Cabins in Texas

Deer cabin same cabin
Warren was a super host and we loved the cabin. He was flexiible with our check in and even though Airbnb double booked he didn't skip a beat and made sure we (and the other party) were accommodated. Can't say enough kind things about this place. Water view, quiet, woodsy, just beautiful. We'll definitely be back!

The Cabin, in town Fredericksburg
I love this little cabin! Quiet, clean, well-appointed, amazing bed, just a few blocks walk from downtown. There’s nothing wrong with this place y’all!

Love Glamping Cabin : Yoga/Hike/Swim @13 Acres
I wish we found this place sooner. The pictures don’t do any justice. Absolutely beautiful place! Everyone is so kind and loving we most definitely will be back! The trails and the magic forest was definitely our favorite! The shower out side was definitely 10 stars! ✨

Cabin in the country on private fishing ponds.
Our stay at this private cabin was amazing! The peaceful setting, private pond, and great amenities made for a perfect getaway. It’s just five minutes from everything yet feels secluded. Adam was a great host—clear instructions and easy to reach. We’d definitely visit again!

Secluded cabin
We always stay at Laura’s place and it’s perfect for us when we travel to Texas. Super clean and private. We 10/10 recommend.

The Cedar Cabin - The Homestead Cottages
Very nice and cozy cabin, we really enjoyed our stay and my favorite part was the view plus the hot tub. Very close to canyon lake and about a 30/40 minute drive to Wimberley. Overall a great choice for a getaway.

Cabin 4 by Colorado Bend State Park
this spot is amazing and perfect for anyone looking to go glamping near Colorado Bend SP. the park is about 13 minutes straight down the street from Bret's location, has private rooms, a shared private bathroom with hot water, and has a heater or AC as needed. The private rooms are connected to an outdoor beer garden, which is also connected to an indoor dance floor/bar where they had live music playing. There were several visitors and everyone was super friendly. I would certainly come back again!

Cozy cabin in the woods at Bluegill Lake Cabins
The Cozy Cabin was just what we needed for a peaceful getaway. Kevin was very responsive and accommodating. The cabin had everything we wanted including a full kitchen, charcoal BBQ, fire pit and hot tub. This is a 20 minute and easy drive to First Monday Canton Trade Days. We highly recommend the place.

Beautiful home in the heart of Waxahachie, close to many restaurants and my favorite grocery store, H.E.B., was just around the corner. Nice and quiet neighborhood. Everything you need as far as furnishings. Ralph was really helpful. Would stay again.

Modern Home near Gateway to Mars
Clean airbnb, was as described and as pictures showed, host is really nice and understanding

Gated Community Home in The Heights 3 BR 3.5 BA
Marcela emailed us detailed instructions. Once we arrived, we had zero problems getting in. The home was in pristine condition. Having a gated property and the fact that both cars fit in the garage was an added feeling of security. I appreciated the extra steps she took to make guests feel welcomed. She has a beautifully decorated home. The property is well cared for and well loved. We would highly recommend the property to others, and will return if we were visiting Houston in the future.

Gorgeous Home 4 Bedroom w/6 Beds
House exactly as described and well located for our weekend activities.

Sunny, Historic Home from Home in Hip Bishop Arts District
We stayed here for a bachelorette weekend and had a great time! The location is very convenient; it is easy to walk to lots of restaurants and shopping nearby. Martha was incredibly responsive and resolved one small issue we had on check in right away. She was very flexible with check in and check out as well, which we appreciated very much! Overall, we had a great weekend, felt very safe, and would definitely stay here again!

Houseboats in Texas

Paradise On the Water!
Great stay, very clean and the surroundings area is beautiful. Such of unique stay and absolutely romantic. My wife and I even had glasses of wine with our toes in the water listening to a live band across the marina. The best part was listening to light rain over the water all night.

Shipwreck with Upper Deck, Lake View & Canoes!
Really cool experience!!! Neat place to stay!!! Being 6’3” little bit low but still very comfortable!!! Everything worked as it should and host was very quick to handle anything we needed!!! Will stay here again!!!!!!!

Keepin It Reel on Caddo Lake (Houseboat)
Cute little houseboat in the best location on Caddo Lake. Highly recommend.

New Beach House
Our stay at Sergio’s place the new home was absolutely incredible experience at this beach house! From the moment we arrived, peaceful, serene atmosphere. The house itself is beautifully designed, with spacious rooms, modern amenities, and tasteful decor. The open-concept living area makes it perfect for relaxing or entertaining, while the outdoor deck offers a perfect spot to enjoy the sunrise or sunset. The downstairs outdoor space was a highlight—plenty of room to unwind, grill out, and enjoy the fresh air. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to the beach and a short drive down to crystal beach . The kitchen is fully equipped, making it easy to prepare meals. The attention to detail in every corner of the house really made us feel at home. The hosts were exceptional as well—responsive, friendly, and clearly take great pride in maintaining the property. I would highly recommend this beach house to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway. We can’t wait to come back!

**Casa Ocaso** Houseboat on Beautiful Lake Travis
I had a great weekend get away at this spot. It was perfect for some peace and quiet during a cold wintery night. The host kept me informed and updated with changes which I sincerely appreciated. I would recommend this spot for a cozy camp night out.

Feel the Harmony with our Cozy Houseboat
Sweet spot, incredibly affordable, great proximity to the Boardwalk.
Your guide to Texas
Welcome to Texas
This vast state — the biggest in the contiguous United States — sweeps from semi-tropical white-sand beaches to forests, rolling prairies, windswept plains, and desert sand dunes. It even has the country’s second-largest gorge: the Panhandle’s Palo Duro Canyon. Texas has 16 areas preserved by the National Park Service, ranging from Padre Island — one of the world’s only hypersaline lagoons — to the Palo Alto Battlefield, where U.S. and Mexican troops fought in 1846. Standouts include the colorful, fossil-rich Guadalupe Mountains and the cactus-studded solitude of Big Bend. The five San Antonio Missions, including the Alamo, do double duty as a World Heritage Site too.
This big-hearted state offers something for everyone, from cattle drives to cutting-edge music and gleaming modern architecture. Food highlights include BBQ, Tex-Mex, and festival wackiness like fried PB&J sandwiches. The connecting tissue? Admiration for the countryside and its folksy, slowed-down ways harking back to Texas’ farming and ranching heritage. Wherever you go, find time to sit for a spell and soak it all in.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Texas
The climate varies wildly across the state’s 268,596 square miles. But broadly speaking, spring and fall remain the best times for pleasant weather. Fall has the advantage of avoiding the peak festival crowds who flock to the state’s southern half, especially South Padre Island. March comes in like a lion with Austin’s SXSW, which celebrates the convergence of the film, music, and tech industries. April typically draws 3.5 million people to Fiesta San Antonio, an 11-day heritage bash that includes the Battle of Flowers parade. Texas doubles down on Juneteenth across the state. Autumn brings the State Fair to a Dallas park that’s a National Historic Landmark, as well as the Texas Renaissance Festival to Houston. Then the Austin City Limits music festival draws big-name acts for two weeks in October.
Top things to do in Texas
Hamilton Pool Preserve
A natural spring pockets the Hill Country chaparral, creating an emerald grotto fringed by maidenhair ferns, 30 miles west of Austin. But it’s more than just a pretty swimming hole with waterfalls (depending on the season). The preserve protects the fragile canyon and animals like the endangered golden-cheeked warbler that rely on it.
Mineral Wells Fossil Park
An ancient sea deposited fossils of corals, urchins, sea lilies, and even primitive sharks here 300 million years ago — an area now 87 miles west of Dallas. This buried treasure emerged due to erosion in the city’s old landfill, closed in the early 1990s. Today paleontologists, amateur and professional, can dig here using small gardening tools and take home their finds for personal use. Note: the site has basic restrooms and no running water. Bring plenty of liquids and also an umbrella for shade.
Terlingua Ghost Town
This abandoned Victorian mining village sits between Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park, 13 miles north of the U.S.-Mexican border. Once a leading producer of quicksilver, Terlingua faded after World War II. Today visitors can explore the ruins and a simple cemetery, known for its Day of the Dead celebrations. The town has a few tourist amenities, and attracts crowds for its chili cook-offs in early November and late February.
