About this property

Authentic log cabin! 15min from downtown. Sleeps 4

Get away to serene country calm at the Mighty Oak Log Cabin. With a back-porch view of beautiful rolling countryside, and regular visits from grazing deer (and the occasional foraging armadillo), you’ll love the peaceful setting, cool morning air, afternoon breezes and Texas’ beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Or, you can relax in the hammock under the Mighty Oak, whose majestic canopy is the result of over a century of growth.
While you’re less than fifteen minutes from the attractions and nightlife of old downtown Fredericksburg, you’re refreshingly free of the crowds. Even better, you’re an easy five minutes from Luckenbach Texas, with its history and live music, and if you’re hungry, Alamo Springs café is also just a few minutes south – it’s home to Texas Monthly’s “Best Burger in Texas,” and more live music. Of course, if you came for the wineries, you’ll find them close-by, as well as the award-winning Altstadt Brewery.
Charming living/kitchen/dining areas are found on the first floor along with a bedroom with a full-size bed and bath. The second floor features another bedroom with a queen sized bed, sitting area, HDTV television and a bath with a grotto shower. The well-equipped kitchen is ready for you to cook your own gourmet meals, and there is a Keurig coffee maker for your use. We love the character of well water, but guests seem to appreciate the reverse osmosis filtered water system, too. For the summer heat a new ac/duct work has been installed to ensure you can cool off nicely after your day of adventure.
All linens are provided, and Wifi and Roku TV is included, so you can stream your favorite television and movies.
Quiet peace, calm, comfort and convenience are yours – in a charming setting with unmatched views. Come see for yourself!”

Woods vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice location, lots of wildlife. We had a blast staying there, but the stairs are very scary going up stairs, and back doors need work. Porch chairs are not comfortable, the ones in pictures aren’t there any more. Couch downstairs is terrible. Could be a very nice place if a little more attention was paid to the little things.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a nice time in this clean and cozy cabin.We did encounter a scorpion in the kitchen sink. Later we noticed another guest had noted in the "experience log" at the cabin, that they also found a scorpion(s) during their stay. We know this comes with the territory of TX and being in the country, but please take all precautions to rid the interior of these nasty pests. Again, nothing major, but it seems there may be a pattern considering another guest noted this also.

A getaway in need of some love

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Might Oak Cabin is a great location if you are looking for a quiet country getaway, which we were. You can sit on the deck and watch the wildlife in the morning and listen to the owls and coyotes at night. Check in was easy with the directions provided. The cabin was relatively clean but badly in need of some maintenance. The downstairs bathtub drain was full of some white goo we just stayed away from it. The narrow treads on the stairs combined with the rickety railing makes climbing the stairs and adventure! An equally flimsy railing on in the loft was disconcerting. The latch on the deck stuck in the open position and took a good bit of jiggling to get it loose, and still proved difficult to open at times. Our biggest issue was being kept awake by the sound of rodents in the walls at night. There were large rodent traps under the furniture which was pretty disturbing. I get it that rodents are an issue in the country, but would it hurt to have an exterminator come to your rental property occasionally? It was good to get away for a few days, but next time we will choose another rental.

Nice little cabin

Cute cabin for a couple of days. Nice location in relation the wineries as well. I think the ad said a king and queen bed but both appeared to be queen. Otherwise it was clean and my wife loved the atmosphere and decor.

Advertised perfectly.

We took our twin 13 year old daughters here over spring break and they loved it. The property is advertised appropriately. I have nothing negative to say about this cozy cabin. We will definitely be back again.

Quiet Getaway

Located in a quiet rural area, we had deer come visit while we were staying and could watch the stars at night. Close enough to Fredericksburg for an easy drive into town and surrounding wineries, and minutes from Luckenbach. Cute rustic place to stay for something different.

Great place, great people

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin is so beautifully rustic, with all the little amenities that are often overlooked in other rental properties. When the heater wasn't enough during the Christmas freeze, the owner went above and beyond to install an auxiliary heater and provide portable heaters in the meantime. Will definitely visit again!

Maintenance issues

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Mighty Oak Log Cabin looks good from the online pictures,but has a number of maintenance and comfort issues which disappointed this old maintenance guy.1. Logs move and breathe from temperature and relative humidity. They expand and contract at different rates from exterior doors. The cabin's doors were extremely hard to open and close. 2. The wiring in the cabin would have never passed a serious electrical inspection. Electrical outlet boxes were loose. Extension cords were run from the first to second floor and some were buried in the log walls which is a major code violation. 3. Interior doors were secured with cheap bolts which went into worn out holes in the door frames. Not the right way to do that job. 4. The upstairs king size bed really didn't fit in the space provided. Access to the bed was very tight at the corners and both of us had to squeeze past the bed to get out of the area. 5. The stairs to the upstairs loft are a serious safety hazard. The railing and post at the top of the stairs is loose and the steps themselves are very narrow, particularly for an older guest. The cabin was very pretty and we liked the location but the maintenance and design problems were serious enough that we wouldn't stay there again.

quaint rustic Luckenbach hangout

Location was great. Check in/out was great also. Stairway to loft could be dangerous for children or elderly. Served us well for visit to Luckenbach. The overall cost did seem excessive by about 25% considering condition, space, and amenities . We did enjoy and appreciate our stay, however.

Potential

The property definitely needs some upkeep and repairs. You can see sunshine through the walls and you can feel the wind blowing inside the home. Because of the need for repairs, the house is dusty. Window sills and bathtub had dead insects. But the mgmt company was great to work with!! I hope this property gets the attention it needs- it’s such a great little place
