About this property

Big Fern Cabin · 63 Quiet Acres Near Leakey

  • Big Fern Cabin sits on 63 acres of open Hill Country outside Leakey, private and very quiet. Garner State Park and Lost Maples are both within an easy drive.



    The cabin has two levels: a king bedroom upstairs with a full bath, and a living area, kitchen and half bath downstairs, with a sleeper futon for a third and fourth guest. The kitchen is fully equipped, with a drip coffee maker and coffee provided. Central air and heat keep it comfortable year-round. Guests often comment on the decor and how much character the place has.



    The deck is built around the oaks, with several seating areas, a picnic table, lounge chairs and a gas grill. Bird feeders bring a steady stream of visitors, and much of the 63 acres is open to walk, with trail-ready terrain and plenty of wildlife. The driveway up to the cabin is steep, so motorcycles are not allowed here; come by car or truck.



    Early check-in may be available on request. Every stay includes the Texas Hill Country Travel App, a local guide for exploring the area.



    WHY WE LIKE IT

    Big Fern is one of a kind, and it is properly dark at night: on a clear evening the stars come all the way down to the hills. It is a good base for hiking, on the property or nearby, and Garner State Park is close for a day on the Frio.

Beautiful Hill Country Get Away

This little cabin was so unique and so quaint we actually just fell in love with it and want to build one just like it on our property. The owners were fabulous. The amenities were fabulous and it just felt so cozy. We loved sitting out on the patio, watching the birds in the wildlife we saw all kinds of birds cardinals we saw roadrunner also it was so neat, thank you again for fabulous hosting and a wonderful place to stay. We will definitely be back.

Gem in the Rough

It was a beautiful little slice up and away. The surrounding Trump-land wasn’t ideal, but nevertheless the property itself was lovely and secluded and a nice spot to unwind for my birthday otherwise.

Beautiful little property

We stopped for groceries before we got to Leakey. The barndo is cute, just be careful on the drive out because the road is gravel and without 4 wheel drive it's a bit tricky. We almost couldn't get out in the minivan. Otherwise cute little area and beautiful views.
