Dug Out Hideaway

Country house on the side of a Mesa. Hiking, and a spectacular view with fire pit, waterfall fountain, kids fort & a patio full of games. The home overlooks the city of Abilene with beautiful night skies. The front patio overlooks the wildlife feeder where you can see wild boar, deer, and other animals. Hiking through the cedar forest holds adventure behind every tree.


The 2000 sq. ft. 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom house features an open dining room, full kitchen, and Livingroom. The kitchen bar seats 8 and the table seats 4. We have a propane grill on the back patio and a mesquite log grill at the firepit to cook those mouthwatering steaks.

Two dogs maximum are welcome. The back yard is fenced for them to play. There is no property fences, so please keep your dog on a leash if it tends to wonder off. Wild animals are on the property, including porcupines. Be careful that your dog stays close or is on a leash to avoid contact with the wild animals. Dogs must be in the back yard or in a kennel if you leave them alone at the Hideaway. Dog droppings must be cleaned up by departure date. The $50 fee for dogs should be paid through the Vrbo app.
