Home Sweet Home
Quiet private neighborhood. Very helpful and responsive host. Great location medical center. Clean home.

~Casa Blanca~ Modern 2BR/2BA | Dallas | Fair Park
Eric‘s place was very clean well appointed and we would definitely go back and stay there again

Clean & cozy home in Desoto near downtown
This Airbnb was exactly what we were looking for! it was close to the event we were visiting for and the area was extremely quiet. Loudie was great and accommodated our last minute changes and any other issues we had. Will absolutely be staying here again when we come back next year!

Mojo Dojo, Bera's House
Mbera was an excellent host! Kind and thoughtful! The house was lovely with friendly neighbors. Very homey and convenient to restaurants and essentials! We will def stay here again!

Lovely Home in Round Rock - Close to Dell Diamond
What we needed was in the home. The layout of the home was very functional. Place was clean. The beds were comfortable. Maya always responded and even allowed us to checkout an hr later.

Welcome to our Brand New Home!
My family and I stayed here for the weekend . It was absolutely beautiful and the hosts made us feel right at home . This will be our go to everytime we are in the McAllen area .

Lil Blue House by the River|Trinity Groves
Best Airbnb home I have stayed in! Host was very friendly and the home was so nice and clean. 10/10 would stay again!! so glad to have found this gem! ❤️

★Spacious 3Bed★2 Living RM's★ QUIET Neighborhood
Thanks! My family had a lovely stay here. It felt right like home. We regularly hung out in one of the two living areas watching Netflix, eating, or working. The couches are all very comfy, and I found the bed in the back bedroom also very comfortable with several pillow options. The kitchen had everything I needed to cook several meals, including oil and seasonings- thanks! The hosts quickly responded when we had a couple questions. It was easy to get in to the house and it was the EASIEST CHECKOUT EVER!! I also appreciated the willingness of the hosts to let me reschedule by shifting a week (from illness) right before check-in. The only con I can think of is that it *might be a little complicated to get in/out during mornings or afternoons when the nearby school is in session. (But there was no school scheduled during my stay, so I'm simply guessing.)
Pet-friendly getaways in Texas

"Reel Time" Pet friendly , comfy home!
I honestly didn’t expect the house to look as nice as it did. Meg you did your big one with this house!! it had a nice backyard, tall ceiling, big space and it’s in a nice location, and she was super sweet!! WILL be checking in here more often.

Beach cabin- The Shell
Great location! The cabin was clean, nicely decorated and just what we needed for our mini-moon. We walked to the beach every morning and loved that it was dog-friendly. Becky was so fun to chat with and offered helpful recommendations. We loved our stay here.

Padre Island Perfect Beach Getaway
I loved this place! it was exactly what I was looking for while I was in corpus. The place was beautiful, and very homey. It's super close to the beach (not even a 5 minute drive) which I loved. I forget the name of the restaurant by condo but it was so good! and within walking distance which was a plus. Diane was great at communicating and responded super quick! I would definitely book again.

Charming Cabin/ Stock Tank/ Farm Animals / Hiking
My Family had the Best time! Even with the weather we still enjoyed it!

Chic Country Cottage
My family and I absolutely loved our stay at Chic Country Cottage. The area was very quiet and peaceful. Our favorite parts were the very roomy bathroom and the super comfortable beds! Even my daughters said they were the most comfortable beds we’ve ever had at an Airbnb. It was also nice having a tv in both rooms. We were 20 min from family but only 5 from Starbucks and that’s always the most important 😉 we plan on staying here on future trips, if available. It was wonderful.

En-Deer-ing Pet friendly Retreat
This was a peaceful, cozy, relaxing getaway. Cindy and Todd are responsive and friendly hosts. The space is squeaky clean and extremely comfortable. I especially appreciated the new reclining furniture in the living room. I love to kick back and relax, and it was so nice to watch the numerous deer through the patio doors and sip coffee. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was nicely appointed. The location is quiet, but Salado shopping, sights, and conveniences are just minutes away. Salado is our happy place to escape to, and this little getaway is the perfect place to enjoy it from.

Saddle House Cabin~ Barnyard & River Access!
It was so much more than I anticipated. Beautiful property, lovely animals, and friendly personnel. The homemade cookies were the cherry on top. I will come back, only next time I will bring my grandkids.

Cabin on Cloud 9 Ranch
It was my 2nd time staying at the cabin. We absolutely loved the experience. Cabin is so cozy, warm and beautiful. The amenities are great and we loved feeding the cows on the property. The neighborhood is so quiet and we really loved the seclusion. Great place to rest and recharge. Will be back!
Cabins in Texas

Deer cabin same cabin
This is truly a hidden gem. It’s as if you are getting your own little slice of a state park somewhere. My son and his friends thought it was an excellent break location away from college. Warren is good natured and down to earth. You will thoroughly enjoy the serenity of this location.

Love Glamping Cabin : Yoga/Hike/Swim @13 Acres
I found myself needing an overnight stay and book this last minute while I was driving to Austin It was a bit further than my final destination, but not so much to be prohibitive, but the price was right Very peaceful and very relaxing, and would recommend if a more laid-back and a bit more primitive style suits what you were looking for or your particular taste Communication was great easy to get in and easy to check out and would definitely recommend

Country Escape Cottage
The cabin is beutiful and super clean. Surrounded by nature, and friendly ducks. It was a very peaceful stay. I truly enjoyed it! Very good and friendly (Kyla & Carla) customer service. Thank you!

Cabin in the country on private fishing ponds.
We came here to start our spring break and it was wonderful! It was only supposed to be my husband, me and our 2 fur babies but there was unexpected flight delays for our 2 kids. We messaged Adam and he responded quickly. He was absolutely fine with us bringing them. When we arrived he left us with some delicious cookies. We felt right at home. The fishing poles were all ready on the porch, charcoal supplied for the grill and boats ready to go. We had an amazing time and so did our fur babies! Thanks again Adam!!

Secluded cabin
My wife and I enjoyed three nights in this well-kept cozy and private little cabin while we explored the Big Thicket Preserve. It had everything we needed - complete kitchen, comfortable bed, lots of hot water and a nice porch where one can sit and enjoy the evenings. A real gem.

The Cedar Cabin - The Homestead Cottages
Lovely cabin in a perfect location! My husband and I loved how cozy this cabin was for our weekend getaway. The hot tub and the shower were the perfect touch. The host provided clear instructions, was quick to respond, and very accommodating. Would definitely recommend!

Cozy cabin in the woods at Bluegill Lake Cabins
It was a very relaxing atmosphere. My Wife and I had a Great Time. Even though the weather wasn’t the greatest. We will definitely return in the future.

Wimberley Cabin | Hot Tub * King Bed * The Trinity
Great place, beautiful cabin, just what we needed!!
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.
