    12 Charming Texas Hill Country Cabins From Fredericksburg To New Braunfels

    Laura Ray
    March 27, 2022

    West of Austin and north of San Antonio, the Texas Hill Country region provides a scenic escape from city life. Because of its location in the southwestern central region of Texas, it’s easy to take a Texas Hill Country road trip.

    Videos by TravelAwaits

    From wineries and unique restaurants to state parks, caverns, and beautiful lakes, there is so much to see and so many things to do. Swim, snorkel, kayak, and fish in the rivers and lakes or go biking or hiking. At night, gaze up at the stars, which are known for being big and bright deep in the heart of Texas. Relax under live oak and pecan trees and watch for birds and other wildlife.

    Make the most of your experience by staying in a Texas Hill Country cabin. Here are some of our favorites, from Fredericksburg to New Braunfels.

    Nueces River Treehouse

    Located 30 miles north of Uvalde and about 10 miles south of Campwood, this two-bedroom riverfront treehouse boasts spectacular views of the Nueces River and hills from its large deck. Under the deck, there’s a shaded outdoor space that has a bathroom, bar, kitchenette, porch swing, and hammock. Grill out on the barbecue and roast marshmallows over the fire pit.

    The Nueces River is known for its clear, warmer waters that flow into it from spring-fed Hill Country creeks. Nueces means “nuts” in Spanish. The river is named so for the pecan trees which dot the riverside. It’s great for swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, and fishing for bass, sunfish, and perch. Bird watching, biking, hiking, and hunting are also popular in the area. Keep an eye out for wildlife in the mornings and stargaze at night.

    If this place is booked during your desired dates or you need more space, check out the host’s other nearby properties: this beautiful blue hole Nueces riverfront cabin and this riverfront house.

    Beautiful location, secluded, house is in good condition. Swings and porch area are great for watching the sunrise. Would definitely visit here again!
    6 adults stayed here for a long weekend. Had a great, relaxing time. It was so nice to just walk down the steps to a beautiful river of water and float on a tube. House was perfect, we cooked every meal there and really enjoyed the outdoor area below the house to play cards and dice games. We will be back! Thanks Tina for all the info before we got there, and the property Manager Nathan was very nice and came over each morning to see if we needed anything. GREAT SERVICE!
    We had an amazing trip. The cabin was like a dream and we all loved our time at the river. Can’t wait to visit again soon!
    This one is nice a Cozy and we love the underneath we cook under it all week was perfect.
    We had such a fun and relaxing time!! Everything was fabulous! The water was absolutely beautiful and the treehouse was perfect! We will definitely be coming back!

    Unique Upcycled Grain Bin Cabin

    If staying in a grain bin that has been converted into a cabin doesn’t appeal to you, then keep scrolling. If that sounds cool, then check out this vacation rental that lies less than two hours from San Antonio in Leakey, Texas. Giant live oak and pecan trees shade the yard, which features a grill, picnic tables, and a firepit. It’s the perfect place for yard games, stargazing, and bird watching.

    From April to October, watch millions of Mexican free-tailed bats emerge from their cavern when the sun goes down at Devil’s Sinkhole State Natural Area. Offering a nightly dance in the summer, putt-putt golf, paddleboats, hiking, and caves, popular Garner State Park is just 8 miles away. Home to Monkey Rock, great hiking, fall foliage, and a vineyard, scenic Lost Maples State Natural Area is less than half an hour away. A local float trip is available as well. Take a scenic drive to other nearby Hill Country towns, such as Fredericksburg, Utopia, Bandera, and Vanderpool.

    Without a doubt one of my favorite cabins Ive stayed in. Upon arrival rick prompted us with directions and even gave us his personal # in case we needed anything else. This grain bin cabin is a unique and cozy build with plenty of land to yourself and only 15 minutes from garner state park. We loved it and will be returning before the year is over. It’s very clean and has everything you need!
    This is our second time staying here we enjoyed it just as much as the first time! Location is excellent, very clean and the owners are friendly & very attentive to any of your needs! We are looking forward to coming back again in the future! Perfect for all families!
    Great location just right outside of town and the cabin was super clean with everything you need. We will be back!
    Such a wonderful location to stay when visiting the frio! Short drive to garner and also close river access! We loved this place and can’t wait to come back again!
    Although the River wasn’t running, the property was well maintained and comfortable.

    Miracle Springs Ranch Lodge

    Perched on a 754-acre high-elevation ranch, this waterfront lodge offers panoramic views and a whole lot more. Inside there’s a pool table and fireplace, but outside, you’ll find two lakes, a private pool and hot tub, a spacious yard, and a giant grill and smoker. Fish off the pier while taking in amazing mountain views. The host also provides a small selection of complimentary boats and tubes. Rock trails are great for hiking and mountain biking, while the grounds are great for watching wildlife and stargazing.

    Both kid- and pet-friendly, this Texas Hill Country cabin can accommodate up to 20 guests, but the price listed is based on six with a $50 fee for each additional guest per day. Do note that the hosts live on site.

    One of the most famous trees in Texas, the ancient Rio Frio Landmark Oak, lies just down the road. Bikers should bring their hogs to test out on the Twisted Sisters Trail. Although remote, Hill Country towns such as Leakey and Vanderpool can be found close by this vacation rental. Lost Maples State Natural Area, Garner State Park, and tubing on the Frio River are all within a half an hour’s drive.

    We could not have asked for a more perfect family vacation. Relaxing in the pool (with views of the most breathtaking scenary), making lifetime memories…without ever having to leave the property was a dream! The only regret we have, as mentioned by numerous others, is that we didn’t book for longer! We CANNOT wait to get back & we plan to make it our annual family vacation spot!
    If you don’t need fancy, this is a wonderful place to sit and rock, teach young ones to fish and catch some for yourself, enjoy a beautiful relaxing pool area. The kids had plenty of room to run and be kids. Best part was driving into the ranch and have our 3 year old grandsons loving the rollercoaster.The hosts were probably the best we have ever had from a VRBO rental. Very welcoming and accommodating. Thanks for sharing your house with us.
    The lodge is located in a beautiful part of the Hill Country with a lot of acreage. The facilities are top-notch with many family friendly things to do. It was so peaceful and relaxing our family is eager to return.
    Excellent experience, great people, great location, great views and activities. Everything was clean and above par. The whole family liked it.
    The only negative thing about our stay was the fact that we couldn’t stay longer. The hosts/owners were excellent, very friendly and helpful. The lodge had everything we needed and was very clean. My suggestion to anyone thinking of booking a stay at the ranch is to make sure you set aside a few full days to enjoy the property and take it all in.

Guadalupe Park and River Trail offer even more fresh air less than a mile from the house.

    Beautifully decorated home near town and the river. Cutest house in the neighborhood. Well stocked with everything we needed.
    Great house to stay in. Newly remodeled and done nicely. Awesome sitting area in back. Malinda was an awesome hostess and accommodated us nicely.

    Das Steinhaus

    Texas Hill Country has unique German influences, and the name of this vacation rental is one of them. “The Stone House” (translated from German!) sleeps up to eight guests in three bedrooms — one with a king and two with queen beds.

    Enjoy being surrounded by wide open spaces and make the most of the house’s pool and hot tub, indoor and outdoor fireplaces, patio television, and comfy lounge area. Later in spring and early in the summer, you can even pick fruit from the property’s 2-acre on-site orchard. And when you’re ready for fruits of a different preparation, head for the nearby Hill Country wineries.

    The house was nice and we enjoyed our stay. The problem is Absolute Charm. We spent a good amount of time cleaning up the house before our checkout time. An hour later I get an email that an extra fee has been charged to credit card on file. We requested more details as to why the charge had been assessed. That’s when things got strange. 45 minutes after our request, we got an email with photos attached. The property managers had actually taken the time to pull trash out, place it various places around the house, to make it look like we left the house in bad shape. I told them the photos had been doctored, but they stood by their claim and their charge. They’ll probably reply to this review and refute my story, but don’t trust these people. Look at their yelp reviews. They have a pattern of this behavior.
    This property is ideal for a short break if you do need to be in the centre of town. Easy access to local wineries yet away from the main road. Beautifully decorated although we didn’t find the beds to our liking. Also, the hot tub was not functioning and we were unable to get this remedied before we checked out. This, along with the pool, had been a major factor in choosing this property so it was very disappointing. Also, the automatic gate to the property did not appear to be working. Whilst this is a minor thing, it may indicate a lack of oversight from the management company. All in all, though, a lovely property to get away from things yet still be close to shops, wineries and other attractions.
    We’ve stayed at this site several times, but this is the first time we’ve seen the new pool. I love the pool!! It was very refreshing to come back to in the middle of July. The location is perfect for visiting all the sites.
    This rental was perfect and mostly what we expected! The only complaints I had were the beds upstairs were very noisy and uncomfortable. We were only left 2 rolls of toilet paper per bathroom and 4 trash bags which wasn’t near enough for 6 of us. Overall the place was great and we had a wonderful time and would stay here again!
    This was a perfect getaway spot for me and my husband! Overall the house was lovely. It was clean, uncluttered and aesthetically pleasing. But, the cleaning crew could have done a better job sweeping the floor. The house was secluded and close to pastures with cattle and vineyards which was serene and relaxing. So, expect the flys that go along with farm animals. We would definately stay there again!

    Very peaceful, Very Clean
    We had a wonderful time relaxing at this cute cabin surrounded by nature while exploring Fredericksburg! It has everything you could possibly need! Owners made great suggestions for dinner in town!
    We came up from Corpus Christi for a weekend getaway and recharge. This was the perfect place to do both. The property is so welcoming and cute. We were welcomed with a basket of wine, chocolates, and a meat, cheese, cracker snack. The basket also had a thank you note, very nice touch. We enjoyed everything the cabin had to offer inside and out. A short drive into town for food and shopping was convenient. I am looking for another opportunity to visit again.
    We will stay here again!
    Charming cabin in the hill country. We were conveniently located near town but not too close. This was s peaceful place.

    The property was nice and just what we needed. The atmosphere outside was so peaceful and quiet! We loved all the of the deer and fox that visited daily. That was the best part about this location. We enjoyed the games on the patio. The place is conveniently located to so many little cities: San Marcos, Gruene, New Braunfels, Wimberely. We enjoyed all of these places along with a day on Canyon Lake boating, swimming and tubing. We floated both the Comal and Guadeloupe Rivers. Lots to do and relax.
    We rented this home for a week and it was fantastic, the views were great and the proximity to everything was perfect! We had a blast!
    Great property
    We really enjoyed our stay. There were a few glitches, but Hilda was very responsive. Deer walked through the property daily. They seemed to be right at home in the area. The house is very nice. Only suggestion… bring your own pillows. The pillows are very soft. I need a firm pillow. But that is not a negative comment. No one can specifically cater to everyone’s needs. Thank you for the great stay!
    We enjoyed our week at the Canyon Lake Cabin. Although not directly on the lake, the cabin has a high vantage point overlooking the lake, and the porch is a wonderful spot to relax in the evening. The cabin is new and clean with very nice amenities and serves as an excellent base to access nearby Hill Country towns and sites. The owner and property manager were both very responsive to concerns; our login code apparently was not registered, but a quick phone call resolved the issue.We are looking forward to staying here again!

    Excellent get away with co-workers in an exceptional house!
    Everything about the property could be summed up with two words- Simply Beautiful! The view was amazing and the cabin was spectacular! I would recommend this place to all my family and friends!
    Amazing home! We had a full house and it was the perfect place. With 2 kitchens, multiple dining spaces and living rooms it was a great area to spend the weekend with friends. We enjoyed a game night at the massive dining table! Enough beds to actually sleep 16. No one needed an air mattress. The back deck was a great place to enjoy the views and sunset. Will definitely be booking this house again!
    We had an amazing experience during our stay. Everything was clean and we had everything we needed.
    This property has one of the most beautiful views I think I’ve seen in Texas. Eating breakfast on the back porch taking in the view is a great way to start your day. The house was very spacious and it was nice to be able to spread out. I will definitely want to stay here again in the future.

    Small beautiful property right on the Guadalupe River. This place is great for family of 4 mom, dad, and 2 kids or 2 couples. This place has everything you need from BBQ, to paddle boards. Nice big yard in quite neighborhood. Would definitely rent again.
    The view was beautiful. It was so wonderful to be able to step out of the back door and see the river. It was very peaceful and the landscaping was immaculate.We enjoyed our stay and hope to return sometime in the future.
    We loved this beautiful property and the home was very well equipped. We enjoyed using the water toys (kayak, paddleboard and floats). Hope to be back soon!
    Absolutely stunning and immaculate
    This was a beautiful place to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary. The location is near many hiking trails and close to Canyon lake where we enjoyed a guided fishing tour which we loved! We enjoyed the close town of Wimberley, there is much to explore! Tubing is located just around the corner and there is a delicious Cafe called Granny D’s just up the road ! We loved the property, very clean and well stocked with all necessities! We would definitely stay here again!

    Cozy Comal River Cabin

    Speaking of tubing, if that’s on your Texas Hill Country agenda, stay in a restored 100-year-old railroad cabin on the Comal River in New Braunfels. Each of the eight cozy cabins has its own theme. This one is decked out in railroad memorabilia, while this one has a Texas theme and this one has a military theme. They are all connected by one deck, which is convenient if you’re renting out more than one for a group.

    Located directly above the famous tube chute, Texas Tubes is right next door, and Landa Park Golf Course is across the street.

    The cabin was exactly what you see in the pictures. It was very clean and an awesome size for a weekend getaway! We really enjoyed our stay and we will be booking again in the future!
    Property was very clean and a great location . Cabin had all the amenities needed, with comfortable beds . Property manager was quick to respond when asked questions. Highly recommend.
    We always have a great time here!!
    Exactly what is described
    This is our fav property we have stayed at during our annual Comal River float. The ease of check in was amazing! Communication with Veronica couldn’t have been better! Our cabin was SO cute, well stocked with everything we needed and our patio with comfy chairs and a picnic table was perfect! The best thing about this spot is the location! No loading up the car and driving to a tube rental or launch site! Just a 3min walk down the hill to Texas Tubes was great and even better the short walk back to the cabin after a 4hr float (and a few adult beverages!) was safe and easy!! We are already looking at our calendars to book next year and can’t wait to stay again!! And I almost forgot all the adorable baby deer eating from the bird feeder and strolling between the cabins! We had so much fun watching them we didn’t even think to take pictures!!

    Place was clean and well kept. It was just as described. We will stay there again.
    I cannot say enough about this cottage. It was just perfect. The location is so close to historic Gruene that you could almost walk there if you wanted to. The cottage and grounds were so scenic and beautiful that we didn’t want to leave and go anywhere else. The cottage was even cuter in person and the beds were comfortable. I HIGHLY recommend staying here.
    We absolutely enjoyed our time! It was so peaceful and relaxing but also beautiful. They have done a great job and the owner was so nice! It will not disappoint!!
    Great property, cute cottages and activities included such as fire pit, horseshoes and games inside the cottage. Had a wonderful time with family – would definitely recommend!

    Made our trip to Round Top for the spring antique shows unforgettable!
    Really cute place!!!
    Had a great weekend. Highly recommended.
    Loved the quietness and spaciousness of the property. A great place to stay. All the hot water you’ll ever need and the softness of the bed will put a person in a sleep coma for the night! Couldn’t have been more pleased.
    Spent two days getting an escape from the city to enjoy a quiet respite at a calm pace. The silo was decorated just as pictured. Wifi, AC and hot water were all strong and effective and the bed was very comfortable. Really enjoyed the stay and found the check in and out process easy. Would recommend for a couple looking for something a little different.
