As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.

Camping is easily one of our favorite activities here in Texas. Since we do it so much, sometimes it’s fun to change it up a bit and “rough it” in style. With cooler weather fast approaching, nothing is more perfect than sitting in front of a roaring fireplace in a log cabin, drinking hot cocoa and telling stories. These cabins in Texas are ideal places to be your home away from home this fall.

1. Hill Country Log Cabin Treehouse (Bastrop)
Bastrop, TX 78602, USA
VRBO
This 1,300-square-foot, well-appointed log cabin treehouse is nestled right along the Colorado River near Bastrop. It's situated high up in a grove of pecan, sycamore, mimosa, and redbud trees, with a wraparound upper deck overlooking the pristine water. A spacious living room features a vaulted ceiling, stone gas fireplace, plenty of space to relax, and even an indoor hammock! The attached kitchen is fully equipped with all the amenities necessary to make guests feel right at home. This is easily one of the coolest cabins for rent in Texas!
2. Fortress (Canyon)
Canyon, TX 79015, USA
VRBO
The name "fortress" comes from the Fortress Cliffs of the canyon that sit directly outside the Dove's Rest Cabins. Between this breathtaking view and the numerous amenities including a wood-burning fireplace, covered patio with porch swings, and BBQ pit, I can think of few better places in Texas to escape to this fall. Fire up the grill to warm the bellies of the entire family on a chilly night, and spend the rest of the evening admiring the gorgeous vistas and feeling as if y'all are the only people on earth.
3. Weinland Haus (Fredericksburg)
Fredericksburg, TX 78624, USA

Formerly located in Tennessee, this cozy cottage was literally disassembled, brought to Texas, and rebuilt. It has a den, two bedrooms and attached bathrooms with clawfoot tubs, a fully-stocked kitchen, and a spacious patio with a grandiose rock fireplace. It's the best of both worlds - a charming, country feel while being mere minutes away from the lively town square.

What are some other unique getaways in Texas?

While many hotels and VRBO rentals in Texas offer an escape from reality, this one affords guests a particularly unique opportunity. Gerrie’s Place in Cypress is a secluded little country home surrounded by four-legged friends who always enjoy meeting new people. Come stay a while, unplug, and find simple pleasure in the goofy smiles of the animal kingdom’s cutest creatures at this bonafide alpaca resort in Texas!

Continuing with our farm theme, if the idea of staying in a cozy farmhouse surrounded by Hill Country is your ideal Texas getaway, wait until you discover what’s in store for you at The Silos. Situated on 10 sprawling acres of land, these three quaint silo cottages are just eight miles away from Round Top. Measuring 400 square feet, the silos each accommodate four guests and each feature a one spacious bed and bath, guaranteed to make you feel right at home — and then some. Of course, the best part about these farmhouse VRBOs is their location — a barn, feedlot, and rusty old truck truly set the scene and make you feel like you’re staying on a farm. Add in a glorious Texas sunset, and you might never want to leave this unique getaway!

Of course, if it's views you're after, you can't beat the vistas from these cabins on the Grand Canyon of Texas. The nation’s second-largest canyon resides right here in Texas, and you can spend the night near the very tip-top. Palo Duro Canyon has three cabins situated on its rim, offering unparalleled panoramic views of the gorgeous red rock landscape.
