Secluded Ranch Cabin Get Away Between Lost Maples & Garner

Kat's Kabin, located at 1555 Lemond Rd, Utopia, TX, is a beautiful, secluded ranch cabin on 1000 private acres of the Four Sisters Ranch. Located in the most scenic part of the Texas Hill Country, right between Lost Maples and Garner State Park.

This fully furnished cabin features one large room with two queen beds (sleeps 4), on one end and a full kitchen on the other. In between is a small couch and TV. We have two porches, shaded BBQ area, patio, wildlife feeders and a fire pit. (Note: the cabin is not suitable for young children who would need a separate place to nap.)

We have internet, a smart TV and also a DVD with popular movies.

You can enjoy the sounds of nature, wildlife and a beautiful night sky. You may see a variety of wildlife from the porch including deer, turkey, wild hogs and hummingbirds.

Located 90 mi NW of San Antonio and 7 mi from Utopia. The cabin is about 15 miles from Lost Maples State Natural Area and 23 miles from Garner State Park. The Hill Country State Natural Area is about 45 minutes away.

Our curvy, scenic roads boast fantastic hill country views. Local activities: Golf in Utopia (the setting for the movie 7 Days in Utopia). Go swimming at Utopia Park on the Sabinal River, Float the Frio River. Hike at Garner Park. Go birding at Lost Maple Park. Gaze at the stars. Photograph the picturesque hill country views. BBQ on the patio. Visit Lost Maples winery. The Texas hill country is a wonderful year around birding & wildlife viewing destination! We are in one of the best areas of Texas to see the Golden Cheeked Warbler, Black Capped Vireo, Vermilion Flycatcher and more!

Dine at the fabulous Laurel Tree in Utopia (requires a reservation) and Mac & Ernies in Tarpley for a fantastic dining experience! Our local cafe is also good and has great pie!

We will give you a ranch tour or leave you in complete privacy. Your choice. You will be surrounded by nature in a gorgeous hill country setting. You will see a brilliant starry sky when it's clear and usually fire flies in the summer months.

The nearest airport is in San Antonio (~1.5 hr drive). Austin is an ~ 3 hour drive.

Other Things to Note One night bookings will be considered in some circumstances. Send an inquiry. For major holidays, a three night minimum is required. Utopia is a very small community with a general store, bank, gas station, cafes and a few shops. Limited groceries are available at the general store. The nearest large grocery store and hospital is 45 miles ( Hondo, Kerrville or Uvalde). Cell phone service is very limited, only AT&T and Consumer Cellular works and it is spotty. We do have wireless internet so you can possibly have phone service in the cabin should wifi calling be turned on your phone.

GPS will get you in the area but wants to take you beyond the cabin. Take Hwy 187 north from Utopia. In 3 miles go left on West Sabinal Rd. Continue until you get to Lemond Rd. Take a left on Lemond and continue until you get to 1555. You can see the cabin when you turn in at 1555. Look for the Four Sisters Ranch signs at the turns.

We have a 2nd cabin about .3 miles away. Four Sisters Ranch Cabin is also listed if you want to book both cabins for a family get away.

This Hill country cabin was phenomenal. The views were amazing, the stargazing and birdwatching were over the top. The cabin had everything that we needed, and it was super clean. And there was a nice added touch, homemade cranberry pecan bread. We are already thinking about when we can go back.

Kat’s Kabin was a great place to watch the Geminid meteor shower. The dark skies are wonderful. It was so quiet. We could hear the owls & coyotes at night. The cabin kitchen is well stocked and the beds were comfortable. We can’t wait to come back.

what a delightful cabin. Charming and comfortable decor. The host was extremely communicative and accommodating of some last minute issues on our part. A perfect get away with so many amenities nearby. The Laurel Tree restaurant? Lost Maples State Park, and more. The scent of the breeze blowing through the beds of Rosemary surrounding the cabin are reason enough to visit all alone.

First Cabin Experience

We had a wonderful time staying at The Secluded Cabin on 4th of July weekend. The weather unfortunately didn’t cooperate but that didn’t ruin our trip! Kat gave us wonderful suggestions of things to go around the area. The cabin was clean, had all the things we needed to bbq and provided some wonderful relaxation!
