Good to know

Built in 1975, this handmade cabin is a true Austin original. High on charm and replete with all the modern comforts you'd expect, recent updates include custom kitchen and gorgeous built-in woodwork throughout. Although the space is located just thirty minutes from downtown Austin, you'll be utterly transported by the wooded setting and shimmering lake views. The cabin is adorned with vintage textiles from around the world, handmade piece from makers near and far, and natural elements that highlight the rustic beauty of the space.

The house features a light-filled master bedroom and reading loft, antique clawfoot bathtub, custom-built kitchen, dining area that seats four, as well as a living room and spacious covered patio. The second bedroom stands apart from the main house, and offers ample privacy. The kitchen is fully stocked with Canyon coffee, organic herbal tea, and everything you'll need to cook a gourmet meal. During your stay you'll have full use of the four burner electric stove, convection oven, mini fridge, outdoor chest freezer, stainless steel pots and pans, high quality chef's knives, stoneware, wine glasses, french press and pour-over. This cabin truly is the perfect place to get away for an evening, weekend, or more. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. We look forward to hosting you!

Other Details to Note

: : B A T H R O O M : : *IMPORTANT* We are on an older septic system and have delicate plumbing. We kindly ask that you flush only small amounts of toilet paper to prevent any issues during your stay. When running a bath during the colder months you may need to reduce the flow of the tap to achieve the desired temperature. Rest assured there is plenty of hot water, it may just take a while for the bath to fill! Additionally, please note that the bathroom features an elegant antique clawfoot tub but does not have a shower. The outdoor tub is an absolute dream and we can’t wait for you to experience it! Please note that during periods when temps are below freezing (a rarity in Austin) the tub is not available for use as we have to drain the lines to protect our plumbing! : : F R A G R A N C E : : We pride ourselves on being a synthetic-fragrance free space. We use all-natural cleaning products and ask that you refrain from using strong perfumes or other products that may leave a scent that lingers after you've checked out. : : H E AT I NG / C O O L I N G : : There are two mini-splits located in the main house that are operated by remote control to heat and cool the space. The second bedroom features a window AC unit and space heater. : : N O I S E : : Please note that the cabin is not suitable for those looking for total silence during their stay. While the space is quite peaceful most of the time, we are situated within earshot of houses that occasionally host large parties. We recommend booking mid-week to reduce the likelihood of any late night noise. : : W I L D L I F E : : We are proud to steward wild land where many creatures make their home. Please respect the deer, armadillos, and any other animals you see on the property by giving them space and refraining from feeding them. : : S W I M M I N G : : The cabin is located in within walking distance of Hippie Hollow (clothing optional) and Windy Point. Both require a small entrance fee so be sure to bring cash if you’d like to visit either park. : : P E S T S : : The cabin is routinely treated for pests using non-toxic compounds. However, it is located in a wooded setting and it is possible you may see some critters in or around the space during your stay. If this is the case, please let us know and we will have our team come out to re-treat the house ASAP. : : P H O T O S : : No unauthorized photoshoots are permitted on the property. If you plan to use the space for professional photo or video content you must receive prior consent and pay any applicable fees. Additional fees are based on the nature of the photo shoot and intended usage of photos. Please inquire for details. : : A L L E R G I E S : : Please note that this cabin is not suitable for anyone who suffers from Juniper (aka Cedar) allergies.

Sophia Rose's cottage was such a treat. I would like to come back and stay for a longer period of time. The home is peaceful and serene especially in the evening with the warm glow of lamp lights. Sophia was so responsive and helpful. The home was also very clean and comfortable. Hope to be back soon.

This little magical cabin was everything we didn’t know we needed. It had all the essentials and none of the unnecessary noise — simple, intentional, and peaceful in a way that feels rare. It was the perfect place to land and integrate after a wellness retreat. Quiet mornings, grounded energy, nothing pulling at you. Just space to breathe and actually hear yourself think. Part of me wants to gatekeep it forever because it feels that special… but it’s too magic not to share. I could honestly live there. Possibly be buried there. That’s how deeply it stayed with me. ✨

A wonderful cabin near the lake. Its old, its rustic not all the floors are level but this is all part of its charm. The house is delightfully furnished and super comfortable, with great coffee provided. An incredibly cozy place to relax and unwind.

I had an amazing stay. The space was absolutely beautiful, peaceful, and incredibly calming. Every corner felt thoughtfully designed and inspiring, and I found myself constantly taking photos just to capture how stunning the home and its surroundings were. It was a truly relaxing experience and created memories I will always cherish. I would definitely stay here again.
