Guests describe it as peaceful and magical, with many returning for repeat visits
Unwind in a restored log cabin just for two with special comforts and seclusion, perched amidst oak trees, with a detached screened porch/fireplace. There is ONLY ONE guest cabin on 26 acres with our Lake Travis shoreline in the distance. A pastoral sunrise view of deer across the field begins the day. Central A/C, smart tv, clawfoot tub/shower, queen cotton bedding, duvet and robes. Propane grill. See the night sky, Wildlife/flowers, birding, stars.
The space
Look out your front door across the field towards the lake, where deer bed-down in the evening. No houses across the lake provides a charmed, natural setting. A special spot is relaxing beneath the old oak tree by the lake, which is 1/4 mile (1300 feet) away. Hummingbirds, roadrunners, and songbirds may pay you a visit. It is all simply relaxing. You are the only guests on 26 acres.
Lake Travis is navigable but not full. We don't recommend accessing the lake from our property due to possible muddy dropoff. Our cove is normally a gently-sloping grassy area. Nearby Lake Marble Falls or Lake LBJ are good alternatives. Krause Springs is down the road with a spring-fed pool for swimming.
We provide self-checkin.
You have:
An outside gas grill with side-burner, we provide propane.
Kitchenette is fully stocked with dishes/utensils/pots and pans for the grill's side-burner.
Microwave and small fridge inside and one full-sized refrigerator with top freezer (no ice-maker) by the screened porch. There is no oven. K-cup coffee machine, kcups, sugar, creamer.
Owners live on property out of view on a hill behind the cabin. We can't see you, either! We do share the road and must drive past the screened porch to proceed up the hill.
Guest access
We have a coded entrance gate and will provide a code to you the day prior to arrival.
Guests have access to all of the property from the cabin down to the lakefront. Please see our pictures to get an idea of the space: there is one showing the view from the cabin's uncovered porch looking out over a field towards the lake. Depending on the lake level, you can see the lake through the trees in the distance (In 2024, we are still in a drought stage and the lake is very low). The cabin is surrounded by oaks, so there is always some shade (plus the additional separate screened porch) and typically a nice breeze.
Keep in mind that even though this is 26 acres, it is private property, and there are neighbors on other acreage in the area. Drones are not allowed. Loud music can be heard.
Other things to note
PLEASE READ:
We, the original owners, celebrate 30 years in business as Chanticleer Log Cabin, in 2026!
Please note the cabin is intimate (but lovely and you will not want to leave). Our pictures display the interior, but just a word of caution in case you are not ready to be in close quarters with your travel companion.
*2026: Lake Travis is full as of July. We do not have a boat ramp, but putting a kayak in from our shore is grassy, gently sloping. Lake Marble Falls or Lake LBJ would be preferable for a ramp access and motorboat.
We provide k-cup coffee/sugar/creamer. The outside gas grill has a side-burner and we provide propane. Kitchenette is fully stocked with dishes/utensils/pots and pans for the grill's side-burner.
There is a microwave and small fridge inside and one full-sized refrigerator with freezer (no ice-maker) by the screened porch. There is no oven.

Books/magazines and games inside, horseshoes out front, a selection of DVDs. Free wifi and a 32" smart tv.
There is a hammock between the trees. Both the cabin porch and the screened porch have chairs and pillows and there is a small bistro table on the screened porch. The screened porch is enclosed with plastic panels in the winter.
We are the original owners since the log cabin was reconstructed (by L.C.) in 1995.

Neighborhood highlights
The 2023 wildflower season is beautiful! Chanticleer is on 26 acres with Lake Travis frontage and easy access. The adjoining 50 acres to the north is currently not inhabited. To the south is a small neighborhood with some homes. We are rural, so expect to see wildlife and the night sky.
Meet your host
LC rebuilt this dismantled log cabin and we opened for business as Chanticleer in 1996. We lived in Austin and rented the cabin only on weekends as a B&B. We built our home here in 2000, commuted to work in Austin (also telecommuted) until retirement in 2016. We love our rural life, sharing it with guests, and traveling. L.C.'s interests: aviation and war history, Mallonee's: traveling to Italy, swimming, and birdwatching on the porch.
