Holiday Magic Close to Lost Maples and Garner State Parks

Keep it simple at this peaceful and centrally-located log home. Less than 8 miles to Utopia, 13 miles to Lost Maples State Natural Area, 22 miles to Garner State Park and 36 miles to Bandera, it's a short drive to just about anywhere you'd want to go. Awe-inspiring views, spectacular sunsets and plenty of space to relax and take it in. This is what "getting away from it all" is about. Secluded, yet close to a variety of activities, makes this THE place to be when you're wanting to escape!

Sunset Ridge is a 5 bedroom 2 bathroom log home that sits on 10 gorgeous acres surrounded by hill country views, majestic oak trees and a lot of peace and quiet! Features include a large porch complete with porch swing, a deck on the edge of the hill for a phenomenal view while relaxing in the hot tub, and fire pit for s'mores while enjoying the night sky!

Looking for a "nature experience"? Sunset Ridge is in the migratory path for many different species of birds. Whether you are a seasoned birdwatcher or just enjoy their song and beauty you will not be disappointed in the variety and number of birds you'll see.

There are 3 major state parks/natural areas close by. Garner State Park is a family oriented park with Frio River access, hiking trails and the infamous "nightly dance" during the summer. Their busy seasons are holidays and summer. Lost Maples State Natural Area offers great hiking trails and is known for it's fall color during the month of November. Hill Country State Natural Area is a 5,369 acre undeveloped state park that offers 36 miles of trails for horseback riding, hiking, and backpacking.

While the area still has a small town feel, there is plenty to do and some great local eateries and entertainment. One of the best features of Sunset Ridge is it's close proximity to everything!

When planning your trip please be aware that currently the only cell providers in the area are AT&T and T-Mobile.

Cozy
The property is gorgeous inside and out. The night sky was magical! Plenty of seating in the back yard to stargaze. Nothing beats the sunset & hill country views in the back yard. The hot tub was therapeutic after hiking at Lost Maples State Natural Area nearby. Can’t wait for our next stay here!!

Awesome view!
This property is off the beaten path which is what makes it awesome. Very quiet with a spectacular view off the back porch. There were three couples in our group and plenty of space for everyone. The location is near Lost Maples State Park and Garner State park is just a short drive away, about 35 minutes. Before you head out be advised that the closest town is Utopia and it closes down early so make sure you bring food to cook or plan to eat an early dinner.

Fantastic Two-night Getaway with Friends and Family
We had a terrific trip for a couple of nights at this lovely property. It has rustic charm with an oversized kitchen table and big comfy sofas for everyone to lounge in. We enjoyed the hot tub on both nights and it was very clean and well maintained. The appliances, while a bit on the older side were perfectly functional and we were able to cook a few meals with the supplied pots and pans. The backyard is perched up in the hills overlooking the valley and we were blessed with beautiful sunsets with this view both nights. If you looking for a convenient location next to Lost Maples, this would be a great place to stay for a couple nights with friends and family.
