Stunning, private, peaceful location! The cabin was pristine and we greatly enjoyed both porches. Perfect location for nature lovers. Lots of nearby activities and we really appreciated the detailed guide book.

Secluded cabin on a beautiful ranch with lots of wildlife, hummingbirds, deer, feral hogs, possum, etc. It was also perfect for star gazing with a telescope at night and visiting Lost Maples and Garner State Parks during the day. We loved it!

Kat’s Kabin is ideal for getting away, kickin’ back.and enjoying nature. Tons of birds at the feeders, and watching the deer and hogs at the feeder was loads of fun. Stock ponds and other activities right on the ranch. Kat & Butch are gracious hosts Close to Utopia, Vanderpool, Lost Maples, and the winery. Lost Maples has plenty of good day hikes - some more strenuous than others, with great scenery. All in all, a great place to spend a long weekend or even an entire week. We’ll do it again in the not-to-distant future.

We had the best time at Kat’s Cabin! It was perfect for my husband and I, and our two dogs. The pictures do not do it justice! Inside was plenty spacious, with a well stocked kitchen. Outside was incredible: amazing views, huge porches, peace and quiet, plus stars for days at night. Kat and her husband were both wonderful hosts and easy to communicate with. We are already planning our return visit. Would definitely recommend!

Awesome quiet spot. Lots of wildlife including birds at the 4 feeders, deer in the field, small mammals, and even a few reptiles. Loved the place, it was perfect, clean, comfy, and all around amazing. Everything I needed was there, and it was even nice and cool in the midst of the summer heat! Oh and the stars - wow!Item

A fabulous, cozy cabin for our girls weekend! Perfect location in between Lost Maples State Park and Garner State Park! It was clean, beautiful inside and out, and has a perfect view of the local wildlife. The hosts have thought of everything to make the stay quite enjoyable. Kat was always quick to respond to questions and very friendly! We would stay again in a heartbeat! Thank you for a lovely weekend!

Adorable, Peaceful, Well-Equipped
This property is fantastic. It’s so well cared for with the owners nearby. It’s laid out as one large open room with sleeping, living, cooking and eating zones all in one space, and a separate bathroom. The cabin, on a ranch, is very peaceful and surrounded by a combination of trees, grassland, wildlife and hills in the distance. The owners feed the deer, and the deer were quite present. Beds were comfortable (one firm and one softer mattress) with lots of pillows. My mother and I loved this peaceful place “out in the country”.

Honeymoon Getaway
From the time we arrived until we left was all about fun and relaxation. The ride around the ranch with Butch was wonderful. Kat was very helpful with everything we needed. Beautiful property with lots of deer and turkey. Enjoyed watching the rain storm come in on the porch. Will definitely be going back.

The stars at night, are big and bright…
…deep in the heart of Texas! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed my birthday weekend at Kat’s Kabin! We golfed in Utopia (Seven Days In Utopia movie is a must see for any golfer), ate lunch at the Lost Maples Cafe and dinner at Mac and Ernie’s Roadside Eatery, which was recommended by our host. And we’re so glad we made the little drive to Tarpley! The food was delicious! Oh the carrot cake! Yum! The drive to/from the ranch to Mac and Ernie’s was beautiful. We returned to the ranch and set up the lounge chairs in the front yard and watched the sky come to life with so many stars. Followed closely by a meteor shower. It was amazing! The next day, after a leisurely morning on the back porch watching the hummers, deer, birds of many kinds and the cabin’s cat, we checked out Lost Maples State Park. It was too hot to hike but we got a glimpse of the maple trees. Can’t wait to see them in the fall. Dinner at the Laurel Tree, another recommendation from our host, was delicious! It’s a hidden gem in the middle of this tiny town. Another evening was spent under the stars and meteors with a nice bottle of red wine. The cabin was clean, very well appointed, private, full of life with nature all around. Kat was the perfect host; kept in touch and provided great info. They were nearby if we needed anything. We’re already planning a trip back to Kat’s Kabin this fall. Ten star host and property! ⭐️
