The cabin has an open floor plan with the fully equipped kitchen / dining / living room and is the perfect place for family to reconnect , a romantic getaway or even a Girl's Trip. You will enjoy the wonderful (fully functional) Rock Fireplace and will definitely want to curl up with a good book, take a nap or watch TV here especially during the cooler months! The covered porch adds to the charm of this rustic getaway where you can relax or dine. The log house is fresh and clean with all new paint throughout, linens that include bedding, and towels for bathroom and kitchen as well as kitchen accessories including dishes, utensils, storage containers and small appliances (mixer, toasters, drip coffee maker and a kettle for tea).
The private riverfront at the Vaden Hunt House is amazing...this is a beautiful, stretch of the Guadalupe River that is both wide and deep (8 - 10 ft deep) with a bluff on the other side of the river. Enjoy swimming, fishing, floating and canoeing. The view is incredible and the dock has a steel ladder for easy in and out river access. There is a canoe and a john boat with an assortment of life jackets for guests to use. (To be on the safe side - please consider bringing your own life jackets to assure proper fit and quantity for your guests.) If you would like - there are kayak & paddle board rentals available that you can make arrangements with (local outfitters) prior to your stay in Hunt.

Please contact us regarding pets...We are pet friendly but please check with me regarding size and number of dogs . Pet fee is $25.00 per day per pet. Pet fees will be due with an additional payment request when using Instant Book or if you bring more that one dog.

We would love for you to spend every minute at the cabin but sometimes you may just want adventure…
This log house is convenient to all of the area summer camps and day trips are easy - you might want to check out Lost Maples Natural Area (State Park), Utopia, Garner State Park, the Frio River or Concan to the West; and Kerrville, Comfort and/or Fredericksburg for shopping or winery tours to the East. You can always hop on I-10 and go to San Antonio for Fiesta Texas / Sea World or shopping at La Cantera and more.  

Please Note:
There are 2 houses on the property:
1.) the owner’s shared home away from home - which is the house closest to the river and
2.) the cabin (log house) - Vaden Hunt House (this is the vacation rental)

The family comes to the vacation home occasionally. But it will not be rented to other guests.


A letter from the family to guests:

We welcome you to this beautiful, friendly and peaceful part of the Texas Hill Country that has been a part of our family since 1962. The property is located on the South Fork of the Guadalupe River, the source of which is just a few miles away. Here, walk down to the river’s edge with your first cup of coffee in the morning and enjoy the beautiful, colorful and quiet sunrise. After breakfast, grab your float and enjoy the day swimming, fishing or boating in the fresh water of the river, and in the evening take your chairs into the yard and look up at the sky – the number of stars will amaze you. This is a place to relax and have fun. It is wonderful for friends or family weekends to get away from it all, cook together, explore nearby towns, and take long drives in the country. There are hillsides to explore, dinosaur tracks to spot, lots of rock hunting and long walks or runs in the fresh air. There are swings in the front yard that once were the swings for the 12 rock cabins that comprised the small resort of Marymeade. In the summer weekends, there is live music and great food on the patio of The Hunt Store, a rodeo and dance with a live band and dinner at Crider’s each Saturday night, outdoor plays at the Point Theatre in Ingram along with art camps and activities for all ages at the nearby Hill Country Arts Foundation, and a welcome sense of another time. For most of our lives as children, these were the things that we loved and looked forward to and they have become our family traditions with our own children. We played cards and games at night as a family and with friends, made brownies, cookies and homemade ice cream, grilled outside, and in the cold months, made fires in the fireplace. On each trip, we always made the drive to Lost Maples State Area to walk the trails and look for deer in the fields along the way. In the log house, you may see a few family photos of years past – a photo of our grandfather as a young man on a white horse, born and raised on a ranch in Menard, Texas. Another of a family card game played at the dining room table in this house, and perhaps one more of us as children getting saddled up for a trail ride at the horse barn that, in our era, was down the road. We invite you to enjoy this lovely part of the world and create your own traditions with family and friends. Bring your guitars. Visit Stonehenge in Ingram. Find that favorite homemade ice cream recipe, bring the ingredients with a box of regular salt and a small bag of ice. We have the ice cream freezer at the house for your use! Welcome.
