This cabin is surrounded by woods and wildlife. It faces a spring-fed pond, on 59 acres of woodland trails. It’s not every day that a guest can sleep, windows open, surrounded by woods or enjoy rain falling on a tin roof. Awakening to see the mist on the pond or a great blue heron take flight, to feed the fish and turtles from the pond pier deck, to watch the gentle longhorns amble by—these are priceless moments to share or enjoy alone. The space Lily Ponds Cottage is a private chalet tucked into the woods outside New Ulm, TX, halfway between Austin and Houston. It faces Lily Pond with a swing on the pond dock, the pond a perfect ecosystem for native wildlife. Both Lily Ponds Cottage and Bluebonnet Cabin are on Curly Q Refuge, a wildlife sanctuary. Linda is a Texas Parks and Wildlife small mammal wildlife rehabilitator in Austin County. 50 acres of woodland paths surround the cottage. Guest access Guests can have access to the entire ranch. Text me to come up to pet the baby piggie Petunia, the baby goaties Benjy and Howdy, the two miniature ponies, and the donkey boys. During your stay I enjoy providing guests the opportunity to love on our animal babies. Other things to note Wear boots or high topped shoes. It is nature and snakes do live her. Stay to the lanes.
