Texas Lodging for Bird Watching Vacations

(Cabins, Cottages and Lodges)

Baron's Creek Cottage was originally built circa 1933 by Lizzie Simon, a local widow. There is a large wooden deck in the back, as well as a double hammock nestled in the trees outside. The large back yard has slopes full of grass and trees, as well as a spring-fed creek that runs year-round. It is quiet, private, peaceful, and one of the most beautiful locations in all of Fredericksburg! Close to Fredericksburg are the Enchanted Rock State Natural Area and the Lyndon B. Johnson State and National Parks, all great places for bird watching, hiking and rock climbing.

John's cabin was built in 1978  by John Penick from logs and stone on the property just 10 minutes from Fredericksburg on 120 acres. There is a lovely fishing pond directly in front of the cabin.  Fish are abundant – brim and catfish, numerous frogs, and of course turtles.  There is a walking bridge across the pond for walking, bird watching, relaxing or a nap in the sun.  A hike on the many trails could yield an arrowhead or two if you have sharp eyes. There is a fireplace to add to the ambience or you can sit on the back porch swing.  In the evening you will be serenaded by frogs and beautiful sounds of the local whip-poor-wills.
