Quiet country life 10 minutes to New Braunfels or San Marcos

Joy's Country Cabin is located in the beautiful rolling hills, on the southern edge of the Texas Hill Country. We are just 10 minutes to either New Braunfels, San Marcos or Seguin and about 35 minutes to San Antonio or Austin. The house overlooks a cottage garden and a small pond frequented by wildlife. The setting is one of rolling hils and small farms - a tranquil, peaceful spot - yet it's only minutes from shopping, restaurants and local attractions. It's a great place to vacation, honeymoon, or get away. The large front porch and garden area is the ideal place to relax and unwind. A charcoal grill is also provided for those who enjoy outdoor cooking.

The living room is a circa 1850's log cabin which has been lovingly restored. The remainder of the house is newly built using old materials, giving the home a charming, rustic feel. It is furnished and decorated with country antiques, patchwork quilts and 'Texas treasures.' The large kitchen, dining, living area is big enough for your family to gather together. The kitchen is fully equipped with full size appliances, pots and pans, dishes, and utensils. The home has 3 bedrooms. The master bedroom has a queen bed. The second bedroom has two double beds and the third bedroom has a twin bed. There is also a futon in the living room.
The house has all the charm that only a log cabin can have combined with accommodations of the 21st century. It has central heating and air conditioning, satellite TV and a utility room with washer and dryer. So come visit and experience all that our country home has to offer.

Also on the same 60-acre property we have just furnished the 100-year old Farmhouse for a vacation rental. It is located on top of a hill and from there are fantastic views of the countryside. It has similar amenities as Joy's Country Cabin and is roomier so it can more easily accommodate larger groups. Call or email to ask about either The Cabin or The Farmhouse.

Scenic and Rustic
We really enjoyed the mid 1800's style cabin with modern amenities. We even got to see deer. It's was quiet and the morning view from the front porch was wonderful. I highly recommend it.

Perfect location for the wedding at Harper Hill Ranch
It was great being just a few miles from the wedding location. It's nice, quiet, and relaxing on the front porch, and the place is very well managed. The place is clean and neat, and I will use it again.

A taste of rural Texas close to cultural gems - Austin and San Antonio
The cabin, beautifully restored and expanded by Sherman and tastefully decorated with antiques by Joy was fun and comfotable to stay in. Nice view of the farm pond and fields from the porch. Several state parks, downtown San Antonio and Austin all within an hour's drive. Lots of interesting things to see and do in the area.

Front Porch Living
We were in town for work in the New Braunfels area for 11 days. Long days with lots of physical labor and lots of people around at work. But then, quiet relaxing on a front porch with an east view, a few cows in the distance and fresh air. The house was the right size for rehearsing and warming up for the shows, as well as comfy for 4 people to sleep, eat and visit. We will be back!

Adorable log cabin
Very adorable place. Had everything we needed except the food. Peaceful area and the stars at night were absolutely amazing! It was about a 20 min drive to go tube the guatalupe river but no big deal at all really.
