Heaven on Earth

Val and Keith are exceptional hosts, and they have a wonderful piece of property. It’s at the dead end of an already remote road. Their cabin is truly a retreat. A fireplace insert isn’t just for aesthetics; it has a heater in it, and the central air/heat work very well. Once one discovers what is there, it is difficult to leave. We discovered at least 30 species of birds that call this property home. Also, expect to see fox, turkeys, rabbits,wild hogs, deer, squirrels, raccoons, and maybe animals we didn’t see.There are sitting areas positioned all over the yard for views of the hill country, sunrises, sunsets, and wildlife. Yards games and a patio kitchen also provide plenty of outdoor entertainment. There are also binoculars to view those long distance vistas. The stars at night are big and bright at this “deep in the heart of Texas” home! We look forward to returning to this VRBO. Val and Keith, keep up the great work!!!

Loved our stay and we will probably come back

We loved our stay. The best parts were the view, the wildlife we saw, and the fact that we were had total privacy, no noisy neighbors. The fox visited at night, we saw deer a couple of times near the property and not to mention lots of cardinals around the bird feeders. Valerie and Keith were very helpful and responsive.

Gorgeous View with Hummingbirds

We had a wonderful time! The house is situated on a hill with a spectacular view, and has been designed to take advantage of it. Huge windows with rocking chairs facing out makes it easy to enjoy the view regardless of the weather. The wildlife was an unexpected pleasure. The hummingbirds put on quite a show, and we saw many other birds, a deer with her fawn, armadillos and a fox. The hosts were very helpful and the house was well stocked with everything one might need. I would recommend this home to anyone who wants to enjoy nature and yet still be close to all the Hill Country has to offer.

tranquil and beautiful

This is our third time to stay here and absolutely LOVE it. It is so quite and peaceful. No vehicle or construction noise, just the birds singing (and several beautiful ones too). One of our favorite things is all the places you have to relax (front porch, outside under the sun, and under to car port with rockers and chairs). Lots of places to walk around too. Very beneficial that we get to use the gas grill and the games provided too.

Little slice if Heaven

What a perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of our crazy, busy lives and relax! The home is clean, well decorated and stocked with everything you need to make your stay comfortable. The porch has amazing views of the beautiful Hill Country with the added bonus of lots of wildlife to watch. The only sounds you hear while here are the sounds of nature, the whirling of hummingbird wings, the calls of many variety of birds, occasional grunt of pigs or gobble of a turkey, then the deer stroll past. We have stayed at many VRBO homes, this one is the best!

Sweet Serenity

This place was amazing! It had the most breathtaking views. All the amenities needed - we enjoyed amazing sunsets and gorgeous mountain views. We saw deer near the house a few times. You can tell they enjoy it. This place was so nice and tucked away! I cannot recommend this place more. This was the perfect getaway for my husband and I.

This is our third time at the cabin, just love it. It is so relaxing, comfortable and very peaceful. Plan to go back many more times. One of our favorite things is the oversized covered parking/patio that has a built-in gas grill with several tables and chairs, so even if it is raining we can still be outside and take in the great view

A "get away from it all" experience

We loved the 4 nights we stayed at this cabin. The peace and quiet were such a wonderful experience. The hummingbirds were a constant source of delight to watch. The fox came almost every evening to sit on the big flat rock and enjoyed the dog biscuits I laid out. The deer also came to say hello. A raccoon waddled by on the front porch one night while we were inside. The home was very clean and well loved. The hosts were very prompt answering any questions.

Amazing get away!

This is an amazing get away! If you’re looking for a quiet place to just unplug and unwind, this is the place. The Hunter’s have thought of everything; it’s a wonderful place, all amenities that are needed, right down to dog bones that attract the deer and foxes. Even though you are close to the quant town of Comfort, you have everything that you need to stay at the cabin; a full kitchen, an outdoor gas grill, so bring your own food and just stick around. You’re right on top of a deep canyon and the air is crisp. Many wonderful places to sit and just enjoy nature. We’re now calling this ‘our hill country cabin’ and will be back on a regular basis. We highly recommend staying here.

About the host

Host profile image
We have lived in this home on weekends and it is a perfect place to get a away from it all! We feel like we are on vacation every time we come here! Guests also notice the awesome view and how quiet it is. It's definitely out in the country. Good restaurants around or cook on the outdoor propane grill (with a view) or in the fully equipped kitchen. Our home is 15 years old and decorated in Hill Country charm! We hope you like it as much as our family does! Valerie and Keith

Why they chose this property

Best get away from it all! We bought and built this property because of the wonderful views of the Hill Country. You can't see another house from our large picture windows! It's really neat at night to see the stars or during a storm with it's panoramic views. Relax on the porch and look out for 50 miles from our hilltop home! Visit the local wineries and drink a few glasses of wine at sunset admiring the view and the wild life.

What makes this property unique

Lots of wildlife and birds to observe and enjoy! Awesome views out the many windows or from the front porch. We see whitetail deer, raccoons, fox, armadillos, wild pigs, Sage Jays, Painted Buntings, Hummingbirds and more! Very quiet, secluded and beautiful.
You will have the place all to yourself to hike or sit and enjoy the view!
Great location for many day trips to the fun and historic towns of the Hill Country or just enjoy the view!
