ESCAPE THE ORDINARY!

Million dollar views from this hilltop cabin on 57 acres is yours to experience all to yourself! Romantic and secluded with Grand Views in all directions. Perfect for a getaway from it all.

Just a short drive to Main Street shops and wineries, this is home away from home with blazing fast Starlink internet.

Soak in the luxurious hot tub or in the cowboy pool under the Texas sky, star gaze, ride the trails in the Kawasaki Mule, hike and explore or just make memories around the fire pit.

The cowboy pool is 10 in diameter and 2 deep for cooling off. The Cowboy Pool is filtered and chlorinated. The cowboy pool currently is not heated but the heater/chiller is being installed Mid-November 2023. The heater is intended to heat the pool in early spring when the water is to cold. The chiller will also keep the water cooler in summer, however, we have not experienced the water to get above 85 degrees in the summer months.

You have access to the entire property and this is the only cabin on 57 acres! You have total privacy wit no cabins next door unlike others in the area. You have complete access exploring, hiking and experiencing the entire property during your stay. Rent the Kawasaki mule for full enjoyment. The location of GWR is considered a micro-climate due to the deep valleys that create shade and is usually 3-5 degrees cooler than San Antonio, Austin or Dallas. GWR is even cooler than DT Fredericksburg.

An owners greets all guests upon arrival and gives a short tour of the property. We want to ensure that you found the property as its very large and there are many private ranch roads in the area where you could get lost. Its best to use the Waze app for directions.

GWR borders several very large ranches and depending on the direction of the wind you may hear sounds in the distance from these large ranches. Also, in Texas whitetail season runs Nov - Jan and you may hear shots in the distance during whitetail hunting season. No hunting is allowed at GWR.

In order to keep our Wildlife Exemption with the County we have University Students that may come onto the property to do their research from May - December (Usually during the week and usually only once or twice a year). The Students do not come near the cabin and only perform their research studies on the propertys grasses and insects, etc. The Students will have no contact with guests if one should be on the property during your stay.

During the winter months our native ladybugs look for warm places to stay. If the doors are left open they will fly in and usually stay on the ceilings where there is warmer air. Please try to keep the doors closed as much as possible. Our friends can just be vacuumed up if you should see one or two.
