Experience tiny home living

Excellent place for a small family or couple. Quiet and peaceful with a beautiful grouping of pine trees and green grass that looks like it’s out of a movie. All the camping spots and cabins have their own fire pits. Cabin had more than enough supplies for a comfortable stay.

Great stay

I stayed 3 nights with my two grandsons we had a great time. We fished the near by lakes it’s best if you have a boat. On Saturday we drove to Lonestar to the water park on lake that was really nice. Great local restaurants food was great and the people were very friendly. Overall great experience. The only issue we had was barking dogs early in the morning.

Mother & Son Getaway

My son and I truly enjoyed our getaway at Music Springs! Julia’s Cottage was cozy and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the fire pit, outdoor games, and walking path. We wrapped up our stay with Java & Jesus with the hosts. We would definitely recommend this gem!

Julia's Cottage

We had at a great stay at Music Springs. Perfect spot to get away & relax for a few days. Vicki was very good at communicating with us. The towels, sheets & blankets smelled nice & fresh. Bathroom was very clean. The cottage was a little dusty & mirrors somewhat hazy but not to a point where we felt uncomfortable. It's located off dirt roads so it's understandable. We have family in the area so we would love to visit the cottage again sometime.

Week in the woods

The property is secluded in the woods. Very peaceful and relaxing. The cottage is small but has everything you need. Ate outside on the porch, no kitchen table. Had a beautiful view & peaceful surroundings. Would definitely stay there again.

Peaceful Stay

We needed a place to get away and just rest. A place away from the city that would offer us solace. Having stayed at Music Springs before, we were positive this would be our place. It did not disappoint us! We were able to rest, relax, enjoy the beautiful scenery in a lovely cabin. The hummingbirds, dragonflies and butterflies were a bonus! We went fishing at a local lake, dined at local restaurants and were able to just fix our own in the convenient kitchen. Dual recliners, comfy bed. Shaded sitting area made coffee and meal time great with a view that's breathtaking. Thanks Vicki and Mike for being such wonderful hosts.

Rest & Relaxation

This was a great relaxing weekend getaway! The hosts were very friendly and sweet. We had a very clean, comfortable, and surprisingly spacious little cabin. My husband and I liked that this was a Christian owned location. It was noted that the owners wanted to Glorify GOD and it was just that! We will be planning another getaway here for sure! Thanks Mr. and Mrs. Maxson for a wonderful place to enjoy for our 24th anniversary.

Not handy cap friendly

The picture of the cottage leaves you with the impression that it is handicap friendly. The handy cap rails in the bathroom were not in a useful spot. Husband could not take shower for fear of falling without handrails

Visited with him on our way out. Suited our needs perfectly. Glassware, etc in kitchen needs a re-wash....covered in dust. Items on shelf above stove had old cooking film on them. Loved the openness once down into the area.
