A slice of paradise…

This beautiful home and property provided exactly what we needed. A place to de-stress, relax, breathe and watch nature surrounding you. There was an army of hummingbirds and cardinals plus a few lazy squirrels. We enjoyed the Sabinal river on the property and being able to watch the kids having fun floating and make marshmallows on the fire pit. All in all exactly what we needed.. We will be back for sure.

Picturesque Cabin

This was our second time to stay at the Hilltop Hideaway. What a beautiful place—surrounded by hills and overlooking the valley below! We love relaxing on the porch and enjoying the sights and sounds of nature.

Peaceful Getaway

The house was charming, spacious & comfortable inside and the grounds outside were secluded with a great view of the hill country. We enjoyed watching the different species of birds that visited the birdfeeders, and the night sky was great for star gazing. Our family enjoyed Lost Maples and the close proximity of the house to this beautiful state park. We had fun and really decompressed during this peaceful getaway!

This house was the perfect location multiple parks to visit within an hour drive. We enjoyed sitting on the deck, watching all the birds and the view. The home was very spacious with the bonus room with the futon and was a nice touch. Would highly recommend this property very peaceful.

Modern amenities with antique charm

Address # is posted at the entrance so there was no problem finding the property even in the dark. This is a secluded home perched above the Sabinal river with views of the hill country. There is a steep rocky incline leading to the house that we knew about but still had us nervous traversing it each time. The property has numerous bird feeders for wildlife viewing! There are lots of labels and notes posted throughout the house that were helpful too. Host was prompt and honest about any questions we had. We enjoyed our stay immensely!

Reliving childhood memories

My best friend and I went to Lost Maples State park as a children for years with my grandparents. Finding the Hilltop River Hideaway was the perfect way to bring our families back to share our memories and love for the Hill Country. We enjoyed this home so much we extended our 3 day stay 2 extra days! The hosts have been amazing. We have 7 kids here ages 14-2 and they have all enjoyed it so much. Things weve enjoyed at the home: bird watching, building a campfire, a meteor shower/ star gazing, exploring, rock hunting, hiking, playing in the water, playing board games, cooking food, hot tub, grilling, looking at the moon through the telescope. The beds are extremely comfortable and everyone slept well. Only thing i would say is watch out for scorpians in the house. We saw several upon arrival then none for the remainder of the day.

We had wonderful stay. Our grandkids loved the creek access and went every day to play in the water. The scenery was great and sitting on the porch was my favorite place. The house is very enjoyable, and we loved the layout.

Kids wanted to go somewhere other than the beach

Family vacation for us normally end up at the beach. This was a great alternative. The home is a remote setting above the Sabinal River with views of beautiful mountains, stars everywhere at night and hummingbirds everywhere by day. Very spacious home, large decks, fun antiques old books, chessboard to occupy the downtime. The river provides a nice spot to cool down and kids loved trying to catch a few fish. They even set up a small pup tent for the camping experience. Home is well stocked but take everything you need with you …this is remote. Leakey Texas provided a few casual places to eat. Lost Maples was beautiful. We did the East Trail, kinda difficult but Monkey Rock was easy to get to. So if you love the outdoors you will love staying at this secluded home in the hills. Booking and host contact was perfect!!

A nature lovers dream home.

We love our time at the hilltop hideaway! This home is perfect for families looking to reconnect with Texas and it’s nature. You instantly feel relaxed and are reminded to slow down and take in the views. The house has plenty of space to unwind and hangout with family or friends. The homeowners are very kind and have the house wonderfully prepared for your stay. I highly recommend staying here! I hope to come back again soon!

Completely Blissful

We had a wonderful time at the Hilltop Hideaway. Upon arrival, we were greeted by half a dozen hummingbirds buzzing around the feeder on the front deck. There are birds everywhere on the property. Great for birdwatching. We also enjoyed seeing deer and rabbits. With the current drought, I was a little worried about how the river would be. Turns out it was clear and flowing nicely. It was one of the only spots in the area where the river wasn't dried up. The house itself is incredibly roomy. The pictures don't do it justice. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen is stocked with everything you could possibly need. Just one tip, get groceries before you get to the property. There is very little in the area, just a couple of small general stores. We will definitely be back.
