Reliving childhood memories
My best friend and I went to Lost Maples State park as a children for years with my grandparents. Finding the Hilltop River Hideaway was the perfect way to bring our families back to share our memories and love for the Hill Country. We enjoyed this home so much we extended our 3 day stay 2 extra days! The hosts have been amazing. We have 7 kids here ages 14-2 and they have all enjoyed it so much. Things weve enjoyed at the home: bird watching, building a campfire, a meteor shower/ star gazing, exploring, rock hunting, hiking, playing in the water, playing board games, cooking food, hot tub, grilling, looking at the moon through the telescope. The beds are extremely comfortable and everyone slept well. Only thing i would say is watch out for scorpians in the house. We saw several upon arrival then none for the remainder of the day.

We had wonderful stay. Our grandkids loved the creek access and went every day to play in the water. The scenery was great and sitting on the porch was my favorite place. The house is very enjoyable, and we loved the layout.

Kids wanted to go somewhere other than the beach
Family vacation for us normally end up at the beach. This was a great alternative. The home is a remote setting above the Sabinal River with views of beautiful mountains, stars everywhere at night and hummingbirds everywhere by day. Very spacious home, large decks, fun antiques old books, chessboard to occupy the downtime. The river provides a nice spot to cool down and kids loved trying to catch a few fish. They even set up a small pup tent for the camping experience. Home is well stocked but take everything you need with you …this is remote. Leakey Texas provided a few casual places to eat. Lost Maples was beautiful. We did the East Trail, kinda difficult but Monkey Rock was easy to get to. So if you love the outdoors you will love staying at this secluded home in the hills. Booking and host contact was perfect!!

We have stayed here many times and have always loved the home the views and the property. In the spring, the birds are always plentiful and fun to watch. Brent is a great host, providing everything from bird seed to charcoal for the grill. A fine place to unwind and recharge.

A nature lovers dream home.
We love our time at the hilltop hideaway! This home is perfect for families looking to reconnect with Texas and it’s nature. You instantly feel relaxed and are reminded to slow down and take in the views. The house has plenty of space to unwind and hangout with family or friends. The homeowners are very kind and have the house wonderfully prepared for your stay. I highly recommend staying here! I hope to come back again soon!

Like hiking? Lost Maples is right up the road. Like cycling? Incredible segments all around including The Wall!! And best of all, a river to soak in after all your efforts. The house is spacious, the beds are super comfy, and it's dog friendly! Yeah, we'll definitely be back!

Completely Blissful
We had a wonderful time at the Hilltop Hideaway. Upon arrival, we were greeted by half a dozen hummingbirds buzzing around the feeder on the front deck. There are birds everywhere on the property. Great for birdwatching. We also enjoyed seeing deer and rabbits. With the current drought, I was a little worried about how the river would be. Turns out it was clear and flowing nicely. It was one of the only spots in the area where the river wasn't dried up. The house itself is incredibly roomy. The pictures don't do it justice. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen is stocked with everything you could possibly need. Just one tip, get groceries before you get to the property. There is very little in the area, just a couple of small general stores. We will definitely be back.

Sabinal Stay
Amazing trip for me and my 5 friends! Absolutely beautiful property. The river isn’t really flowing but we were still able to get in the water out front of the property and did a lot of star gazing at night on the spacious deck. Only problem we had was the water went out but the owner was able to get someone out very quick to fix things. Looking forward to potentially coming back! 5 stars

Very peaceful and relaxing just what we needed. We hiked at Lost Maples and had lunch at the Utopia Cafe (the cherry pie is delicious). We loved watching the deer and birds. The fact that we could just walk down the hill to the river to fish and float was amazing. It was the most quiet and restful vacation ever. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us and for letting us bring our dog he loved it as much as we did.

Excellent house, property views of the hill country, and close to great hiking.
Love this house with 5 acres, great outdoor views with firepit and views of the river. The house is clean and perfect for 2 couples with lots of space to spread out. Beds were comfortable and Kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals and cook out on the grill. We hiked Lost Maples (l mile away) East Trail and Garner State Park multiple trails only 30 min away from the house. Just a great 3 day trip to the hill country.. Thanks for allowing us to stay at your property and a special thanks for letting us bring our little fur baby.
