Artesia Hilltop Cabin

New adorable tiny home cabin on hillside with gorgeous views of the Texas Hill Country. Only 20 minutes to downtown Kerrville and 10 minutes from the most popular Guadalupe River recreations.

A budget-friendly vacation rental shouldn't mean compromising luxury and quality, and the Artesia Hilltop Cabin shows how it's done! This delightful cabin in the heart of the Hill Country is the perfect spot for a romantic weekend. It's remote and private, in a scenic natural setting, yet it's only ten miles from the night life and shopping of downtown Kerrville. It's loaded with comfortable amenities and down-home Texas charm, proving a fantastic vacation doesn't need to be a wallet-buster.

This adorable tiny home cabin is nestled on four acres, providing plenty of space for hiking, exploring, and wildlife watching. It's surrounded by miles of roads that allow you to tour the majestic beauty of the Hill Country, and it's just ten minutes from popular Guadalupe River recreations such as tubing, kayaking, and swimming. Reward yourself with a stay at this peaceful hideaway, with Hill Country views that go on for miles!

A shaded L-shaped deck, outfitted with plenty of patio furniture, is a great place to enjoy those views, have an intimate conversation, or just kick back and relax in the natural beauty surrounding you. Whip up a romantic meal for two on the charcoal grill, and admire the countless, sparkling stars in the wide open Texas sky on a clear night. Smoking is allowed at the Hilltop Cabin, as long as you keep it outdoors.

Cozy and comfortable are the keys to the interior here. There's a full bath with a shower, and a soft and relaxing queen-sized bed that accommodates up to two adults (the couch in the living area can also sleep one small child). Heating and cooling units provide comfort, and several windows allow the natural light and beauty to come indoors. The kitchen has a mini fridge, toaster oven, microwave, hot plate, and complimentary bottled water and snacks are included, as are all bed and bath linens. A TV with DVD player, stereo with CD player, and reading materials are provided for your entertainment.

Artesia Hilltop Cabin embodies the essence of an idyllic hilltop retreat, offering a panoramic mountain view for a serene vacation experience. This rental represents a harmonious blend of natural splendor, indoor and outdoor comfort, and convenient proximity to a diverse array of Hill Country attractions.

Very beautiful view with a Texas coziness. Tom and Kathy were very gracious. It got super dark, so I'm glad we brought flashlights. The incinerating toilet was a first, but only added to the adventure.

Cute cabin overlooking the hill country! We stayed two nights and were very comfortable. The area is quiet, the bed is comfortable, and the shower works well but the owners will tell you that hot water is limited. We had enough time to shower but you don't want to linger. The incinerator toilet is interesting but works just fine.

Beautiful and quiet

The little cabin was set on the side of the hill looking out onto beautiful views. Inside the cabin is just another reflection of the hill country with its decor. I loved the porch for early morning sunrises and late night sitting. The hosts are the most hospitable people you will find and have tons or recs on things to do. Enjoyed our stay!

Quiet and cozy cabin

Very peaceful and quiet cabin close to Ingram and Kerrville. Nice, welcoming hosts. Property does need some landscaping help with overgrown driveway and walkway to cabin. Also has an unconventional toilet some people may not be comfortable with. But overall it is a good value for the money.

The owners went above and beyond.

Very nice personal touches. The owners went above and beyond to make our stay very nice. It was my Birthday weekend and they even bought me a gift. They had homemade baked muffins that were so delicious. We felt right at home. I would recommend to anyone wanting to escape the city but, to be conveniently located to the nearby towns. This is a hidden gem, and the owners are very sweet.

Hill Country Hideaway

This place is phenomenal! They were so accommodating and kind, we got in way later than we expected and they waited up for us to get there to welcome us. We got the full low down on everything in town, places to go and a run down of the cabin. We got our first experience with an incinerating toilet! I love new experiences so we were all about it. This place is close to everything and only 30 minutes from anything you wanna do! It was clean, comfortable and inviting to stay in. We loved the cool mornings and sun coming up and the hosts! Super cool, relaxing stay! We will see you guys again!

I booked this cabin to stay in as I attended my nephew’s wedding. The inside of the cabin was very nice. A western motive fit well with a hillside cabin. Unfortunately,, that is the only thing that I can say that was positive about the experience. When asking about the cabin and access to it, I was told that I would be able to drive up right to the cabin. I believe that can be done IF you have a truck or a jeep! I was able to get it up once but it was very treacherous and scary since I was worried that I may be damaging my engine or my tires getting up there! I was told that I could park my car in the driveway since the other cabin wasn’t being used that weekend. Not being able to drive my car up to the cabin, was very inconvenient since I was going back-and-forth from the cabin doing things to help with my nephew‘s wedding! I ended up parking on the driveway and walking up to the cabin every time I left, I would’ve liked to have known ahead of time that it was going to not be accessible so I could have made other arrangements. The grass in the area was very overgrown and needed cutting. The description of the “kitchenette” was also a little misleading. The description said there was a toaster oven available, it was not which again was inconvenient as I brought food that we could cook in it. The toilet was very intimidating and took a bit of time to get used to!I wish the stay would have been more enjoyable! Maybe with a little work it can for the next person!

Best 50th Birthday Getaway!

If you want to get a way from the hustle and bustle of everyday busy life, come here. The host were amazing! The communication is excellent. The host welcomed my husband and I and even had a sweet little birthday gift for me. The cabin is adorable. We so enjoyed sitting g out on the patio in the mornings and evenings. It was actually kinda chilly outside, crazy I know being the middle of summer. We enjoyed the birds and deer. While you are visiting here, checkout the Stonehenge II and The Coming King Prayer Garden. Also grab dinner at the Southern Sky Music Cafe and The Lakehouse. Excellent food and service. Can’t wait to come back when the host add a cabin coming soon!

Quiet and Friendly

Tommy and Kathy are very kind. Made sure we were settled in. Gave my son a birthday gift, as we were there to explore the hill country and celebrate his 13th birthday. The cabin was just what we needed as a quiet place to sleep, and a base to jump off from each morning into our adventures. Definitely will be staying again!

We loved it and we will be back!

My husband and I were going to stay at a hotel in the Hill Country on a last-minute day trip we decided to take. We got on Trivago and were looking up hotels and we came across this place. We didn’t see any reviews, but we loved the look of the place and decided we would give it a try. We were not disappointed! The place was clean and charming; we loved the rustic cabin! The owners were very friendly and we had a great experience all around. We take annual trips to the Hill Country and will be looking this place up each time we go.
