About this property

Romantic and peaceful country setting only 25 minutes from Belton or Temple!

Star-Light Cabin

The Star-light Cabin is situated on a 48 Acre ranchette located about 18 miles east of Temple, Texas. This secluded, spacious 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom cabin which serves as the “guest house” for the property, is located about 200 yards from the main house, and comfortably sleeps 6. This property is a working ranch with a small number of registered longhorn cattle, which freely roam the property. The home itself is approximately 1200+ sf with both bedrooms fitted with their own bathrooms and walk-in closets. There is a nice kitchen, living space with a large, screened-in porch across the back. Situated atop the highest elevation of the ranch, the views are plentiful, with a beautiful lake and rolling terrain, featuring lovely grassland, dotted with trees. Located in sparsely populated Milam county, wildlife abounds…Deer, coyotes, bobcats, hawks, eagles and other critters frequent the area and are routinely spotted. Expect stunning nighttime star gazing and refreshing daytime panoramic views. Get away from the grind, put your mobile phone away, build yourself a campfire in the fire pit, and roast yourself some marshmallows or smores, while you enjoy fresh air and the peace and tranquility of country living. But don’t worry, you wont be “off grid” or anything like that. AT&T internet is provided, and there are 3 smart TV sets (Living and in both bedrooms). Plus, you are just a short ride away from the Temple and Belton areas where there is plenty to do and see, coupled with many, delicious dining opportunities. Multi-zone a/c and heating means you can set your room to fit your temperature needs. Sit in the spacious screened-in porch, while sipping on your coffee, and during cooler weather, you might start a fire in the wood burning stove to add warmth and create a cozy evening indoors. Whatever you do, you will enjoy this unforgettable and wonderful get-away experience, and you will be pleasantly surprised with both the quality and the privacy of this unique space.

It is a common occurrence for the number of guests you expect to fluctuate. Pricing is set to help accommodate smaller numbers of guests, and we ask that each additional guest over the number of 4 pay an additional $20 per night. You must inform us of the number of guests, and keep us updated when there are changes.

This is a pet friendly property. We are pet owners, and we understand the difficulties associated with finding accommodations for our furry family members. Therefore, we have made the Starlight Cabin available to those with animals. However, we incur additional cleaning costs and extra cleaning measures are taken. You MUST declare your pet(s) (No matter how small), and there is a fee which will be assessed. This fee helps us keep this property pet friendly!

Events cannot be accommodated.
No smoking.
