amenities. Teresa, our hostess, was highly accommodating. We will absolutely stay here in the future.
What an amazing property! Clean, all the necessary amenities, and an awe-inspiring. view, especially at night during a moon less evening. We had the best time just roaming around on the property and hanging out making smores. Though this is of the beaten path, you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend.
This property is wonderful. We really enjoy sitting on the front porch. We walked a trail with our dogs. We made s'mores on the fire pit overlooking the canyon. The beds were comfortable. The star gazing was out of this world. We saw satellites moving across the sky, the big dipper so bright and many other constellations. Lots of shooting stars. We will definitely return to stay here this Fall or Winter.
The view is absolutely amazing! Worth every penny for the view alone. A few helpful things if you rent this home are that it sleeps 6, but has a tiny breakfast table for 4. There is only 1 chair at the firepit and 2 chairs on the porch, so we wished we had brought camping chairs. There is no coffee table or table big enough to play a game, puzzle or have everyone eat together. We loved it for the view and had a wonderful stay!
The house is super cute, the location private, and the views are amazing! You really just can't get over the views. It is off the beaten path and we loved it!I would say the communication with Teresa was exceptional. There was a slight glitch with the VRBO reservation and Teresa was quick to fix! She even texted the next day to check in with us to make sure we had everything we needed. What a super person! I highly recommend this property, not only for the quality of our stay, but for the quality of the owners!
