Reader Question: Cabin in the Hill Country?

Dear Paris and John,

My wife and I are looking for a cabin getaway in the Hill Country. I’d like a quiet place; my wife would like a cabin that’s not too rustic. Any ideas?

There are a lot of cabins in the Hill Country so you’ve definitely got a good selection.

If you’d like the amenities of a hotel but the privacy of a cottage, we’d recommend you check out Canyon of the Eagles Lodge. This lodge is in the Canyon of the Eagles Nature park just west of Burnet; the lodge cabins are nice and comfortable but not too nice; the park is quiet and a nice getaway for walks, bird watching and star gazing. There’s a restaurant on site as well as organized park activities if you like.

Settlers Crossing, Fredericksburg. This B&B is made up of cabins just east of Fredericksburg. It’s still close enough to run into Fredericksburg for dinner or Luckenbach for some live music but is located out in the country.

Cotton Gin, Fredericksburg. Also B&B cabins, these are less private than Settlers Crossing (they’re located in a circle and just off a very good restaurant) We toured the cabins in the fall and had dinner at the Cotton Gin; it’s a very nice facility. They’re south of Fredericksburg near the airport.

Homestead B&B Cabin at Becker’s Vineyards, Fredericksburg. Located east of Fredericksburg, this log cabin is really quiet once the winery closes for the night; it’s surrounded by lavender fields and very comfortable.
