Peaceful Getaway
We had a wonderful time at this location. The home's setup was lovely, and we were tucked away from any other people on the property. There was plenty for us to do, between exploring the property, fishing in the pond, and relaxing on the porch. Communication before and during our stay was prompt and helpful. The kitchen is well prepped with the basics for your stay (pots, pans, utensils, plates). Coffee is a Keurig machine. We ended up having to go to a store for coffee pods (there were only tea pods), but there are a couple grocery stories in a 20 minute vicinity. We highly recommend this property!

Great Place to relax
Hidden Vista Ranch was a wonderful experience for my wife and myself. We spent 5 days here at the cabin and enjoyed our time there. We had our grandchildren come out to the cabin and they were happy to have so much to do with the games inside or the fishing outside. The quiet evenings with the fire burning in the pellet stove created a cozy room to watch DVDs. Between the microwave, toaster oven and hot plate, it was easy enough to fix our breakfasts and dinners. Highly recommend and we do plan on staying here again in the future.

Amazing
Stayed here for 3 nights with my dog and it was a much needed getaway that provided everything I needed. No cable or internet helped me disconnect and relax. It has a smaller kitchen but still has everything you need (toaster oven, hot plate, ice maker) and the bed sheets were soooo soft.

Week Long Fishing and Relaxation
We had a great time at this charming and cozy cabin. The cabin is really cute inside and out. The owner went above and beyond to make sure that the cabin has everything you need and is really comfortable. The pond is stocked with plenty of fish and we fished from day one to day six. We caught several bass, perch and crappies every day we were there. This was a wonderful getaway and we will be going back.

Secluded, peaceful, clean, straightforward
Cabin features are thoughtfully chosen, comfortable, and reliable. Well-prepared kitchenette. Two AC units. Cute pellet stove. Hosts friendly, respectful, and easy to communicate with. Wandering cows and pond are nice touch. Cell reception understandably spotty.

Amazing Cabin - The Pics Don’t do it Justice!
Wonderful cabin, beautiful property, and amazing hosts! By far the best hosts we’ve had (and we’ve had some good ones) with phenomenal communication, always being happy to help, and special amenities for us and our pups. We loved fishing at the pond and caught several bass with minnows, including a 20” doozie! The cabin is very clean and much more spacious than you’d imagine with the square footage. The star gazing was beautiful along with various wildlife around the property. We look forward to staying again!

My wife and I were looking for a quiet weekend away, that's exactly what we got. Enjoyed going into Taylor for the Farmers Market followed by drinks and lunch at Texas Beer Company. Back at the house for a beautiful sunset and watching the deer feed all over the property.
