Seclusion in the Lost Pines hosted by Jan

Secluded rustic cabin on 255 acres of private pine forest. Enjoy hiking, mountain biking & views from large deck. Cabin's decor is based on local legend & Broadway hit, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, replete with the madam's bed. Fully stocked kitchen with coffee maker, blender, microwave, & dishwasher. BBQ on the outdoor propane grill and enjoy a campfire under the stars (bring your own firewood). 2 miles off highway. Perfect for couples, solo adventurers, and families. Pets are allowed with single $25 pet fee per stay. Up to three pets. Please let us know if you will be bringing yours.

Our cabin is on property that has been in our family since the early 1800s and guests are encouraged to walk, ride (bring your bike) and enjoy the serenity of the area at their leisure. You’ll find the construction of our cabin comfortable, attractive and interesting. Newly renovated as of January 2019 with updated appliances and vinyl flooring throughout. The cabin's interior walls are of cedar and the exposed rafters add an extra charm. The front and back doors are usually open to enjoy the gentle breeze that blows through the cabin. Well water can taste and smell like sulfur. Recommend bringing your own drinking water. Enjoy the beauty of over 200 acres of private land.

Slice of heaven
This was our second stay and we absolutely love it out here. So peaceful and well accommodated. The hosts are the best I've ever worked with for vacation rentals. The property is so neat to explore. We brought our e-bikes this time and it made for some great rides as well as an easy trip to Buescher next door to ride the road to Bastrop. A+ vacation!!

Adventure
We arrived early like 5am..there are signs but we got lost for a moment..there are signs that say cabin but very hard to see in the dark..suggestion reflection paint It is a rough ride with dirt,clay and rock road for 1.5 mile in the property..the ride is more than worth it Our hosts were very kind. The cabin was well furnished The only thing (besides the reflective paint) are instructions on what to in case of Tornado warnings and watches and nickel to quarter sized hail and keeping your wind sheild in tact Would i stay there again. Better believe it

Cozy Cabin
This cozy cabin in the woods was just what we were looking for. It was peaceful and quiet. We hiked in several State Parks. And even walked around the property. Buescher State Park is only a few mikes away. The sunsets on the back porch were amazing. The cabin had everything we needed. The reclining couches sure felt good after the miles we walked.

Shock and Awe!!
The cabin is well off the beaten path…and on top of a hill!!! The back porch view is a vista, not a view. It’s absolutely beautiful. The cabin is perfectly rustic with all the conveniences. The road to the cabin is bumpy and rocky. I drive a car so getting to the cabin was slow going but that was ok because of the views!! You just have to be careful. Overall, we could not have found a better getaway. Bed & breakfast’s can’t hold a candlestick to this property!

Wonderful Getaway
My husband and I loved our stay at the cabin. We were spending 3 days shopping the Round Top antique show and it was nice coming back to the cabin and just relaxing on the back porch. Truly perfection. The cabin was roomier then I thought it would be. The decor was thoughtfully done, had all the comfort you needed and extremely clean. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend to others looking for a wonderful getaway.

Another great stay
This was the 3rd year in a row that we have stayed here and would continue to recommend. Host is great and its not through a management company, which is always a plus. She responds quick even though we have never had an issue. Will be coming back here for sure.
