Four Sisters Ranch Cabin is nestled in the Texas Hill Country at 1848 Lemond Rd. about 7 miles from Utopia, Texas. The location is between Lost Maples State Natural Area and Garner State Park! We invite you to enjoy our ranch cabin and hike, bike and explore 500 acres of a working family ranch.
Sip your coffee on the back porch with a fantastic view. This is a perfect place to unwind, make s’mores around the fire pit, star-gaze, enjoy the fresh country air and escape the stresses of the city.
You can enjoy the sounds of nature, wildlife and a beautiful night sky. You may see a variety of wildlife from the porch including deer, turkey, wild hogs and hummingbirds. Fire Flies are often seen during the summer months.
Located 90 mi NW of San Antonio and 7 mi from Utopia, the cabin is 15 miles from Lost Maples State Natural Area and 23 miles from Garner State Park. The Hill Country State Natural Area is about 45 miles away.
Our curvy, scenic roads boast fantastic hill country views. Local activities: Golf in Utopia (the setting for the movie 7 Days in Utopia). Go swimming at Utopia Park on the Sabinal River, Float the Frio River. Hike at Garner Park. Go birding at Lost Maple Park. Gaze at the stars. Photograph the picturesque hill country views. BBQ on the patio. Visit Lost Maples winery. The Texas hill country is a wonderful year around birding & wildlife viewing destination! We are in one of the best areas of Texas to see the Golden Cheeked Warbler, Black Capped Vireo, Vermilion Flycatcher and more!
Dine at The Laurel Tree in Utopia (requires a reservation) and Mac & Ernies in Tarpley for a fantastic dining experience! Utopia has several cafes and sometimes great BBQ on Saturdays at Big Ern's.
The nearest airport is in San Antonio (~1.5 hr drive). Austin is an ~ 3 hour drive.
Other Things to Note; For major holidays, a three night minimum is required. We might consider a one night booking. Send us an inquiry.
Utopia is a very small community with a general store, bank, gas station, cafes and a few shops. Limited groceries are available at the general store. The nearest large grocery store and hospital is 45 miles ( Hondo, Kerrville or Uvalde). Cell phone service is very limited, only AT&T works and it is spotty.
You can also rent Kat's Kabin #913458 if you would like to bring another family with you. It is about .2 miles away.
Although the cabin is secluded, you may hear the family gathering nearby sometimes in the summer and on holidays.
Our cabin sleeps 4 on two queen beds. No more than four people and one dog are allowed unless you have prior approval by the owner. There is a full kitchen and bath. There is a smart TV with DVD player and a large selection of movies for you to enjoy. We have internet! There is a large porch on the front and back of the cabin where you can relax and watch the wildlife come to the feeder.
Note: Since the cabin is one large room, it is not suitable for young children who need a separate place to nap. Our porches do not have rails so we are not an ideal place for toddlers.
If you want to visit the State parks you must make a reservation online 30 days in advance.
GPS is not always accurate. Take Hwy 187 north from Utopia. In 3 miles go left on West Sabinal Rd. Continue until you get to Lemond Rd. Take a left on Lemond and continue (passing through 4 cattleguards) until you get to 1848. There is a rock sign on your right. Follow the Four Sisters Ranch signs at the turns.
- "We enjoyed the peacefulness and tranquillity of this property. My sisters and I loved the accomodations it was perfect for us. We enjoyed the outdoor areas. Definitely worth the drive for me from Dallas. We made great memories here! Thank you!!" - "Clean, beautiful cabin with all the amenities. Friendly host. Fully recommend it." - "We reserved it due to close proximity to Garner state park. We enjoyed the evening after just sitting outside on the porch. Morning felt story like with the sounds of different birds chirping and seeing a deer and her young one eating from feeder in the back pasture. What a gem. Will definitely be back."

This is a nice small 2 bedroom cabin in Utopia. It is tucked away on County Road 355. It is just a half of a mile from main street Utopia. The Sabinal River runs though Utopia. So you can enjoy the Utopia Park Lake that has a dam with plenty of water to swim in and fish year round. Utopia is also 15 minutes from Garner state park and the Frio river. It is also just a 15 minute drive to Lost maples State park in Vanderpool. Come stay in this comfortable cabin and enjoy all there is to do in the hill country.
- "Spent the long 4th of July weekend with friends in a quite spot in Utopia. Great location to take trips through the hill country. Nice well equipped cabin. We saw deer each morning along with the local goats, golden retrievers, and farm cats. Great place to spend a few days with friends or family." - "My husband, son an gf, & I stayed here with son's boxer. We all really loved it!" - "Cute little cabin! You are on the same property as the home owners, and their house is kinda visible, but definitely in its own area. Two entrances to the cabin, one is a access to the house and the next one is a entrance closer to the cabin, which should be marked. The owners have animals, and I was highly disappointed the dogs left the cabin to go say hi to them when they got home. When we rent the cabin, I expect the welcoming committee 😂 maybe frame some pictures of the animals with their names for the cabin? Definitely a fun time! Great included grill, natural fire pit and deck."

- "The property was exactly as decribed. It was perfect for our needs for our stay. It was close enough to everything we needed to get to: Garner State Park, the Frio River, but far enough away, so when we wanted to just relax we were away from everything. It was very clean, and had all the things we needed. I would recommend it to anyone and stay there again myself." - "Very peaceful place" - "Nice and peaceful." - "The place was remote (which I loved). The views were great and the eagle's nest overlook was beautiful. We were able to see several different types of wildlife. I would stay here again."

- "Great getaway for a family. Close to Garner. Sabina River is not flowing, but still a nice location." - "Was a great spot for trips to Garner or over to San Antonio. It is right next to a main road where there was road noise in the front bedroom even during the night, but other than that it was perfect for what we needed! Nicely taken care of and clean." - "I cannot say enough positive things regarding our stay. The cabin was fully equipped to meet our needs, even with an infant in tow. We loved having evening fires near the river. We unfortunately had some car trouble and then locked ourselves out of the cabin. Tracey immediately came to let us in and even offered to pick my husband up from Uvalde if needed. She called again at the end of the day to check in and make sure we were doing OK. We loved our stay and really appreciated Tracey’s help, she truly went above and beyond."

We didn’t spend much time in the cabin other to sleep and clean ourselves up from all the outside fun. Property owners were very, very nice." - "Everything was beyond fantastic. Laura was super available, friendly, and helpful. She even brought us coffee on the night we arrived after we said we'd forgot ours. The property's location is perfect. It has the best possible view of the north face of Garner's famous Old Baldy. If you get up early enough, you can watch watch the sun paint it orange from the peak all the way down to the water. The river bank on Zuber's side seems like the Frio carved it especially for gatherings and events. Flat, gorgeous, and up against both shallow, gentle rapids perfect for splashing and wading, and also against slower deeper water that's just right for swimming. The cabin was just what we wanted--spacious enough for 4, super close to the water, and complete with a mossy old oak tree out front with a picnic table under it. We couldn't be more pleased."

The first 2 nights, we were the only ones in the property, so, it was truly an away-from-it-all vacation. Our pups loved it too and was super thrilled to see deer in the yard in the morning.

StarLight Cabin:
* Located on quite low traffic Tomahawk Ridge Rd/PR 3900 (a private road with no-thru-traffic or public access.)
** Brilliant Milky Way and stars are inherent to the night skies here. You won't even see the lights of Utopia and will seldom see more than 2-3 distant lights from the cabin patio.
*** Some of the best year-round bird watching in the USA. This is one of the best natural habitats for Dove nesting and many other bird species.
**** We may not be plush and fancy, but it's a quite and peaceful little space that's perfect for a big dose of Rest & Relaxation.
***** For indoor entertainment, there is a 32" television for DVD use only. (Please bring your own movies.) You can also purchase the Robert Duvall movie filmed here, "Seven Days In Utopia" at The Lost Maples Cafe.)
****** Because of past & potential damage to flooring, carpeting, upholstery, and interior structure, etc., we do not allow indoor pets.
