Only 7 miles away from Lost Maples SNA, the Cottage is in close proximity to all activities in the Lost Maples Region, Sabinal Canyon and Frio Canyon areas. The Cottage is part of a 6 acre property that includes 4 other cabins that are nestled in a valley between Vanderpool and Leakey. Located right off of FM 337 you'll be positioned to branch out to a multitude of local activities such as tubing the Frio River, golfing at the Utopia Golf Course where Robert Duvall filmed "Seven Days in Utopia", Garner State Park and more. With tall, dense, mature stands of Ashe juniper mixed with Texas Oaks and Lacey Oaks along the steep-sided canyons, this stretch of FM 337 has been designated as one of the most popular scenic highways in Texas and referred to as the "Swiss Alps of Texas". The Cottage's interior offers wood beams, cathedral ceilings, hardwood floors, wood-burning fireplaces, central air/heat, TV with VCR and/or DVD, video library, and an informal dining area with a fully equipped kitchenette (in-cabin coffee setup, microwave, full size refrigerator and stove, pots, pans and dishes). The open floor plan with a king size bed and bunk beds built into the wall makes it perfect for a family of 4 or a "girl's getaway". From your private porch you can enjoy watching the many species of birds that visit the feeders. We even provide bird seed for you. And those squirrels! Who doesn't love to watch a squirrel as they try to steal seed from the feeder? There is a charcoal BBQ grill (BYOC), camp fire ring, picnic table and outdoor dining table available for you to enjoy as you soak up nature in one of the most beautiful, and peaceful settings in the hill country. Surrounded by mountains and oak trees, you'll love how the wind speaks to you as it rustles the leaves, beckoning for you to relax and enjoy a slower pace of life. No cell phone service? No problem. Fast, reliable and secure internet is available at each cabin, giving you more choices in how you want to "unplug" . While you are at the cabins it's "you" time. It's about spending time with family or friends with no distractions. It's about leaving your worries and cares behind and reconnecting with what is important. Located on the Heart of Texas Wildlife Trail, The Cottage offers good birding and wildlife viewing opportunities year round. The area is home to over 200 species of birds including the Golden-cheeked Warbler, Painted Bunting, Tufted Titmouse, Summer Tanager, Vermillion Flycatcher, Black-chinned Hummingbird and Black-capped Vireo. In the nearby town of Utopia you can play golf on the 9 hole course where the movie 'Seven Days in Utopia' was filmed starring Robert Duvall, or enjoy an enchanted lunch or dinner on Saturdays at The Laurel Tree Guest Table Restaurant. The Laurel Tree is owned by Le Cordon Bleu Paris graduate Laurel Waters and offers a menu that changes weekly consisting of the freshest, seasonal ingredients. A unique private dining tree house built by Tree House Masters is also available on the Laurel Tree property by reservation only. Mac and Ernie's Roadside Eatery is a more laid back option although the food is a special experience you won't want to miss. Mac and Ernie's is located about 35 miles from the cabin in Tarpley. Reservations are not necessary but highly recommended for parties of 8 people or more. Local attractions include Lost Maples State Natural Area, Garner State Park, Hill Country State Natural Area, Frio River tubing, horseback riding, Devil's Sinkhole and Frio Bat Flights. There's plenty to do in the Tri-Canyon area, but sometimes you can find enjoyment in doing nothing at all. At The Cottage nature can provide the entertainment, and we provide the "rest". Sit back and relax at your cabin, cook on the grill and enjoy star gazing or making s'mores by the campfire. Whether a romantic getaway for two or a family fun-packed vacation, The Cottage has something for everyone. Please Note: We are a 'No Pets' facility. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cabin: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - TV - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Porch ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (on request) ### Location highlights - In a rural location ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Kayaking nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Swimming nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Housekeeping (on request) - Unit size: 522 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/36000000/35840000/35835200/35835181/6513b306.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Treehouse - A Hill Country Gem in the Lost Maples Region!
