Nestled in a serene oak grove, this peaceful cabin offers an escape from the ordinary. Unwind by the outdoor firepit, take in views of the meadow and creek from the porch, or try your hand at fishing. With antique furnishings and a pioneer kitchen table, you'll feel like you're stepping back in time.

About this property
Little Cottage in the Woods
This peaceful little cabin is nestled in a groove of oaks, facing a meadow and a meandering spring creek and a lighted fishing hole. It has a lot of privacy, an outdoor firepit, outdoor seating, trees, and a porch with a view of the meadow and creek. You may see an occasional grazing cow and there’s plenty of hiking, fishing and bird watching. Bring the old fishing pole. The cottage is extremely private, with a fresh water well, and state- of- the- art indoor heating and cooling. The roof and ceiling of the cottage are repurposed with antique barn tin. The cottage is furnished with old family antiques dating back to the late 1800’s. There’s a full kitchen with a beautiful, add-on, pioneer kitchen table. The kitchen is furnished with a Keurig and a microwave for those who really want to get back to basics, but not too far back! There is no wifi here. This place is not a hotel, but an old, refurbished cabin, smack dab in the middle of a working ranch! Don't be surprised if a cow greets you as you step outside the cabin for your morning coffee. We do not have fences around the cabin. Please be mindful of this if you bring your fuzzy babies along. This cottage is a true get away. A rugged yet chic, old yet modern, unplugged place to retreat. Come here and trim down, reprioritize and find your purpose again!

Very accurate description and enjoyable stay. Was able to enjoy the peace of outdoors in a nice relaxing cabin, close to Natural Bridge Caverns and other local good eats.
What a great little cabin! So quiet and clean, very enjoyable place to spend a weekend. Caught some fish and heard the turkey's gobble in the mornings.
We absolutely loved this little cabin! It’s a perfect getaway spot and was so relaxing and cozy. The interior is homey and comfortable. And the view around the cottage is beautiful. If you enjoy wildlife or fishing, this is the perfect place for you. The fishing hole is great for catching small fish and we saw all kinds of wildlife around the property.
It was amazing! So quiet, like being really in the middle of no where, but close to everything. Hiking is great. I loved this place, will definitely be back someday!
The cabin was very clean and peaceful. We loved seeing the wild animals. The only thing that would have made it better is if they had a hammock outside :)
Very relaxing! We’ve been here a few times now and it never disappoints! So much nature and peace. Love it!

A lovely place for quiet solitude. It was pleasant. Enjoyed seeing the deer, mostly does, but one buck and a couple of yearlings. Also some squirrels.
Do not expect a 5 star sterile environment. This is a nice cabin in the woods.
We stayed for 4 nights. Our youngest daughter was getting married.
Surrounded by trees, this cabin was the perfect peaceful, retreat for our weekend away! Very clean & furnished with most any necessity you might need. We will be back!
Stay was outstanding. Truly enjoyed the enviornment and loved feeling like you are really out in the country when at the same time you are still close to good food and shopping as needed. Host was excellent and made sure I was up to date and had everything I needed!
What a cozy spot, close to everything but just tucked away enough to get away from it all. It's perfect for dogs to run around and so much space you feel like you are on a private vacation. We are aleardy thinking about when to come back and enjoy the peace and nature.
The property completely exceeded our expectations!!! The atmosphere was tranquil and the wildlife abundant! Loved the layout of the cottage and the antiques were a welcome touch. Could not have asked for a better weekend away from city life and we wish we could live there all the time!
I enjoyed 4 restful days in the Cabin in the Woods. Relaxing with only myself, deer and the occasional armadillo for company. Thanks for such a unique place!
I loved how simple the cabin was, but wasn’t so simple at the same time. The cabin makes you feel like you stepped back in time. My family loved the little fishing hole and the hikes were beautiful. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a peaceful getaway. The host was also very responsive and kind.
Fourth time staying and we’ll keep coming back. Amazing location, quiet, peaceful, and clean. Everything we need and nothing we don’t. Always catch fish across the field and walked out to a whitetail doe 15 feet from the front door this morning. Can’t wait to come back next month!
The cottage was a perfect place for us to stay in Spring Branch. There were just 2 of us staying on the property, but our two daughters, a son in law and 4 granddaughters (6-12 years) visited several times. They loved the cattle, opening and closing gates and playing at the stream. The bed was comfortable and everything was as listed in the description. We hope to stay there often. .
lovely little cabin in the woods looking out onto a meadow. i stayed in the spring after abundant rains. it was super green! liked the privacy and quietness.
linens and towels clean and nicely stocked kitchen
We had the best 3 nights in this cabin. It’s so cozy! Has everything you need for an amazing stay! We saw so many deer, an armadillo, and a fox. We bought a little fishing pole at the Wal-Mart and caught a ton of little fish. We put them back, so we can catch them again! We will definitely stay here again! Thank you for such a fantastic stay!
Enjoyed the rustic solitude. The step ups and step downs within the cottage were difficult with my old hips. We delighted in the neighborly deer. Acorns on the tin roof added to the rustic enjoyment.
