Eric‘s place was very clean well appointed and we would definitely go back and stay there again

Home in a nice neighborhood
Really nice house in a nice neighborhood. House smelled very clean.

Sunny Sweet Home
It was an awesome location and a beautiful place. Makes you feel like home! We are getting charged for an unauthorized pet when we didn't have any pets involved in our stay. I would like to get this corrected. Other than that I would definitely come back.

Austin Home
Beautiful home. Just as described. Easy communication with the host. Thank you again!

Minimalist family Mid-Term Stay - cozy & comfy
We are very pleased with our stay at this airbnb. The hosts were always available to chat whenever we had questions and were very considerate. The outdoor furniture is not present but we were told about it already. So great place to stay! Very spacious and clean.

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!

Love Glamping Cabin : Yoga/Hike/Swim @13 Acres
Stayed here for a short climbing trip. Great for a close place to crash near Reimers

The Zane Gray Cabin by Lake Texoma on 7 Acres!
Wonderful!! Enjoyed this tranquil and calming retreat while in the area for a concert. The beautiful location is secluded and private but close enough to restaurants and anything you need. Enjoyed stargazing at night (no bugs, yay!), sitting on the deck with coffee in the morning and wandering backroads taking photos around sunset. The kitchen is a dream, made several meals and enjoyed using the grill. Bed is super comfy. I hope to have a chance to return. Thanks to Bob & Nancy for their hospitality and sharing this little slice of heaven.

Cabin in the country on private fishing ponds.
Such a PEACEFUL and QUAINT cabin! We loved taking the JohnBoat out for relaxing rides on the water. I was able to get some work done on the patio while enjoying the most beautiful surroundings while my son explored and fished off the bank. The welcome treats and in-town suggestions were greatly appreciated! Adam was a fantastic host and responded to all messages quickly! We will definitely be back!

Secluded cabin
Great place; I hope to return! Responsive host, beautiful property, great proximity to the Big Thicket.

The Cedar Cabin - The Homestead Cottages
Honestly just book it, especially for the price. It’s beautiful, clean and the location is so cozy and private. The hot tub was amazing too, we had a cold front when we stayed and the hot tub was perfect temp even in the freezing weather. Me and my boyfriend loved it and will most definitely be coming back

Cabin 4 by Colorado Bend State Park
If going to the state park and don’t want to camp this is a great place , very clean and comfy, great food! I went on a sat and there were two live performances and not that loud from my room and not too late. That was really a nice bonus! I will stay here again for sure! Very friendly staff and host!

Cozy cabin in the woods at Bluegill Lake Cabins
Kevin was so super helpful with anything we needed. The cabin was amazing. So beautiful and secluded. A perfect spot for a couples getaway in the cozy cabin. The property is beautiful, and great for morning or evening walks. Hot tub was a great way to unwind and relax. Will deff be back.
Houseboats in Texas

Huxley Bay
this is an awesome place to go... a fish camp don't expect it to be glamping but its sure close... locals are friendly houseboat is an awesome comfortable place... also a little bit of information the houseboat was actually in a movie I did not know that until the locals told me... but it definitely made my stay a little more interesting... if you love to fish and you love the outdoors this is a great place to go...we will definitely be back..

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)
This spot is a real treasure. Outstanding views. Right on the water, you really can't ask for easier access to fishing. Helpful host, friendly people. Great vibes. We took a canoe out and loved the haunted looking tea house across the way, with its own cool history we recommend looking up!

**Casa Ocaso** Houseboat on Beautiful Lake Travis
Sweet spot for a getaway or would be an awesome spot in summer during the busy lake season. Cozy and everything we needed. Helpful and responsive hosts!

Feel the Harmony with our Cozy Houseboat
I simply cannot recommend The Harmony enough! It is so awesome of Fey and Darrell to share their property with travelers. My spouse was so excited to have an opportunity to stay on a houseboat, and everyone we bragged to was interested and impressed. The property is cozy, comfortable and welcoming. The few odd eccentricities (water, toilet ECT ) add to the adventure. The sway of the boat as you lay in bed, listening to the seabirds and sounds of the sailboats will cast you into a deep, relaxing slumber. In the future I plan to choose to stay with them instead of the area hotels. Do yourself a favor and have this experience, make this memory, it is worth far more than they charge.
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.
