Wow! Where to begin? How about the chilled white wine that Walter left for us in the refrigerator for our arrival? A terrific way to begin a 10 night stay on such a hot day. The description of the hospitality, cleanliness, location, etc. was so very accurate for the Bird House cabin. Immaculately clean. Perfect location in Hill Country - close to all sights and groceries, etc. but definitely off of the beaten path enough to enjoy evenings on the patio watching the stars. The mornings were cool enough to take good, quiet walks. For this long stay, the washer and dryer and dishwasher were a huge convenience - in fact, the cabin was one of the best-outfitted places in which we have stayed.
While there, we visited (and recommend all of these):
Pedernales Falls State Park
Pace Bend County Park
Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge
LBJ’s Presidential Ranch National Historic Park
Longhorn Caverns State Park
Natural Bridge Caverns
AND 5 wineries (although there are just dozens in Hill Country)
It is simply so easy to access all of Hill Country from the Bird House. Very easy to drive around anywhere. We definitely will return and enjoyed our time so very much that we started looking into places for sale in the area. For the first time in at least six crazy months of 2020, I felt a real sense of normalcy and relaxed every minute, so thank you Walter - what a gift and something I sorely needed.
